Ke$ha Speaks On Nicki Minaj Dropping Out Of Rihanna Tour

But she is still excited to still be on the line up, as she explains...

MTV's Brand New: 10 For 10 artist Ke$ha has said that it’s a shame that rapper Nicki Minaj decided not to go on tour with her and Rihanna.

Nicki had dropped out of the Ri' headlined Last Girl On Earth tour, but Ke$ha is still excited about being on the tour regardless.

On hearing that Minaj would no longer be taking part, Ke$ha told MTV.com: "I hadn't heard that. Is that true? Oh, that's a bummer. I have no idea why and I hadn't even heard that, but that's a bummer."

When asked who could be Minaj's replacement, Ke$ha said:

"I'll get my wheels turning. I wasn't aware of that, but I'll totally think about it. I mean, I'm just so excited to be on the same stage as Rihanna. She's obviously an incredible performer, singer, woman. So that tour's going to be so much fun."
