Nicki Minaj has given fans a much-needed update on her forthcoming fifth studio album, which she’s been teasing for a while.

Speaking to City Girls rapper JT for i-D, the leader of the Barbz revealed her next album will go back to her Hip Hop roots. According to Nicki, she’s in a very good place now and believes being in that mindset puts her in a position to put out her best music.

“I feel like whenever I’m happy, I deliver the best music,” Nicki said before hinting at what’s to come on the new project. “And in order for me to deliver the best music for my album – which is coming out soon – I have to tap back into the essence of Hip Hop.”

Elsewhere in the conversation, Nicki hinted her fifth studio album is on her priority list, giving fans hope it can be released sometime soon. Her last solo effort came with 2018’s Queen, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 with 185,000 album-equivalent units, of which 78,000 came from pure album sales.

Mark those calendars because Nicki Minaj is set to make a splash in the coming. For, the femcee has officially announced the release date for her brand new single, ‘Freaky Girl.’

As reported, Onika has been teasing the song – which samples Rick James‘ ‘Super Freak – in earnest. Now it looks like Rap pioner is ready to serve it up whole. Taking to social media moments ago, Minaj confirmed a new Queen Radio date on August 11 and revealed that ‘Freaky Girl’ will drop a day later on August 12.

Nicki Minaj narrowly managed to avoid a wardrobe malfunction on the Met Gala 2022 red carpet. After famously skipping last year’s fancy fête over its vaccine mandate, the “Anaconda” rapper — who seems to have come around to getting jabbed — attended Monday’s ball in a feathery Burberry bustier gown, leather leggings and a matching baseball cap. But as she explained on the carpet, her dress’ bust left her, well, busting out.

“The only unplanned thing about my look is my boobs popping out, because they made my cup size a little small,” Minaj joked.

“Enjoy these titties, ’cause y’all ain’t gonna see that ever again.”

The musician — who finished off her daring ensemble with gemstones all over her arms, chest and face applied by Pat McGrath’s team — attended alongside Burberry creative director Riccardo Tisci.

I added 122 pictures from from the amazing event. Check out our gallery for more HQ pics of her Met Gala pictures. She looks amazing and beautiful.

“I used to b happy when I was high. Now I’m happy when I’m sober,” the rapper said in a tweet on Thursday.

Nicki Minaj says she is in a good place. The rapper, 39, briefly opened up about her sobriety in a series of tweets posted Thursday on Twitter. After a Twitter user asked if she was high, the artist replied in a quote-tweet;

“No I’m sober & loving life. You ?”

In a second tweet, Minaj added, “I used to b happy when I was high. Now I’m happy when I’m sober. No judgement to anyone. Be gentle with yourself. 🎀.”

In a third tweet, she said:

“My eyes naturally look like that and ppl always think I’m high when I’m not wearing makeup. Plus my eyes are naturally gray & I was born in the Caribbean islands of Cuba. The 1st paragraph was 💯 true tho.”

Minaj previously talked about how motherhood has changed her. She welcomed her son, now 18 months, with husband Kenneth Petty in September 2020. During a February appearance on The Late Late Show, the “Barbie Tingz” artist told host James Corden that becoming a mother “has made me see more good in people” and “more good in the universe.”

“It makes you more of a forgiving person,” she explained at the time, adding, “When I look at my son, I’m reminded that I am so blessed.”

“I realized, for so many women, this is their dream. Their dream is to have a child and not everybody gets that blessing,” Minaj continued. “So when you have a little baby, you are reminded every day like, ‘Oh my God. Thank you God for this little gift.’ “

Minaj also recently opened up to Corden, 43, about her mental health. During an appearance on Carpool Karaoke earlier this month, the “Trollz” artist revealed that she struggles with anxiety.

“I think when you are a woman and you’re in the public eye all the time, if you’re not careful you can become less confident because you’re being constantly scrutinized,” she explained. “I just don’t think it’s natural. It’s not natural for a human being to just always feel like everyone’s critiquing them.”
