Nicki Minaj Stuns In Black And Gold Fit Following “Pink Friday 2” Release

by

Over the weekend, Nicki Minaj released her 5th studio album Pink Friday 2. The album was highly anticipated as it’s been 5 full years since her last full-length project Queen dropped back in 2018. The project included three singles that preceded its release “Super Freaky Girl,” “Red Ruby Da Sleeze,” and “Last Time I Saw You.” It also contained numerous high-profile features from rappers like Drake, Future, J. Cole, Lil Wayne, Lil Uzi Vert, and more.

In the wake of the album’s release, Nicki Minaj is unsurprisingly continuing to slay. New pictures and videos are making the rounds online of the rapper in a stunning black and gold look. The fit includes a sleek black top, glistening pants, and numerous flashy accessories. Fans quickly shared the pictures and videos around online praising Nicki for both how she dressed but also the natural beauty in her looks. Check out the video and accompanying pictures below.

In the comments, fans react to Nicki’s look. “She’s really the baddest female rapper! It’s no debate,” one of the top comments excitedly declares. Other fans bring up the ongoing beef Nicki has with Jess following comments she made about the current state of women in rap. “I know Jess punching air. Her face card could never compare,” and “Where Jess Hilarous Man face insidious oss at,” two other comments read.

So far, one song in particular has felt like the breakout hit from Pink Friday 2. “Everybody” with Lil Uzi Vert is doing some of the most impressive streaming numbers of any song on the album while also going viral on TikTok. Fellow artists like Lizzo and Fivio Foreign have shared clips of themselves listening to the project. The very night the album dropped North West could already tell how good the song was and shared a video of herself dancing to it in a Barbie-themed outfit.

Nicki Minaj announced the North American tour dates for her Pink Friday 2 World Tour, in support of her recently-released album. However, some fans have some questions about the possibility of a Gag City tour — or if the two are the same thing. The internet has been buzzing about Minaj’s Gag City over the past few days.

Thankfully, we’re here to help clear things up. Here’s what to know.

Is Nicki Minaj’s “Gag City” Tour The Same As The Pink Friday 2 World Tour?

Right now, Nicki Minaj’s tour dates for her latest album are simply known as the Pink Friday 2 World Tour, including what is listed on Live Nation’s website. This doesn’t mean Gag City as a phrase has been completely ruled out, though. Instead, Minaj used it to title one of her VIP packages. The Gag City Headquarters package gives a bunch of exclusive perks, including access to a Minaj-themed lounge.

Fans online have also just started dubbing the Pink Friday 2 World Tour as the “Gag City Tour,” partially as a joke online — which has resulted in a bunch of memes. So, basically, they are the same thing if you do encounter it.

Find more information about Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 World Tour here. Below, find some fan reactions about the Gag City Tour.

Nicki Minaj And 50 Cent’s ‘Beep Beep’ Remix Is The Gritty Southside Jamaica Queens Collaboration Fans Have Been Waiting For

by

When Nicki Minaj said she had a vault worth of music to release, she wasn’t exaggerating. Instead of waiting, Nicki is treating fans to what didn’t make Pink Friday 2’s final tracklist. Yesterday (December 11), the head Barb surprised her followers with a remix to her latest song, “Beep Beep.”

On “Beep Beep (Remix),” Nicki tapped her fellow Southside Jamaica Queens native 50 Cent for the guest slot. So, fans shouldn’t take 50 Cent’s The Final Lap Tour as a retirement declaration. Thanks to the collaboration, his plans to re-enter the music space are in full effect. Listeners already know what Nicki delivered on the original version. So, the question was, could 50 Cent match the energy? He did.

“When n****s out smackin’ sh*t, it’s hard to find me / I’m different sh*t, I’m with the sh*t, I’m ’90s grimy / I should spend that sh*t, then they spin that sh*t / If n****s ain’t there, they gon’ double back to finish it / Say, we got some kind of beef, what kind of beef? Please remind me / N****s all p*ssy, whole clique punani / A lil’ bread with me, you can’t hide behind money,” raps 50.

In a post uploaded to Nicki’s official Instagram page, she shared a note thanking 50 Cent for linking up with her on the track. “Queens get the money! Southside Jamaica, Queens, stand the f*ck up! [50 Cent] walked on this sh*t. YIKESSSSSSSSSSSSSSS. I am so honored to have him stop by #GagCity!!!! #PinkFriday2,” wrote Nicki.

As Nicki continues to roll out collaborators, supporters are growing excited to see which of these acts make a surprise cameo onstage during the Pink Friday 2 World Tour.

Listen to “Beep Beep (Remix)” above.

