According to reports shared by Touring Data, Nicki Minaj is now headlining the highest-grossing tour by a female rapper in music history.
Within her 17 sold-out performances, Nicki Minaj has already grossed $34.9 million, a testament to her impact as the highest-grossing female rapper of all time and her ability to fill arenas and stadiums almost 15 years into her career.
The "Red Ruby Da Sleaze" rapper also earned the highest-grossing concert by a female rapper in history after selling out her Madison Square Garden concert in New York on Mar. 30, 2024, with $2.858 million on one night.
However, her combined gross ticket sales at State Farm Arena in Atlanta were her highest-grossing show yet, with $3.586 million for two shows, which saw more than 22,000 tickets sold.

Minaj's impressive records further solidify her place in the rap scene, not just on the female rap lane.
"Minaj's place in hip-hop is [solidified]. The female MCs they're having a run like they've never had before, and to me, in my opinion, I would say Nicki re-opened that door," Ja Rule said in 2023 about Minaj's longevity.
