Nicki Minaj has everyone talking as she appears to have officially commenced the promotion for her upcoming album, Pink Friday 2. The rapper took to Instagram to share a succinct yet intriguing message, signaling the initiation of a chapter she has been teasing for some time now.
In her Instagram post, Minaj shared an image from a photoshoot along with the caption “#LastTimeISawYou.” Although the superstar didn’t provide extensive details, it can be inferred that the image likely serves as promotional photo for either her upcoming single or the entire Pink Friday 2 album. Speculation on Twitter is that the image could potentially become the official cover art for the single, although its lack of accompanying text leaves some ambiguity.
The title “Last Time I Saw You” is assumed to be the name of Minaj’s forthcoming single. Although not explicitly confirmed, it is a common practice among major artists to share such information through cryptic teasers. While no specific release date was disclosed, Minaj did offer fans a pre-save link on platforms like Spotify, hinting that the track might be unveiled in the near future.
Minaj initially announced her fifth album, Pink Friday 2, back in June. The title unequivocally indicates that this release serves as a sequel to her debut album, Pink Friday, which catapulted her to stardom in 2010. With Pink Friday 2 set to drop on November 17, the anticipation for this follow-up project has reached a fever pitch.
The timing of Minaj’s single release aligns logically with the impending album drop. As the full-length’s release date is just a little over two months away, releasing a lead single at this time is strategically aligned with a common album rollout.
Fans have been eagerly awaiting a full-length project from Minaj, given that her last album release was five years ago with 2018’s Queen. During this gap, she has remained active with numerous individual releases and an array of collaborations with fellow artists.
Her chart performance has been formidable, and she has managed to amass more Hot 100 hits in this span than many artists achieve in an entire career, including two top 10 hits this year alone. With excitement for both Pink Friday 2 and “Last Time I Saw You” at an all-time high, this new teaser further fuels the fervor of her devoted fan base.
