Nicki Minaj, the renowned Queen of Rap, paid a touching tribute to the late Princess Diana during her Pink Friday 2 Tour concert in Birmingham, UK on May 26th.
In a fan-captured clip, Minaj is seen interacting with the audience, asking them where they’re from. After a fan responds “Wales,” Minaj switches to a British accent, reminiscing about a “dear friend,” the Princess of Wales. She then leads the crowd in a moment of silence to honour Diana’s memory.
This heartfelt gesture comes despite Minaj’s recent arrest in the Netherlands for alleged drug possession, which caused her to miss a concert in Manchester. Law enforcement officials confirmed that she was fined and released, allowing her to continue her tour.
The tribute to Princess Diana holds special significance as Minaj was featured on Ice Spice’s popular song “Princess Diana,” which includes lyrics referencing the late royal.
Minaj’s actions demonstrate her admiration for Princess Diana, even though they never met. This touching moment resonated with fans, showcasing the rapper’s ability to connect with her audience on a deeper level.
