As expected, Nicki Minaj will be heading out on tour in support of her new album, Pink Friday 2. Today (Dec. 11), the Young Money talent shared the dates for a run that will kick off in March 2024 and land in North America and Europe. Tickets will go on sale this Friday (Dec. 15).
Pink Friday 2 made landfall last Friday (Dec. 8) with 22 songs and additional features from J. Cole, Drake, Lil Wayne, Lil Uzi Vert, Skillibeng, and more. According to Hits Daily Double, Minaj’s fifth studio LP is expected to generate between 170,000 to 190,000 album-equivalent units during its first week of release.
“There’s a freeness that you have around you when you’re at your best, when you’re doing your thing at your peak. There’s like this lightness in the air. You’re happy even if you’re writing a sad song. But once you start knowing that you’re being judged, there’s no longer that free spirit,” she told Vogue about being protective over her art. “People who excel at something make it look easy, but they also deal with a lot of fear of letting people down and of letting themselves down. Once you make it, it’s like anything you say can be used against you. It’s like when you get arrested — that’s literally what being famous feels like. You go from having this fun, curious nature, laughing and joking, to realizing not everyone gets your sense of humor, not everyone likes you. And they will figure out how to put a negative spin on anything you do. It hurts.”
