Nicki Minaj Makes History with Record-Breaking Tour
Nicki Minaj has shattered records and made history with her latest tour, ‘Pink Friday 2’. The Trinidadian hip-hop star has officially become the highest-grossing female rapper in history, according to American statistic company Touring Data.
On March 30, 2024, Nicki Minaj made headlines with her performance at Madison Square Garden in New York, where she raked in an impressive $2.858 million, setting a new record for the highest-grossing concert by a female rapper.
The success of ‘Pink Friday 2’ has propelled Nicki Minaj to new heights, with the tour grossing a staggering $34.9 million from 220,000 tickets sold in just the first 17 shows. Touring Data took to Twitter to announce, “@NICKIMINAJ’s ‘Pink Friday 2’ officially becomes the most successful tour by a female rapper in history.”
What’s even more impressive is that Nicki Minaj achieved this milestone with only 30 percent of the tour completed. It is projected that she will reach a remarkable $100 million by the end of the tour later this year.
Fans around the world have been eagerly following Nicki Minaj’s tour, with one Nigerian fan expressing disappointment at the exclusion of Africa from the tour venues. In response, the “Queen of Rap” hinted at the possibility of including Nigeria in her tour if there is enough interest from fans.
As the tour continues to captivate audiences globally, all eyes are on Nicki Minaj to see if she will indeed make history once again by adding Nigeria or any other African country to her list of tour destinations. Stay tuned for more updates on this groundbreaking tour.
