After a month-long break, Minaj resurfaced on X (formerly known as Twitter) at midnight on Wednesday, September 24, 2025.

The cryptic update signals March 27, 2026 as a major date in the rapper’s calendar. Although Minaj did not specify whether this marks the launch of a new single, album, or special project, anticipation is growing that it will be the official follow-up to her 2023 chart-topping album Pink Friday 2.

Her latest announcement aligns with comments she made at the close of 2024, when she confirmed that both a tour and a new record were being planned for release in late 2025 or early 2026.

With her track record of delivering successful projects and maintaining a loyal fan base, industry watchers expect the release to draw significant attention worldwide.

For the Barbz, Minaj’s global fan community, the wait for new music is nearly over. With just months to go until the official date, excitement continues to build around what the next chapter of her career will bring.
