Nicki Minaj Drops Hiatus Bombshell After Wrapping Pink Friday 2 Tour – Quickly Reconsiders 

Nicki Minaj may be taking a hiatus after wrapping the North America leg of her record-breaking Pink Friday 2 World Tour. 


After kicking off the tour in March, Minaj closed out with a star-studded final concert at the UBS Arena on Friday (October 11), with appearances from 50 Cent, Sexyy Red, Young M.A, Skillibeng and more at “Gag City Queens.”   

After traveling across the country and performing all over Europe, Nicki Minaj has been hinting at a “hiatus” once the tour ends. However, it appears she is still undecided about taking a break. 

On Sunday (October 13), Nicki Minaj was on Stationhead chopping it up with her fans when she announced she would be taking a breather after a few more engagements.  

I am doing a hiatus,” she confirmed. “But I have the Vogue thing, which I’m very proud and honored to do, and a couple things and then I’ll be taking a little moment to reflect.”
