Nicki Minaj hasn’t released an album in three years but her name is still ringing bells throughout the year. From her public break up with Meek Mill to her infamous feud with Remy Ma to her breaking Aretha Franklin’s record for female with the most entries on the Billboard Hot 100.
Now the rapper is gearing up for the highly-anticipated follow up to her 2014 The Pinkprint album. The hype around this nameless project is so real that even The New York Times’ T Magazine wanted the tea.
I know what this album is gonna mean to my fans. This album is everything in my life coming full circle and me being truly, genuinely happy. It feels almost like a celebration, she said. The last album, The Pinkprint, was almost like my diary, closing the chapter on certain things and not knowing if I was happy or sad about beginning new chapters. I was really writing about feeling unsure. Now, I can tell you guys what happened for the last two years of my life. I know who I am. I am getting Nicki Minaj figured out with this album and I’m loving her.
Nicki has been very tight-lipped about her forthcoming project but she promised that this new album will be “a billion times more epic than anything ‘Anaconda’ could have deliver”.
