American rapper and songwriter Nicki Minaj is gearing up for the second leg of her ‘Pink Friday 2’ North American tour slated for September.
The rapper announced the tour to her Barbz fans through a statement on social media on August 16th. According to her, she has got plenty of surprises when it comes to set changes, different wardrobe choices and possibly new music to perform.
Nicki’s Young Money colleague Tyga, BIA, and Caribbean Reggae and dancehall superstar Skillibeng will be coming with her as opening artists of the tour.
“Let’s just say you won’t wanna miss it,” she began. “Y’all know I’m an honest pink lady. #GagCityReloaded will be a beautiful, magical dream come true. Better than the 1st half & that wasn’t easy to do.”
Nicki continued: “New looks, set list changes, other secrets, ummmm new music? Lemme think about it. Thank you to the team for 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!!!!!!!!”
The rapper has already made an unprecedented history with ‘Pink Friday 2’ as it is the highest-grossing rap tour of all time by a woman. It’s all in the top ten highest-grossing tours of all time. According to sums reported to Billboard Boxscore, the Pink Friday 2 World Tour grossed $67 million and sold 439,000 tickets for the first North American leg.
Nicki Minaj concluded: “Barbz, we’ve already made history before 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. Love always, Harajuku Barbie”
The forthcoming and much-anticipated tour is scheduled to kickstart in Philadelphia on the 4th of September 2024. She will play major shows at NYC’s Madison Square Garden, Cleveland, Dallas, Los Angeles, San Diego, Kansas City, Jacksonville, and Miami before wrapping up with a hometown show on Oct. 11 at Long Island’s UBS Arena, which borders Queens.
