Taking to her Instagram Story following her show in New Jersey on Thursday (March 28), Minaj named Jadakiss as one of her favorite rappers of all time as she thanked him for popping in to surprise the crowd.
“The one and only Jadakiss graced #GagCity with his presence tonight and I couldn’t feel more honored,” she wrote. “One of my faves of ALL time. Y’all know that’s the truth. Kiss, thank you.”

It’s been a great week for Nicki Minaj, as “Super Bass,” released on her debut album Pink Friday in 2010 and as a single the following year, has been certified 12 times platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA).
Signifying at least 12 million sales or sales-equivalent units, this makes it the highest certified single ever released in the United States by a female rapper.
That record formerly belonged to Cardi B’s 2017 hit “Bodak Yellow,” which was certified 11 times platinum in 2022.
The Queens, New York rapper reacted to the achievement on social media just seconds after Chart Data broke the news.
“POW!!! thank you to Republic Records for always having my back,” she wrote on X (formerly Twitter). “barrrbz!!!!!!”
And the “Super Bass” news wasn’t Nicki Minaj’s only sales win. Her most recent LP Pink Friday 2 has been certified platinum, which now means all of her studio albums have hit or surpassed that benchmark.

As for her Pink Friday 2 tour, special guests have been popping up left to right. Just before the New Jersey stop, Minaj performed two sold-out dates in Atlanta with the support of a handful of locals, including 2 Chainz and Waka Flocka Flame.
Following a set by hometown favorite Monica — who has been along for the duration of the Pink Friday 2 Tour — Nicki ran through a series of hits new and old, and brought out 2 Chainz to perform their 2012 collab “Beez In The Trap.”
Waka later appeared, delivering a live rendition of his club banger “Hard In The Paint.” Lil Scrappy also pulled up and performed his debut single “No Problem,” a certified Atlanta classic, with an assist from his former Love & Hip-Hop Atlanta co-star Khaotic.
