On 'Pink Friday 2' Deluxe

Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2: Gag City Reloaded deluxe album is set to release on Sept. 13. Details are still under wraps, but she teased the official artwork over the weekend. 

“Let’s just say there were some songs that y’all love, but y’all have heard it because they were leaked for whatever reason. Do you guys still want those songs?” she asked her supporters on TikTok Live before noting the deluxe will consist of only a few additional records. “If I had to trim some fat, would you prefer that the songs you guys have grown to love, that you would have them on there? Or, if you had a choice, [would you] prefer nothing that you’ve ever heard before on there?”

“Also, there’s some surprise features on the deluxe,” Minaj shared elsewhere, though she didn’t reveal who. As Rap-Up previously reported, the Grammy-nominated musician initially intended to include only artists signed to her Heavy On It record label.

 

Pink Friday 2: Gag City Reloaded will arrive a week after Minaj’s “Pink Friday 2 World Tour” kicks off its second U.S. leg. It’s scheduled to begin at Philadelphia’s Wells Fargo Center on Sept. 4. Afterward, she’ll sweep through cities like Cleveland, Birmingham, Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami, and St. Louis, to name a few.

Joining her this time will be Tyga and BIA, the latter of whom made two appearances during the original trek’s Boston stops. During the first, she and Minaj performed “WHOLE LOTTA MONEY (REMIX),” while the second saw the pair unite with JT, Akbar V, Maliibu Miitch, and Katie Got Banz for “Super Freaky Girl (Queen Mix).”

In related news, Minaj showed love to Sabrina Carpenter on Friday (Aug. 30). Many took it as the rapper throwing her support behind the singer’s Short n’ Sweet in the race for No. 1 on the Billboard 200 against Travis Scott’s DAYS BEFORE RODEO.
