Nicki Minaj marks 'return to music' with new announcement

Nicki Minaj, who is known for her chart-topping raps, is expected to return with a bang as she teased something special coming up in a cryptic update.

As the 42-year-old singer was requested to drop a new album, it appears Nicki is finally on her way to fulfil her fans' wish.

The Girl On Fire rapper took to her X (formerly Twitter) to update Barbz with a date: “3.27.26,” adding a shiny CD emoji, which signals new music after a brief hiatus.

As soon as the news was shared, the online community erupted with cheers as they celebrated the return of “real rap.”

A die-hard admirer noted: “And when the world needed u most… u APPEARED,” while another shared their excitement for “another tour” coming up.

However, a netizen pointed out: “You seen the state of female rap and decided to do what you do best, SAVE IT,” seemingly dissing the latest release of Cardi B.

A fan gushed about the announcement: “GIRL YOU BETTA NOT BE PLAYING WITH US.”

Nicki’s album and tour have been highly anticipated by her fans, who are looking forward to the new projects as many jokingly are already saving up beforehand.

When was Nicki Minaj's album released?

Her latest record Pink Friday 2 created a great buzz among fans after its release in December 8, 2023.
