“The new album date for this incredible body of work, that I am so proud of is on a special day to me and to the Barbz — it will come out on my birthday,” said Nicki. “Pink Friday 2 I am so happy to announce will be out on my birthday.

Now Nicki this roll out is a mess. Imma still buy it tho.
“A crushing blow” is a bit much. She’s clearly letting her mentor have his shine, and she can do more promo or launch another single before then.
She wants a number one so desperately and knows she’d lose out to LOL Wayne. Ironic and strange that the two, who share a label, would schedule their albums for the same day.
I also sense miss Minge is upset her follow up singles to Ruby Da Red Sleaze haven’t done well. When she’s avoiding gimmicks and popular samples she struggles.
Not really Wayne released an album recently and it missed the top 30 she could’ve had a #1 album on that date it’s a highly anticipated album
@Vera
You’re saying this when She clearly started lil Wayne is the reason why she pushed it back this time so the delusion is unnecessary right now
This is her 2nd time pushing her release date back. This can’t be a good sign.
Queen of push backs
Smh i knew she was going to do this, those records she put out wasnt hitting at all they weren’t even sticking. It wud be so funny if cardi announced her album would be released on November 17th. Lol
Remember Nicki said she knows all so she got word about something going on so she pushed it back. But a third push back for an already established artist isn’t cute. Also she knew she would lose that battle with Wayne. Also pay attention her album gonna be platinum on week one. She gonna put every single she released in the last two years on it. That streaming gonna be a billion already
Lmao
It’ll flop no matter the release. How do you have an album coming in 4 weeks with no video for the lead single 😂😂😂
At this point how can her fans believe anything she says?
She spiraling. There’s no demand for her album or tour. Barbz can have streaming farms and help her chart for a week or such but selling tour tickets is an entirely different ballgame. Don’t forget her last tour was CANCELLED due to low ticket sales, and when’s the last time she headlined her own solo tour? It’s always attached to a male rapper. Nicki isn’t popping like that IN REAL LIFE….. good luck to her and her delusional Stan’s!
I actually think her tour will do decently. It just won’t make any top selling tour lists lol. Ticket prices will probably be affordable seeing how she isn’t known for big productions or stage presence. No shade , just saying!
Her rollout is messy asf Nicki was better off doing a surprise release.
The so called “queen” can’t even lock down an album release date. That seems more like peasant behavior than Queen behavior to me….
