The Internet Is Losing It Over “Gag City” — The Nicki Minaj-Inspired AI World Created By Her Fanbase
Booking my flight to Gag City as we speak.
Okay, it's official. Nicki Minaj's fans — known as the "Barbz" — might be the most inventive fanbase in the world for creating an AI-generated city to promote Nicki's newest album Pink Friday 2.
The city has officially been named #GagCity, and it's reached every corner of the internet in the last 48 hours.

And she finally released her official statement:
As we begin to prepare for landing, please make sure your tray tables are put back up & your seat belts are tightly fastened. The captain has activated the “no bathroom” sign. If you look out the window, you’ll begin to see the beauty…clear waters, pink dolphins…#GagCity #PF2
