Nicki Minaj, fresh off her record-breaking Pink Friday 2 World Tour, recently opened up about her choice to prioritize live performances over traditional music videos for her latest album. Addressing fans’ questions about the lack of visuals for her new tracks, Minaj made it clear that her focus was on creating an immersive live experience.
“You got a multi-million-dollar set on tour instead,” Nicki said, referring to the elaborate, visually stunning shows she put on over the past months. “That was the video. You came to Gag City? Record the performance.”

The 41-year-old rapper wrapped up her Pink Friday 2 World Tour on October 11 at the UBS Arena in Elmont, after an impressive run of 79 shows across North America and Europe. The tour has cemented its place in history as the highest-grossing tour by a female rapper. It supported Minaj’s fifth studio album, Pink Friday 2, which was released nearly a year ago and topped multiple charts, including the Billboard 200 and the UK Albums Chart.
Before the album’s release, Minaj’s fans spearheaded a creative online campaign, launching an AI-generated world called “Gag City.” The concept, inspired by a term Minaj herself had coined and acknowledged on social media, added to the buzz and excitement around the project, showing just how deeply her fanbase engages with her vision.
