by

Nicki Minaj is currently making her way across North America on her Pink Friday 2 world tour, and stopped in Chicago for a set of shows today (April 24) and tomorrow. She’s joined by her husband Kenneth Petty, as well as her young son Papa Bear. While in town, the femcee opted to visit the Shedd Aquarium, undoubtedly giving her little one an unforgettable experience. Of course, Nicki and her family got the VIP experience. They went behind the scenes to meet a penguin, watched a fun animal presentation, and more.

She shared a few clips from the outing on Instagram yesterday, thanking aquarium staff for making their experience special. “Thank you to the amazing employees at the Aquarium in Chicago today. 🩷💛💜🩵🤍 #PapaBear had a great time 😉🌊🐳🌊🐬,” she wrote.

Nicki Minaj & Her Family Visit The Shedd Aquarium

In one of the clips, Nicki, Petty, and their son are seen approaching a penguin, who’s being held by a staff member. Papa Bear looked thrilled to get an up-close look at the animal, though he only ventured to put a single finger on it. Either way, his mother and other family members commended him for his bravery, and his father gave him a high five. It looks like they had a blast, and are making the most of their tour around the world.

While Nicki’s tour has gone off mostly without a hitch so far, she did recently run into a bit of trouble on her way to Montreal earlier this month. Due to flight delays and cancellations, her show started late, though attendees can agree it was still impressive. Nicki later took to Twitter/X to vent about the situation, claiming that “the sabotage be real.” What do you think of Nicki Minaj and her family’s aquarium excursion? What about Papa Bear getting to meet a penguin? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Nicki Minaj Brings Out Big Sean For Detroit Concert

by

Nicki Minaj brought out Big Sean in his hometown of Detroit over the weekend while she performed on her Pink Friday 2 World Tour. While on stage together, the two performed their 2011 hit collaboration, “Dance (A$$) Remix,” among other tracks.

Afterward, Sean thanked Nicki for the opportunity in a video on social media. “That show was crazy,” he began. “I appreciate her bringing me out, doing our slaps. She gave me a whole set for real which was fun for the whole city. It’s been a minute. I’ma be back performing too for the NFL Draft. If you in Detroit, f*ck with me… Shout out to the Barbz. Shout out to everybody who was at gag city tonight, Little Caesars Arena. It was fun, dog. I’ll see y’all soon.”

Despite the fun night, it’s been a bit of a rocky road for Minaj on the Pink Friday 2 World Tour in recent days. While trying to get into Canada for a show in Montreal, she ran into difficulties getting through the border. She ended up being three hours late for the concert and thanked Drake for helping her make it at all. “Drizzy he made a couple calls for me,” she wrote on her Instagram Story. She brought out Drake during her performance in Toronto.

Nicki Minaj Treated A ‘Pink Friday 2 World Tour’ Concertgoer To Their Own Medicine After They Tossed Something At The Rapper Onstage

Nicki Minaj and Cardi B may not see eye to eye, but they do agree on one thing — disrespectful concertgoers should be dealt with immediately.

Yesterday (April 20), during Nicki’s Pink Friday 2 World Tour stop in Detroit, Michigan, an attendee attempted to ruin the event for everyone. As Nicki rapped her crossover hit “Starships” (despite vowing never perform it anymore), a ticket holder seemingly tossed an object at the musician.

Fortunately, the item didn’t make contact with Nicki. Instead, she blocked the trinket, then she hurled it back in the direction that it was thrown from. In the clip captured by a bystander, venue security was seen working their way to the section in question. However, it is unclear if the culprit was tracked down. The show continued without any further interruption.

At another point of the concert, Nicki surprised fans with a few guest cameos. To pay homage to the Motor City, she brought out two rappers from the city. One of those musicians was none other than hometown hero Big Sean. The duo performed their 2011 “Dance (Ass)” Remix.

Fellow Detroit native, Sada Baby, made his way onto the stage for a performance of his 2020 single “Whole Lotta Choppas.” Nicki was sure to deliver her viral verse from the song’s remix for all to recite back to her.

Nicki Minaj hasn’t addressed the incident online. So, all’s well that ends well.

Nicki Minaj Hurls Object Into Crowd During Show, Sparking Cardi B Comparisons

by

Nicki Minaj has kept herself busy as of late, making her way across North America on her eagerly anticipated Pink Friday 2 world tour. So far, her performances have been nothing short of impressive, with the femcee delivering hit after hit. She’s also been joined by several celebrity guests like 50 Cent, Tyga, JT, and many more.

While the Queen of Rap is surely having a blast celebrating her new album with fans, that doesn’t mean the tour has been totally free of annoyances. During a recent show, for example, someone threw an object at her during “Starships.” In a clip from the shocking moment, it nearly hits her in the head. Luckily, it just missed her, though it did leave her visibly irritated.

