Nicki Minaj Announces New Album Release Date

Published: Tuesday 22nd Nov 2011 by Rashad

As reported here, Cash Money CEO Birdman revealed that Young Money protege Nicki Minaj would see the ‘Pink Friday’ follow-up on shelves in the ‘first quarter’ of 2012.  Undoubtedly sending barbs and Ken barbs into a frenzy, the album – titled ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded’ – will certainly get much love from fans who awaited news on its debut date.

Taking to Twitter to make the announcement, you can find out when Minaj will unveil the first copies of ‘Friday’ after the jump:

As Minaj has mentioned previously, the follow-up to her multiplatinum 2010 debut will see much more of (one of the many) famed alter ego Roman Zolanski.  Read more on that here.

  21. yasss November 22, 2011

    WE WINNING!

  22. Those That Cannot Do, Stan November 22, 2011

    Roman is the one (of many) who kills on a track! Looks like Nicki is up for straight butchering 2012!

    Have to admit I’m looking forward to it. I was getting a bit tired of listening to her old material but it looks like Nicki will be on everyone and their Momma tracks real soon.

    Don’t mention Kim on this post. It ain’t about her, when she does something for 2012 we can comment on her post then.

  23. JER November 22, 2011

    Is it a re-release or a new album? It’s a horribly misleading title

  24. Kayla November 23, 2011

    Pink Friday was trash.I’am not looking forward to this album.

  25. HaterzStayPressed November 23, 2011

    Nicki is a real n**** all day and tomorrow! That ish is going to be bananas!!! Nicki Minaj got the game on LOCK and the lessors will DEAL. Go ahead girl and take the game to new heights. I think Pink Friday: Roman’s Reloaded will be like a remix album from Roman’s perspective. Maybe we’ll finally see a video for Roman’s Revenge!! I’m sure YMCMB/Universal will throw their weight behind Nicki for the first quarter of the year.

    Go Nicki!

  26. deontay November 23, 2011

    OH HELL 2 THE FUCKKIN YEEEEEEEEES!!! THIS WILL B IN MY CD PLAYER,ON MY IPOD AND IN MY HEAD THE DAY OF RELEASE!!! THIS CHICK IS BOUT 2 STRAIGHT MURDER THESE BITCHRS THAT BEEN HATTIN SINCE THE PINK FRIDAY RELEASE!! AND PINK FRIDAY:ROMAN RELODED? IT’S IGHT BUT SHE COULD HAVE WENT WITH THE RISE OF ROMAN OR I WAS EXPECTIN SOMETHIN LIKE I AMROMAN,WATCH ME SPEAK! BUT IT’S IGHT!!
    @QUEENSIZE..I DIDN’T MATTER WHEN U WERE ON OF THE FEW THAT DIDN’T BUY IT THEN AIND U AIN’T GOTTA BUY IT NOW!! POINT. BLANK. PERIOD!
    BUT THIS IS GONNA B HOT,CAN’T WAIT FOR THAT FIRST SINGLE. AND BTW,REALLY THINK ABOUT IT,ONE OF THE MAIN REASONS PINK FRIDAY WENT CRAZY WAS BECAUSE OF ROMAN’S REVENGE. NOW THIS ENTIRE CD IS GONNA B FIELD WITH THAT MOOD. AND YEAH,THAT MEANS “THROWIN SHOTS”,SPEAKIN MINDS && EXC…BUT YALL GONE TALK S*** BOUT HER REGARDLESS SO SUCK ON ONE! AND YALL HATERZ DID THIS TO YALL SELF,YALL LET ROMAN OUT AND HERE HE IS! LMFAO*EVIL LAUGH*

  27. jennifer November 23, 2011

    @DEONTAY Shut you f#ggot @ss up.If Nicki burb on a track y’all Nicki fans would think it’s the hottest line ever.Y’all Nicki fans are so easily impressed,it’s pathetic.Pink Friday was garbage.Kei$ha album was more hip hop than that.

  28. I’ma have to send her back to her maker November 23, 2011

    Nope. Kesha is pop. She does rap. But if kesha was more hiphop she would be recognized by rap vets like jay z, mc lyte, da brat, etc. But she’s not. Nicki is. This means nicki is a smart business woman and taking hiphop to a different level. Whether you like it or not, hiphop has to evolve. It may not evolve the way you like it but it does evolve. I admit not all hiphop 2000 and so forth has been fine wine but nicki has a certain touch and flavor about her that is undeniably irresistable. Even her haters cannot get enough of her. I don’t see attitude against this girl. She is just making fun music just like any other artist. She writes her own stuff and her metaphors are crazy. She got punchlines for days. She has serious songs too like Moment for life, still I rise, dear old nicki but she wants to make music ppl can party too as well. What’s wrong with that? Not everyone will like her lyrics but damn, just let her have her success.

  29. YOOSONDALOOSE November 23, 2011

    Not feeling the title, hope it is not a re-release.
    Nicki is so talented at rapping though, will be buying!
    Cannot wait for a new song!

  30. FEMME FATALE November 23, 2011

    MEH, SOUNDS LIKE THE FIRST ALBUM…IS IT A RE-RELEASE!?

    2012 IS YEAR OF THE NOTORIOUS K.I.M

  31. MUSICISME November 23, 2011

    That album title is as uninspiring as her music….

    She needs to sit down and have a coke…

    When is she retiring?

  32. ARYO November 23, 2011

    when is the first single coming?

  33. JoJo November 23, 2011

  37. NYC-Superstar November 23, 2011

    I hope the title changes later like with most early album titles..other than that Im excited.

  38. edubb November 23, 2011

    I DIDN’T WANT TO DO THIS BUT….

    LIL KIM WILL ANNOUNCE HER OWN IMPRINT IRS/UMG UNDER UNIVERSAL MUSIC @ THE TOP OF THE YEAR 2012. PER A&R @JAYWANINC, I HAVE GOING TO HIS TWEETS, & HE HAS SAID THAT THE DEAL IS DONE, IT’S JUST NOT VALID TIL ’12. KIM EVEN SAID ON HOT 97, SHE HAS AN ‘INTERESTING DEAL, WITH AN “INTERESTING LABEL”, SO NICKI & KIM, WILL BE LABELMATES, BUT KIM WILL HAVE A DEAL LIKE RICK ROSS’S MMG.

  39. KAT DELUNA FAN November 23, 2011

    another pop album

    lol
    hold my judgement

  40. lola November 23, 2011

    Nicki has an ear for music, so I’m sure the beats will be hot. Her verses as Roman are always really good, so hopefully we’ll see more of a hip-hop heavy side of Nicki. I don’t like the Pink Friday in the title though. She should have just named the album “Roman Reloaded.”

  41. >Turn me on. November 23, 2011

    ARYO if everything go,s as planed it will be next month,she will be dropping the single next month.

  42. Josh November 23, 2011

    Mmmm yess!
    Romans Revenge is my f****** SONG! Hope she brings the heat, she better go HARDDDD, i love nicki!!