Fivio Foreign Co-Signs “Pink Friday 2” Only To Get Clowned By Fans

by

Everybody is unpacking Nicki Minaj’s new album Pink Friday 2, including fellow celebrities and musicians. The one song everybody seems to be gravitating towards is “Everybody” which features Lil Uzi Vert. The track is already outpacing most of the rest of the record in Spotify streams and is going viral on platforms like TikTok. The same night the album released North West was already sharing videos of herself online dancing to the track. Earlier today, Lizzo tried her hand at a viral dance built around the track.

Another artist getting in on the “Everybody” hype is Fivio Foreign, though it may not have gone the way he intended. He posted a clip of himself listening to the song with the caption “When Nicki say ‘Fivi’ in her new song.” He’s referencing a sample that pops up often on the track, though it’s one that many fans interpreted differently from him. Many think the sample is meant to say “body” in reference to the title “Everybody.” Check out Fivio’s original video and some fan reactions to it below.

Fivio Foreign Roasted By Fans

In the comments of a repost of the video to Instagram, fans didn’t hold back. “this my level of delusion that keeps me happy lol,” one of the top comments reads. That sentiment is expressed pretty much throughout the entire comment section. “he just as delulu as me,” and “I’m this delusional when it comes to her so I absolutely feel him!” While fans are certainly having a fun time clowning on Fivio, there’s no official liner notes for Pink Friday 2 that would reveal the actual lyrics yet.

Pink Friday 2 is Nicki Minaj’s first new album in 5 years. Unsurprisingly, it’s a massive undertaking that sports some high-profile features. J. Cole, Drake, Lil Wayne, Future, and Lil Uzi Vert are just some of the features on the massive 22-track album. The album is also making waves for reportedly calling out other rappers like Latto and Megan Thee Stallion. What do you think of Fivio Foreign’s interpretation of the new Nicki Minaj song “Everybody?” Let us know in the comment section below.

Nicki Minaj & 50 Cent Unleash “Beep Beep” Remix As “Pink Friday 2” Website Exclusive

by

Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 has been dominating the music industry for the past few days, and for good reason. This last month of 2023’s been busier than expected in that regard, but nothing was able to slow down this rollout and the debate between the Barbz about whether this project lived up to the hype. Based on pure sales projections, general fan reception, and all the support behind her, we’d argue that this has been a pretty satisfying release so far. However, given that the Trinidadian MC is always one to surprise and please her fans, then it should come as no surprise that she’s not done yet.

Moreover, Nicki Minaj just released a new remix of the album cut “Beep Beep” with none other than her fellow legendary Queens MC, 50 Cent, which they previously announced on social media. It’s available exclusively on her website for digital purchase, and hopefully it lands on streaming services soon– which is something that she’s already hinted at. Unfortunately for international fans, this version is currently only available to purchase for U.S. residents. Still, if you want to check the song out and aren’t in the States, you can find that here or wait for the streaming version.

Nicki Minaj’s Original Version Of “Beep Beep”: Stream

In other news, the 41-year-old recently blasted the music industry for contributing to what she believes is a weak state for female hip-hop right now. “Rap should sound like f***ing rap!” Nicki Minaj expressed on her radio show. “That’s y’all f***ing problem, and that’s why all of the record labels– not all, but some– are scrambling so bad because they about to go f***ing bankrupt. ‘Cause they was trying so bad to replace this one b***h. When you water something down, you lose the quality, which then loses the investors and investments. ‘Cause it’s not bringing back any profit.”

Meanwhile, she recently announced a world tour in 2024, which has fans bouncing off the walls with excitement. As for Fif, he made plenty of amazing contributions to albums as of late, so this verse is cold, emphatic, and engaging verse is no surprise. Hopefully this doesn’t start and end their collaborative run. For more news and the latest updates on 50 Cent and Nicki Minaj, stick around on HNHH.

Lizzo Dances To New Nicki Minaj Song On TikTok

by

Nicki Minaj finally shared her highly-anticipated new album Pink Friday 2 last week. Unsurprisingly, fans quickly dissected the album and a few select favorites have emerged online as big hits in the making already. The biggest breakout song of the bunch so far seems to be the track “Everybody” with Lil Uzi Vert. It’s outpacing nearly every other song on the record that wasn’t previously released with “Needle” featuring Drake as the sole exception.

Fans found “Everybody” irresistible pretty much immediately. The very night that Pink Friday 2 dropped North West was already sharing videos online of herself dancing to the song in a Barbie-themed outfit. Shortly after the album dropped Billboard ranked all 22 of the songs that appear on it. In their list, they had “Everybody” at the very top spot, which prompted a response from Nicki herself. Subsequently in a quote tweet, she explained that she originally wrote the song in just 5 minutes and that it was originally for her Call Of Duty collab. The song is already taking off on TikTok as well and one particular high-profile Nicki fan got involved. Check out Lizzo’s video dancing to the song below.

Lizzo Dancing To “Everybody”

In a new video shared to TikTok, Lizzo tries her hand at a dance choreographed to “Everybody.” It may not be as elaborate as her usual choreography. She’s performing it at home by herself in some fittingly pink loungewear. As is the case almost any time the “About Damn Time” singer comes up fans in the comments discussed her weight.

