Nicki Minaj finds it quite "dumb" that people think she's broke, and the allegations that the "Pink Friday" soldout shows are all make-believe.
Rapper Broke, "PInk Friday" Tour a Massive Fail?
For her, these are just bare allegations designed to bring her down, but the exact opposite is true - she's raking in the money.
"Imagine being this dumb. They SOOOOOO mad that they had to eat ALL their words about this tour. They tried EVERYTHING to prevent this magic & even blatantly lied everywhere hoping it would deter ppl from coming. If y'all only knew. Bwahahahahahaaa," Minaj wrote on X.
The rapper was answering revived rumors that she was only doing her "Pink Friday 2" tour to pay off her debts and that it wasn't profitable, when she made the mocking tweet.
She could be telling the truth, though.
According to Hot New Hip Hop, not only social media trolls but also someone as prominently known in the online world as DJ Akademiks are making these allegations. However, Nicki Minaj has the last laugh on this matter.
When the controversial social media entrepreneur found out the rapper's "Pink Friday 2" tour was said to be sold out, DJ Akademiks' tried his hardest to "prove" that the rumors about her tour sales were untrue. Nevertheless, despite his best efforts, he could not attend any of her tour dates where more than a few tickets remained. Minaj plays a gig in Seattle tonight, March 10, to wrap off her tour.
Moreover, though Minaj has only performed three performances on her tour, the Barbz requested a "cinematic experience" similar to what Beyonce and Taylor Swift created the previous year.

In addition, Minaj is thrilled to be performing as the headliner of Wireless Fest in London as part of the tour. Minaj has been a consistent presence at Wireless for more than ten years.
Nicki Minaj Net Worth 2024
As of 2023, Celebrity Net Worth reported Nicki Minaj's net worth to be at $150 million. For 2024, this can only go higher, considering her projects.
Even though her music is undoubtedly her primary source of revenue, Minaj also makes a sizable amount of money via endorsements and product lines.
She has been the voice and face of Myx Moscato since "Starships" became popular. During her career, she has also signed deals with Beats By Dre, Activision, Adidas, Pepsi, and other companies.
Furthermore, Minaj kept her 360 rights when she signed with Young Money, meaning she would own the rights to merchandise, publishing, sponsorships, tours, and other revenue streams rather than the label.
This is a significant benefit for any artist who is smart enough to command it. In the summer of 2023, Minaj made history as the first female operator in "Call of Duty: Modern Warfare II."
Although the precise amount of her salary is unknown, Cardi B, Nicki Minaj's most staunch rival, said she was the first to be offered the deal, but she refused it and lost millions because of it.
