Nicki Minaj’s Queen: What to Expect

*Harajuku Barbie is back! Nicki Minaj’s fourth album Queen drops on June 15, 2018 and excitement in The Kingdom is at an all-time high.

Nicki’s last album The Pinkprint was released four years ago and many fans had started to wonder when a new album was coming.

Requests for a new album reached fever pitch in 2017 and finally, we are getting a whole studio album. What makes things even more exciting is that Nicki is calling it her best album ever.

Here are some of the things that we are expecting from this new album cycle

A Posse Cut with Drake and Lil Wayne

The resolution between Nicki’s two mentors Lil Wayne and Birdman calls for a Young Money posse cut – a possible follow-up to The Pinkprint’s “Only”. During her interview with Apple Music’s Zane Lowe, Nicki remained tightlipped about any features on the album, which raised even more speculations about a possible collab. We’re crossing our fingers to see Wayne’s perfectly designed crew in action on the new record.

A Girl Power Anthem with Ariana Grande

Nicki and Ariana have had three successful collaborations – evidence of their great work chemistry. Can they be teaming up again for another hit? From the looks of their twitter interactions and instagram stories, it looks like a new collaboration between the two will most likely happen. Whether it will be for Nicki’s “Queen” or Ariana’s upcoming album is not clear yet. Nicki has also teased a ‘secret’ with Madonna at the same Met Gala Red carpet where she announced the album title and release date.

A Track about Her Ex

In her Beats 1 interview, Nicki opened up about her past relationship with Meek Mill and the complicated situation she was in when her then-boyfriend got into a beef with Drake, her close friend. “I tried to stop it from happening…I said (to Meek) don’t do that.” Rather than pouring her heart out, Nicki stated that she will “save some of those things for my album.” It’s very likely that we’re getting a track or two with some heartbreaking confessions.

A Documentary about the Making of Queen

Nicki also revealed that she is working simultaneously on a behind-the-scenes documentary about the making of the album. The documentary, being shot by Team Minaj’s Grizz Lee, will stream on Apple Music after the release of the album. Fans would be able to see Nicki pick beats, freestyle and write verses for the album that she already considers her favorite.

A World Tour

Nicki alerted her fans about the world tour that she will be embarking on a new tour to support the new album ahead of time on Twitter. The tour will begin in North America and then move to Europe. Nicki’s fans have already expressed excitement about the prospects of watching the female MC perform her latest hits “Chun-Li” and “Barbie Tingz” live. The rapper has also told her fans that “the ones on the tour will be elevated to Team Minaj ELITE” which has sent fans into a saving spree to buy tickets.

With all these developments, we can already foresee it as another legendary era in the rapper’s career.
