Nicki Minaj has achieved a groundbreaking feat in the music industry, breaking the record for the highest-grossing tour by a female rapper ever.
The success of Minaj’s tour is undeniable, as she has sold over 220,000 tickets in her first 17 shows alone.
Touring Data celebrated this milestone by tweeting, “@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.”
Moreover, the financial success of the tour is expected to skyrocket even further. Despite earning $34.9 million from just 30 percent of the tour, Minaj is projected to gross an astonishing $100 million by the tour’s end later this year.
Minaj had previously expressed her willingness to include Nigeria as a tour stop if there was enough fan interest. This came in response to a Nigerian fan expressing disappointment in the exclusion of Africa from Minaj’s world tour venues.
