Nicki was all packed up and it was hot as ever. She didn’t take to many suit cases because she knew she will be coming back with twice as much. She only packed her best of the best outfits to head overseas. She knew she would be the talk of the town over in the UK. The whole crew was ready and excited but they were also sad to leave their families behind. Nicki said her goodbyes to her family once again and safaree visited his mom and sisters and called his father before they headed over to the UK red eye flight. It was a red eye because the UK is usually 6 to 7 hours ahead of the USA so when its night in the US it’s Day in the UK.
They boarded the plane and took of nicki tweeted
@Nickiminaj Red eye to UK… UK barbs I see you on my TL I can’t wait to hug you all. Just don’t bum rush me lolz Muah!
She sat her hot pink Barbie berry down and just looked out the window at the night skies. She would be in the UK within 10 to 14 hours on her jet.
“Safaree hunny”
“Yes sweetheart” he said getting up and walking over to her rubbing his fingers thru her flat iron natural hair
She looked up
“Can you pass me my diary I want to tell the barbs something?”
“I’m going to tweet them and tell them how dedicated you are, because u have been writing none stop. I wouldn’t be surprised if this mess was 300 to 400 pages long.”
Safaree reached over in their LV duffle bag and pulled out the latest Diary she started working on. She had run thru about 4 diaries already front and back on all pages.
“Here you go” he handed it to her with a pen also
“Thanks bay”
Nicki reclined the chair and stretched out. She put her ear plugs in to block any distractions and began to write the barbs.
Dear barbs June,
Right now I’m on that private thang headed to the UK. USA barbs yall are my life! I love all my barbs and it was so good seeing all of you. I enjoyed my presents and times that I got to spend with all of you. Safaree was also grateful barbs because you all supported him and his shirt line. He appreciates it a lot! VVs clarity clothing! *rolls eyes* anyway barbs, no I will not let him be great lolz. But the UK and overseas period should be amazing. Barbs I’m going to tell you all the secrets in this because you all won’t see it until after everything is done lolz I love dat. But I will bring Taylor swift with me on stage, rihanna because she’s on tour at the same time, kanye yes I said it kanye west, and of course Wayne. I love yall UK barbs so much! Yall show me unwavering support and yall see me the least. I’m going to make sure that I see all of you even if that’s the last thing I do. But today as been emotionally draining because I won’t see my family for months, that’s hard barbs. My brother is about to have another baby, my niece! And I won’t be able to hold her, but I’m doing this for them. I told my family that I will go out my way just to make sure we are comfortable. Barbs I want you to set goals like that so that your parents won’t have to work. They took care of you, now you take care of them, its only right. Also, I’ve been having a mild tummy ache but I think it’s from me not eating how I suppose to. Yes barbs, I struggle with weight just like every woman does. I fluctuate from 110 – 125 pounds all the time. Its hard barbs, but I’m confident in my body and yall should be to. Love the skin you’re in. remember God is Able and I’m about to embark on a new journey. I will see Paris, London, Scotland, Amsterdam, even Germany. I have barbs every fuckin where lolz and I will see you all. LOVE ONIKA!

Nicki had been In the UK for over a month now and things were crazy everyday but nicki loved the attention. She had a new wig for everyday and a new fashionista outfit for every show. Even when she went out she was in character every day. There was no such thing as hiding out over there because they traced her every move. She loved them though and she did many interviews and TV shows. Nicki even picked up on her French and her Scottish accent. She loved the vibe over there and the temperature was just right. She knew it would be burning up in Miami right now but the UK was warm but not too hot, just right.
