Hordes of fans have been seen chasing after Nicki Minaj's van in London after a chaotic meet and greet event.
The 'Super Bass' rapper was set to appear at Cafe Koko in Camden at around midday on Monday (July 11).
However, there was so much chaos around the area because of the star's imminent arrival, she didn't get there until 6pm.
The overcrowded event was ultimately cancelled as thousands of adoring fans ran to get a sneak peek of the star, according to The Guardian.

A spokesperson for the Metropolitan Police told The Daily Mail: "A local policing plan was in place for an event at KOKO in Camden this evening.
"Police were contacted by venue staff beforehand concerned about significant crowding outside.
"Further police resources had to be deployed to keep public order and close roads."
"In the interests of safety the event managers took the decision that the event would not go ahead. Members of the public are advised not to travel to the area."

Nicki also tried to calm everyone down and revealed that they shouldn't be around Cafe Koko if they didn't have a ticket to the meet and greet.
The ‘Anaconda’ singer took to Twitter to say: “Guys, if you don’t get in a contained space they won’t let me get out the cars. Pls don’t run in the streets. Please get in 1 place. 1 line.”
Those pleas fell on deaf ears and people came anyway.

Once the event wrapped up, she had to wade through loads of screaming fans.
She hopped up on her van to see all the people who had come out to see her and gave them a final wave.
As her van pulled away from the Camden venue, loads of her adoring supporters ran after her vehicle.
Minaj is currently in the UK as she was apart of the Wireless Festival's all-female lineup in Finsbury Park, north London over the weekend.
However, Metro reports that the rapper enraged many of her fans as she was 40 minutes late to her performance, which meant that she only performed half of her 80-minute set.

The performance was also plagued with technical difficulties and Minaj’s annoyance with the crowd, who became increasingly impatient throughout the night.
A fan told the outlet: “I spent so much to come to London and see Nicki this was a disappointment.
“I saw Cardi and she was great and bang on time. Nicki was late, barely got going, and didn’t explain why she was late.”
