Nicki Minaj Responds To Criticism Ahead Of “Pink Friday 2”

by

Nicki Minaj is gearing up to drop her eagerly-awaited new album, Pink Friday 2, at the beginning of next month. Since announcing it, she’s provided the Barbz with a single, delivered special surprises each Friday to build anticipation, and more. The hitmaker frequently finds herself a target for criticism, however, with social media users always looking for opportunities to make negative comments on what she does.

Unfortunately, this seems to have left the rapper fed up, based on a recent message she shared with fans. In her message, she notes the backlash she gets on a regular basis, advising people to stop trying to tell her how to do her job. Instead, she thinks fans should simply enjoy the work she puts out, as she doesn’t intend to change her ways to appease anybody.

Nicki Minaj Claps Back

“Music is a very serious business for me & MANY OF US but it’s also my F*CKING ARTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!” she explained. “MY GIFT!!!!!!!! FROM GOD.” Nicki continued, noting how people in different professions don’t receive the same level of criticism. “Do you tell physicians how to operate on your penis holes & hair lines? Would you tell a pastor how to preach his sermon in the middle of Sunday worship? Do you tell the strippers where to position their butt holes while they on the pole tryna entertain you? Do you tell JORDAN HOW TO chew his gum & move his wrist b4 a FKING JUMP SHOT!!!??!??!”

“Being a ppl pleaser will never make the pleaser feel pleased,” she added. “So stop. Take it from me. I’ve learned the hard way for years.” Clearly, Nicki isn’t here for the criticism, and won’t be letting it stop her from doing her album the way she wants.

When Will Nicki Minaj Announce The ‘Pink Friday 2 Tour?’

Nicki Minaj has been teasing fans this week with her upcoming tour for Pink Friday 2, and now, she finally announced the cities for it. While the exact dates have yet to be unveiled, Minaj posted a link where fans could RSVP to be alerted when the tickets will drop for her shows.

Right now, Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Miami, New York, Oklahoma City, and Washington, DC are listed as just a few of the cities that Minaj will be visiting during her Pink Friday 2 tour next year. However, fans in cities not listed can also request for theirs to be considered for an added show.

Shortly after she dropped the signup link on social media today, Minaj had to tell the fans that they would still be able to get in, despite the site facing a clear rush of traffic.

“Barbz, there’s no need to panic,” Minaj wrote. “There were lots of ppl waiting on the site. About 30K ppl. Once they sign up, they’ll come off & you’ll be able to. Pls breathe. Also, obviously these aren’t the only countries I’m going to. Just sign up. I’m holding the line open for you.”

As Minaj was recently announced as a headliner for Rolling Loud California next year, which will count as a tour stop, the rest of the dates should be close behind.

View the complete list of cities so far below.

When Is Nicki Minaj’s ‘Pink Friday 2 Tour?’

After pushing her album Pink Friday 2 back a couple of times, it looks like Nicki Minaj has all her ducks in a row and is ready to finally begin the rollout in earnest. Today, she kept things moving along with the announcement of her Pink Friday 2 Tour, sharing a link on social media for fans to RSVP to be informed when the tickets drop for their respective dates.

However, it doesn’t look like Nicki has quite announced those dates yet, so we still don’t exactly know when the shows will be. Knowing the Barbz, though, they’ll drop everything to make sure they can attend once they do find out, so that probably won’t be much of an obstacle for Ms. Minaj. Among the cities listed are Los Angeles, Atlanta, Chicago, Dallas, Miami, New York (of course), Oklahoma City, Washington, DC, and more, along with a link to request a city (presumably, with enough requests, Nicki and her team will add dates later).

Of course, given the exuberance of her fans, Nicki herself had to address some concerns on Twitter and explain how it all works. “Barbz, there’s no need to panic,” she wrote. “There were lots of ppl waiting on the site. About 30K ppl. Once they sign up, they’ll come off & you’ll be able to. Pls breathe. Also, obviously these aren’t the only countries I’m going to. Just sign up. I’m holding the line open for you.”

She deigned to shoot down a hater who suggested that the RSVP site was a cover for some last-minute market research. “They’re trying to see if there’s any demand so they know to book theatres or arenas so that she doesn’t have dates that don’t sell out,” the account speculated. “Imagine waking up, realizing God gave you life & air to breathe & tweeting this,” Nicki clapped back. “Ppl who don’t like Nicki Minaj follow everything she does… DUMB HOE THIS IS AN ARENA TOUR. I HAVE THE ROUTING. THIS IS SIMPLY TO ADD MORE CITIES. AND why would I announce the routing now & not give other cities a chance to be added?” That account later deleted their tweet after Nicki encouraged her fans to mass report it (that whole “don’t attack people” lasted what? Two weeks?).

