Manchester City striker Mario Balotelli usually doesnt get rejected on or off the field of play. Apparently Nicki Minaj didnt receive the memo and snubbed a rendezvous with the Italian star by opting for a late dinner at Nando's.
According to Metro, Minaj refused to meet the Manchester City star before her Pink Friday: Reloaded concert at Manchester Evening News (MEN) Arena on Monday. Balotelli attended the concert with his Manchester City teammates.
Mario was gutted, Metro reports a source told the Sun. Hes a big fan and turned up with gifts along with his other Man City teammates.
But Nicki was too tired after the gig ! and feasted on a massive Nandos order instead so he went home disappointed. Hed even bought a camera especially.
Minaj plans to do another show at the MEN Arena on Nov. 2.