Nicki Minaj Has Had Enough Of Thrown Objects

Looking outraged, Nicki picked the item up off the ground, promptly hurling it back into the crowd. It’s unclear what exactly the object was, but fortunately, it looked pretty small. It’s also unconfirmed whether or not anybody was hit after the “FTCU” rapper threw it. Either way, most fans can agree that she was justified, particularly considering reports of other artists being injured in similar situations. After all, she still has all of Europe, the UK, and Australia to get to.

The clip has, however, caused viewers to look back on another instance of a femcee throwing something into the crowd. This, of course, is Cardi B’s infamous viral mic throw of last year. For those who don’t recall, someone splashed the “Enough” rapper with a drink onstage, prompting her to launch a microphone at them. “This is giving cardi b,” one commenter writes. “She wants to be Cardi B so bad,” another claims. What do you think of Nicki Minaj hurling an object thrown at her onstage back into the crowd? What about social media users comparing the incident to Cardi B’s mic throw? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Nicki Minaj Claims Late Concert Start In Montreal Was Due To This Malicious Reason

by

As is expected for any massive trek, Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 world tour hasn’t been without its hiccups here and there. Still, she and her team have been able to work through them gracefully and effectively, leading to overall praised performances and a consistent run that’s been able to handle technical and logistical problems well. However, the Trinidadian superstar insinuated on Twitter on Wednesday night (April 17) that something more malicious was taking place to “sabotage” her concerts. For those unaware, she arrived later than expected at her Montreal show that night due to flight delays and cancellations, plus processes upon arrival that she explains in the tweet below.

“Yesterday my flight scheduled for midnight shut their plane down @ 12:58pm,” Nicki Minaj tweeted. “Never in 15 years have I heard of anything like that. A 70K G4 and thought we were going to PAY THEM for that flight as well as whatever flight I’d have to get on next. They thought wrong.

Nicki Minaj Claims She Overcame Sabotage For Her Montreal Pink Friday 2 World Tour Stop Last Night

“Today, we asked if we could leave at 1pm,” Nicki Minaj continued. “They said no, we could leave at 3pm. Then they said that won’t work, we’d need to leave at 5pm. ?!?!!!!! Yup. For a 930pm show in Canada. When we got to the plane, they then said they were ‘STILL FUELING’. At 630pm, they said they were ‘still fueling’ (for an hour & a half flight) When we did get to Canada, they did a bunch of stuff they didn’t do the last 2 times I came for the OVO FEST. They started searching through my personal purses. Usually they take me to the car with my purses & check the bigger luggage. Nope. Not this time.

More Nicki Tweets

“They know I have a show, they know we’re 20 mins away. They know we don’t have a police escort. The sabotage be real but GOD IS REALER,” she concluded. “I’ll be on stage in 15 mins. Barbz, I can’t wait to see you. We’re going to have a magical night. Love you. My apologies. I’m going to get to the bottom of this when I get off stage.” “Like I SAID. A MAGICAL F&$!NG SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!” the 41-year-old wrote on the social media platform after the show was over. “#GagCityMontreal was ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! From START to FINISH. HAHAHHAAAAAAAAABWAHAHAHA!!!!! YOU CAN’T STOP ME YOU WILL NEVER STOP ME ALL YOU’LL do is CURSE YOURSELF!!!!!! You ain’t know?!?!!! Well watch.” For more news and the latest updates on Nicki Minaj, come back to HNHH.

Nicki Minaj’s Husband, Kenneth Petty, Receives Judge’s Decision On Joining Her Abroad For “Pink Friday 2 World Tour”

by

Nicki Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty, has gotten a judge’s permission to join her on the international leg of her Pink Friday 2 World Tour, which will kick off later this month. In a filing to the court, Petty argued he needed to accompany the family for “various purposes, including childcare.” The two share a 3-year-old son.

“Defendant Kenneth Petty (‘Mr. Petty’), by and through counsel, hereby applies to the Court for an Order allowing him to travel out of the country with his family for his wife’s tour and her professional purposes,” the filing reads, as shared by Meghann Cuniff. “Mr. Petty and Mrs. Petty believe Mr. Petty is necessary to accompany the family on the tour for various purposes, including childcare. The anticipated travel schedule begins on April 17, 2024, and continues periodically to July 14, 2024. The travel schedule calls for travel to several countries including Canada, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, France, United Kingdom, Austria, Ireland, Switzerland, and Romania. The Government has been notified about this application and takes no position. Mr. Petty’s probation officer has been notified of this application and has no objection to the travel request.”

Los Angeles Judge Michael Fitzgerald approved the request on Tuesday. Petty will have to supply his probation officer with the exact details of his travel arrangements and return to Los Angeles as soon as the tour concludes in July. The drama stems from Petty being a registered sex offender for the 1994 rape of Jennifer Hough, who was 16 years old at the time. Additionally, he was sentenced to 120 days of house arrest in 2023 for threatening Offset.

