The opening artists for Nicki Minaj’s upcoming second leg of her Pink Friday 2 World Tour have been officially revealed.
On Friday, August 16, the Head Barb announced on Instagram that she would be traveling with fellow Young Money alum Tyga, as well as dancehall musician Skillibeng and BIA.
To put it simply, you won’t want to miss it. I’m an honest pink person, as you all know,” she wrote. “#GagCityReloaded is going to be an exquisite, fantastical realization. Better than the first part, even though it wasn’t simple. Changes to the set list, fresh looks, additional mysteries, and new music? Let me consider it. I appreciate the staff working with me once more on this. They are just the greatest.
“Thank you in advance to the guest artists who will perform in your towns. Also, I would like to express my love and appreciation to these three talented people for bringing the G6 to #GAGCITY just for the Barbz and myself. @bia @skillibeng @tyga. MANY THANKS!!!!!
“Barbz, we’ve already made history before LEG 2. 🎀 TOP 10 in HIPHOP TOURS OF ALL TIME already,” she said in closing. God bless each and every one of you that supported during the first leg. I cherish you. Yes, I DO. Return soon.

The journey will begin in Philadelphia in September and stop in a number of big American cities, including Washington, DC, Miami, Dallas, Los Angeles, and more, before coming to an end in October in her birthplace of Queens.
The New York native’s performance at Rolling Loud functioned as her SoCal date, so the last leg didn’t have an official LA stop. This round, she’s making up for it by spending two nights in the City of Angels.
Though she was forced to postpone her performance in Romania last month due to safety concerns around protests scheduled to take place in the city the following day, Nicki Minaj has just completed the first part of her tour.
She posted on X (previously Twitter) on Sunday night, saying, “Due to safety concerns regarding protests in the area, I have been advised by my security detail not to travel to Romania’s festival tonight out of concern for the well-being of our team and myself.” “I’m excited to meet everyone again later.
In order for my son and my team to return home to their families, it is my responsibility as a mother to make wise decisions. It’s just not what I think I should be doing at this moment to disregard security’s counsel. I appreciate your compassion and support, and I adore you.
“I can’t wait to see my fans this Friday in London for another incredible headline show at Wireless Festival,” she continued.
Nicki Minaj did not name the protests she was referring to, but according to Crisis24, “civil society groups plan to march in Bucharest” on Monday in opposition to the budgetary policies of the Romanian government.
