Nicki Minaj’s ‘Pink Friday 2‘ tour also has officially become the most successful tour by a female rapper.

In its first 17 shows, the tour grossed an impressive $34.9 million from the sale of 220,000 tickets.

Touring Data tweeted:

“@NICKIMINAJ’s ‘Pink Friday 2’ officially becomes the most successful tour by a female rapper in history, with $34.9 million from 220,000 tickets sold in its first 17 shows.”

Recall that few months ago, Nicki Minaj reveals plan to tour Nigeria.

After a Nigerian fan expressed displeasure about Africa’s exclusion from Nicki Minaj’s recently revealed world tour locations, the singer said she would think about including Nigeria on the tour if enough fans expresses interest.

The fan using the X handle @RamatVictory shared screenshots of the tour stops on several countries and commented, “Once again, African barbz [Nick Minaj’s fans] bite dust.” Well, whatever.”

In response, Nicki Minaj’s verified X handle said, “Abeg, sign up where it says (if you don’t see your city) so that your city/country will be there when I get to Africa.”

The fan, overjoyed by Nicki’s reply, wrote beneath her message: “I won’t bother complaining again, okay? “Heya Naija guys, hurry up and sign up!”