Minaj’s first international show will be in Toronto on April 30. Be on the lookout for further updates on Nicki Minaj and the Pink Friday 2 World Tour on HotNewHipHop.

Kenneth Perry Requests Court Permission To Go On Pink Friday 2 World Tour

by
plea deal Nicki Minaj Kenneth Petty LA

According to court docs obtained by TMZ, Nicki Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty, is asking a court for permission to travel out of the country so he can join her on tour in Europe … and he says he’ll be needed overseas.

Perry says he isn’t just looking to globe-trot with Nicki for fun — on the contrary, he says it’s necessary to join her on the European leg of her “Pink Friday 2” world tour for a bunch of reasons, mainly to provide childcare for their son.

The start date he lists for the anticipated travel schedule is April 17, 2024 … and he says there will be stops in Canada, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Austria, Ireland, Switzerland, and Romania.

Petty says he plans to be back in the U.S. by July 14, 2024, right after the tour wraps up — and is hoping for a green light to join his wife. According to the court documents, his probation officer hasn’t raised any objections to his travel request. However, if Kenneth’s request gets approved, he’ll likely need to provide the officer with a detailed travel itinerary and also check in once he’s back.

As previously reported, Kenneth is currently serving three years probation for failing to register as a sex offender in California. If a judge doesn’t sign off on the request, Perry will not be joining his wife on her world tour.

Nicki Minaj’s Husband Seeks Travel Permission From Federal Judge

by

Nicki Minaj wants to make the Pink Friday 2 tour a family affair. The “Super Freaky Girl” rapper will be traveling to different parts of the world to promote her new album, but the same cannot be currently said for her husband. Kenneth Petty’s failure to register as a sex offender in Los Angeles has led to him being placed on probation. As a result, he’s prohibited from traveling outside of the country. This prohibition is something Minaj and Petty hope to overturn.

According to Washington Post writer Meghann Cuniff, Petty is seeking permission to travel outside of the United States. Cuniff broke the news on X (formerly X), along with a photo of Petty’s documentation. This request comes less than a year after Petty’s last controversy. Parole violation paperwork stated that the registered sex offender was caught making “threatening remarks toward a specific individual while in the company of someone with a criminal record.” The individual in question was Offset, and Petty was subsequently sentenced to 120 days house arrest.

Kenneth Petty Wants To Attend Nicki Minaj’s Tour

Petty’s sex offender status has generated a lot of controversy for Nicki Minaj over the years. The rapper has had to defend her marriage to users online, and has made a point of keeping her personal life as private as possible. Minaj’s profile in Vogue is one of the only time she discusses Petty openly, and explains why they connected. “We make each other laugh. We’re silly,” she explained. “And we’re always reminiscing about some old story.” Minaj also revealed that Petty is one of the few people to call her by her legal name.

Cuniff reported that Petty’s probation officers are not opposed to the request. The prosecutors, meanwhile, are taking no position in the ruling either way. The proposed court order, which was written by Petty’s lawyer, states that Petty must be back in the U.S. by July 14, 2024. “At the conclusion of the travel, Mr. Petty must return to Los Angeles County and must check in with his probation officer upon returning,” the order reads. Nicki Minaj’s proposed travel schedule kicks off April 17, however, so the window for Petty to be cleared is relatively short. A ruling has not yet been by the judge.

by

Joe Budden is someone who is largely known as a hater on the internet. However, he is also a huge fan of certain artists. Overall, one artist he has always supported is none other than Nicki Minaj. While the two have certainly butted heads over the years, Joe always finds himself supporting her when he can. Ultimately, one of the best ways to support an artist is by going to their shows. Luckily for Budden, Nicki has been on tour as a way to support her latest project, Pink Friday 2. In fact, last night she was in Brooklyn at the Barclays Center.

In the video clip down below, you can see that Joe Budden was at the show, sitting fairly close to the front. Someone was able to capture a video of the podcast host, who seemed to be pretty early to the show. Clearly, he wanted to make sure he got in his seat before things got too hectic. Of course, it should come as no surprise that Nicki was able to sell out this show. She even has two more outings at the Barclays Center, and fans are expected to come out in droves.

50 Cent Catching Some Heat From Fans Over His Fit

50 Cent will get another shot to show off his on stage drip when he performs at Dreamville Festival later this week. The two day festival recently made some last minute adjustments to the previously announced lineup. That included dropping Chris Brown, who had to pull out of the festival for currently unknown reasons and replacing him with 50.

50 is also dealing with added pressure from a lawsuit filed in 2021 surrounding his Starz tv show Power. The lawsuit recently received a new motion that’s attempting to prevent both 50 and Starz from promoting the new upcoming Origins spinoff series of the show. The motion hasn’t had a ruling made on it yet. What do you think of the outfit 50 Cent wore on stage with Nicki Minaj over the weekend? Do you think he deserved some of the jokes fans made about the fit in his comments? Let us know in the comment section below.
