Nicki Minaj “promises to fire” tour DJ if he signs fans’ breasts again
Nicki Minaj has promised to fire her touring DJ if he signs fans’ breasts again, after an image of him doing so emerged online.
The rapper and singer is currently on the UK and European leg of her ‘Pink Friday 2’ world tour in support of her 2023 album of the same name.
Last Sunday (May 26) Minaj responded to a screenshot of an image that DJ Boof – her touring DJ at the shows – had posted on his Instagram Stories. The photo in question sees Boof – real name Clyde Joseph Jr. – signing an audience member’s breasts with a black pen.
“I’m really famous,” he wrote as the caption. “They asked me to sign their boobs.” The DJ also included two laughing-face emojis in the message. However, Minaj was far from impressed when the picture was brought to her attention on X/Twitter.
She wrote: “I promise I’ll fire him if I EVAHHHHH see this again. Df.”
Later, Minaj replied to a fan who said: “He over here trynna ride the sign my titties wave like.” The artist tweeted: “Like??!! It’s clear to SEE boof wanna be ME.” Check out the posts below.

DJ Boof has not yet commented on Minaj’s response.
Minaj is set to perform at The O2 in London tonight (May 28) ahead of concerts in Glasgow (29) and Manchester (May 30 and June 3).
The latter date has been rescheduled after Minaj missed her planned gig at the new Co-Op Live arena last Saturday (May 25) due to her being arrested in Amsterdam for “carrying drugs”.
Minaj explained that she was unable to make it to the venue in time because she had spent “5-6 hours” in a Dutch jail cell earlier in the day. She said she believed the authorities had deliberately stopped her from making the show, adding that she would “have the lawyers & GOD take it from here”.
“Please please please accept my deepest & most sincere apologies,” Minaj wrote. “They sure did know exactly how to hurt me today but this too, shall pass.”
Nicki Minaj will headline Wireless Festival 2024 in London’s Finsbury Park this summer.
