Barbz, rejoice! It appears we finally have a release date for Nicki Minaj‘s long-anticipated comeback single. “Freaky Girl,” which samples Rick James’ classic single, “Super Freak,” will arrive next month.

According to an Instagram post from Minaj herself, she plans to give the Barbz two gifts in August. On August 11, she will air a new episode of her radio show Queen Radio via Amazon’s Amp app. On the following day, August 12, she will release the new single.

Minaj teased the single earlier this month via a clip on social media. The song is a catchy, randy cut, on which, she raps, “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.”

Ahead of the upcoming single, Minaj has taken to Twitter to tease a new alter ego, Nick James.

“#NickJames is coming to do what the girls SHOULD’VE done,” she said. “#NickJames is coming to show the girls why they should’ve just sat there & ate their foods. #NickJames is coming to show the boys how to REALLY gag the girls. Pauz #NickJames is coming to restore hope in mankind.”

Needless to say, we can’t wait.

Amber Rose Reveals She Got Nicki Minaj On “Monster,” Says Kanye Thought She “Killed Him” With Her Verse

Amber Rose Announces Pregnancy on Instagram

Many believe that Amber Rose was Kanye’s greatest “muse” as he created, arguably. his best album My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy while dating her. In previous interviews, she has said that the critically acclaimed album is about her, and in a new episode of the Higher Learning podcast with Van Lathan, Rose revealed that she was the one who got Nicki Minaj to feature on “Monster.”

Rose told Lathan that she met Nicki Minaj and told her to come to the studio where Kanye was working on his album. Rose said that Ye was originally against putting Nicki on the album.

“I put Nicki on ‘Monster,’” Rose said. “I put Nicki on ‘Monster’. He didn’t know who Nicki was back then. I had Nicki pull up to the studio and I put her on ‘Monster.’”

Amber added, “she was still coming up, and I saw her in the studio and I said, ‘Oh my god, this b*tch is f*cking talented as hell.’ And then I went back to Kanye and I was like, ‘You need to get this girl Nicki on ‘Monster.’ And he was like, ‘Who? What? No. I’m not…” And I said, ‘Just let her pull up, what’s it going to hurt?’ […] She heard the song and then she came back the next day with the verse.”

According to Rose, even after Nicki had recorded her verse, Kanye did not want to add it to the album because her verse was better than his.

“He told me that the same day. He’s like, ‘How the f*ck did you bring in a b*tch that killed me on my own song?’” Rose said.
