Young Money's Nicki Minaj recently discussed her upcoming tour alongside pop star Britney Spears and revealed her decision to downsize the on-stage props by not using sex toys.


Minaj also hinted at the possibility of previewing new music while on tour.
"She's definitely iconic and I'm very excited," Minaj explained referring to Spears. "It's weird. I just always remember her, since I was little, ruling the world, so I'm really excited to just expand my fanbase and show people that I can be a part of any world...Of course I will adjust some things. I definitely will take away that one particular stage prop," she said of one very phallic object, adding that her music and set list will basically stay the same. "We'll add some stuff 'cause I got some new things coming out this summer, some new records." (MTV)

Recently Young Money's Shanell aka SNL shared her reaction to Minaj's on-stage dildo surprise.
"I really didn't know it was going to happen. I hadn't seen her show since the first night. She was rehearsing in a different location than us, so I didn't get to see her show before hand, but Nicki's going to do stuff that's going to shock you, so...The media.. I don't know. I don't know how I feel about media right now." (VIBE)
