Nicki Minaj Unveils Album Release Date

American-Trinidadian rapper Nicki Minaj‘s long-awaited fifth album finally has a release date.

The rapper took to social media on Monday to announce the record’s release date, confirming that it will arrive in October. 

“10/20/23 The Album,” Minaj wrote on Twitter.

The rapper's upcoming fifth studio album will come five years after 2018’s "Queen". Since then, Minaj has released several singles, including last August’s viral "Super Freaky Girl" and March’s "Red Ruby Da Sleeze" alongside a number of collaborations with Kim Petras, Ice Spice, and more.

Further information on the album, including its tracklist and featured artists currently remains unknown.

Minaj will also be featured on the upcoming star-studded soundtrack for Greta Gerwig’s "Barbie", which hits theatres on July 21.

Moreover, the rapper shared last year her plans to get back into the TV and film industry.

 “I’ve been speaking to a director about doing something in a movie. In terms of TV, we’ll see. But I love acting, and I’ll never abandon acting for too long. That’s one of my biggest passions.”
