(Cover) - EN Showbiz - Britney Spears has confirmed Nicki Minaj will accompany her on her upcoming Femme Fatale tour.

Both Britney and rapper Nicki have openly spoken about how much they would like to work together, and earlier this week Nicki revealed their lawyers were in talks about a potential tour deal.

Britney has now confirmed they will team up for the series of shows, which will kick off in June. She made the announcement on her official website today and sounded suitably excited about the collaboration.

"This is the Femme Fatale tour and I'm thrilled to have the hot Nicki Minaj join me and Jessie and the Toy Boys and Nervo will get everyone on the dance floor," Britney wrote on her website. "Can't wait to take the Femme Fatales on the road (sic)."

Last month, the star announced that Enrique Iglesias was going to be her opening act while performing on American TV show Good Morning America. Hours later his spokesperson said that the Spanish singer wouldnt accompany Britney after all.

Nicki is currently touring the US with rapper Lil Wayne. (C) Cover Media
