Setting a new milestone, Nicki Minaj has achieved the record for the highest-grossing tour by a female rapper in history.
The Trinidadian hip-hop sensation shattered the previous
record for the highest-grossing concert by a female rapper, raking in $2.858
million at Madison Square Garden in New York on March 30, 2024, according to
Touring Data, an American statistical company.
Her ‘Pink Friday 2’ tour has officially become the most
successful tour by a female rapper, grossing $34.9 million from 220,000 tickets
sold in its first 17 shows.
“@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,” Touring Data tweeted.
She earned $34.9 million from just 30 percent of the tour.
She is expected to gross $100 million at the end of the tour later this year.
Recall that the “Queen of Rap” said she would consider
including Nigeria on her ‘Pinky Friday 2’ tour if enough fans showed interest
after a Nigerian fan frowned at the exclusion of Africa from her world tour
venues.
It remains to be seen if she would include Nigeria or any
other African country in the tour.
