Pink Friday 2
Pink Friday 2 is the fifth studio album by rapper Nicki Minaj, released on December 8, 2023 through Republic Records. A sequel to Minaj's debut album Pink Friday (2010), it fuses sounds from various genres with hip hop, R&B and pop. Its lyrical topics include grief, mental health, self-doubt, self-confidence, achievements, motherhood, and other contemporary reflections. The album includes collaborations with J. Cole, Drake, Lil Wayne, Future, Lil Uzi Vert, 50 Cent, Monica, and Keyshia Cole.
Pink Friday 2 debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, making Minaj the first female rapper in history to have three number-one albums. It earned over 228,000 album-equivalent units in its first week, with 92,000 coming from pure album sales. Internationally, it peaked in the top ten in Australia, Canada, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. The album received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised Minaj's consistency and innovation but criticized the sampling. It includes samples from tracks by Billie Eilish, Biggie, Cyndi Lauper, Rick James, and others.
Pink Friday 2 was supported by five singles: "Super Freaky Girl", "Red Ruby da Sleeze", "Last Time I Saw You", "Everybody" featuring Lil Uzi Vert, and "FTCU". The lead single "Super Freaky Girl" is certified double platinum in the US, and marked Minaj's first solo number-one on the Billboard Hot 100, while all the other singles peaked within the top 25. Pink Friday 2 was certified platinum in March 2024. Two extended editions of the album were released. In March 2024, Minaj embarked on the Pink Friday 2 World Tour, which became the fourth-highest-grossing concert tour by a hip hop artist in history and the highest-grossing tour by a female rapper. Pink Friday 2 is the first album by a solo woman to win the BET Hip Hop Award for Album of the Year.
In June 2019, Minaj mentioned on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that she had begun work on a new album with no official release date at the time and stated that she had not titled it yet. In September, Minaj announced her retirement from hip hop; however, she later withdrew her statement and apologized for her false announcement. In an interview with Elle that month, Minaj stated that the album would be, "fierce, fun, and unapologetic" and spoke about the project's ultimate sound.
It's probably the most excited I've been about an album release in a really long time. I'm happy that we're not making my fans wait for another album like I've done in the past. This one incorporates all the things people love about Nicki, but it also just has a way bigger sound, so it goes perfectly with the collection.
On June 29, 2020, Minaj tweeted, "PF2" and "MEMORIES" which went on to be revealed as the initials of the album and a song. In May 2023, she teased that the album "is the best thing that will come out of 2023 & will raise the bar to new & unreachable heights", and that its accompanying tour "will be hailed as 'genius.' That's it & that's all."
On June 5, 2023, Minaj initially announced the release date of the album would be October 20. On June 29, she officially announced that the album would be titled Pink Friday 2, and that the release date would be pushed back to November 17. In September, she debuted an unreleased track from the album titled "Big Difference" during her performance at the 2023 MTV Video Music Awards. On October 25, Minaj announced that the album's release date was postponed to her birthday, December 8.
In November, as part of weekly surprises leading up to the album release, Minaj teased a surprise that she and her fans alike were awaiting for a long time, making her fans trend "#TellUsNicki" number one on Twitter before teasing the surprise any further. The following day, it was revealed that she was the cover feature for the December 2023 issue of US Vogue, in which she spoke about recording her new album which "was written from the vantage point of a woman who has gotten so many of the things she dreamed about". With that, Minaj became the first rapper on the cover of US Vogue.
