A fan of Nicki Minaj in Nigeria said she was overwhelmed when the rapper responded to her post on social media. Ramat Victory expressed disappointment that her country was not included on Minaj's 2024 tour. However, the star replied by urging her to sign up her city on the tour website, suggesting that it could influence where she performs. Minaj also used Pidgin language to say "Naija no de carry last," meaning "Nigeria never comes last." This interaction has now excited Nigerian fans, who are hopeful that their country will be included in Minaj's world tour. The artist initially released her pre-sale tickets online, which did not include any African countries, much to Ramat's dismay. However, Minaj's verified account on X (formerly known as Twitter) responded to her, encouraging her to sign up her city so that it could be added to the tour. Ramat described it as the best thing ever and was amazed that Minaj responded in Pidgin language. Pidgin is a blend of English and local languages spoken as a lingua franca in Nigeria. Following this exchange, Ramat asked all Nicki Minaj fans in Nigeria to sign up so that the tour would come to their country. Many fans eagerly expressed their willingness to attend, regardless of the circumstances. The absence of Africa from some artists' world tours has been a topic of discussion among music fans. For instance, Beyoncé's fans were disappointed that her tour did not include any African countries, despite African artists being featured on her album. Ramat believes that there is a significant market for artists in Africa and it is disheartening when superstars exclude the continent from their tours. The affordability of concert tickets has also been a topic of conversation worldwide, with rising prices being a barrier for many people. In the UK, ticket prices have increased by 19%, and 51% of respondents in a survey stated that high prices had prevented them from attending concerts in the past five years. In response to Ramat's conversation, a Minaj fan even humorously mentioned selling their father's house if it meant attending the rapper's concert. Fans eagerly await to see if this trend will influence Minaj's choice of tour locations. Ramat hopes that Minaj will come to Nigeria, a place where she is greatly loved and supported since day one.
