Renowned pop-star and female rapper, Onika Tanya Maraj, aka Nicki Minaj, recently released her fifth studio album, Pink Friday 2, in the early hours of December 8th, 2023.
Despite assertions of a ‘falling off,’ the female rapper has defied critics, maintaining her presence in the music scene over the years despite inconsistencies.
In her latest 22-track project, featuring artists like Drake, Skillibeng, and J Cole, Nicki Minaj’s fanbase, known as ‘Barbz,’ is buzzing with excitement over their favorite rapper’s new album.
While some fans are thrilled to experience a series of songs from Nicki Minaj in one go, others express excitement about her sound reinvention in this new body of work.
However, some ‘Barbz’ are using Pink Friday 2 as a battleground against rival female rappers, asserting dominance within the American rap industry.
Here are some reactions from the ‘Barbz’ on X (formerly known as Twitter), to the drop of Pink Friday 2:
