Long black hair or a pink mikado. Outrageously firm chest and show ass in bold costumes in excessive amounts of pink and gaudy nails. Do you know who that is?

The icon, queen of rap, and eccentric showgirl who calls herself Nicki Minaj.

 

Yes, the extravagant star who is shocking the world with her unique looks and amazing talent.

She's been a favorite of mine for some time now, not only as a music star but as a person.

 

I started listening to her powerful work a couple of years ago, when her lyrics helped me through a challenging time in my life, both at work and in my relationships. After I took a liking to her, a tattoo landed on my other forearm to remind me of her strength. She changed my perception of the people around me by saying, "My Haters Are My Motivators".

I always longed to see her live in concert.

 

It was the pre-Christmas preparation period and my husband and I were thinking about how we were going to spend the Christmas holidays and what we were going to buy as a remarkable gift for Christmas.

Just when I was getting exhausted by the constant internet surfing and was slowly giving up, my husband's announcement lifted me out of my chair.

 

"We're going to a Nicki Minaj concert in Berlin next June, I just bought tickets!"

The shock was replaced by incredible amazement and a burst of childlike joy. I couldn't believe what had just happened. I thought she was planning shopping for the family and the obligatory visits, which as usual we won't go without. But when he even announced that he had bought seats in the VIP area, I was in heaven.

No, to his surprise, he made my dream of the world of music come true and we would go to a fantastic concert, which we would combine with a family cultural trip around Berlin.

I couldn't be happier. I gave him a big kiss, and a warm hug and looked forward to next year.

 

Staying in Berlin

 

We combined our stay in Berlin with a longer stay to give us some rest and experience around the city.

We set off in the car together, along with our dog and my husband's mum, who we spoilt for traditional German sausages and famous sweet treats.

We booked accommodation in one of the quiet hotels we had already visited once before Christmas last year. It was lovely accommodation for reasonable money and most importantly they allowed dogs, which was crucial for us as we travel with our pet everywhere.

The whole trip was quite challenging but with our commitment and good spirits, it went by pretty quickly.

After our arrival, we had to rest and refresh ourselves with a delicious dinner, after which we all slept until the next day.

Pink Friday arrived.

In the morning we played our favorite songs and mentally prepared ourselves for the evening's fun that was to take place in Berlin's Uber Arena in the city centre.

The time for thorough preparations was approaching.

Wanting to blend in with the other fans, I opted for a pink loose-fitting t-shirt, bold make-up, and modern jeans. My husband wasn't concerned with pink, but after a long time, we were able to drape ourselves beautifully in the company and felt special.

We said goodbye to the dog and mom, who were happily resting in the room and we were ready to leave. A car picked us up at the hotel and we sped through the clogged city with the driver expertly weaving between cars.

 

Welcome drink on the terrace

 

We stepped out onto the square, which was alive. Bars and restaurants nearby were crowded everywhere, fans cheered by and waited in line to get into the concert hall as quickly as possible.

We took a few photos at the front entrance with happy smiles and great anticipation. We had an estimated 2 hours before the pink queen's entrance. Since we had seats in the VIP section, we walked in through a separate entrance where we were ushered in by the lovely hostesses who fastened our wristbands and gave us all the information about our package. The bag consisted of souvenirs, access to the terrace, and a lavish buffet of hot and cold snacks and drinks.

We were incredibly impressed by the people around us, the other fans, who had chosen their outfits really carefully and with the colors they chose, obviously wanted to pay homage and respect to the star herself. Until I thought I could have let my imagination run a little bolder because I would have fit in perfectly.

The escalators took us to the elevator that took us to the next floor. As soon as we stepped off, we were taken to an incredibly beautiful bar, with counters of cold and hot food, desserts, and areas to take photos in front of the backdrops and decorations. I didn't know where else to look, it was a feast for the eyes.

We had to come up for air for a while to check out the outdoor terrace, which was so spacious that we could sit on the edge of the balcony with a plate full of goodies and enjoy the view of the river and other corporate buildings at the same time.

Part of our concert traditions is to splurge on accessories in the form of clothing, wristbands, posters, and key chains to complete our memories. This time we really indulged in unique pieces.

After a hearty meal, dessert, and welcome drink, we decided to retire to the main hall and find our seats. The grandstand was very close to the main stage, so I had an awesome view of the plasma screens to film and photograph our star in action.

The DJ opened the music, distracting us as the opening act and playing all sorts of RnB hits to get us dancing in our seats and in the area below the stage. The fans really took to it in a big way. Everyone was imitating Nicki Minaj by twerking or rapping, which was like something cut out of a music video. The moment that would bring down the music avalanche was approaching.

 

The arrival of the pink star

 

The stage went silent. The first bass sounded and the opening video projection was projected on the screen, sparking screams and applause. The whole concert couldn't have gotten off to a better start. "I'm The Best" blasted through the hall and Nicki made her way up the main step from backstage. She rose like a true queen in a glittering corset and black hair.

Every song was simply a hit that every fan knew, word for word, and vocally. It was impossible not to dance or move to the beat. I was mesmerized, watching every dance creation or sexy pose she waved her dancers and the entire audience on stage. All the choreography was accompanied by effects in the form of colored lights and strobes or fiery flamethrowers.

I was waiting for my favorite songs like "Monster" or "Anaconda", which I knew by heart, and of course, I was waiting for them. What I didn't know, however, was that my husband was secretly filming me at my amateur rap session with Nicki. My husband was running off to get drinks, flying around the lobby looking for more souvenirs that I would still like to have in my collection. My joy and excitement knew no end. Even though my makeup was slowly starting to melt and the stale air caused me to sweat under my shirt, I paid attention to the whole performance and the beautiful words of the icon herself at the end of the concert.

She was able to convey with her thoughts and lyrics a feminine power, determination, and courage that got under my skin. Emotions took over and I was even moved by her attitude towards her fans, the gratitude and humility with which she came across on stage. Despite coming across as a tough and uncompromising woman, inside she is as sensitive and vulnerable as any personality. Her outspoken nature adds to her credibility and personal strength.

With one of her last songs, "Super Bass," she managed to take the experience to the next level, surprisingly making the older generation in their seats dance.

I was sad to see the concert come to an end, but I took away irreplaceable moments that will remain in my memory forever.

 

The beauty afterwards

 

The crowds gradually left their seats and walked towards the exit.

They were dancing, singing, and smiling, happy. The euphoria was indescribable.

Hung with souvenirs, we got out into the air and tried to weave through the people to get to the main street and call for a ride back to the hotel. The streets were still alive, people were having fun and some continued on for more fun.

We walked a bit more through Berlin at night to catch our breath and share our experiences with each other and with strangers we passed along the way.

When we stopped at the place where we ordered our Uber, we took a few more selfies and looked forward to going to bed where the rest of the family was waiting for us.

After a nice shower, we both went to bed with great impressions and looked forward to the next day, which was going to be a busy one of sightseeing and exploring more sights.

 

We were back to living, enjoying, and exploring new places through travel and cultural events that we loved so much.

These moments are worth living for...
