April 3rd will mark the release of ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded‘, Nicki Minaj‘s latest LP.
So, as to whet the appetites of her loyal ‘Barbz‘, today saw the release of its explosive front cover.
In line with her light, bright and dangerous theme, the cover’s debut follows the release of budding hit ‘Starships‘ and fan favorite ‘Roman Reloaded’.
More below…
While some may question its overtly colorful look, we can’t but commend it.
Because, there is no doubt that its ‘popping’ aesthetic will make it impossible to ignore once it hits outlets, which is- of course- the ultimate goal.
Here’s to hoping ‘Roman Reloaded’ lives up to it’s enormous hype and cements her status as Pop’s most exciting debutante, by way of sales and sound.

This is a whole album about Roman but this is the cover? Not what I expected to be honest.
I always lover her album covers Its a bit childish But The Face loooooooooks Amazing
That comical album should be released on April !st (fools day). This is so childish. niki grow up!!!! stop trying to attract the children with your creyola colors.
Nicki is no longer my cup of tea but good luck to her with the album & her continue foray into the pop world.
This is a great cover!
I guess Nicki will continue her hip pop crusade with this album.
Raunchyyyy! hey.
its cute
I cant believe wiz khalifa got engaged to amber rose at http://bit.ly/otCOIh
HIDEOUS!!!! WTF is this…
I like all except the mug.. st8 trash
but i thought this album was about roman, you know dark twisted soul. not barbie. she should of used darker cover art. to colorful
All I gotta say is wtf!!!!!!!horrible..
Damn that’s cool, she looks really fierce there right in the face.
NICKI WILL TURN 30 YEARS OLD IN DECEMBER!
SMH
This is a whole hot s***** b*** b*** mess…something only the most deranged queens or 5 year olds could love.
roman reloaded sponsored by hello kitty, limited too, and silly bands
the b**** looked like she rolled in crayola and skittles. taste the rainbow! hahahahahah looks f****** HORRIBLE! LOLOLOLOL!
This is a hot mess and only Nicki’s ass kissing stans are gonna think this s*** is cute. This don’t even match the album theme, Roman is supposed to be very a dark alter ego and this is how the cover looks. This looks like the album should be called Martha Reloaded.
Now I see what Wayne meant when he said he isn’t impressed by Nicki..cause this looks so damn effortless.
no one in their right mind will be in the store and buy this !! NO way ! unless for his 3 Y.O twin kids !
i think she need a ” ONLY for kids” label , cuz i don’t see ppl who are above 20 Y.O buying it.
WACK !!!
*Plays LK – How many licks ? * !!
No this isn’t fitting the name if the album is about Roman then why is the cover looking like something Willow Smith would pull out of her ass?

i think she need a ” ONLY for kids” label
LMAO! that was funny.
She is seriously a laughing stock to true Hip Hop fans. Poor Biggie and Pac are rolling in they’re graves at the fact that people call this b**** the Queen Of Rap. *looks for A Remy Ma cd*.
the cover is not ugly or wack but l dont like it
No way.. I can not believe that this is gonna be called a Hip Hop album..like where is the real female mcs at. Remy!! Foxy!! Kim!! Damn it they asses need to come back and stop this b*******.
This looks like something Britney Spears would do.. I think its cute but not for a Hip Hop album..no sir.
This chick is going on 30 yrs. old and claiming she put female rap back on the map..and this is the s*** she does for her album cover. *Walks Out Of Post* #ImDone
Haterz, before you talk do research:
Roman is nicki’s ego…he is a gay LITTLE boy built out of range, as you hear he’s always talking s*** (“raggedy ass holes in your knee highs”, “talkin she the queen when she lookin like a lab rat”, “kiss my ass and my anys cause it’s finally famous”)…so with this CD being about roman, it makes perfect sense…imagine a scary movie with a killer child…he’s in school painting then stabs the next kid with the tip of the paint brush…look at nicki’s face…it’s like “I suggest you not to say anything” stare…it fits perfectly if you know the story behind roman… But anyways, I heard the deluxe edition comes with bonus sings and a mini movie about roman…can’t f****** wait…I can already see this CD is gibba b epic…f****** kill em nicki
Misread it StarShips is not on the album..and thank god for that.
This b**** got some loose screws in her brain..look at her face.
CALLINGALLHEARTS wait a min i am a hip -hop fan from the get go,but were in the rule book if there is one[show me the link to the rule book],it says a hip-hop album have to look a certain way,i guess someone should be on the front fcking a demon are holding a gun are the typical dark gritty back drop looking like a street that you would never let someone catch you on before dark,give me an example what a real hip-hop cover should look like….people saying they an,t going to get this because it,s not black enough and again show me in that rule book the methods of being black,i am black and it seems i am not black enough because i am one of them who likes this cover and some of her music.
@R2D2 I’m saying that it looks pop. point blank period. This cover is Hip Pop not Hip Hop.
Its cute but it does not really fit Roman..
This looks very childish and unprofessional.
I love it, its pretty cool. Hatas will hate.

