Nicki Minaj And BIA Perform "WHOLE LOTTA MONEY (Remix)" During "Pink Friday 2 World Tour" Boston Stop
Nicki Minaj’s “Pink Friday 2 World Tour” made its first stop in Boston on Monday (April 8) night. During her set, the rapper brought out former collaborator BIA to perform their hit single, “WHOLE LOTTA MONEY (Remix).”
In a clip shared online, the pair could be seen hugging one another before Minaj’s featured verse on the track. “Boston, sing this with me,” BIA shouted as the crowd chanted. Taking to Twitter this morning (April 9), the self-coined Perico Princess shared her reaction: “Gag City was tea.”
BIA’s surprise appearance was just one of the thrilling moments during Minaj’s trek so far. The “Super Freaky Girl” artist previously welcomed 50 Cent on stage at her Madison Square Garden concert and 2 Chainz during her second Atlanta show.

I never in my wildest dreams would’ve thought that this tour… I mean, I did keep saying, ‘It’s going to be this. It’s going to be that.’ Let me tell you something: The other component that I didn’t factor in was you guys, your energy. I just will always be thankful, period.”
