The ‘Pink Friday Reloaded Tour’, with special guest Tyga, will give Australian East Coast fans another chance to revel as the curvaceous Minaj prowls the stage, and extends to Perth and Auckland for the very first time.

Nicki Minaj, the Trinidadian-born American rapper, singer-songwriter, raised in Queens NYC, is a global sensation. Her worldwide album sales exceed three million; she has close to 20 million Facebook ‘Likes’ and an unbelievable 13 million plus Twitter followers. Minaj’s debut ‘Pink Friday’ was one of the most anticipated albums of 2010 and it did not disappoint. The now multi-platinum debut ‘Pink Friday’ boasts the most charted singles by any female rap album in Billboard history, while Minaj herself became the first artist to have seven singles on the Billboard Hot 100 chart simultaneously. Garnering a MTV Video Award, two American Music Awards and three Grammy Awards nominations, it was no surprise Billboard named Nicki Minaj their 2011 Rising Star. Nicki Minaj’s sophomore album, ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded’, released April this year, is home to the multiplatinum, airplay mega hit ‘Starships’, ‘Right by My Side’ featuring Chris Brown, ‘Beez In The Trap’ and latest smash hit ‘Pound The Alarm’.

Joining Nicki Minaj at all shows will be special guest TYGA. Hailing from infamous Compton, performances and mix-tapes built a buzz around Tyga. With the help of Gym Class Hero Travis McCoy, and following a performance on 2007’s MTV Video Music Awards alongside Fall Out Boy and Lil Wayne, Tyga soon released his debut album. 2008’s ‘No Introduction’ features single ‘Coconut Juice’ and Lil Wayne. VIBE magazine declared him as “one of the best undiscovered rappers in America”.

This February Tyga delivered his highly anticipated follow-up album, ‘Careless: Rise of The Last King’. The album, featuring tracks ‘Far Away’, ‘Rack City’, ‘Faded’ featuring Lil Wayne, ‘For The Fame’ featuring Chris Brown - and ‘Muthaf**ka Up’ featuring the one and only Nicki Minaj – peaked at #1 on Billboard’s R&B Album and Top Rap Album charts, and #4 in the Billboard 200. Nicki Minaj, and special guest Tyga, are set to lift the roof! Pound the alarm!

In-depth Biography
Influenced by the unpredictable rhymes of Missy Elliot along with the sexually charged attitudes of Lil' Kim and Foxy Brown, Jamaica, Queens, native Nicki Minaj was discovered thanks to her /MySpace page. It was there that Dirty Money Entertainment CEO Fendi first heard her ability to freestyle and first laid eyes on her steamy set of promo shots. With killer curves she was obviously proud to flaunt plus a background in the performing arts thanks to the Fiorello H. LaGuardia High School of Music and Art -- the school that had inspired the movie Fame -- Minaj was a perfect fit for Fendi's urban DVD magazine, The Come Up. She appeared in numerous volumes, including number 11, which spotlighted her future label boss, superstar rapper Lil Wayne. Through Fendi, Wayne contacted Minaj and signed her to his Young Money label. They began to build her career through mixtapes like Lil Wayne's Dedication 3 and Minaj's own Sucka Free. Meanwhile, appearances on various remixes -- everything from T.I.'s "No Matter What" to Jeffree Star's club track "Cupcakes Taste Like Violence" -- helped spread the word. The big breakthrough came when Wayne added his rhymes to her "High as a Kite" single, a mixtape favorite in 2008. ~ David Jeffries, Rovi
