Nicki Minaj is back with her first single of 2023, “Red Ruby Da Sleeze,” which she released on Friday (March 3) via Young Money Entertainment and Republic Records.

“Red Ruby Da Sleeze, Chinese on my sleeve/ These wannabe Chun-Li’s, anyway, nǐ hǎo/ Who the f— told bi—es they was me now?” she raps over Lumidee‘s 2003 smash “Never Leave You (Uh Oooh, Uh Oooh)” while also referencing her 2018 Billboard Hot 100 top 10 hit and alter-ego “Chun-Li.”

“Red Ruby Da Sleeze” marks her first solo single since 2022’s “Super Freaky Girl,” which became the rapper’s career-first solo Hot 100 No. 1 hit and the first No. 1 debut for a hip-hop song by a female artist with no accompanying acts since Lauryn Hill’s “Doo Wop (That Thing)” in 1998.

Minaj was recently ranked No. 7 on Billboard and Vibe‘s 50 Greatest Rappers of All Time list and the No. 10 on Billboard‘s Greatest Pop Stars of 2022 list. She also emerged as the winner of Billboard‘s inaugural Power Artist 2022 – Fan Choice bracket, where fans voted from the 32 artists who made the biggest impact on Billboard‘s 2022 year-end charts.

Nicki Minaj and husband Kenneth Petty are making headlines once again. However, this time it’s about a potential split.

Over the past few days, certain corners of the internet have been speculating that the “Super Freaky Girl” star finally ended things with Petty after online gossip blog MediaTakeOut alleged that the two were living apart, with online records showing that Minaj recently purchased a brand new $19.5 million mansion in Hidden Hills, California. Meanwhile, the California sexual offender registry lists a different address for her husband of three years, which is across the 101 Freeway in the city of Thousand Oaks.

The tabloid then went on to quote a source who claimed that their martial strife stems from public scrutiny surrounding Petty’s 1995 conviction for first-degree attempted rape in the state of New York, for which he previously served four years in prison. Throughout all this though, Minaj has not only continued to maintain her husband’s innocence, but has also allegedly tried to harass and intimidate the victim, Jennifer Hough, as she’s since filed another lawsuit against Petty for sexual assault and battery in relation to the incident, which happened in 1994 when they were both teenagers.

A few days later, TikToker @newdaynewtea also posted a blind item from someone who alleged that there’s “a lot of noise” about Minaj dumping Petty “because he didn’t travel with her overseas” to her native Trinidad and Tobago for the island’s annual Carnival celebration. But while the so-called source said that Petty isn’t allowed to leave the US after being sentenced to one year of home confinement due to his failure to register as a sex offender in California, they went on to claim that “there have been a series of strippers headed to his house while she has been gone.”

Even so, Minaj’s fans aren’t sure what to make of the rumors, as some are celebrating their rumored breakup while others believe it’s all baseless speculation, pointing out that the Grammy winner was seen wearing her ring in Trinidad and that Petty isn’t allowed to travel. Minaj and Petty have yet to comment on the split speculation.

Nicki Minaj is promising the masses an album they won’t forget. It’s been four years since the Rap royal released her last LP, ‘Queen,’ and fans have been hot on her heels for news of her next offering. 2022 has seen the femcee follow through with her generous flow of fresh material – such as top 10 hit ‘Do We Have A Problem?’ and ‘Bussin’. Earlier this week, Onika previewed her newest single ‘Freaky Girl’ – for which she confirmed an August release. And now she spilling on her incoming album too.

Speaking on her freshly re-housed Queen Radio show, which now lives on Amazon’s amp platform, the superstar said of the record:

“The album is going to be f**ckin’ epic. I was listening to the songs yesterday and I just was falling more and more in love with the way everything is feeling right now. In relation to the music and to my fans.”

She continued:

“I do think at some point I probably was doing a lot of overthinking and waiting and yada yada, But I realized, it’s so important to have fun with life and as I always say: be in the moment. Try to be in the moment. And do your best.

I don’t really worry about it anymore. I used to. But now I realize, I just have to give my fans music that they f*ck with, give them the reason why they started f*cking with me in the first place. And I will rely on that. I’m not going to rely on anything else. I don’t have any f*cking gimmicks. I don’t have it. I’m gimmicked out, b*tch.”
