On February 14th, Nicki Minaj‘s sophomore album ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded’ was set to hit stores worldwide.
Now, in an unexpected turn of events, the Rapper has pushed the LP’s release date back, announcing the news online minutes ago.
Full story below…
She explained on Twitter:
New Album Date: April 3rd. Pink Friday: ROMAN RELOADED. But have no fear. Tons of surprises before then
. Love Always, HB.
Sure to rub some sects of her fan base the wrong way, this news comes hours after her latest video ‘Stupid Hoe‘ emerged here.
Let’s hope that this new date will see Team Minaj tighten up their promo to ensure the LP generates the attention it needs to move big units, out sell any major competitors and take any of its supporting singles to #1.

I see her team is taking into the consideration of the success of Nicki’s Pop tunes #TurnMeOn and #SuperBass….
Over the fails of #RomanInMoscow & #StupidHoe… Realizing ppl are sick of the Lil Kim disses.
Hell should have just called #TurnMeOn the lead single from the #PinkFriday Re-Release. But glad for more Ester Dean assisted Pop tracks from Nicki!

I figured she wasn’t going to release the album in February without there being a video out and “Stupid Hoe” just coming out last month.

Fuck off bitches she smart, just like she always been…she pushed it back right???
1. Super bowl w/madonna
2. New song at grammys(not RIM, SH, OR VVV)
3. Visit to the UK
4. Pink Friday tour
ALBUM RELEASE
by then she would have found more beats, recorded more, prepared more and the album will SMASH…just watch

Cuz those singles flopped. Record labels like release early or on time believe me. Delayed checks sometimes bounce.

“stupid hoe” is easily nicki’s worst song. i have no idea why she made a video for it. i knew this release was gonna get pushed back, not enough promotion and hype for it outside stanbase. if “va va voom” or the new song at the grammys arent good then im done.

Nicki is trash her style is garbage & her music is trash. Stupid Hoe that what I would call Nicki. The video was a waste of time she should have kept doing porn or video girls because her rapping is shit. Now Lil Kim old school can rap and Nicki had the nerve to put down the real Queen Lil Kim.
Nicki if you are reading this, you went out of you way to diss Kim. KARMA is a bitch. Now Kim come and get what’s yours. Also waiting I’m waiting for Eve.

I expected this. Nicki was not ready for Feb. 14 release. Nothing was in place for such a quick release. She billed Stupid Hoe and Roman In Moscow as buzz singles, but that wouldn’t leave anytime for VVV anytime to get the singles treatment. Besides, people would have confused the buzz singles as actual singles, which wouldn’t have been received well.
Pushing it to April 3 was a good idea. This allows her to build up the correct hype. Superbowl, Grammy, Buzz Singles/Videos, and more! The only thing I worry about is the upcoming competition. The biggest benefit for a Feb. release was the limited competition.
With Pink, Ke$ha, No Doubt, Usher, and Madonna coming out soon there will be some heat in the kitchen. And I’m putting my eggs in Pink and Ke$ha’s basket.

I’MA have to send her to her maker,kim is just simply waiting for nicki to drop her new album so she can try to ride nickis wave again.like what she did with that think she called black friday mixrtape,i bet that as nicki drops PFRR kim will drop hers soon ofter..i bet she is p!ss now how nicki push her album back it put a monkey rinch in kims plans but she will wait..what a sad b!tch no wonder some of her fans are mega hateful and is blaming nicki for kims wrong decision and countless f-ck ups..kim was f-ck way before nicki came to mainstream..but nicki is the only one they are seeing so they blaim her for kim me/sses.
