Nicki Minaj breaks records with ‘Pink Friday 2’, becoming the best-selling female rap album of 2023

Nicki Minaj, esteemed as the rap queen, has returned and is prepared to reassert her dominance with her upcoming project, Pink Friday 2. This eagerly awaited album, scheduled for release on November 17, 2023, serves as a follow-up to her legendary first album, Pink Friday, which came out in 2010.

The Barbz, as Nicki’s fans are affectionately known, were given a taste of what’s to come with the release of the single “Last Time I Saw You” at the end of August. The track, which harks back to Nicki’s bubblegum pop roots, has only served to build more anticipation for the album.

In a recent surprise move, Nicki dropped off the second, vinyl-exclusive album cover for Pink Friday 2. The artwork, which features Nicki surrounded by billowing pink satin fabric, has a dramatic edge that contrasts with the surreal original. The pre-order link for the album on two different versions of vinyl was also released, and fans responded enthusiastically.

The news is already out that Pink Friday 2, even before its official launch, is reportedly the best-selling album by a female rapper this year. This remarkable achievement comes as no surprise, considering Nicki’s passionately committed fans and her unyielding promotion of the album.

In a bid to keep the momentum going, Nicki has shared plans to make every Friday Pink Friday ahead of the album’s release. Fans who’ve pre-saved the album can look forward to special surprises each Friday leading up to the big day.

“I’m so grateful to have you guys still here holding me down,” she told her fans last week. “This album is the gift for your continued love & patience. You’re going to see why this one is better than all of them combined. #PinkFriday2.”

With Pink Friday 2 already becoming the highest-selling female rap album of the year, it’s clear that Nicki Minaj is back in full force. Whether you’re a long-time Barb or a casual listener, this is one release you won’t want to miss.
