Nicki Minaj is putting the finishing touches on her upcoming Pink Friday 2 tour and needs the “funniest man in show business” Katt Williams to join her.
The “Barbie World” hitmaker hopped on Instagram Live on Tuesday (February 20) before heading off to rehearsals. After recently adding Monica to the North American leg of her tour, she decided that she needed to add a touch of humor to the show.
“I know that this is the busiest man in show business, ok?” she told her viewers. “I know that he’s rich, and I know that he’s the funniest man in showbiz. Can y’all hit up Katt Williams and ask him what would be his price…to be a part of the Pink Friday 2 Gag City Tour.”
A fan in the chat told Nicki Minaj that Katt Williams was currently on his own comedy tour, but Nicki Minaj was undeterred. She revealed she has a “big bag” to persuade him to join the tour at some point.
“He ain’t got to come out every day,’ she replied. “But I would like to know if on one of his off days, if I could slide him a little bag, I mean a big bag and then have him come out. Can y’all imagine if Katt Williams was in Gag City for like a few minutes? Tell him to holla at me.”
Fans React To Nicki Minaj’s Invitation To Katt Williams
However, some fans questioned Minaj’s motivation for inviting the comedian, who recently went viral following his infamous Club Shay Shay interview.
“Nicki tickets must not be selling if she trying to convince Katt Williams to perform on her tour,” One X user wrote. “like the man ain’t announce he was on his own tour this year.”
“Nicki is asking Katt Williams to join her tour,” another added. “I get ticket sales are down…but lady please.”
Nonetheless, Nicki Minaj shared a post on her Instagram Story claiming the Pink Friday 2 Tour is her “best-selling to-date.”
“This happened within days of presale,” Minaj added. “Now we are 10 days away.”
