Following Monday night rumors that Nicki Minaj would headline University Union’s Block Party concert, UU reaffirmed that plans for the event have not been finalized. UU issued a statement about the April 27 spring concert after the rumors spread via Twitter. The comments ultimately resulted in similar responses of denial from both the accounts of Nicki Minaj and UU.

‘We aren’t quite sure how the Nicki Minaj rumor started because there is absolutely no validity to the claim that she will be performing at Block Party,’ said Binta Jammeh, director of public relations.

The Daily Orange met with UU on Friday to discuss announcement plans for both events, but Kenny Consor, co-director of UU concerts, was unable to confirm any further details about either Block Party or Mayfest.  

Said Jammeh: ‘We are still in the process of booking the show, therefore we cannot release more concrete information at this time.’
