Nicki Minaj has decided to scrap plans for a deluxe version of Pink Friday 2 in favor of an entirely new album, the iconically titled Pink Friday 3.

In an X message to her fans, the Young Money/Republic juggernaut promised to "announce the new date within the next couple weeks," adding, "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."

Pink Friday 2, which arrived in December 2023, debuted at #1 and has earned 1.52m in ATD in the U.S. Minaj's Live Nation-supported Pink Friday 2 World Tour continues in Dallas on Tuesday (9/17). A full list of dates can be found here.

Dear Barbz,

IMPORTANT #GagCity ANNOUNCEMENT:

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…
