Per usual, the Barbz shared their excitement over the release on Twitter. One person wrote, “After listening to Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 album, my honest opinion is that… unfortunately, that Queen crown will remain on her head UNSHAKEN for the next 10 years, if not forever.”
Another wrote, “Nicki Minaj [is] really one of the greatest rappers ever and the undisputed GOAT female [emcee]. Not a single person comes close. And the fact this was already true 10 years ago and is still true now is insane.”

Nicki Minaj really one of the greatest rappers ever and the undisputed GOAT female mcee. Not a single person comes close.
And the fact this was already true 10 years ago and is still true now is insane.

Nicki’s ability to not sound like anything that’s out must be studied.

Nicki might need to rap until she’s 60. Haven’t found a suitable replacement yet.

Prior to the project’s debut, Minaj sat down with Vogue to discuss the concept behind the album art. “I just loved that it didn’t have to show any skin. I just loved that sometimes women are the most confident when they’re completely covered up,” she explained. “I saw my fans debating about, ‘Is she going there or is she coming from there?’ I loved the discussion. I just want people to decide for themselves what it makes them feel first.”
Pink Friday 2 is Minaj’s first full-length release since 2018’s Queen, which debuted at No. 2 on the Billboard 200 chart and featured hits like “Good Form,” “Chun-Li” and “Bed” with Ariana Grande.
