Skillibeng will also provide support on the second North American leg kicking off in September.
Gag City, it’s time reload. Nicki Minaj is preparing to paint the world another coat of pink as she gears up to head out on a second North American leg of the Pink Friday 2 World Tour in September.
Nicki took to social media on Friday (Aug. 16) to inform the Barbz that while the bar for greatness will remain the same on the second trek, she’s got plenty of surprises in store when it comes to set changes, different wardrobe choices and possibly even new music to perform.
Minaj has also recruited her Young Money brother Tyga as well as “Whole Lotta Money” collaborator BIA and Skillibeng as tour openers.
“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 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 Pink Friday 2 World Tour has already made history with Minaj holding the title of the highest grossing rap tour ever by a woman. It’s also in the top 10 for highest grossing rap 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.
Minaj concluded: “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. Love always, Harajuku Barbie
The Pink Friday 2 World Tour will start up leg two in Philadelphia on Sept. 4. There are also shows on deck for NYC’s Madison Square Garden, Cleveland, Dallas, Los Angeles, San Diego, Kansas City, Jacksonville, Miami and wrapping up with a hometown show on Oct. 11 at Long Island’s UBS Arena, which borders Queens.
