“Pink Friday 2” stands as Nicki Minaj’s fifth studio album, succeeding her 2018 release, “Queen,” and the compilation album “Queen Radio: Volume 1” from August 2022. Initially hinted at as “the fifth thing thing” in her February 2019 freestyle “Barbie Goin Bad,” Nicki confirmed its existence during a June 2019 interview with Jimmy Fallon. Despite lacking a title and release date at the time, anticipation for the album grew, promising another chapter in Nicki’s musical journey.
