The tour manager of rapper Nicki Minaj has
been stabbed to death and another member of
her entourage seriously injured in a bar fight.
Nicki Minaj herself confirmed the news that
two members of her team were stabbed in
Philadelphia, where they were preparing for a
tour scheduled to start on March 16 in
Stockholm.
"One was killed. They had only been there for
two days rehearsing for the tour," Minaj wrote
on Twitter.
Police said that an apparent argument set off
the fight after midnight outside a Bar and that
the victim was stabbed multiple times in the
torso before dying in hospital. The other man
was in critical condition with stab wounds to
his left arm and left side, a police statement
said.
Police described the alleged assailant as a 30-
year-old man with a full beard who drove
away in a dark gold Buick Lesabre.
While
police did not identify the victims, rapper
Fabolous identified the dead man as De'Von
Pickett, Minaj's tour manager, and said that
the other victim was an associate, Eric
Parker. Fabulous took to Instagram to express
his shock;
"I am still in shock and don't want to believe
this. And it hurts even more knowing how
good these two dudes are. How hard these
guys work,"
Some witnesses told authorities that the
altercation may have had to do with a recently
fired employee, which has yet to be
confirmed. Nicki who has been planning a
one-month tour in Europe with friend, Meek
Mill is currently mourning. Sad.
