August 10th 2018.
The date above is marked in the calendar’s of the millions who call themselves Nicki Minaj fans as it will deliver her next album ‘Queen.’
Unfortunately, it now seems that the handling of the album’s campaign is causing some division and disension in the ranks.
Complaints and compliments below…
The majority Minaj’s supporters were elated to learn that she is to support her new album with a joint-tour (partially powered by the artist Future) and new jams with Lil’ Wayne and Ariana Grande.
Alas, there are some who took to Twitter to feel that they fear her new music and the strategy she’s employed to promote it aren’t befitting of her ‘Queen’ title.
“Queen” visuals are messy and all over the damn place just like every Nicki album cycle. we love staying true to form!

Sis please tell me you will be touring Australia??! ???? ive been waiting for so long to see you live! And also, why a joint tour with Future though?? I thought it was an all arena #queentour with you only! ?

Ok so ive gotta say. I am not feeling this! The song is Ok but not grand nicki! I hope the track is not on the album. Plus idk why she going on a joint tour with future! I thought it was an all arena solo tour!! ? i hope Bed is better!

Stop lying. We’re pissed the fuck off, don’t nobody listen to future mumble in a microphone. We want to hear Nicki doing what the others can’t do.

First of all, if you don’t buy her music/haven’t been to her concert before, exit stage left. ?? Secondly I’m entitled to my opinion. Third, it’s my money that I make, meaning I spent can spend it how ever I feel like. Still want a solo tour pic.twitter.com/ROtc3zheTR

Nicki Minaj is about to be 4 tracks deep into this new era and I haven’t been able to get into any of it. ? pic.twitter.com/iR0k4JnNpl

Their biggest criticism? Their feeling that touring with Future does more for him than it does for her and that her new aesthetic is “all over the place.”
Fortunately, there are many who disagree.
@NICKIMINAJ baby you're giving me everything I need in this era, thanks for filling this space. You've worked so hard on this masterpiece, and I know that every effort will be recognized. you deserve the best.

