Rap star Nicki Minaj on Tuesday
announced a summer of arena shows in North America following concerts in
Europe despite the killing of her tour manager.
Minaj, one of the most successful female rappers, announced
14 shows in the United States and five in Canada starting on July 17 in
Dallas.
On Monday night she started a European tour in Stockholm.
The tour went ahead even though Minaj's tour manager, De'Von
Pickett, was stabbed to death last month outside a bar in Philadelphia.
Police arrested a suspect in the stabbing, which also injured a member of Minaj's entourage.
Local television said that the fight broke out when members
of Minaj's team, who were in Philadelphia to prepare for the tour, tried
to help a female bartender leave safely.
Minaj, who
was born in Trinidad and raised in New York, has been a frequent
collaborator with superstars including Madonna and Justin Bieber.
Her third studio album, "The Pinkprint," was released last
year and is full of autobiographical material, including a song about
coping with a cousin's violent death.
