Barbz beware…Nicki Minaj is releasing a deluxe edition of her fifth studio album Pink Friday 2. The album, released in December 2023, was Minaj’s first full-length album in five years.
The album is sample-heavy “Barbie Dangerous” interpolates Notorious B.I.G.’s “Notorious Thugs,” while “Pink Friday Girls” samples Cyndi Lauper’s “Girls Just Wanna Have Fun” and “Super Freaky Girl” samples Rick James’ “Super Freak,” according to HypeBeast.
There is no official release date for the new album, but that is not stopping the Barbz from making noise online.
Meanwhile, Nicki also announced that she is headed back out on tour. The Pink Friday 2 World Tour: Gag City Reloaded will kick off on September 4 in Philadelphia and close on October 11 in Nicki’s hometown of Queens, NY.
August 21st was a busy day for Nicki who also went on a rant throwing shots at who, some believe, were Ice Spice and JT. She also unfollowed both of them on Instagram.
“Don’t ask me about nobody,” she said in the voice message. “If you don’t see someone around me, don’t ask me about them. Go and talk to them,” she added. “The truth of the matter is that y’all don’t want to know the truth of the matter.”
