NBC Philly reported that the argument between two of Nicki Minaj's road crew and the suspect inside the bar spilled over outside.

"We believe that both of the victims, as well as the perpetrator, were all inside of this bar and that's when an argument started," said Chief Inspector Scott Small told the website.

In the middle of their argument, the perpetrator pulled out a knife and started stabbing members of Nicki Minaj's road crew.

"Pickett suffered stab wounds in the torso while Reed suffered stab wounds to his left arm and left side," the police officer said.
