“Sell out shows, we don’t sell our souls,” The Queen of Rap Nicki Minaj said in a tweet back in January.
Fast forward to March 20-21, Nicki Minaj touched down in Atlanta for her next stop on the Gag City World Tour. Minaj has also sold out eight shows so far on her critically acclaimed Pink Friday 2 World Tour.
For context, Minaj dropped her fifth studio album and sequel to her debut album Pink Friday, Pink Friday 2 back in December.
I have been anxious for weeks now and the time has finally come! The Barbz were outside in Atlanta showing off their pink outfits to celebrate the Queen of Rap.
Welcome to Gag City Atlanta!!!
They need rappers like Nicki Minaj! When Nicki said, “We’re going to Gag City”, I wasn’t aware she literally meant GAG CITY!
As a barb himself, this was my first-time seeing Nicki Minaj live on tour, so I had to go all out and purchase the VIP “Gag City Headquarters” Package. This included light refreshments like curry chicken samples and southwest egg rolls, two drink tickets for cocktails, Photo backdrop moments and opportunities, early access to merch, etc.
The lounge felt like a nice precursor before entering Gag City and it did not disappoint.
Once seated, I was sitting so close to the stage where I had an amazing view of Nicki and her dancers. Before Nicki came out on stage, the Barbz were rapping lyrics to her songs, bar for bar, while Nicki’s DJ, DJ Boof, was playing her classics to get the crowd hyped.
One minute we are all vibing and the next, the stage activates, and we are instantly transported into Gag City.
Opening with “I’m The Best”, instantly transported me back to the original Pink Friday days. There’s something so magical about seeing Nicki Minaj in her element and zone. It’s even better when you can feel the genuine love and respect the Barbs have for Nicki.
The setlist included classics like “I’m The Best”, “Feeling Myself”, “High School”, “Super Bass”, “Right Thru Me”, “Save Me”, “Here I Am”, “Starships”, “Roman’s Revenge”, “Monster”, and more. It also includes new and recent hits like “Barbie Dangerous”, “FTCU”, “Beep Beep”, “Press Play”, “Hard White”, “Win Again”, “We Go Up”, “Big Difference”, “Pink Birthday”, “Cowgirl”, “RNB”, “Fallin 4 U”, and more.
Some of my favorite songs played live at the show were Red Ruby Da Sleeze, Save Me, Press Play, Feeling Myself, Fallin 4 U, Starships, Hard White, FTCU, and Super Freaky Girl.
One of the most amazing moments of the show, to me, was hearing the entire State Farm Arena yelling to the top of their lungs, Nicki’s lyrics. Some were shedding tears of joy; others were dancing their tails off and having so much fun with their friends. The bond between Nicki and the Barbz are immaculate, you can tell the love between the two is genuine.
Once Nicki finished her first set, Monica came out looking beautiful as ever. She really showed Atlanta a great time and even was a little emotional from all the love she received.
Monica’s set list included “U Should’ve Known Better“, “So Gone“, “Before You Walk Out of My Life“, “I Keep It to Myself“, “Angel of Mine“, “Why I Love You So Much“, and “Don’t Take It Personal (Just One of Dem Days)“.
Another one of my favorite moments of the show was when towards the end when Nicki gave all of us some inspiring affirmations to chase after our dreams and never stop until we reach them. It was a truly beautiful experience.
I have made some lifelong friends who all share the same love for Nicki. All in all, I am still on cloud nine because I was able to be a part of something great and that is the Pink Friday 2 World Tour.
Side note, seeing Nicki up close really hit home for me because she is so pretty and beautiful in real life.
I encourage all Barbz (even if you aren’t a barb) to go see this tour because it’s worth it. I thoroughly enjoyed myself and this felt like a dream come true.
A Moment 4 Life, if you will. Much love to Nicki, her team, dancers, and the rest of her tour, I can’t wait to see more!
