Nicki Minaj Biography Flash a weekly Biography.
Nicki Minaj has made headlines this week for a major career move that has her fans buzzing and the industry watching. On September 12, she took to X, which was formerly Twitter, to announce that she is scrapping the previously announced Pink Friday 2 Deluxe Edition. Instead, she is working on a brand new album titled Pink Friday 3, folding in unreleased songs and fresh material. According to People Magazine, Nicki says the new songs were simply "too good to be thrown away on a deluxe album" and that the decision came from wanting to honor the original Pink Friday 2 as a special, standalone moment in her career as her first project as a mother. She promised the Barbz that a new release date for Pink Friday 3 will be revealed within weeks and that she will give fans some new tracks on her ongoing tour. This move is being treated as highly significant: it shows her intent to shape her discography very intentionally and signals that this next project is more than just a follow-up; it could represent a whole new era in her artistry.
On social media, Nicki continued to engage with her fanbase in personal ways. She recently went live on Instagram and sparked a trending discussion about the power of loyal fandom, comparing NBA YoungBoy's fan support to the famed Barbz. Outlets like HotNewHipHop and Hot 97 highlight how Nicki is reflecting publicly on her connection with the Barbz, saying "they don't play about me and I don't play about them," and even hinting she might surprise fans by performing with NBA YoungBoy on his current arena tour. Speculation swirled after her comments about possibly appearing at the Barclays Center show on September 27, but as of now nothing has been officially announced.
Outside of music, business remains big for Nicki. She continues to benefit from multiple revenue streams, not just album sales and touring but also her partial ownership in platforms like Tidal, as listed in Printify's 2025 industry roundup. Her brand and catalog generate significant streaming revenue, and Spotify's latest model means a star of Nicki's scale earns millions from her billions of streams—a testament to her lasting cultural presence.
Public events celebrating Nicki Minaj also continue, with an NYC bash jointly honoring both Minaj and Cardi B taking place September 11 and 12, according to Eventbrite, further solidifying both her relevance and her status as a fixture in hip-hop celebrations.
As of the past 24 hours, no major controversies or legal stories about Nicki have broken in mainstream outlets. Instead, the focus is on her creative decisions and her ongoing social connection with fans. Thank you for listening to Nicki Minaj Biography Flash.
