Nicki Minaj says 2 tour members stabbed, 1 fatally, in Philadelphia

Singer Nicki Minaj said two of her tour “team members” were stabbed early Wednesday morning outside of a bar in Philadelphia, one fatally.

Police said the two men, ages 26 and 29, were seen arguing with a man at the bar at about 2 a.m. The man pulled a knife when the group went outside, according to Associated Press.

Police say the 29-year-old was killed and the 26-year-old was critically wounded.

Minaj tweeted that the two men had flown into Philadelphia for rehearsal two days ago. She linked to a local news report of the stabbing shortly after.

Minaj wrote the stabbings were “another senseless act of violence that took the life of a great guy.”
