De’Von Pickett, 29 was fatally stabbed outside the Che Bar and Grill Tuesday night. His friend and fellow Minaj tour employee, Eric Parker, 26, was also stabbed several times in his left arm and torso, but cops expect him to survive.

Minaj herself broke the grim news in a tweet Wednesday.

“Two members of my team were stabbed last night in Philly,” the “Anaconda” singer wrote. “One was killed. They have only been there for two days rehearsing for the tour.”

Police told Bossip that an argument inside the dive bar sparked the deadly confrontation.

Police described the suspect as a light-skinned man, about 30 years old, 5’8, slim with a full beard. Witnesses said the stabber was wearing a black and gray jacket when he fled the stab scene in a dark gold Buick LeSabre.

De’von and Eric served as a road managers to several hip-hop artists including Pusha T, K. Michelle, Rihanna, and was a close friend of Fabolous’.