@R2D2, huh?
Not a SINGLE person said what qualifies as hip hop or what does not. And NO ONE said anything about Nicki’s cover not “being black enough.”
Where did you get this?
What people ARE saying is that Nicki’s cover does not seem to line up her alter ego Roman, who comes across as a “darker” personae.
Your post is completely ridiculous.
See @ Kayla’s post for what you meant to say.
2R2D2 This album is supposed to be about Roman and it looks the opposite.
Only 5 year old girls and gay boys like this sh*t.
Well Nicki I gave you a chance but if you still putting out this pop s*** then no mam I cannot f*** with you on this.
I don’t like it. Dumb as hell. I’m getting fed up with nicki’s antics. I just wanna know is Roman Zolanski, her “alter-ego” a gay person or a gay CHILD? He certainly scribbles like a crazy child and doesn’t make much sense like one. Come on, nicki. We know you wanna be a funny and witty entertainer but most of this stuff from this album is worst than your previous album and a hot ass MESS. But with all that said, Good luck with this wack ass album.
MEL well the tracklist isn’t out yet so when it do,s come out you might see stuff you like.
I don’t like it at all. Just doesn’t look like s cover. The only thing that works for me is the side profile shot of her. The nose isn’t so distracting @ a side angle….
SMH..B**** STAY LOOKIN A FOOL!
JUST BECAUSE SHE WORKED WITH BRITNEY SPEARS, THE QUEEN OF POP, SHE THINK SHE CAN CROSSOVER & DO WATEVER!
I HOPE SHE KNOWS THE NEW AUDIENCE SHE’S TRYING 2 REACH LAUGHS AT HER & DOESNT TAKE HER SERIOUS.
SO JUST GO BACK 2 THE OLD NICKI,,CUZ THE NEW 1 IS BEYOND HORIBLE!!!!!!!!
I like it because its more raw compared to her first album.
I’m happy for her success she works hard.

I LUVT IT… GET EM NICKI !!!!
Horrible, looks like absolute S***
JUST A RANDOM QUESTION:
Y DOES SAM PROMOTE UNTALENTED GIMMICKS LIKE NICKI, WHEN THERES NOT ENOUGH BRTINEY POSTS!!
THIS MAKES ME SOO UPSET!!!!
I suppose some people will like it, some won’t (both nicki and non nicki fans) just because people label the album cover wack, don’t mean the album will be. let’s hear the album first before slating it…
This has to be fan made…. HORRIBLE

