My amazing brother/boss, Lil Wayne AKA the GOAT, stepped up for me so I wouldn’t have to delay my album. Catch him tomorrow at the Chicago show. I’m STILL performing at the #Atlanta Jingle Ball on the 14th and now added to the lineup for the #Miami Jingle Ball on the 16th. Album STILL dropping this FRIDAY. Thank you. Love you,” Minaj shared on Twitter.
