Trinidadian-born rapper Nicki Minaj has embarked on three concert tours, all of which have been worldwide. Her 2012 debut,[1] Pink Friday Tour, which was worldwide and supported her first and second studio album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, received favorable reviews from music critics.[2][3] The Pink Friday Tour was extended with the Reloaded Tour.[4] During the Pink Friday: Reloaded Tour, Minaj visited Europe, Oceania, and Asia. Following the release of her 2014 third studio album The Pinkprint, Minaj embarked on her next world concert venture, The Pinkprint Tour, to promote the album.[5]

In 2012, Minaj was a guest on the Super Bowl XLVI halftime show, performing alongside headliner Madonna and M.I.A. their song Give Me All Your Luvin'.[6][7][8] Minaj's European leg of her tour with Juice Wrld titled The Nicki Wrld Tour started in February 2019[9][10] in support of her fourth studio album, Queen.[11][12]

The Pink Friday Tour was Minaj's debut concert tour. Its set list mainly drew from her second studio album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (2012) and debut studio album, Pink Friday (2010)[13]

The tour began in May 2012 with shows in Australia and Asia, then continued on to Europe and North America in June, July, and August 2012. It came to a close on August 14, 2012 in New York City at the Roseland Ballroom.[14] Alexis Petridis of The Guardian, who attended the show HMV Hammersmith Apollo in London, rated the tour with 3 out of 5 stars, saying, "It seems a strange thing to say about a performance that opens with a woman rapping 'I'm a bad bitch, I'm a cunt', but there's something oddly restrained about Nicki Minaj's live show.[15] The final show was a part of a free Pepsi promotional concert. Attendees were only eligible for tickets if they called radio stations Hot 97, Power 105, Z-100, 92.3 Now, and WBLI, or tweeted Minaj or Pepsi on Twitter.[16]
