Nicki Minaj's Queen faced several set backs before its release. Although it was originally supposed to drop in June, she pushed it back to August 10th. However, a week before the project dropped, she revealed that she was pushing the album back another week to August 17th. In the middle of her new Beats1 show, "Queen Radio" on Thursday night, she announced that the project would arrive on August 10th, as originally planned. The project is undoubtedly one of the strongest Nicki Minaj projects yet and today, she comes through with some new visuals for the album opener.
Nicki Minaj is back with her new music video for Queen opener, "Ganja Burn." Premature versions of the song and video surfaced online last month but today, she comes through with the high quality, official version. Nicki brings the Queen album artwork to life for the music video. Although she's a bit more clothed than the cover art, it's still a bit NSFW.
Shortly after the release of the album, Nicki had more music to premier. On Saturday, Funk Flex premiered a cut that didn't make Queen titled, "Sorry" featuring the one and only Nas.
