Minaj, one of the most successful female rappers, announced 14 shows in the United States and five in Canada starting on July 17 in Dallas.
On Monday night she started a European tour in Stockholm.
The tour went ahead even though Minaj's tour manager, De'Von Pickett, was stabbed to death last month outside a bar in Philadelphia.
Police arrested a suspect in the stabbing, which also injured a member of Minaj's entourage.
Local television said that the fight broke out when members of Minaj's team, who were in Philadelphia to prepare for the tour, tried to help a female bartender leave safely.
Minaj, who was born in Trinidad and raised in New York, has been a frequent collaborator with superstars including Madonna and Justin Bieber.
Her third studio album, "The Pinkprint," was released last year and is full of autobiographical material, including a song about coping with a cousin's violent death.