“She’s working out” one of the top comment points out observing her noticeable weight loss. “Go head Lizzo. I see the weight loss,” another comment reads in support of the singer. Additionally, other comments referenced the biggest drama that Lizzo went through this year. A few months ago she was sued by some of her backup dancers for creating a hostile workplace for her employees. What do you think of Lizzo dancing to Nicki Minaj’s new song in a TikTok? Let us know in the comment section below.

How Much Are Tickets For Nicki Minaj’s ‘Pink Friday 2 World Tour’?

Nicki Minaj is bringing Gag City to stages across North America, Europe, and the UK in 2024. This morning, December 11, she announced her highly anticipated Pink Friday 2 World Tour, days after dropping her album of the same name. The tour will begin on March 1, 2024 at Oakland Arena in Oakland, California, stretching far and wide before wrapping on June 7, 2024 at Mercedes-Benz Arena in Berlin, Germany.

Below is everything you need to know.

How Much Are Tickets For Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 World Tour?

Minaj’s last headlining tour was the controversial The Nicki WRLD Tour with the late Juice WRLD in 2019 (as per Concert Archives), after her and Future’s NICKIHNDRXX Tour was canceled. Usually, I’d use an artist’s most recent tour to contextualize what to expect from current ticket prices, but nothing costs now what it did in 2019. However, Touring Data relayed in June 2019 that average ticket price for The Nicki WRLD Tour was $74.33. Take that for what you will. As of this writing, ticket prices for the Pink Friday 2 World Tour have not been confirmed.

When Do Tickets For Nicki Minaj’s 2024 Pink Friday 2 World Tour Come Out?

A press release relayed that there will be various presales scheduled between Tuesday, December 12, and Thursday, December 14. Citi cardmembers will enjoy an exclusive presale from December 12 at 9 a.m. local time to December 14 at 9 p.m. local time. Ticketmaster lists all of the scheduled presales here. The general sale for both the North American and European/UK legs is scheduled for Friday, December 15, at 9 a.m. local time.

How To Buy Tickets For Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 World Tour

Information about the Citi presale can be found here, and Minaj’s official website will direct you for all of your other ticketing needs. Information about purchasing VIP packages and experiences, which “vary but include premium tickets and access to the Gag City Headquarters, Nicki’s VIP lounge with special pop-up activations, exclusive merch items, and more” can be found here.

With Nicki Minaj and J. Cole teaming up on “Let Me Calm Down” from her new album, Pink Friday 2, fans might be wondering whether their partnership might extend to an appearance at Cole’s Dreamville Festival next year as Nicki embarks on her Pink Friday 2 Tour.

That’s an affirmative, as the two festival dates confirmed on the announcement are for Rolling Loud in California and Dreamville Festival. While the former had previously been announced, the tour flyer reveals Nicki as the first non-Dreamville performer of J. Cole’s festival.

Nicki Minaj Announces Headlining Set At J. Cole’s Dreamville Festival

by

Over the weekend, Nicki Minaj released her highly-anticipated new album Pink Friday 2. The project marked her first new studio album in 5 years and the sequel to one of her most beloved projects from over a decade ago. Unsurprisingly, the album is a massive undertaking. She delivers 22 tracks which span 80 minutes of material and contain numerous high-profile features. Lil Wayne, Drake, Lil Uzi Vert, and Future appear on the album among others. One artist who makes an appearance is J. Cole. He lends a guest verse to the song “Let Me Calm Down” on the first half of the album.

But the pair’s collaboration goes beyond just the song itself. Earlier today Nicki Minaj officially announced the Pink Friday 2 World Tour. The tour will take off in March of next year and run until June while hitting numerous North American and European cities. She also promised that even more dates would be announced in the future. Two of the dates on her tour are for festivals including her headlining spot at Rolling Loud which was already announced. But she confirmed her appearance at a second festival just a few weeks later whose lineup hasn’t been released yet. Check out her full tour announcement below.

Nicki Minaj Confirms Dreamville Appearance

On April 7th of next year, Nicki Minaj will play the newest edition of J. Cole’s Dreamville Festival. The fest has been a staple of the legendary rapper’s label for years and often features many of Dreamville’s own artists alongside some of the biggest and best voices in hip-hop. The full roster for the festival’s 2024 edition hasn’t been released yet but when it is, Nicki will be included.

The breakout track from Pink Friday 2 so far seems to be “Everybody” with Lil Uzi Vert. North West already professed herself as a fan of the track when she shared a video of her dancing to it. Billboard put it at number one on their ranking of every song on the album. That prompted Nicki to explain that the track was originally written in just 5 minutes for her collab with Call Of Duty. What do you think of Nicki Minaj being one of the headliners at next year’s Dreamville Festival? Let us know in the comment section below.
