Queen of Rap, Nicki Minaj, just dropped a royal bombshell that has the Barbz screaming in pink-tinted euphoria! On Friday, August 16, in an event that can only be described as a national holiday for Minaj superfans, Nicki took to X (formerly known as Twitter, but we all know it’s really just her kingdom now) to unveil the second North American leg of her epic ‘Pink Friday 2 World Tour.’
Now, let’s get to the juicy part: her royal highness won’t be rolling solo on this tour. Nope! She’s bringing along three of her court favorites to warm up the stage: Tyga, BIA, and Skillibeng. Yes, you heard that right! The Barbz are about to be served a triple scoop of musical goodness with extra sprinkles on top.
In true Nicki fashion, she didn’t just drop this news casually—she served it with a side of mystery and a dash of “maybe new music?” because why not keep everyone on the edge of their seats? “New looks, set list changes, other secrets, ummmm new music? Lemme think about it,” she teased, probably while twirling a diamond-encrusted crown. “Thank you to the team doing this with me again. They’re simply the best. To the guest artists who will come out in their cities, thank you in advance; and to these 3 TALENTS (who I have so much love & respect for) for taking the G6 to #GAGCITY just for the Barbz & me. @tyga @bia @skillibeng. THANK YOU!!!!!!!!,” she announced to her 228 million loyal subjects, I mean, Instagram followers.
Let’s not forget, this tour isn’t just any tour—it’s a record-breaking, history-making, wig-snatching extravaganza! With the first North American leg already securing a cool $67 million and 439,000 tickets sold, Nicki’s not just breaking records; she’s setting them on fire and serving them as the main course at a platinum dinner party. “Barbz, we’ve already made history prior to LEG 2. TOP 10 in HIPHOP TOURS OF ALL TIME already. To everyone who came out on the first leg to support: GOD BLESS YOU. I LOVE YOU. I DO. Come back,” she gushed, because even a queen knows how to appreciate her kingdom.
So, if you’re ready to be transported to #GAGCITY, start marking your calendars now! The next leg kicks off in Philadelphia on September 4 and will be sweeping through cities like Dallas, Los Angeles, San Diego, Miami, and more before wrapping up with a final royal flourish at Long Island’s UBS Arena on October 11.
Get your tickets, grab your glitter, and prepare to bow down, because Nicki Minaj is coming to reign supreme once again!
