The Pink Friday 2 World Tour was announced by rapper Nicki Minaj on November 17 of last year and kicked off in Oakland, CA, on March 1. The “Queen of Rap” will perform 57 shows across the U.S., Canada, and Europe. The tour includes stops at festivals such as Rolling Loud California and the Dreamville Festival in Raleigh, NC.
After pushing back the release date twice, Minaj finally released her album “Pink Friday 2” on December 8, 2023. The 22-track album features some of the biggest names in rap, including Drake, Lil Wayne, and Future. Before this release, she had not dropped a full-length project since 2018, when she released her fourth studio album titled “Queen.”
The album includes creative samples such as Cyndi Lauper’s “Girls Just Want to Have Fun” and “FTCU” by Waka Flocka Flame. These choices help create a fun, upbeat sound that fits Minaj’s signature “Pink Friday” vibe. Artists often follow an album release with a tour, and the Barbz, also known as Nicki’s fan base, have highly anticipated this one. Her last major tour featured a year-long worldwide run supporting her 2014 album “The Pinkprint.”
