by

Nicki Minaj is having a huge moment right now. She is currently on the Pink Friday 2 World Tour and is selling out crowds in every city she visits. Overall, the tour has been a massive success. So much so that she recently announced a plethora of new dates in North America. However, as of right now, she is currently overseas where she was most recently in the UK. Fans out that way love her, and on Monday, Birmingham showed up and showed out for her.

During the show, Nicki surprised the fans by bringing back her alter-ego Martha. For those who may not know, Martha was a character that Nicki brought to the table on the original Pink Friday album from back in 2010. To mark the return of this alter-ego, Nicki decided to pay tribute to none other than Princess Diana. In the TikTok video below, you can see the moment that Minaj asked the crowd to hold a moment of silence for whom she described as a “dear friend.”

“Wales — it always reminds me of a dear friend of mine. Well, she’s not here anymore, but the Princess of Wales,” Nicki said in the clip. “Let’s have a moment of silence for her.” The love for Princess Diana runs deep. Of course, Minaj has a song named after her with the likes of Ice Spice. Not to mention, the late Princess remains incredibly popular across the UK and even the world. Needless to say, the move is going to make Nicki a whole lot more loved than she already is.

Nicki Minaj first revealed the dates for her new Pink Friday 2 tour late last year. It followed the release of the album of the same name, her first in 5 years dating back to Queen. The tour took off in February and has made near nightly news ever since. Rather than taking a variety of opening acts along with her she opted to bring out multiple high-profile guests at almost every stop on the tour so far. She’s already embarked on the European leg of the tour but fans in North America who didn’t get to see her the first time around will have another chance.

Nicki recently announced that there would be a second North American leg of the Pink Friday 2 tour later this year. While she didn’t reveal much of any info about when and where she would be playing, fans didn’t have to wait long for the official announcement. She unveiled 22 new dates beginning in early September and running into October. The tour is scheduled to hit 21 different spots, with an additional second show in Los Angeles. Pre sale for the newly announced shows begins later today with the full general sale starting on Friday. Check out the full announcement post she shared below.

Nicki Minaj’s Chaotic Airport Arrest Forced Her Manchester Concert To Be Postponed, But A New Date Has Been Revealed

It was a weekend for Nicki Minaj. On Saturday, May 25, Minaj live-posted her chaotic arrest at an Amsterdam airport during her Pink Friday 2 World Tour. According to The Associated Press, Netherlands police “discovered marijuana in her bags as she was preparing to leave the country.”

Minaj was released later that night, as reported by various reputable outlets, after “sitting in a jail cell for five-to-six hours,” according to Minaj. The debacle forced Minaj to postpone her scheduled May 25 Pink Friday 2 World Tour concert in Manchester, England. (Minaj also had a pre-existing May 30 Manchester show on her tour.)

“OK guys, I was JUST RE-ADVISED that we actually CAN NOT do any other date for the make up #gagcityMANCHESTER date besides JUNE 3rd,” Minaj wrote on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday, May 27. “So JUNE 3rd is the new official date for all ticket holders who originally had tickets to the MAY 25th #Manchester show. I apologize for all the inconvenience this has caused. I really hope you can make the #JUNE3rd show. It’ll be really special. Ticketmaster will contact you to advise officially. #GAGCITY Love you.”

Minaj was able to perform as scheduled in Birmingham, England, on Sunday, May 26, and she will hit up London’s famed The O2 on May 28, Glasgow on May 29, Manchester on May 30, Paris on June 1, and Amsterdam on June 2, before looping back to make up her May 25 Manchester date on June 3.

See all of Minaj’s remaining dates here, and check out some of her posts regarding the matter below.

Nicki Minaj Has Issued A Statement Following Her Arrest In Amsterdam For Drug-Related Charges

Nicki Minaj is officially a free woman.

Yesterday (May 25), the “Barbie World” rapper was arrested while traveling in Amsterdam, Netherlands. According to Dutch authorities, Nicki was detained for “exporting soft drugs” in relation to the pre-rolled marijuana cigarettes reportedly found in her possession. Now, the entertainer is speaking out regarding the incident.

Late yesterday evening, Nicki released a statement on her official X (formerly Twitter) account. “Thank you to everyone who prayed for me today,” she wrote. “May God cover you & all that is connected to you. May you be blessed beyond your imagination.”

In the second half of Nicki’s note, she explained why her Pink Friday 2 World Tour stop in Manchester, England was postponed despite her having been released by law enforcement. “After sitting in a jail cell for 5–6 hours, my plane still didn’t take off for another 20 mins once I boarded,” she wrote. “The flight was 50 mins. That’s why they had to do the big song and dance because they knew I’d still find a way to perform even if it came down to my last 90 mins in the building, which would have been until 11:30 p.m. The building was willing to go past 11 p.m. So grateful to them for that.”

Although Nicki’s scheduled show did not take place, she decided to host an impromptu meet-and-greet near her hotel.

She also promised to circle back to the city to makeup for the missed performance. “Please please please accept my deepest and most sincere apologies,” she wrote. “They sure did know exactly how to hurt me today, but this, too, shall pass. We will have another date for tonight’s show shortly, and I’ll probably be able to share it tomorrow. One July option & one June option is currently being discussed. I’ll find a way to not only make up the date with the performance. But I’m going to create an added bonus for everyone that had a ticket for this show. Promise.”

Nicki didn’t let up on Dutch authorities. In a separate post, she pointed out that she wasn’t the only Black woman to seemingly have experienced racially charged mistreatment. Nicki reposted the statement shared after Ari Lennox’s 2021 arrest in the country.

At this time, a new date has not yet been revealed for the rescheduled Pink Friday 2 World Tour shows.

Nicki Minaj Announces A Second North American Leg Of The “Pink Friday 2” Tour

by

Once of the biggest tours of 2024 so far has been Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 world tour. It kicked off back in November with a North American run. The shows made nightly news for the various guests she had on stage with her. Rather than opting for a roster of opening acts she instead chose to have different star guests on in nearly every single city. Now the tour has taken off on a European leg which is racking up sold out shows of its own. She’s sold out more than 30 consecutive arena shows. She’s also continually added more shows in more cities to her impressive run.

Now she’s made one of the most significant additions yet. Earlier today Nicki announced that there will be an entire second North American leg of the tour starting later this year when she returns from overseas. It’s a pretty exciting prospect for Nicki fans that weren’t able to catch her the first time around. How many extra shows she will perform as well as the dates and locations of the shows haven’t been announced yet. Fans can sign up for pre-sale right now and Minaj promises that the tickets themselves will go on sale at some point in the next few days. Check out the announcement she shared below.

Nicki Minaj is currently on the biggest tour of her career. Late last year she dropped her new album Pink Friday 2 and this year she’s taking the album on a massive world tour. The “Gag City” shows have already been making nightly news both for the overwhelming grandiosity of her performance and the litany of guests she’s been joined by along the way. Just last week. she was joined by Drake during her Toronto stop and then brought out Big Sean in Detroit just a few days later. That’s in addition to guys like 2 Chainz and 50 Cent who have popped up at other stops.

That’s why it’s no surprise that during a stop in Chicago earlier this week she was once again joined by some special guests. This time it was Jeremih and G Herbo who took the stage alongside the “Super Freaky Girl” rapper. Fan recorded videos of both artists joining her on stage flooded in the internet in the hours following the show. Nicki’s fans get the individual hashtags for the Gag City concerts trending on Twitter almost every time there’s a show. That leads to tons of discussion and clips being shared on social media whenever Nicki takes the stage. Check out the videos of her newest guests below.
