Nicki Minaj’s ‘Pinkprint’ tour stops outside D.C.

Nicki Minaj’s song “Anaconda” may not have received a video of the year nomination for the MTV Video Music Awards, but fans can still see her perform the hit when her “Pinkprint” tour stops near D.C. Wednesday night.

Though the rapper feuded on Twitter with Taylor Swift  — who played at Nationals Park last week  — over the snub, she’ll hit the Jiffy Lube Live theater in Virginia to play tracks off of her latest album, “The Pinkprint.”

Minaj will be joined by hip-hop duo Rae Sremmurd, who collaborated with her on the songs “No Flex Zone” and “Throw Some Mo’,” as well as her rapper-boyfriend Meek Mill.

While in town, Minaj might make a visit to the White House — even if she performs her verse from the 2012 Lil Wayne song “Mercy,” in which she rapped that she would vote for then-presidential candidate Mitt Romney. Minaj said that the lyrics were meant to be sarcastic and sent her “love and support” to President Barack Obama.

If you want to spend the night dancing to “Feeling Myself” and “The Night is Still Young,” you can still grab a pair of tickets — prices range from about $30 to about $200.
