NICKI’S TOUR MANAGER KILLED
Nicki Minaj has taken to Twitter to express her sadness after two of her crew members were stabbed in Philadelphia.
The Anaconda rapper’s tour manager De'Von Pickett died from his injuries after a bar fight which spilled out on the street, while Eric Reed was also stabbed several times.
Pickett is thought to have suffered multiple wounds to his torso, while Reed was stabbed on his left arm and left side.
The two men were both rushed to Albert Einstein Medical Center, and Pickett - also known as DayDay - died from his injuries at 2.45am. Reed remains in a 'fair' condition.
In a statement to NBC Philadelphia, Chief Inspector Scott Small said: “We believe that both of the victims, as well as the perpetrator, were all inside of this bar and that’s when an argument started.”
Taking to Twitter, Minaj wrote: “Two members of my team were stabbed last night in Philly. One was killed. They had only been there for two days rehearsing for the tour.”