Just a few days after Nicki Minaj was announced as one of the headliners for Rolling Loud California’s 2024 festival, it seems she has some other surprises tied to her upcoming Pink Friday 2 album.

Today on Twitter, Minaj teased that she’s planning to release the lineup for her upcoming tour on Friday, November 17. “This will be incorporated into the tour lineup… the tour lineup that you guys will have in 3 days,” Minaj posted, pointing out that her shows will at least be held in March if her festival appearance is included among her dates.

While it’s still unknown who exactly Minaj’s tour opening acts will be, this does confirm that she will have (at least) one. Depending on what she intended with the post, her openers could be other Rolling Loud California performers. Some of the other top-billed women — Summer Walker, Sexyy Red, or Flo Milli — could be potential contenders for Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 shows.

Upon hearing the news, fans are also thrilled about the chance to hear Minaj’s new album at the California festival. Others are worried about if it will be her only show in Los Angeles for the tour.

Nicki Minaj Says She Realized Her Body Was ‘Fine’ Before Plastic Surgery

Nicki Minaj Accounces her own record label

Nicki Minaj reveals that she regrets her plastic surgery. Speaking on The Run-Through with Vogue after the release of her cover story, Minaj revealed she was fine as she was.

“I guarantee you, if you change anything on your body and do anything surgical and all this, you’re going to more than likely, not definitely, more than likely look back one day and say, ‘I was fine just the way I was,” Minaj said. “And that’s what happened to me.”

She added, “Seeing my son did remind me of myself so much. My real self. And it made me think, ‘Why didn’t I like this?’ So weird.”

You can hear the full interview below.

Ahead of the Pink Friday 2 album release, Nicki Minaj covered the new edition of Vogue magazine. Inside, she details how her world changed with the arrival of her son, affectionately known as Papa Bear.

Nicki Minaj has updated the release date for Pink Friday 2, making it available to fans on her birthday. Minaj shared the details in an Instagram Live session, setting the release date for Dec. 8.

“This entire album will be the biggest gift I’ve ever given humanity thus far,” Minaj said. “I can stand by that. I will bet any amount of money that Pink Friday 2, the album, is going to make people fall in love immediately.”

Nicki Minaj fans have been waiting for quite some time for the release of her highly-anticipated project, Pink Friday 2. Most recently, Queen Barbie herself went Live to her 227 million followers on Instagram to talk about the new project and its coinciding tour. Not only does she let fans into a little bit of her creative process behind her new release, she always explains that this Pink Friday 2 tour will be “greater than every other tour combined.” 

Nicki states, “Even though this album is called Pink Friday 2, even though we love the nostalgia, this will not remind you of another tour. That’s how I’ll say it. I mean, it’s gonna be greater than every other tour combined — like this album. This will be a very different feeling tour, even if you’ve been to every Nicki Minaj tour that’s ever existed. Because there are certain things that I always do similar in all my tours. This time, it’s going to be a completely different perspective.”

We can’t help but wonder exactly what this means, whether she’s talking about her performance style or her set design. But one thing’s for sure: it sounds like she’s putting a lot of time and effort into giving fans an unforgettable show!

“In addition to it being, of course, a whole new album, the approach to the tour will be very different and the feel of the tour will be very different. We still gon’ cover all the ground that is required to cover in order for y’all to know that you fucking with the best, but it won’t remind you of another tour.”

The Pink Friday 2 Tour dates have yet to be announced, but Nicki has previously revealed it should start somewhere in the first quarter of next year. In the meantime, we wait patiently for the arrival of Pink Friday 2 on Nov. 17th, marking her first album in five years.

Nicki Minaj Once Again Declines To Reveal Her Son’s Name

Earlier today, Nicki Minaj shared her newest magazine cover. She took to Instagram to show fans the result of her Vogue cover shoot where she’s sporting a gorgeous white dress. “Anna, thank you. I can’t really find the words to sum up all these emotions right now, but gratitude is number 1 on the list. Thank you for making one of my WILDEST dreams come true. A beautiful & surreal experience from start to finish,” she captioned the post.

But the cover shoot wasn’t all they did with Nicki. They also shot an episode of their iconic 73 Questions series with the legendary rapper. The video has already racked up over 200k views in just a few hours and sees Nicki answering questions on a variety of subjects. One of which is her son, known to the world as Papa Bear. She explains, or rather tries to explain why that is his nickname. “I’ve always been a nickname person. I give everyone I love these nicknames, normally. He actually had a couple nicknames. His first nickname while he was in my stomach was ‘Bubba.’ When he came out, it just transformed into ‘Papa Bear.’ I can’t explain it, but when I look at him that’s what I thought.” Ultimately, she once again declines to reveal her son’s name to the public. Check out the full video below.
