Nicki Minaj shared some bad news with her fans on Sunday (September 15), but she immediately eased the sting with something much better. The 41-year-old Queen rapper revealed that she would no longer be releasing a deluxe edition of her most recent album, Pink Friday 2. Instead, she’s going to be putting together an entirely new album! Keep reading to find out more… Nicki explained her decision in a post on X (formerly Twitter). “Instead of doing a DELUXE to Pink Friday 2, I’ve decided to do a brand new album. I’ll still incorporate new songs like #Mamita & [The 'anxiety' song] for the remainder of the tour tho…and I’ll announce the new date within the next couple weeks. The new music is just too good to be thrown away on a deluxe album,” she explained. She continued, writing, “Last night, the songs I recorded were just way too iconic. I love you guys so much. You know that. I know you do. I’ll still give you something leading up to the announcement, so no worries.” “🎀 PF3 is about to do PRECISELY wtf BEEN needed to be done. TRUST ME BARBZ. IM SO EXCITED. BLESSED. LOVED (by the Barbz) & fortunately (for the Barbz & me), I’ve learned A LOT since 12/08/23.” The rapper thoroughly explained her decision to preserve Pink Friday 2 as it was: “PF2 means so much to me. As my 1st album as #PapaBear mama, it’s just very special to me for so many reasons you guys aren’t aware of. I put every song on there in a specific order, etc. So to honor that, I’m going to give it the respect & integrity it deserves as a beautiful body of work & not add anything else to it. 1 or 2 songs is no big deal but 5-7 songs feels a little sloppy right now (In my humble opinion). This era has just been so successful, rewarding, satisfying, etc. after much thought, I want to be for CERTAIN that I am being intentional about every single decision being made around both PF2 AND PF3.” Did you see that an artist recently dedicated their album’s success to Nicki? See how she responded. Dear Barbz, IMPORTANT #GagCity ANNOUNCEMENT: Instead of doing a DELUXE to Pink Friday 2, I’ve decided to do a brand new album. I’ll still incorporate new songs like #Mamita & [The “anxiety” song] for the remainder of the tour tho…and I’ll announce the new date within the next… — Nicki Minaj (@NICKIMINAJ) September 16, 2024
