Nicki Minaj recently brought a touch of royal sentiment to her “Pink Friday 2 Tour” concert in Birmingham, UK. While in the show, the self-proclaimed “Queen of Rap” held a heartfelt tribute to Princess Diana, leading a moment of silence for the beloved Princess of Wales, who tragically passed away in 1997.

The moment was captured in fan videos, proving the royal tribute happened spontaneously. It all occurred as the “Anaconda” rapper passed the mic around, asking fans to share where they were from. When a fan mentioned Wales, the hitmaker made a British accent and expressed her connection to “a dear friend of mine,” the late Princess of Wales. Funnily enough, they never met in real life.
The Barbz (that’s the name Nicki Minaj’s fans wear proudly) erupted in cheers at the mention of the late Princess Diana, and the rapper called for a brief moment of silence, honoring the princess’ legacy. This tribute might also hint at Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice’s song “Princess Diana,” which references the former royal as a pop culture icon and a fashionista in the lyrics.