She is a “CLOWN”, who thinks she can lighten her skin to look almost white then when that does not work — she’s brown again….and selling s*** pics. Girl your music is trash and corny now and its all about CARDI who actually makes fun interesting music…….If NIcki thinks she can Disrespect Cher and Mariah…..she can’t
@China – Cardi makes fun and interesting music eh? Cardi is a RAT and a H-O. She raps about effing and selling it so spare me this crap about Cardi B being great.
#Not In Any Lifetime
@super nicki has a song where she brags about dating and having sèx with drug dealers because they give her money and keep her in designer clothes. They’re in the same lane except nicki is fake and makes up stuff and cardi is real and honest about everything. A real bïtçh vs a fake corny one
@Jasmine – How long ago was Nicki’s song and THANK GOD Nicki is FAKE or CORNY in this regard. Who in heck thinks that GLORIFYING being a H-O is cool? Oh yeah, stupid Cardi B fans like YOU, but in the same breath will shake your head and wag your finger at a IG H-O.
#Puh-Lease
#Nicki’s Good
@super how long ago? Her last album. You don’t remember? Lol most ppl don’t but yes it was the song she was on the cover basically naked in Jordan’s. She a hoeeeee too- no she a wannabe hoeeee which is even worse. Corny, fake and way too old. Just stop it
@super and for the record I don’t like cardi either. I just speak facts. Sorry
@Jasmine – Nicki’s not a “wanna be” h-o. Jesus Christ you really need a life. You have a hard on for ALL THINGS NICKI and it PAINS YOU to see this woman working. Newsflash, she’s not going to stop working or roll over and die just because you people don’t like her.
#Get Over It
#Hahahaha
@Jasmine – You like Cardi. Anytime you stated that Card is “real” and that’s why you like her then you’ve already outed yourself. Cardi is thief, h-o with an identity, mindset and appearance of a h-o. Let’s just SPEAK FACTS. Again, all the things you proclaim are PROBLEMS: not writing lyrics, thievery of image and disgusting attitude Cardi EMBODIES. She’s trash but let you people tell it she’s the Lion King.
#hahaha
#Stop It
Nicki supposedly doesn’t write lyrics – it’s a problem. Cardi DOES NOT WRITE AND STEALS OTHER PEOPLE FLOW AND LYRICS but it’s NO problem. On and on I can go. I can’t with you people. Just say you hate Nicki and then you can jump off her c*** dude.
#I SPEAK FACTS
#YAWN – YOU PEOPLE ARE BORING ME
All I said was cardi keeps it real, which she does. Nicki does not. She’s fake corny and pretends like she’s a heaux or that she’s a lèsbian when she’s none of the sort. She’s a corny Braun from queens that made a song saying “füçk skinny bïtches” when in reality without her aśš implants, brèast implants, injections and pads she is naturally a skinny girl- so she’s saying fück her true self- SHES CORNY!
@Jasmine – Cardi’s disgusting aka “keeping real” and glamorizing a H-O’s lifestyle. Again, don’t down these Insta H-O’s when you praise Cardi’s ratchet identity and behavior, all of which are a mix of OTHER PEOPLE’S image and her NATURAL H-O-ISM. Nicki is Nicki and she’s been the same since she came on the seen. Cardi has had work done too so that’s a non-factor. You’re grasping at straws trying to turn this wet rat into the Lion King because IT-AIN’T-GONNA-HAPPEN.
#Cardi’s Corni – You’re Correct
@Jasmine Da Bi Asian NOT Trashmine or TROLLmine
EXACTLY
@Barb.. – Nope. You are glorifying a H-O but in the same breath try SHAME women who are on IG trying to land a LAME EFFER with money. Which God are you serving? Looks like you are raising up DEVILS like the Hebrews did the Golden Calf. Cardi AIN’T a god or representation of ANYTHING POSITIVE so GTFOOH with that Nicki is the devil, lame etc when if YOU and CARDI were really honest she’s a LAME.
She steals lyrics, flows and looks but she’s REAL and “honest?” Get real girl because the lies you are telling yourself make you look like a real dumb@**.
#Sad Truth
I’m not the biggest Nicki fan, but will take her over Cardi B any day. Cardi is the next Iggy Azalea. After her first album, she’s gonna fall off because all she does is stay on social media “clapping back” at haters. They made her too famous too fast.
It’s called lighting and make-up for all the dumb asses that think damn near every black female celebrity is bleaching their skin. I’ve seen several black female artist pics and some they look lighter and then I see others and they look darker. It’s the same with myself some pics I look lighter and some I look darker.#WISENUPPEOPLE
Wack album wack visuals as usual
An Egyptian album art and then a tour with future… ok girl
Her era is a mess honestly no hate or shade just PURE facts. She’s been acting like she about to drop a “ CLASSIC “ to which the word has been thrown away too loosely these days or the greatest female album since Miseducation. Like Nicki let the people determine that by whether it has impact and importantly longevity of your quality which sadly isn’t shaping up to be.
Exactly… the people always use to determine or declare titles. 9 times out of the 10, the person self proclaiming is usually always off on their interpretations.
Her fans can’t dispute it either cause it’s true and if ya continue to be ignorant she’ll never truly grow as artist cause ya support the b******* rather instead of challenging her artistry.
