Rapper Nicki Minaj has announced that she will join the America’s Most Wanted Music Festival, which features superstar rappers Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy, Drake and Soulja Boy.
The female emcee will hit the road with her male counterparts to promote her latest mixtape, Beam Me Up Scotty.
“It’s been hectic for the last couple of months, with me promoting my mixtape and being back in the studio, but I’m definitely excited and looking forward to getting back on the road with Young Money. They’re family,” Nicki Minaj stated.
Other artists on the Young Money imprint, including Jae Millz, Mack Maine and Shanelle are also expected to make appearances during the 20-date tour.
