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.

Minaj also posted a link to a TV report on the bar stabbings.
Police say a man started arguing with the victims inside the bar at about 2 a.m. and pulled a knife once they got outside.
Minaj says the stabbings are "another senseless act of violence that took the life of a great guy. "
Police are offering a $20,000 reward for information leading to an arrest.
