She said in a statement: "With the continued spread of the coronavirus throughout the U.S., as a pregnant woman, my doctors have advised me to limit travel and large group gatherings.

"I am disappointed I won't be able to return this month to the place where I was born, Ft. Hood Texas, and put on the amazing show we had planned.

"I urge everyone to be diligent in taking steps to stay healthy and safe."

However, the 34-year-old star - who has five-year-old son Future Zahir with former partner Future - and two-year-old daughter Sienna with husband Russell Wilson - is hoping to be involved with the Fort Hood USO concert is rescheduled later this year.

She added: "I look forward to being able to bring it to you at a later date in 2020."
