American rapper, Nicki Minaj also known as Queen of Rap, has broken the record for the highest grossing tour by a female rapper in history.

The US-based Trinidadian hip-hop artist also broke the record for the highest-grossing concert by a female rapper in history on March 30, 2024, at Madison Square Garden in New York, taking home $2.858 million, according to American statistic business Touring Data.

With 220,000 tickets sold over its first 17 gigs, her “Pink Friday 2” tour has officially become the most profitable tour by a female rapper, earning $34.9 million.

“@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.

Just 30% of the trip brought her $34.9 million. By the time the tour ends later this year, she should have made $100 million in revenue.

Remember that after a Nigerian fan objected to the continent of Africa being left out of the “Queen of Rap“‘s globe tour dates, the “Queen of Rap” stated she would think about adding Nigeria to her “Pinky Friday 2” tour if enough followers expressed interest.

Whether she will include Nigeria or any other African nation in the tour is still up in the air.
