Update-Nicki Minaj is dishing on her sophomore album and she’s thanking Taylor Swift in the process. It appears Minaj may catch the Rihanna bug and release a new album every nine months! Nicki is unquestionably still riding high from her debut album Pink Friday but she is already in the studio working on her sophomore album. But don’t expect too many details or for the first single to be unlocked just yet, Minaj is keeping this one under the hat. Last month Nicki stated there won’t be a   host of features, except for one of her many alter egos; Roman apparently being the favorite.

This past weekend at the iHeart Radio Music Festival, Nicki and her pink fried chicken wing stopped and chatted with Billboard where she thanked Taylor Swift for making Super Bass a mega success and of course some details on her follow up to Pink Friday,

“All I can say is that Roman will definitely be a humongous part of the follow-up to Pink Friday. I can’t talk about anything else that has to do with the sophomore album. All I can say is that I’m working on it and the fans are gonna get their life and then some.”

On Taylor Swift:

“I want to publicly say again that Taylor Swift really launched that single into another stratosphere with just tweeting about it and rapping it and stuff, so thank you Taylor,” “And she’s so cute and she’s like a big bowl of ice cream.”

The ABS Newsletter — Stories that matter, in your inbox.

Independent journalism still matters.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

The wider picture isn't any steadier. Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under, it's rarely the ones built to center a Black perspective from the ground up that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
