Led by infectious singles ‘Pills N Potions,’ ‘Anaconda,’ and the recently unveiled/Drake, Lil Wayne, and Chris Brown-assisted ‘Only,’ the album will find itself on shelves December 15th.

In reference to the artwork, Minaj states:

“This is actually the #Deluxe cover. I’ll post the standard cover at a later date. #ThePinkprintAlbumCover thank u to the Kanye West team,” – Nicki Minaj

The “Kanye West team” referred to in the text above is his creative team DONDA.  Named in honor of his late mother, the group is also responsible for the album art of Lil Wayne’s ‘I Am Not a Human Being II’ and more.

    The cover is very plain but it’s cute don’t judge the album by just looking at the cover people wait for the album to come out and hear the music first.

  2. Unbiased November 2, 2014

    Is that it?
    She should just change the album title. Because mediocrity like ”Only’ and ‘Anaconda’ do not belong on an album referencing/homaging Jay-Z’s classic ‘Blueprint’.

    • LIL’ KIM IS THE G.O.A.T. November 3, 2014

      I am happy Flopnika Garbaj named it after Jay-Z’s greatest album. Now people will see that Flopnika is a pretender to the throne and that the female Blueprint was already made by the true Queen of Rap Lil’ Kim. The female Blueprint is HARDCORE!

  4. Lil Wayne stan November 3, 2014

    Meh, I feel like Kanye team could have did a better job, but who cares she’s going kill it. Iggy is screwed she’s releasing her album the same day as Slim Shady.

  5. Bella November 3, 2014

    Mhmm, yeah. She should change the name to “The Purple Print”.

  6. Molly November 3, 2014

    • NICKI IS QUEEN November 3, 2014

      • Molly November 3, 2014

  7. TheElusiveLamb November 3, 2014

    It is very simple, w/o being boring. She did the right thing by going ghost and letting the material be more interesting than the cover. I like it.

      • TheElusiveLamb November 3, 2014

  12. Cookie November 3, 2014

  13. Realest November 3, 2014

  14. Mo November 3, 2014

      Qween!!!

  17. Rita Is Queen November 3, 2014

    I can only imagine how basic the album will be. *sigh*

  18. LIL’ KIM IS THE G.O.A.T. November 3, 2014

    Flopnika Garbaj is going to fail with this Pinkslip album. She is not even going to make it to gold in sales (unless Birdman’s payola helps her out).

    • LOL November 3, 2014

      You’re so pressed its hilarious. You talk about going gold yet you’re here saying Piggy is better! Seethe at Nicki’s success. When was the last time Lil K***’ has gone gold? WAY back so STFU!

      • LOL November 3, 2014

        K unt

  19. GEEZUS November 3, 2014

    This is the deluxe edition

  20. Jay November 3, 2014

    I love how ya’ll think this is basic, but won’t saying s*** when Beyonce dropped her album that was a black background & 7 pink letters. Was ya’ll screaming “BASIC!!” then? I didn’t think so.

    • Really?! November 3, 2014

      Bey’s s*** came as a surprise with a video for every track…Not Three flop singles, quit reaching!

    • Twitter: @OnikaBoss November 5, 2014

      LMAO, preach.

  21. I stan for Queen Nicki November 3, 2014

    Death @Lil Kim is the G.O.A.T, It’s here seething over a deluxe edition? I wonder how it’s goin to be when Nicki drops the standard version. Nicki’s work got them Kim’s stans hypervating!?! Cute artwork btw

  22. No Name November 3, 2014

    It was plain… makes sense for the title.
    All of her album had her face on it.
    I’m expecting her b*** too…. LoL

  23. zolabn November 3, 2014

    wow, onika got them seething over a deluxe, this is a perfect artwork, I’m an artist and this is very excellent, this is perfect

  24. LOL November 3, 2014

    I don’t Understand how you flop stans can attempt to drag an album cover which is not THE album cover, it’s the deluxe, we don’t know what the standard looks like so stay quiet. Worry about your fave’s new album, oops you can’t. ☕️

    • truth (icki is the QWEEN OF PUSHBACK!! Iggy got her scuured honey. #IckiAFlop) November 3, 2014

      Fu ck u

  25. Ronnie November 3, 2014

    I find it weird how people are saying how basic and simple this is. The album is called the pinkprint, the cover art is a pink print. Makes sense. What did everyone expect/want it to be?

    • truth (icki is the QWEEN OF PUSHBACK!! Iggy got her scuured honey. #IckiAFlop) November 3, 2014

      Girl hush

      • Really?! November 3, 2014

        lmao!!!

      • Ronnie November 3, 2014

        Nicki a flop but both her albums went platinum and Iggy’s can’t even go gold. Okay.

  26. truth (icki is the QWEEN OF PUSHBACK!! Iggy got her scuured honey. #IckiAFlop) November 3, 2014

    The struggle honey kii

  27. Lil kim the crypt keeper November 3, 2014

    Slay them Onika!

  28. ontherun November 3, 2014

    Its simple but effective

  29. rose gold November 3, 2014

    at first glance, I was like blah . Then, when I took an other look, I thought, this could be special. A fingerprint. Plus it’s very artistic.Black background would have been better and stood out more. The thumb print can look like it was pushed underor rolled out. Art like this can sell for a lot in years to come if it makes sense. Hopefully the work inside is classic cuz really that’s all that matters at this point