hope u liked it bro 😉
SMH. cheap. But it’s fitting.
NICKI IS MORE POP THAT HIP HOP REALLY SHE SHOULD BE CONSIDERED A POP ARTISTS THAT CAN RAP AS FAR AS IM CONCERNED
Looks very unprodessional and kinda cheap.
She needs to take several seats
It honestly looks like something a kid painted. It’s not bad, it just looks really juvenile. It looks like something a fan did and sent to her and she just decided she wanted it to be her album cover. Doesn’t look professional at all. I can see it as a single cover but its too bland as an album cover. Her last album cover was much better IMO.
Oh well, I’m not checking for the album anyway. Nothing she has done this era has impressed me. I’m sure her stans wil love it though, they seem to love everything she does.
HOT COVER. GORGEOUS
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=rDZ0fqBEsOY
this is such a d*** sucking ass blog. Get off her c***.
This is HOTMESS.COM in Tamar Braxton voice!!! LMFAO!!! FAIL FLOP!!! Her career is done!! This looks like grabage trash s***!!! Even Lil Kim album covers are hotter than this s***!!! LMFAO!!! S*** even all the female hip hop album covers are gangsta than this bubble gum crap of a s***** artist. Bye Nicki, you will be known as a bipolar idiot of a hip-pop artist!!! LMFAO!!!
@Kyle You was stanning for Nicki just couple months ago lmaooo
That is a fan made right ?
Thats a pretty dope cover.. especially compared to Kim’s “If U Love Me” t***** cover
Have u all considered that maybe Nicki did it like this to get u all talking? Haters included. Like she said ‘trust that I know what i’m doing all the time.’
BOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO!!!!! i just hate the words just looks random.. that bar is totally messing up the flow of the cover.. have more face and have a font thats cohesive..
Umm @ the person who posted this, you aren’t too smart or didn’t think before you posted:
“Poor Biggie and Pac are rolling in they’re graves at the fact that people call this b**** the Queen Of Rap. ”
Pac was laughing his ass off at lil’ Kim waaay back then! Just imagine the field day he would be having over Kim now !!! Hahahahhaha
LOVE THIS!!! Nicki will b a RAP icon…. rap b****** should thank her for makin them relevant again
@Tbozfan10 When did I mention Kim? I mentioned Remy.
If you don’t like Nicki don’t come and comment… Half of you say she will never be a success but the haters are actually the reason why she is so big. So thank
The album cover looks great.. As a fan I respect her creativity and her originality.
How do you judge an entire album off of a cover?
And Nicki is not just pop.. She is a diverse artist.
Hip- Hop
R&B
Pop
It’s like willow smith “Whip my hair”!
It’s unfortunate but Roman Reloaded will sell well regardless of its contents. Her fans will buy a minimum of 3 copies a piece.
TBOZFAN10 Co-Sign,bang bang.
hahaha i kind of like the cover she just needs to take out the letters and make the background all white, just my opinion!
She is not just a rap artist she also makes pop music and Roman isn’t jus dark he represents chaos that being said I’m not a fan of this album cover (i didn’t care for the pink Friday one either though.) I am a huge Nicki fan and am reallly excited bout the album. Haters should probably tone it down some Nicki Minaj is serving as the door for other female rappers @ the moment record labels are looking to see if she succeeds or not b4 they sign femcees she could very well be the revival that female hip hop has been waiting for. Secondly I dnt see not a one of u guys with any type of successful music career so how can u judge stfd with all that. She is writting her own raps (more than we can say for some others). Thirdly name another successful black female pop artist doin world tours and that has enjoyed Nicki’s level of success (not Rihanna) #DontWorryI’llWait
@COMMANDEROFTHEDANCEFLOOR
youre right.. its just busy.. sometime i hate s***** album covers where the either doing too much.. like this one.. or its lackluster.. like lady gagas.. an ugly cover didnt want to make me buy the album… ill itunes the songs.. or buy it and give it to someone else
Looks like Katy Perry’s album cover. Lol.
SUPER BASIC
this screams “fake barbie made in china”
Have to be honest, don’t like it.
But I love the music, so it’s okay!
Lmfao, I can’t. Onika is the girl from the projects that ended up in private school by being related to an employee then forgot where she came from after making rich white friends. I had high hopes for her on her Come Up days too … oh well.
I love this it’s very beautiful. and to the dumb ass b**** above who doesn’t know s*** bout nicki but the s*** he reads on these blogs and the internet need to find facts she will be 28 in December DUMB ASS BROAD.
Nicki stays copying someone…damn! http://lockerz.com/s/188861890
Copying Akon’s artist @JeffreeStar
Nicki is NOT original at ALL…its so sad now
@JA’MILA DIOR, lmao … that name. I know you’re not coming at me via internet comment?? I was gonna ignore it, BUT I don’t feel like it today. If you didn’t notice, what I wrote about your beloved Sellout Barbie was an analogy. You know, a comparison between two things, typically on the basis of their structure and for the purpose of explanation or clarification. I personally don’t give a f*ck how old she or her date of birth, but thanks though. Another thing, I don’t run my mouth based on misinformation … something that you seem to do quite well indicated by your overzealous stan-like comment. *Sigh* You (Ken) Barbs kill me, willing to go so hard for a girl –oh wait WOMAN (she’s actually 29, can’t forget the facts right?) who is clearly ditching you for the real Barbies and Kens … you know the blond hair, blue eyed suburban demographic. It’s pathetic but I mean, it’s fitting that delusion supports delusion. Anywho, I’m finished here. If anything I wrote offended you, that was the purpose; and if somehow someway your comment wasn’t directed towards me (“to the dumb ass b**** above” is pretty apparent though) I still don’t give a f*ck. Hope you enjoy the rest of your existence Ja’mila, maybe you and Onika can work together in the Mattel headquarters when her career self-destructs. Take Care.
I you never liked Nicki Minaj why come on hear when the title is “Album Cover: Nicki Minaj ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded’”. So if you don’t like her don’t waste your time.
Any who.. i love Nicki’s cover it’s creative original and Nicki and she loves her fans so much she let a really talented fan do her album work 🙂
And Roman is NOT a dark person… He is eccentric and gay..
But only dummies and haters don’t know
