Nicki Minaj: X Games 2015 in Austin and The Pinkprint Tour

AUSTIN, TEXAS – June 5, 2015 Prolific hip hop hitmaker, the transcendent radio rapper Nicki Minaj continued raising her sky-high profile with a bombastic set at the X Games in Austin on Friday night.  Trying to match the intensity of the extreme sporting displays experienced all day was a feat that only a seasoned performer like Minaj could execute flawlessly.

Texas Rock Report’s editor-in-chief and photographer at the event, Manuel Nauta, said of the show “Armed with only a few back-up dancers and two DJ’s, the concert boasted dazzling lighting sequences, thunderous sound pumping out of the speakers, and three story-high screens which set the perfect stage for Minaj’s hell of a headlining gig.”

After a few more upcoming festival dates and the vibrant, edgy songstress will embark on the North American leg of The Pinkprint Tour this July, with the first stop being in Dallas (7/17) at the Gexa Energy Pavilion. Opening for the Billboard chart topper will be Dej Loaf, Tinashe and her on and off again beau, lyricist Meek Mill, who made a surprise appearance at the aforementioned X Games.
