Nicki Minaj reveals 'Pink Friday 3' is coming our way

Barbz! Nicki Minaj is ready for a three-peat, and instead of releasing the Pink Friday 2 Deluxe, the rapper has decided to add those songs onto a completely new project, and a third installment to her Pink Friday series — Pink Friday 3 .

Nicki had plans to drop her PF2: Gag City Reloaded deluxe last Friday September 13, but as the release date came and went, the album never arrived. Then, two day later, on Sunday, Nicki clarified that Pink Friday 3 will be headed our way instead, and to expect another announcement regarding the project’s arrival in the coming weeks.

“Instead of doing a DELUXE to Pink Friday 2, I’ve decided to do a brand new album. I’ll still incorporate new songs like #Mamita & [The ‘anxiety’ song] for the remainder of the tour tho… and I’ll announce the new date within the next couple weeks,” she tweeted. “The new music is just too good to be thrown away on a deluxe album. Last night, the songs I recorded were just way too iconic. I love you guys so much. You know that. I know you do. I’ll still give you something leading up to the announcement, so no worries.”

“PF3 is about to do PRECISELY wtf BEEN needed to be done,” Nicki continued, “TRUST ME BARBZ. IM SO EXCITED. BLESSED. LOVED (by the Barbz) & fortunately (for the Barbz & me), I’ve learned A LOT since 12/08/23. PF2 means so much to me. As my 1st album as #PapaBear mama, it’s just very special to me for so many reasons you guys aren’t aware of. I put every song on there in a specific order, etc. So to honor that, I’m going to give it the respect & integrity it deserves as a beautiful body of work & not add anything else to it.”

The rapper went on to explain that “1 or 2 songs is no big deal but 5-7 songs feels a little sloppy right now (In my humble opinion).” Adding, “This era has just been so successful, rewarding, satisfying, etc. after much thought, I want to be for CERTAIN that I am being intentional about every single decision being made around both PF2 AND PF3.”

Nicki is currently on the road for the second leg of her North American Pink Friday 2 World Tour and was about to hit the stage in Birmingham, AL right after she shared the post. Nicki’s next show is set for Dallas, this very evening. She will then makes stops in San Antonio, Los Angeles, San Francisco, San Diego, Las Vegas, Kansas City, St. Louis, Jacksonville, Tampa, Miami, Raleigh, and Columbia, SC, before wrapping up in Queens on October 11.