she hyped up this era and dissapeared for half the year only to come back unorganized and all over the place. Honestly what was the point of waiting this long for what she herself called a ‘classic hiphop’ era only for her next single to feautre ariana grande. This album was supposed to cement her as a ‘Queen’ yet shes leaning on future fans to help fill up those arenas and putting out throwaway songs like Barbie Tingz and Rich S**. As a fan I’m dissapointed in her and her teams lack of clear direction and management
People need to understand… we are also in a time where you either PUT UP or SHUT UP… she talking entirely too much. IMO, her singles released last spring after the #Shether diss was MUCH better. Like #LIT fr…
B****…did nas clear that etha record.. no…. but I broke Aretha record
Nicki really is a one trick pony. She gives the same lyric content, visuals and music every single time. No growth which is why she still has no classics
My biggest problem is her album cover or title does not match the music she’s putting. It just seems all over the place. Even the features she’s picking. Is album going be any different than the pink print???
Cmon nicki work on your crafting and cohesion
Well.. I think you guy know why she REALLY named the album #QUEEN.. .. it definitely wasn’t in reference to any of the singles or tracks on the album… . .. thats where shes f****** up now. And the people can see it.
And you would think after her seeming her last album the equivalent of Jay Z’s “the blueprint”, which it was the furthest thing from, she’d chill on the premature labeling of her albums.
*deeming
can we stop with the “articles” that are solely composed of random tweets?
Who are these random people tweets you’ve chosen to feature in this article? Their opinions hold no weight, I love everything thing about this era and so do my friends that are fans and will be sitting front row at the nickihedrix tour.
UR opinion holds as much wait as these random tweets lmfao #None
@Jasmine – As does yours
#ZERO Power
#Don’t Ever Forget It
I mean, for it to have been delayed for a year and 7 months I just hope it’s as amazing as she says. Hopefully it sounds more like “Chun-Li” and a lot less like “Rich S**.”
Gorgeous QUEEN. None of these haters are sh*t, UGLY and mad.
LMAOOOO ? ? ? ?
They are ALL CORRECT. The other tracks did nothing for me. So just based off the title “Rich S**”… I knew it was about to be some Litty .. but smh. Its whack. No hate, but its whack. Smh. Sounds like a album filler. Idk.. lol. But I think it may be safe to say shes no longer the “ONLY ONE” amongst the elite. She’s definitely in population now. I don’t see this album doing big numbers at all.
UR right TOOTH is a filler.
The album isn’t even out yet. What are y’all even talking about?
She can rap but sis can’t make hits. PERIOD!!
Superbass / Starship / Anaconda / Moment for life / Pound the alarm / Felling myself / Only and more ?
SMH All those songs are pop where is the real hip hop
YAS @Mr.StLaurent …Right Through Me / Beez in the Trap / Check on It / Feeling Myself / Did it on Them / Roman Reloaded
I think this post is unnecessary. All you have done is essentially created another Nicki Minaj hate post where all her haters can gather together and seethe. Nicki Minaj has nothing left to prove.
Look. I’m the female jay…and my tour’s be selling out on pre. Sale day
The following people on this Post can ? nixx a** #1 to 30
She went from Asian to Ancient Egyptian in one roll out of a new album. I’m so confused. I’m not even being shady at all.
lol I didn’t even notice that! Lawd, Done Li is trying everything AND the kitchen sink hunnie! ?
if nicki raps about chun li one more time…
I’ll be here to watch her fans babble about how she’s the so called queen of pop/rap with ballads & no hit singles!! She’s the queen of Pop/Rap!!??♂️
First off don’t tag yourself Queen, let it be the fans that give it to you. Secondly, the album art doesn’t depict a queen, rather a cameleon that is pouching on a tree waiting for it’s next prey. Chun li and Barbie things are good but didn’t quite bring it as expected. I expected a song with anaconda momentum. Rich s** …blah! Lil Wayne falls short too. Can’t wait for the album though, just to hear what she has to offer
The criticism is VALID. She RUSHED to release Chun-Li and Barbie Tings a week after Cardi dropped her album and it SHOWED. An Artist of her Caliber and Status in the industry should’ve been rolling out a Single WITH VIDEO the same day the fact that the visuals weren’t ready for the song release showed it was a rush job then the Barbie Tings song was WEAK and so was the video. It was better off as just an album cut. Chun Li song and video was a BOP but would’ve had way more of an explosive impact on the charts if released the same day also the album cover should’ve been linked in style to the first video release and the fact that she gave an album release date and then pushed back also showed the album was not finished and ready for a properly thought out release again SLOPPY and RUSHED. i think she rushed to do all this because she spent too much time listening to the noise when she should’ve blocked it all out and focused on quality solid music which she has shown time and time again she’s capable of. Also think the song “Rich S**” should’ve been a filler album cut and this joint tour doesn’t seem to fit the narrative of a QUEEN if that was the album title and theme i think a Solo Spotlight was fully needed for the accompanying tour. I blame only part of these issues on her as an Artist but clearly her Team is also asleep at the wheel or not able to logistically reason with her to act within her own best interest. It happens all the time in this industry and I think it’s happening now with her.
Her music is selling, so her team must be doing something right.
