*sigh* where tf do I begin? Ok. Flashback to 2015, everybody’s still getting their life to The Pinkprint, Nicki’s breaking records left and right, and the world has been shook to its core by this magical era in music.
I FINALLY get my physical copy of the album at age 12 & get in trouble constantly in school for throwing out Nicki bars at random left right and centre (only the barbz know)
So me and my mom go to lunch after she collects me from outside the principal’s office for the 1927823th time (obviously I got bullied a lot, for being not only a ph/\\g but a barb too 
) and I didn’t have a phone at this stage so I grab one of the newspapers they have in cafés

The first thing I see when I turn the page is Nicki wit her bitties out & posing iconically wearing that beautiful feather headpiece and then I look down... “THE PINKPINT TOUR” and my heart skips a beat
Then I see “DUBLIN, IRELAND and BELFAST, UK” b i t c h I started CRYING on the spot and mom was like tf is up with u 
sis I begged her for MONTHS and MONTHS to get the tix and she would KNOT cave next thing it’s Christmas Day and I dean near break the stairs going down to see if my tickets were there but
next thing it’s Christmas Day and I dean near break the stairs going down to see if my tickets were there but
...they weren’t there.
next theming there’s a knock at the door at it’s my best friend Molly (who got me into Nicki in the first place) and her bitchass is standing there grinning at me with her tickets
as you can imagine my Christmas is ruined and even my Mom & Dad looked kinda sad. They knew DAMNNN well it was all I wanted but my mum wasn’t sure it was age appropriate for me (I mean understandable but..)
Fast forward to more months of begging for tickets and after school one day, I’m in the car with Mom and she goes “I got a letter from your teacher” and I was awww shiii tf they tell you about now?? (My bitchass has enough of the bully’s shit and snapped couple times hehe)
I open the letter expecting the worst AND ITS THE FUCKING TICKETS DNJSKDHENSBSNZB73&:)/@.€:€-€!_$~£_$!~££
My mum thought i was fucking possessed for the next 10 minutes bitch 
I mean full EXCORCIST, SCREMAING, STRAINED VOCAL CHORDS absolutely losing my shit bc it sunk in that I’d finally get to see the one woman that kept me strong and hear the music that birthed my inner bad bitch

And as it turned out, much unexpected to me, my dad had and her were talking and they realised how much Nicki and her music meant to me so they decided to surprise me with the tickets 
they got some good ass seats too!
they got some good ass seats too!
Of course I flaunt the tickets for months and go through Nicki’s discog and mixtapes (just in case) and made sure I had every line down to a tee
And then it’s the day of the show. Barely slept and ate whatsoever the night before bc I was THAT hype. So we’re walking into the stadium and I cry the whole way into the the opening act (Ester Dean from pitch perfect, also a hitmaker & dancer) bc I WAS IN THE SAME PLACE AS NICKI
Trey comes on, it’s cute, it’s whateva, it’s a lil hot so he takes his shirt off and now everybody seems to enjoy it a lil more (including me and my mom)
And then it happens. We’re sitting at the very side of the stage so we can see Nicki and her dancers do the lol prayer circle thing before she starts and somehow I’m the only one that sees it so it’s just me crying histerically and everybody else there like “...tf?”
Then the stage lights go pink. It’s happening it’s happening omg
To this day I’m forever plagued by the video of me screaming the lyrics to all things go and transcending from my body when she came on that stage
The show goes on. It’s EVERYTHING I ever wanted from her. The buildup to it all was so worth it. Endless classics back to back. VISUALS. CHOREO. BARS. VOCALS.
And it gets toward the end of the show. Out of nowhere I hear “I need a boy and a girl to come up hea!” AND BITCHSKSJKSJSEJ
When I tell you I RAN to the barrier at the stage from my seat, it was literally like
And all the girlies at the front row and their mom, the two best friends that were sat beside me and my mom that seen me bopping and rapping everything word for word STARTED LIFTING ME UP AND SHOUTING NICKIIIIII we were all like:
we were all like:
Next thing Nicki and ALL her dancers heads just shoot round (in an entire sold out stadium full of hysteric screaming fans and look over like
And she looked at mE and said HI LITTLE BOYYY, COME ON UP!!
Never has the term soul left my body applied in such a fitting manner. AS SOON AS WE MADE EYE CONTACT it was a true out of body experience. Alexa play love drought
...it kinda goes downhill unexpectedly. This hitch with a clipboard came over to me and said SORRY YOU CANT GO UP YOU’RE TOO YOUNG and BLAHBLAHBLAH
<**BITCH, then me and my mom are ready to throw hands and Nicki just says “Where’s that lil boy I asked for, hoes?” AKAJHAJHS and they’re just like oh ok go ahead then. Her POWER >>>
I get escorted backstage and the guy sends me on. From this point on, I feel like I’m dreaming bc it’s literally a dream come true. I see Literally 20,000 people in front of me and NICKI FUCKING MINAJ walks over, says hi and smiles.... I just broke down.
I start crying, bawling (for REAL fr, the str*ights somehow pushed this narrative that I prentended to so I could feel her boobs with my face, ?????)
She hugs me and I’m thinking... wow. This is the moment these lil c*nts in my school told me I’d never get. My head is in her boobs and millions of men around the world want their head to be where mine is now and IMMA LET THESE BITCHES KNOWWW
Honestly I can’t recall much between the hug and crying and whip it starting but I remember her being like “Ok so I need you to warm up the crowd, can you do that?” To which I replied “Hell yea, you want me to twerk bc I CAN”
She dieddd she was like “well damn just do whatever you feel comfortable with that’ll get the crowd going ok babe?” 
she was like “well damn just do whatever you feel comfortable with that’ll get the crowd going ok babe?”
Now I’m gonna be honest with y’all... I was somewhat a Miley stan back then and I thought it would be a good idea to try throw it back on Nicki VMA style and she was just like 
Hell I didn’t know what tf I was doing that entire lil dance routine bc I was so lightheaded and out of it but I made damn sure it was memorable 
if this was today bitch I would TURNNN 
ITTTT
if this was today bitch I would TURNNN ITTTT
The absolute best five minutes of my life. Me and nic hugged some more, took some pics and my mom was just down in the crowd like
Whenever me an the Queen said our goodbyes and hugged some more I came back to my seat and the whole place was chanting my name girl... I lived. I just kinda sat there in my seat as trini dem girls played like
I was crying AGAIN to my mum like DID THAT JUST HAPPEN DID THAT ACTUALLY JUST HAPPENEBSLSNS
When the show was over and everybody got their absolute life from everything that happened I just kinda walked out with my mom and all the people were asking for pics and congratulating me and hugging me and WOW
It took me a whole HOUR to get out of the stadium because of it. I felt like a celebrity. My mom said to me in the taxi on the way to the hotel: “You’re gonna go viral you know, all the bastards that made your life hell all those years are gonna be sucking up to you from now on”
And she was absolutely right. I got back to my room and my lil iPad was singing nonstop, I was on Nicki’s IG, my fan page was gaining like crazy, my friends, relatives and everybody in my town LOVED IT
And the rest is history. To this DAY I get recognised in the street, on nights out, you name it. Everybody knows me as Danny Minaj because of it and honestly I’m not mad at it 
There’s so much more I could get into but this thread is LOOOONG as already lmao. Thank y’all so much for letting me tell my story and if you made it this far then congrats lol. I had to make sure my POV got heard after all this time 
If you wanna support me making something out of this so that I’m not ONLY ever known as that boy that met Nicki, feel free to click this link to my SoundCloud, I have loads of bops and there’s something for everyone! Thanks Barbz
