Boasting guest appearances from Drake, J. Cole, Lil Wayne, Lil Uzi Vert, and Future as well as production from big names like Finneas, ATL Jacob, Boi-1da, Murda Beatz, and others, the 22-track opus comes as Minaj’s first studio effort since ‘Queen’ conquered the Billboard 200 in 2018.

Madonna once famously declared “The most controversial thing I’ve ever done is to stick around.”

And as her ‘Celebration Tour’ danced into London again this week and that soundbite blared through the speakers, those words proved more resonant than ever.
