It’s basically official: Multiple sources, including TMZ, are reporting that Nicki Minaj will be the opening act on Britney Spears’ upcoming tour. The slot was reportedly initially offered to Enrique Iglesias however apparently those negotiations fizzled out because he wanted to be billed as a co-headliner instead.

A few days ago Minaj told MTV that she was up for the Britney tour but didn’t confirm that she would be a part of it. “I am in talks of joining Britney Spears, yeah,” Minaj said last week. “I’m in talks about a lot of things, ya know. I don’t know — oops, I did it again.”
.
Logistically the pairing makes sense: Minaj is currently on Lil Wayne’s “I Am Still Music” tour which ends on May 1st in East Rutherford, New Jersey and Brit’s tour doesn’t start until June 17th in Sacramento, Calif. Personally, we think that Minaj and Britney is a way better pairing for the kick-off to Britney’s “Femme Fatale” tour than touring with Julio Iglesias’ son… plus it doesn’t hurt that Minaj has two singles in the Billboard Top 100 right now (“Moment 4 Life” and “Did It On ‘Em),” either.
