Nicki Minaj addresses a Nigerian fan‘s concerns regarding tour venues.
A Nigerian fan of Nicki Minaj expressed being overwhelmed after the star responded to her post on X (formerly Twitter). Ramat Victory had conveyed her disappointment about Nigeria not being part of the rapper’s 2024 tour.
In response, Minaj encouraged her to sign her city up on the tour website, suggesting it could impact the tour locations. Using Pidgin language, Minaj stated, “Naija no de carry last,” translating to “Nigeria never comes last.
” This interaction has sparked excitement among Nigerian fans, hoping for their country to be included in Minaj’s world tour.
The rapper initially released pre-sale tickets on November 17, and Ramat’s dismay prompted the response, urging fans to sign up if their city wasn’t listed.
“It was an incredible experience; I cannot put it into words. My excitement soared, and I never anticipated it. I spoke to her in Pidgin to test her response, and she replied in Pidgin. I was amazed.”
Pidgin is a blend of English and local languages commonly used as a lingua franca in Nigeria.
Following this interaction, Ramat urged all Nicki Minaj fans in Nigeria to sign up for the tour. One enthusiastic fan expressed their dedication, stating, “I don’t care if it’s my wedding or honeymoon… just give us a date! I will be there.”
This discussion arises amid a broader conversation among music fans questioning why Africa is often excluded from world tours by some artists.
In April, Beyoncé fans voiced disappointment over the absence of African countries in the star’s tour, despite African artists featuring on her album “The Lion King: The Gift.
” Ramat emphasized the significant potential market for artists in Africa, expressing sadness when superstars undertake world tours without including the continent.
“After this, Ramat posted a request for all Nicki Minaj fans in the country to sign up, expressing the desire to bring the tour to Nigeria.
One individual exclaimed, ‘I don’t care if it’s my wedding or honeymoon… just give us a date! I will be there.’
