Aside from collecting custom pieces, Minaj has been largely focused on preparing to take the stage as a tour headliner for the first time since her 2016 ‘The Pinkprint Tour.’

In February, she shared snippets of herself at rehearsals and even a sneak peek at the Gag City stage set-up and songs that might make the tour cut.

Nicki Minaj has also been adding dates to the highly-anticipated tour, both in the U.S. and abroad. She shared the most updated list of cities she’ll be touring in on X on Feb. 29. So far, she has 56 shows on the tour, with multi-shows in some cities and a note of “more dates to be added.”

Which Entertainers Are Joining Nicki Minaj In Gag City?

And Nicki won’t be reigning in Gag City alone! The ‘Pink Friday 2’ artist has invited other entertainers to join her on stage.

One confirmed artist on the tour is Monica. The R&B singer revealed she’ll join Nicki during an early February appearance on ‘The Jennifer Hudson Show.’

On Feb. 8, Minaj took to Instagram to thank Monica for accompanying her during the US dates of her tour. She also hinted that the ‘Angel of Mine’ singer is just “one of the incredible” artists doing so.

“I’ve said many times, this woman has been one of my biggest inspirations since I was in Junior H.S. The iconic, trendsetting, Miss Thang herself- hits on hits on hits.”

It’s unclear whether Monica is joining Nicki tonight in Oakland.

Towards the end of February, Minaj shared a special request for Katt Williams, inviting him to the Gag City stage!

“Now, I know that this is the busiest man in show business, okay? I know that he’s rich, and I know that he’s the funniest man in show biz,” she explained. “Can y’all hit up Katt Williams and ask him what would be his price to be a part of the ‘Pink Friday 2/Gag City’ tour?”

But it’s unclear if she was kidding around or if she actually wanted the comedian to accept the invitation.

Other collaborators on Nicki’s latest album include J. Cole, Lil Uzi Vert, 50 Cent, Keyshia Cole, Drake, Future, Lil Wayne, Tate Kobang, Lourdiz, Skillibeng, Skeng, and Tasha Cobbs. Again, though, it hasn’t been revealed whether any of them will slide by to entertain the Barbz on tour!

The album features 22 tracks, but fans have been begging Nicki all month to dip into her past discography for the tour.

Only time will tell whether Minaj has considered their recommendations or if she will stick to her newest joints!

The show begins at 8 p.m. local time TONIGHT!

Roommates, will you be there?
