"We love you so much, and the day you decide to do a stadium tour, trust and believe South African barbz would fill up FNB stadium."

@AyndaMthimkhulu responded:

"You already know what South Africa wants."

@Drndarsky replied:

"@NICKIMINAJ, I hope you know that you are the ONLY International Artist, I know, since 2016, that had a full tour in Mzansi sold out in all our Major cities! JHB. CPT. PE and Durban. Leaving nobody out. Usually internationals stay at FNB Stadium for one or two nights and leave us! But you picked all our major cities for a sold-out win."

@StraightupGal commented:

"South Africa is ready to roll out the red carpet for you queen. You ain't never truly loved until you get some South African love."
