Mac S. Far, the managing director of Alchemy Project, told Dubai-based Gulf News that “we are extremely excited to bring this amazingly versatile artist to Dubai.”

“Nicki Minaj is currently one of the top three world musicians. We had an unprecedented fan-base request and without exaggeration, this could be the most attractive solo concert of the year,” he added.

Minaj has been labeled a controversial character as of late, following her public feuds with fellow celebrities such as co-American Idol judge Mariah Carey and Lady Gaga.

Minaj’s seventh single, Super Bass, has been crowned quadruple-platinum by the RIAA, and has sold more than four million copies, making it one of the best-selling singles in the United States.
