Nicki Minaj’s ‘Pink Friday 2 World Tour’ Opening Night Was Nearly Overshadowed After A Video Surfaced Of Fans Fighting At The Show

Nicki Minaj came out swinging to kick off her highly anticipated Pink Friday 2 World Tour.

Unfortunately, so did a few of her devoted super fans, the Barbs. As the “Beep Beep” rapper took to the Oakland Arena stage on March 1, clips of her opening performance quickly flooded social media platforms like X (formerly Twitter). But there was one video that stole all the spotlight, and it didn’t involve Minaj at all. A now-viral visual shared on the platform showed several concertgoers involved in a vicious brawl.

In the clip, two attendees are seen punching another ticketholder. The blows exchange as security watches from afar before eventually intervening to separate the parties. With tensions still high, the last frame of the video shows the individuals yelling while being held back before it ends.

It is unclear what initiated the incident as none of the individuals have been publicly identified. Minaj also hasn’t addressed the viral video. However, she did take a moment to pen a touching note to her fans for their continued support days later. “Dear Barbz, I love you,” she wrote. “I really do. Always have. Always will.”

Minaj has several dozen shows left on her Pink Friday 2 World Tour. The next performance is slated for March 8 in Las Vegas, Nevada. View the full tour schedule (here), working setlist (here), and tour merch (here).

Nicki Minaj Shows Off Her Flexibility With An On-Stage Split During “Pink Friday 2” Show

One of the biggest tours of 2024 got underway earlier this month. Nicki Minaj took off on the back of her new album Pink Friday 2 with a tour of the same name. So far she’s played two shows in Oakland and Denver. Across the next few months, she’ll play a few dozen more shows across North America before taking off to Europe in May. Though the tour has only just gotten started, clips from the performances are already attracting plenty of attention online.

Earlier today, video started making the rounds online of an attention-grabbing piece of choreography from one of the shows. In the clip, Nicki shows off her flexibility by doing a split on stage in an incredibly revealing fit. Fans cheer her on as she takes her time descending to an almost full split. But her stopping short of that full split actually drew some criticisms from fans in the comments. “Did anyone else cringe?” and “Chillleee yall paid hundreds of dollars for this ?” two other comments read. Others compare her to some of her other female rap contemporaries. “Lmaoooo sis couldn’t do that center split. Meg and Cardi do it with no hesitation” another comment reads. Check out the video and the fan reactions to it below.

Nicki Minaj’s Almost Full Split

The very first show of the Pink Friday 2 tour was already quite an event. The show took place in Oakland and a video of Barbz brawling in the audience. TMZ shared a clip of a surprisingly large and intense fight that broke out in the stands, though security eventually swarmed in to break things up. Barbz in attendance also started a chant taking at aim at Latto, who Nicki has had beef with throughout the past year.

What do you think of the video of Nicki Minaj performing an almost full split? Do you think she should keep it in her choreography at forthcoming shows on the Pink Friday 2 tour? Let us know in the comment section below.

Nicki Minaj’s Viral Dance Choreographer Clears The Air After Being Called Out Online

Canadian internet personality Donté Colley has shared another update on the ongoing drama involving the dance choreography for Nicki Minaj’s “FTCU.” He claims he isn’t getting an opportunity to collaborate nor proper credit for his work on a dance for the track.

“I have an update,” he began in a new video. “So, let me get into it. I was reached out to by a member of her team and I wasn’t after payment for this. I was just looking for the opportunity to potentially collaborate and receive credit. Neither one of those options seemed possible and have been rejected. I want to thank you so much for your words of encouragement. Y’all saw something, knew it wasn’t right, and brought it to my attention and we should be uplifting and supporting each other and continuing to do so. So, I encourage other artists to seek credit for their work.”

Minaj previously addressed Colley’s request for credit in a tweet from last month. “I thought a lady Zara made it up?” she wrote at the time.”Thought she was an artist having fun w|it…? so glad barbz brought it2 my attention in time [making me proud as always]. I’ll have Casper reach out to this VERY TALENTED & seemingly VERY sweet guy ASAP to figure out the best way to make him feel seen, appreciated & paid.” From there, someone from Minaj’s team explained why they weren’t working with Colley on the tour. “Please STOP spreading false narratives,” they wrote on Twitter. “We offered to pay him as a choreographer even though it was less than 10 seconds of choreo that we altered. ALSO offered him tix to his hometown w/ a meet a greet. He declined all this & demanded a shoutout and to get dance on stage w/ her!”

Will Nicki Minaj’s ‘Pink Friday 2 World Tour’ Have Meet And Greet?

No matter what you call it, Gag City of the Pink Friday 2 World Tour, Nicki Minaj is ready for global domination. The 37-date run, which includes headlining appearances at Rolling Loud California and Dreamville Festival 2024, will kick off on March 1 in Oakland, California. Now that the exclusive presale has begun with the general sale starting soon, fans of the “Fallin 4 U” rapper have questions. Near the top of the list is, will Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 World Tour have a meet and greet option?

As of today (December 12), a meet-and-greet option hasn’t been announced. However, there is a considerable demand for it. Conversely, due to the COVID epidemic, most artists have done away with face-to-face exchanges with fans as an add-on option.

However, the VIP packages are stuffed with other goodies to potentially make up for the absence of a meet-and-greet option. VIP ticket holders can access the Call of Duty gaming station, Pink Friday press-on-nail station, photo backdrop moments, exclusive merch, tour poster, and official VIP laminate.

View the tour schedule for the Pink Friday 2 World Tour below.

Nicki Minaj announced the North American tour dates for her Pink Friday 2 World Tour, in support of her recently-released album. However, some fans have some questions about the possibility of a Gag City tour — or if the two are the same thing. The internet has been buzzing about Minaj’s Gag City over the past few days.

Thankfully, we’re here to help clear things up. Here’s what to know.

Is Nicki Minaj’s “Gag City” Tour The Same As The Pink Friday 2 World Tour?

Right now, Nicki Minaj’s tour dates for her latest album are simply known as the Pink Friday 2 World Tour, including what is listed on Live Nation’s website. This doesn’t mean Gag City as a phrase has been completely ruled out, though. Instead, Minaj used it to title one of her VIP packages. The Gag City Headquarters package gives a bunch of exclusive perks, including access to a Minaj-themed lounge.

Fans online have also just started dubbing the Pink Friday 2 World Tour as the “Gag City Tour,” partially as a joke online — which has resulted in a bunch of memes. So, basically, they are the same thing if you do encounter it.
