When did Nicki Minaj's 'Pink Friday 2' album come out?

Nicki Minaj's fifth album 'Pink Friday 2' was released on 8th December 2023 after she had to push back the release date twice for reasons unknown. The album was originally meant to be released in October, she then changed it to 17th November and currently it's set to come out on 8th December.

Nicki explained to YouTuber Kai Cenat that they had to push back the date because vinyl records weren't available until December.

In her announcement post about the album's updated release date, the rap queen told her followers: "I love you guys so much. I am so grateful for the years of support and love you guys have given me. At times maybe I didn’t even deserve all that you have poured into me.

"Nonetheless, you. will. love. this. album," she concluded, adding that her tour starts in early 2024.

Nicki released her first single from the album 'The Last Time I Saw You' on streaming platforms on 1st September and it sounds incredible.
