The Pink Friday Tour was Minaj's debut concert tour. Its set list mainly drew from her second studio album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (2012) and debut studio album, Pink Friday (2010)

Alexis Petridis of The Guardian, who attended the show HMV Hammersmith Apollo in London, rated the tour with 3 out of 5 stars, saying, "It seems a strange thing to say about a performance that opens with a woman rapping 'I'm a bad bitch, I'm a cunt', but there's something oddly restrained about Nicki Minaj's live show. The final show was a part of a free Pepsi promotional concert. Attendees were only eligible for tickets if they called radio stations Hot 97, Power 105, Z-100, 92.3 Now, and WBLI, or tweeted Minaj or Pepsi on Twitter. | |||
