The highly anticipated and much-delayed project arrived 13 years after the original on Friday, December 8. Less than an hour before release, Nicki Minaj shared a visual teasing the Pink Friday 2 tracklist, finally giving The Barbz a glimpse of the stars appearing on her fifth studio LP.

An emotional Nicki Minaj took to social media Thursday evening (December 7) to express her gratitude to one of her collaborators, Finneas. The eight-time Grammy winner, who also happens to be Billie Eilish’s brother, co-wrote the Pink Friday 2 intro.
“Welp that did it for me…crying in less than 25 seconds of the intro,” she wrote on X. “Again. Finneas, if this finds you in #GagCity, God bless you I haven’t even been able to tell you about ALL the geniuses on this project.”

During a recent interview with Vogue, Nicki Minaj explained that she took a different approach on Pink Friday 2. “When I look back at a lot of my music, I’m like, Oh, my God, where was the me in it?” she shared. “So, for this album, I went back to the old game plan.”