Dear Barbs July 8th,
It’s me and Safaree’s 1st year anniversary for our marriage! And we are so happy I love my baby. I told him I will get him something back in the states. Barbs I’ve been here for a month now and I love the UK couture. I am living, this is where I belong. I swear in my past life I was rich and English. But barbs the gifts the UK barbs are giving me are so much life. I even got a LV bag and it’s green and sexy! Lolz I love yall barbs yall bring the best out of me. Everybody here has been treating me so good. Oh! My USA barbs! Babies I miss you all so much. And I want to shout out Ibodyybitches Nicki Named as Mickey Mouse / ebony lolz I’m mad I named that entire girls name. She came and bought me this beautiful published book you all made for me. I love you all forever. You all show me that love is real. I read most of it and I see all my barbs I follow and the barbs who mention me regularly. Ha! Safaree told me to tell you all that yall are crazy traveling the world with me. But I told him that YOU are me and I AM you and I love yall for going out of your way. Tim Westwood crazy ass calls me every day! He’s so sweet. And barbs I got to met the royal family! I wore a navy blue dress and I was very conservative. They wanted to know who was making so much noise in their country lolz. I love the queen she is very humorous. I hat biscuits (cookies) and tea with her. That was a moment for life. Don’t yall know the British soldiers barbs? Who wear those tall black fury hats and red suits? Safaree ran up on one and played like he was going to punch him and he didn’t budge. I cried naw barbs more like wept laughing because safaree first of all is retarded then he cussed the man out! Then when we entered the castle the soldier said “back to ya” *weeps* but barbs I gotta go. I have to appear on the anniversary of x- factor tonight in London tune in! Love you always. LOVE Onika!
Nicki didn’t know that after that show had aired that night that she had boosted X-Factor’s views by 110% that night. That is the most recorded views in history like 22 million people watched.

Dear barbs August,
I feel like my life is moving slow. I don’t know if I’m home sick or just out right pressed. I wish that every single one of you were here to take my mind into a journey and a world beyond. Just take me back to Nation of Pinkslam where I belong. Well today some family members from the states calls (safaree’s) and they told safaree that one of his closest friends got taken by reckless gun violence again. It’s as hard on me as a wife to see my husband mourn. I want him to go back but he refuses to leave me because he doesn’t trust anybody to protect me like he can. He’s so strong for me but I want to be strong for him *cries* barbs what should I do? What route should I take? Where should I lead him? All day I have just had him in my lap rubbing his head as he reminisced on all of the things he had done with that friend. At some points during our convos I don’t know what to say. I hate to say I’m sorry! That’s so irritating to me. But he knows that I can relate to losing people to useless gun violence. Barbs when I get back I’m going to start a foundation that will fight against gun violence in the horrible parts of each state. Its time stand and be the real American that I am, and get these crazed nigga of the street with guns. I wish we could just take all guns away in the United States but that wouldn’t be smart. Barbs I’m just sad, angry, frustrated and tired. Safaree is my other half and when he is gon and his mind isn’t here then mines isn’t neither. Thank God I don’t have a show tonight because I wouldn’t have performed to my best potential. Barbs I also told him it’s ok to cry. The only time he cries is with his mother, sisters, or me. He says it’s a pride thing, and that one of the soldiers of the NYC streets got taken, a good soldier that protected the kids when he knew danger was on the way. Barbs I will write you all tomorrow. This is my only entry for today. Remember to always tell somebody you love them. LOVE Onika
Nicki closed the diary and sat it on the side of her lap. One of her legs was out of the cover and the other one was under the cover while safaree lay on top of it on her lap. Nicki sat there and looked at her husband as he looked distraught. She rubbed his 3 60 waves, and leaned her had back. She opened her eyes to the ceiling and let tears slide down her face. She cried a silent cry.
In a ways she felt safaree’s emotions. The things he didn’t let out, she did it for him. She knew he wouldn’t cry over a friend, especially a friend who was in the hood. He tried to fight everything back. And he succeeded.
Nicki wanted to be strong for him so she wiped her tears before he could see her face and looked down at him.
She closed her eyes and lowered her head to kiss him on the top of his head. Safaree turned around on his stomach as they sat there in silent and wrapped his arms around her waist as his head still laid on her thigh. He looked towards the window of the bus.
“Babe, God don’t give us what we can’t bear right?”
“That’s right. A trial comes in everybody’s life. Tribulations too”
“But why does he take young lives?”
“I can’t answer that. You have to talk to God about his decisions. But don’t question god. Just know that he has a plan.”
Day knocked on the door.
“Yall okay?”
“Yes Day and you can open the door.”
“Well I just wanted to bring you both something to eat since you all haven’t eat anything all day”
“Thanks so much day, but I aint got no appetite” safaree said. He turned his head back around and nicki looked at day with a confused sad look, like she didn’t know what to do.
“You two should go walking, and talking.”
