NBC10 explains:



A bar fight, involving team members of female rap superstar Nicki Minaj, spread onto a Philadelphia street leaving one man dead and another in the hospital, the singer says. The argument began around 2 a.m. Wednesday inside Che Bar & Grill along Stenton Avenue in Philadelphia’s West Oak Lane neighborhood. A 29-year-old stabbing victim died. A 27-year-old suffered multiple stab wounds to his side that left him in critical condition.

A suspect was last seen driving from the scene in a gray Buick LeSabre. Minaj’s “The Pinkprint Tour” is scheduled to start next month in Sweden.
