American-Trinidadian rapper Nicki Minaj shared on Tuesday the cover art for the long-awaited fifth album "Pink Friday 2".
The Grammy Award-nominated rap star rides the sky train for the album’s cover art, which she shared on her social channels. In the image doing the rounds, Minaj holds on tight in an all-white combo, traveling on a roofless carriage that’s floating above the (pink) clouds. A gleaming city is visible in the distance.
“Album cover #1 of 2,” she writes in her Instagram post.
"Pink Friday 2" is scheduled to arrive on November 17, though Minaj has released a few cuts from it, “Super Freaky Girl,” “Red Ruby Da Sleeze,” and “Last Time I Saw You”.
The album will be Minaj’s first studio album since 2018’s Queen, which featured “Chun Li,” “Good Form” and “Barbie Dreams.”
She’s not lacking any confidence ahead of the release date. “Just know that ‘Pink Friday 2’ is going to be the best album that’s been released in years,” she recently announced.
Earlier in the year, the Trinidadian artist expressed gratitude toward her fans and teased plans for a new tour slated for 2024. “I love you guys so much,” she said. “I am so grateful for the years of support & love you guys have given me. At times maybe I didn’t even deserve all that you have poured into me. Nonetheless, you. will. love. this. album. I will give tour deets closer to that time, but obviously, the tour will start around the first quarter of 2024.”
Initially, she revealed the new LP would arrive in October before the release date was pushed back to mid-November.
