At long last, Nicki Minaj is back with new music. Over the past month, she has teased her Rick James-sampling track, “Super Freaky Girl,” and now, the song is finally here.
The song is far from SFW, but features Minaj reiterating her status as a rap icon, as well as a symbol of sexual liberation.
“I can lick it, I can ride it while you slippin’ and slidin’/ I can do all them little tricks and keep the d*ck up inside it / You can smack it, you can grip it, you can go down and kiss it / And every time he leave me alone he always tell me he miss it,” she raps over a track sampling “Super Freak,” by James. And these are probably the tamest lyrics of the song.
August is gearing up to be a big month for Minaj. In addition to new music, this month will also see Minaj receiving the Video Vanguard Award at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, August 28.
“Nicki has broken barriers for women in hip-hop with her versatility and creative artistry,” said Bruce Gillmer, chief content officer of music at Paramount+ and president of music, music talent, programming and events at Paramount, in a statement. “She has shifted the music industry and cemented her status as a global superstar with her crossover appeal, genre-defying style and continuing to be unapologetically ‘Nicki’.”

Thursday nights leading into midnight are always exciting due to new music, but this is an especially captivating release night eve as Nicki Minaj will be bringing back her memorable talk show Queen Radio. To celebrate this moment, she has launched a limited collection of Queen Radio merchandise that is available for purchase now via Amazon.
The unisex collection includes a black t-shirt for $35 and a black hoodie for $60, both of which feature illustrations of “Barbie” herself laced with pink hair and a dash of turquoise. Those looking to show their allegiance to the Barb Hive can buy the merchandise here and also here while supplies last.
This isn’t just any normal return for the Queen artist, as Queen Radio will be leaving its old stomping grounds at Apple and debut on Amazon’s Amp app, which Nicki revealed back in March. Amp has grown rapidly in popularity as it features other popular hosts such as Joe Budden. Tonight listeners will not only get to hear the highly opinionated rapper speak her mind but also enjoy the world premiere of her forthcoming single “Super Freaky Girl” and call in to speak with the 39-year-old. It is sure to be a night to remember.
Download Amp here to listen to Queen Radio at 10 p.m ET tonight.
Young Money Cash Money Billionaires may in fact be true for one of the members of the YMCMB collective: According to Nicki Minaj, who reunited with her Young Money labelmates Lil Wayne and Drake during the latter’s October World Festival in Toronto last weekend, the “Way 2 Sexy” hitmaker may be a billionaire.
In a video shared to Minaj’s Instagram Story yesterday, she is seen boarding a private jet. In the clip, she says, “This is what happens when you got a rich — I’m sorry, a very rich, rich, rich, rich — Canadian friend… who is the only billionaire that I know that don’t want people to know he a billionaire.”
While she didn’t refer to anyone by name, fans immediately assumed the “Canadian friend” was Drake. Later that day, fans immediately caught wind of Minaj liking a tweet reading, “Shoutout to @Drake for being a billionaire too, even though you ain’t want no one to know.”
If this is true, Drake is among one of very few rappers in the coveted billionaires club, alongside Jay-Z, who reached billionaire status in 2019 by way of his $75 million catalog, as well as his stakes in Tidal, Uber, Armand de Brignac, and D’Usse. Kanye West attained billionaire status in 2020, mostly in part to his Yeezy fashion empire. He even surpassed Jay and has reached a net worth of $2 billion.
Minaj is set to drop her much anticipated new single, “Super Freaky Girl,” this Friday.
