We hate to report when a life gets senselessly stolen. Right now, Nicki Minaj’s camp is mourning the loss of two of their own. De’Von Pickett and Eric Parker were stabbed last night during a bar confrontation in Philadelphia’s Che Bar & Grill. Parker, 27, is still in critical condition, but Pickett, 29, passed away from his injuries. They were only in town for two days to rehearse for Nicki Minaj’s tour. Nicki took to her social media accounts with a heavy heart to announce the tragedy.
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.

Fabolous, who is friends with both Pickett and Parker, also publicized his condolences.
Our thoughts are with the two men and their families, and hopefully Parker makes a speedy recovery.
