Nicki Minaj is shifting gears, deciding not to release a deluxe edition of ‘Pink Friday 2.’ Instead, she will treat fans to a completely new album.

She mentioned on X (formerly Twitter), “Dear Barbz, IMPORTANT #GagCity ANNOUNCEMENT: Instead of doing a DELUXE to Pink Friday 2, I’ve decided to do a brand new album.”
New Songs and Tour Plans
Fans won’t be entirely missing out, though. Nicki reassured her followers that she will still include new songs like ‘#Mamita’ and the ‘anxiety’ song in her ongoing tour.
She also promised to announce the new release date within the next couple of weeks, keeping her audience eagerly awaiting more details. The new tracks are deemed too iconic for a mere deluxe edition.
Music Too Good to Waste
