Pamputtae Eyes Joining Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 Tour

Dancehall artist Pamputtae expresses her ambition to join Nicki Minaj‘s highly anticipated Pink Friday 2 tour, set to commence in the United States on March 1.

In a recent Instagram Story, the “Ride It” deejay voiced her desire, lamenting her lack of a US work permit but expressing confidence in her ability to contribute to the tour. Minaj, acknowledging Pamputtae’s aspiration, responded with words of encouragement, hinting at potential future collaborations.

Minaj’s upcoming tour has already generated substantial buzz, with over 25 arenas selling out within days of presale, as reported by Live Nation Entertainment. R&B singer Monica is the sole announced supporting act for the American leg, drawing inspiration from Minaj’s early musical influences.

Pamputtae’s eagerness to join the tour was evident during Minaj’s recent Instagram Live session, where the dancehall artist caught Minaj’s attention in the comments. Prompted by Minaj’s invitation, Pamputtae hinted at her availability for the Canadian tour dates in April, leveraging her existing Canadian visa.

The connection between Pamputtae and Minaj dates back to 2021 when Minaj endorsed Pamputtae’s music on Instagram, catapulting the Jamaican artist into the international spotlight. Their collaboration on the Fine Nine Remix further solidified their bond, amplifying Pamputtae’s visibility and opening doors to new opportunities.

Pamputtae may have the chance to share the stage with Minaj during the Caribbean leg of the Pink Friday 2 tour, alongside fellow dancehall heavyweights Skeng, Skillibeng, and Beenie Man. Notably, Pamputtae’s new album features collaborations with these artists, including the acclaimed track “Forward From Trini” with Skillibeng and Skeng.

Minaj’s admiration for Caribbean talent is evident in her extensive collaborations with Jamaican artists such as Gyptian and Mavado, showcasing her commitment to bridging cultural boundaries and celebrating diverse musical influences.

As Pamputtae eagerly awaits the opportunity to join Minaj on tour, her journey underscores the power of collaboration and the boundless potential of dancehall music on the global stage.
