Nicki Minaj has revealed that she won’t be performing more shows in London despite having sold-out current Pink Friday 2 Tour dates, choosing instead to perform at the Wireless Festival.
The Wireless Festival’s official account on X, formerly known as Twitter, made the revelation on Saturday (February 24), where they reposted what Minaj had written on her Instagram stories a few nights before.

“Instead of doing another arena show in London after we sold out in the first week, I opted to do Wireless Festival,” they wrote. “This year’s show will be a billion times more special, creative, beautiful, cohesive, ugh! I’m so excited. I’d like to tell you guys thank you in advance. Last year was so meaningful but won’t compare. Just wait & see.”

Nicki Minaj‘s Pink Friday 2 Tour is already making a splash as it has reportedly become the rapper’s best-selling trek yet.
Taking to her Instagram Stories on Wednesday (February 21), the Young Money hitmaker shared a screenshot of a Live Nation press release that read: “Nicki Minaj Presents Pink Friday 2 World Tour is now her best-selling tour to date with more than 25 sold-out arena shows in just days of presale.”

It continues: “Minaj sold 30,000 tickets in her home state alone with shows in Newark, New York City and Brooklyn, where an extra show is being added.”
Underneath the screenshot, an exuberant Nicki wrote: “This happened within days of presale. Now we are 10 days away. So grateful. SOOOOO grateful & honored to have you in #GagCITY.”

The North American leg of the Pink Friday 2 Tour is set to kick off on March 1 in Oakland and run through cities including Los Angeles, New Orleans, Atlanta, Philadelphia, Toronto, Chicago, and, of course, Nicki’s native New York City.
It wraps up on May 13 in Oklahoma City before the European leg begins just 10 days later in Amsterdam. From there, Nicki will play shows in the UK, France, Germany, Portugal, Italy, and other countries until July 12.
The “FTCU” rapper will be joined on the North American leg by Monica, who appears on the deluxe edition of her Pink Friday 2 album.
The R&B singer announced the news during an appearance on The Jennifer Hudson Show in December, saying: “I’m really grateful for Nicki because she’s one of those people that has always said, ‘Monica meant everything to my childhood.

“Some people act like they forget and it’s pretty cool to not be forgotten and to be called for things like such, so we’re going to show up and show out.”
Shortly after, Nicki praised Monica in an Instagram post: “I’ve said many times, this woman has been one of my biggest inspirations since I was in Junior H.S. [pink bow emoji] The iconic, trendsetting, Miss Thang herself- hits on hits on hits.”
