Nicki Minaj’s ‘Pink Friday 2 Tour’ Cities Announcement Triggers Website Crash Amid High Demand

Nicki Minaj is making a triumphant return to the stage to promote her highly-anticipated album, Pink Friday 2, and her legion of devoted Barbz couldn’t contain their excitement, causing the tour website to crash.

The 40-year-old “Barbie World” rap sensation thrilled fans by unveiling the initial list of cities she’ll be gracing with her presence on the Pink Friday 2 Tour, which she revealed on Friday, November 17.

Minaj’s loyal fan base, known as the Barbz, wasted no time in sharing the news far and wide, causing the hashtag #PinkFriday2Tour to trend on X (formerly Twitter).

In a post on X, Nicki urged her fans to sign up for the tour, even if their city wasn’t on the list. She explained, “In fact, by signing up tomorrow, you help to have your city added to the OFFICIAL routing if it’s not currently a city on our list. So tomorrow, if your city isn’t included, just sign up along with others you know from that city who’d attend as well.”

She emphasized that only “approximate dates” have been unveiled for now, but fans can sign up for “access to presale tickets.” Although tickets are not yet available, registering will help determine if additional dates and stops are needed.
