Minaj hopped on Instagram to share her gratitude for her dedicated fans.
"We made female rap history as of today with how many sold-out shows and how much, you know, how many shows that have grossed over 2 million," she said in a video.
"So, I just wanna thank everybody that's been coming out.
"I never in my wildest dreams woulda thought that this tour—I mean, I did keep saying it's gonna be this it's gonna be that, but let me tell you something, the other component I didn't factor in was you guys. Your energy."
It comes after the singer stopped her Manchester gig 30 minutes before she was due on stage after being held by Dutch police.
Minaj live-streamed her own arrest while at Amsterdam Airport after being accused of "carrying drugs” with her on the plane - something the singer has denied.
She accused the employees of forcing her to send her bags through security a second time.
