"This is one of the craziest things we’ve ever captured. Yall plz look at this.”

Nicki Minaj announces Pink Friday 3 instead of Pink Friday 2 Deluxe

On September 16, 2024, Nicki Minaj took to X to announce that instead of doing a Deluxe version of her album Pink Friday 2, she decided to do a brand new album. In her tweet, Minaj stated:

"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."

The tweet came after it was announced in August 2024 that the Pink Friday 2 deluxe album would drop on September 13, 2024. Hinting at the newly announced album, Minaj also wrote:

"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."

The rapper stated that she would want to honor the same project by giving it the respect and integrity it deserves. She added that she wanted to be "certain" about every single decision being made around Pink Friday 2 and Pink Friday 3 albums.


"Could you guess who she works for?" — Nicki Minaj comments on fired assistant

On September 19, 2024, Nicki Minaj took to X to complain about an employee and raised concern over privacy breach. Talking about a food delivery, the rapper mentioned that the person who ordered it didn't ensure that Minaj's name remained anonymous. This resulted in the restaurant sending a message to her on the delivery bag. Expressing her discontent, the rapper tweeted:

"Thank God I don’t eat the food in this place. Imagine seeing this written on a brown paper bag. Why would a person placing an order say who it’s for? Odd? Or?"

One of her fans suggested her to re-evaluate her team, to which Minaj responded by saying:

"Oh she was fired last leg but was mysteriously hired again! Hmmmm could you guess who she works for?"

Minaj added that she wasn't aware that the employee had still been hired until the incident. Fans speculated that Minaj was seemingly taking a dig at Cardi B again, however, neither of the rappers reacted to it.


In other news, Nicki Minaj also commented on the controversy surrounding Kendrick Lamar as the 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show headliner instead of Lil Wayne. She took to X on September 9, 2024, to express her discontent with Jay-Z regarding the matter. Minaj alleged that a "young black man" was denied of his rightful place for no reason but Jay-Z's ego.
