After weeks of teasing out details about her 2024 run, Nicki Minaj has finally announced the dates for her highly anticipated ‘Pink Friday 2 World Tour.’
The Hip-Hop star will debut her recently released, critically acclaimed “Pink Friday 2” album — the follow up to her 2010 debut which will likely debut at number one on the Billboard top 200 chart — at arenas all over North America from February through May.
That includes huge shows at Newark, NJ’s Prudential Center on March 28, New York’s Madison Square Garden on March 30 and Brooklyn’s Barclays Center on April 4.
She’s also set to headline at a 2023 Jingle Ball concert as well as major festivals Rolling Loud and Dreamville this spring.

Nicki Minaj new music
On Friday, Dec. 8, Minaj dropped her fifth studio album “Pink Friday 2.”
Minaj’s sequel to her 2010 debut finds the explicit rap icon delivering her trademark clever rhymes with ease along with big name features on the record including Lil Wayne, J. Cole, Drake, Lil Uzi Vert, Future and more.
Critics are going gaga for the 22-track album, too.
“The biggest, brashest queen of rap shows she still has the throne,” gushed The Standard.
For our money, we suggest checking out her atmospheric, clubby “Needle,” the chill “Last Time I Saw You” and “Everybody” which cleverly speeds up a sample of Junior Senior’s banger “Move Your Feet.”
Our favorites have to be the soon-to-be anthem “Pink Friday Girls” which lifts from Cyndi Lauper’s iconic “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” and the blissed out album finale “Just The Memories,” though.
