The “Megatron” rapper launched her Queen Radio show in August 2018 to coincide with the release of her fourth album Queen. The 13 explosive episodes have featured candid commentary from Minaj, as well as celebrity interviews and new music.
In addition to Minaj, Beats 1 is home to radio shows from Drake, The Weeknd, DJ Khaled, Travis Scott, Pharrell, Frank Ocean, and Elton John.
Minaj will celebrate the milestone by hosting another episode of Queen Radio on Friday at 12 p.m. PST. She has also released her “Island Girl” playlist featuring some of her favorite dancehall songs.
Last Friday, Minaj hosted a special episode of Queen Radio on L.A. radio station Power 106 during which she premiered her remix to Lil Baby’s “Suge.”
