Nicki Minaj is continuing to break records and delight her fans as she announces the second leg of her Pink Friday 2 World Tour. After a successful European leg, the rapper shared the exciting news on social media on Friday (May 24), revealing she will be returning to the United States in September for another run of shows.
“We did it, Barbz,” Nicki wrote, celebrating the success of the first leg of the tour. “The first US leg of the #PinkFriday2 #GAGCITY TOUR was SO SUCCESSFUL, I was offered a 2nd leg beginning in SEPTEMBER [celebratory emojis]. Sign up now & tickets will go on sale in a few more days.” Her enthusiasm was palpable as she continued, “Wow. Wow. Wow. Wow. God is good. Don’t you ever give up. You got this. 😉 let’s go!!!!!!! #NickiAnnouncement.”
Though specific dates and venues are yet to be revealed, Minaj encouraged fans to sign up for the pre-sale to get an early look at the cities she will be visiting.
Tour Success & Special Guest Appearance
The announcement comes after an incredibly successful first U.S. leg of the Pink Friday 2 Tour, which kicked off in November. The international leg of the tour has also been a major success, and Nicki Minaj is ensuring that the U.S. Barbz will not be left behind.
Additionally, Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty, who is currently on probation, received special permission to accompany her on the international leg of the tour. According to court documents, Petty’s request to travel out of the country for “various purposes, including childcare,” was approved by the courts, with no opposition from his probation officer.
Controversy Surrounds Kenneth Petty’s Past
Kenneth Petty’s travel permission has garnered attention due to his criminal past. Petty’s updated photo surfaced online through California’s Megan’s Law registry, which is part of a federal mandate requiring authorities to publicly release information on registered sex offenders. His conviction for attempted rape by force or fear dates back to 1995, when he was sentenced to four years in prison. Despite his past, Petty’s legal team was able to secure his approval for international travel during the tour.
As Nicki Minaj continues to make waves on her Pink Friday 2 World Tour, fans are eagerly awaiting the second leg of the tour in the U.S.. With exciting performances and some controversy lingering in the background, the tour promises to be a memorable chapter in Nicki’s already legendary career. Barbz, get ready—it’s going to be a wild ride!