“Thanks day, but I think we will stay here. Were comfortable”
“Ok babies I love yall”
“Love you too” they said in unison. Day closed the door.
“I know God loves me and he has a plan for me. He wouldn’t have taken me out of that hell whole of Brooklyn”
“Yes babe”
“Niggas die every day, that’s why I won’t cry”
“You don’t have to put on this front like you don’t hurt safaree. You can cry”
“I won’t. I have too much pride”
“Okay baby. Well I love you. And I know you will find peace in a while”
“Love you too”
Nicki rubbed his head until he fell asleep. And then she fell asleep and fell to the side. That’s how they slept.

Dear Barbs September,
It’s been 11 months into this whole tour! I have met so many face seen so many new places. I’m in Scotland right now and it is bananas. The cultural norms are Cray! Like dudes wear skirts called kilts. I bought safaree one and we had a card game. I bet him if I won speed that he would wear it. For some reason on that night I was on point with my cards and speed and I won. So barbs I will be doing an Ustream, which would be a surprise for and he will wear it on there lolz. He said he’s going to get me back, but I don’t know what he can do to get back at me. I’ve tried different food, and barbs when I tell you I had the muthafucken BUBBLE GUTS I tore this bus up I’m surprise I didn’t break this bitch down. I said never again will I eat foreign shit! My stomach hurt so badly. And we will not get on safaree stankin ass. He farted for 3 days straight and it would be at random times. Like we were doing did it on em and this nigga was jumpin and bent over in front of Sara the dancer face and farted on accident! I couldn’t hold the laughed and I couldn’t finish did it on em. That was said and safaree cheeks were red! I cried so badly! It was funny and Sara screamed! *weeps* he was so wrong for dat. I told his big ass don’t jump that day! He definitely cut the cheese lolz. I just wanted to tell yall some crazy shit that been going on. Love you. LOVE Onika!
“Hahahaha I just told the barbs what you did to Sara”
“Damn they gon be getting on me “
“I swear they are, you gon have a nick name out this world”
“Man that was so wrong though I just couldn’t hold it and it came from nowhere when I bent over”
“No babe but your face after you did it was priceless”
They laughed all night about that show. And nicki tweeted twice that night before they turned in for the night.
_
“Babe we go home tomorrow!”
“I know I’m excited to be back in my own bed!”
“Me too” nicki kissed safaree
“Let me write one more entry before bed. The last entry!”
Everybody on the bus clapped.
“You stuck to it diva” Terrence said
“I know I’m proud of myself. But I really want my barbs to have this”
Nicki got up and went to the back of the bus in her room and put on her glasses and grabbed her diary.
Dear Barbs October,
I must say this journey has been amazing this past year has been amazing. I have met every single barb, and I know I have to meet my ladybugs still when they come of age. But so far I have met everybody. I’ve learned a lot of things on this tour like time management, priority time, better writing skills, self expression, communication, love, support, staying 20 steps ahead instead of 10. Life is good just to some up everything. I have missed a lot of family things but this break that I will take when I get back to the states will make up for it. I will now have time for twitter again, and this is unfortunately the last diary entry. And it’s weird to because this is the last page in diary and the last diary and we only bought 12 and this is the 12th one. I have built a tougher skin, and I have learned to not only care for myself personally but for my husband also. You all know my life journey has been hard and I’ve learned, but this experience has bought me great joy. Maybe I will settle down for a while, maybe I might just start my clothing line. We never know what life throws at us. It feels good to wake up to a different city every month and learn new things. I have matured even more than what I was. I have grown as an artist, and more as a person. Barbs you all will always be a part of my life. You are the people who made me, I’m your investment, and what you invest in me, makes me bigger. I love that yall saw something in me that I knew could be big. Yall made Nicki Minaj big. Thank you. I appreciate you all. I didn’t know when I decided to do this book that I was going to stick thru it. But I did and I’m happy. You all will know a closer and private side of me. Onika is who you have met in this book. I hope you all enjoyed every day of my life away from you in this book. Tears were shed, happiness was given, smiles rose from the dead, and anger came out also. I showed you all who the real me was. And I hope that you all keep this dear to your heart. LOVE Onika!
*Salutes Nation of Pinkslam and pours Pinkle juice*
