ESKIMO is Nicki Minaj's first feature following her 2024 world tour

The release of ESKIMO comes four months after Nicki Minaj wrapped up her world tour.

For the majority of 2024, Minaj was traveling across America and Europe for her Pink Friday 2 World Tour (Gag City World Tour), which kickstarted in March and concluded in October. The tour supported its namesake album, which shortly after its release on December 8, 2023, peaked the Billboard 200 album chart.

The Tukoh Taka rapper performed 79 shows during the tour, grossing over $108 million, making it the highest-grossing concert tour by a female rapper, according to Billboard.

Nearly a month after the tour's conclusion, Nicki Minaj announced on November 8, 2024, that she would be dropping a final deluxe installment of her fifth studio album, Pink Friday 2 - The Hiatus on the first anniversary of the album, December 13.

However, the deluxe edition never came on the announced date. According to a HotNewHipHop article (published on December 13), the reason behind it could be that the Tusa rapper was not clear about which songs would be included in The Hiatus. So far, no new date for the deluxe release has been announced by Minaj.

Before the announcement of The Hiatus, Nicki Minaj had tweeted about releasing a brand new album Pink Friday 3, in September, stating:

"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."

While the Barbie rapper promised an update on when her sixth album would be released within weeks, no announcement about it has come yet.
