Minaj was only 14 years old when the Princess of Wales was killed in a car accident in 1997 Nicki Minaj baffled fans by asking for a moment of silence for Princess Diana during a show in Birmingham, who she called a “dear friend”. At the first UK date of her ‘Pink Friday 2’ world tour on Sunday (May 26), Minaj handed the mic to various fans in the crowd to tell her where they came from. One group of fans had come from Wales, which led her to launch into the tribute, made all the more unexpected by the fact that Minaj was only 14 years old when the Princess of Wales was killed in a car accident in 1997.
“Wales,” she said, putting on an upper-class English accent. “It always reminds me of a dear friend of mine, well she’s not here anymore, but the Princess of Wales.” The crowd applauded, to which she added: “Let’s have a moment of silence.
” The moment generated plenty of bemused reactions on social media. “Nicki Minaj calling Princess Diana “a dear friend of mine” and holding a moments silence for her is so unserious,” one X/Twitter user wrote. “absolutely obsessed with this,” another wrote.
