The trek will kick off in September in Philadelphia and hit major cities across the United States including Washington, DC, Miami, Dallas, Los Angeles and more before wrapping up in her hometown of Queens in October.
The prior leg didn’t have an official LA stop as the New York native’s performance at Rolling Loud served as her SoCal date, so she’s making up for it this round with back-to-back nights in the City of Angels.

Nicki Minaj is currently overseas on the European branch of the tour, but she ran into a major hiccup over the weekend when she was forced to cancel her Manchester show following an arrest in Amsterdam.
Speaking to fans about the situation on the livestream platform Stationhead, the Young Money rapper slammed the “disgusting” treatment she experienced during the arrest and suggested race played a part in the incident.
“Not being able to get to Manchester, I don’t know when was the last time I felt that low,” she said.
“Not only that, but knowing that something is being done to you on purpose simply because you are a confident other race […] There was one lady there — all the rest were men — and I could tell she had a heart. The treatment was just disgusting and I wouldn’t wish that on anyone.”

When asked by a stream viewer if Dutch officials treated her like a “human,” she answered: “No. When they put out that press release that I was released; I was still in the building. They were doing maybe damage control, I don’t know.”
Nicki Minaj was detained in the Dutch capital last week on suspicion of “possessing soft drugs” while traveling to Manchester for her next concert.

She livestreamed the arrest on social media, with the footage showing a member of the Royal Netherlands Marechaussee telling her she was under arrest for “carrying drugs.”
She was later released but will have to pay a fine that will be determined by the public prosecution service.

The arrest meant the rapper’s concert in Manchester was canceled at the last minute after fans had already made their way into the venue.
She has since announced that the show has been rescheduled to June 3.
