Nicki Minaj is the only female rapper in history to beam onstage throughout a consecutive 16 sold-out show streak.
Nicki Minaj has been rousing thrills and chills among the audience of the North American leg of her Pink Friday 2 World Tour since March 1. The Trinidadian-born Queen of Rap had indeed held onto her glorious title firmly. Her highest-grossing spell has translated into her ongoing concert series that keeps serving the best of her career-spanning smash hits, with all sides of her quirky persona shining bright on stage.
Since the first day of March, Minaj has treated her fans – Barbz – to a glimmering showcase all through Oakland, Denver, Las Vegas, Seattle, Phoenix, New Orleans, Atlanta, Orlando, Nashville, Philadelphia, and other US stops. Her most recent performances set the stage ablaze at Madison Square Garden in New York City on March 30 and Capital One Arena in Washington D.C. on April 1, marking her 16th tour outing so far. The mind-boggling musical affair has been a sold-out one all through the month, with each show being a trailblazing achievement.
From her glittering performances being blessed by another reigning Queen of music – Queen Bey, to her onstage antics and plays, involving the fans, inducing sparkling hilarity, Nicki’s invincible force is ruling Barbz’s world. Her bespoke Barbie-core stage outfits, some even being vintage Versace and Chanel pieces, are one of the most twinkling highlights of the tour that fans can’t stop raving about.
Her March 28 Prudential Center concert in Newark reportedly clocked in as the highest-grossing concert by a female rapper. Seemingly selling out over 12,000 tickets, it reeled in a revenue of more than $2 million. Presumably, the Madison Square Garden numbers estimation will churn out even bigger digits.
