If you’re just about to hang your pink wig up for the winter, stop right there and go grab your hairspray. Nicki Minaj got
busy on Twitter yesterday, tweeting that she’ll be heading back Down Under for a few more shows at the beginning of October.
Yet to be officially confirmed,
Minaj’s tweet announced gigs in all capital cities. Apparently we can expect to see her perform in Adelaide on October 1, Brisbane on October 3, Sydney on October 5, Melbourne on October 6 and Perth on October 9.
With Minaj bringing her Pink Friday tour to Australia
as recently as last May, we can’t help but wonder what has her back on our shores so quickly. Is she trying to break her less-than-5-minute sell-out record from the last time round? Or perhaps there just weren’t enough boobs signed?
Whichever it is, we’re happy to have Her Minajesty and her papal robes back.
