The Barbz are eating well in 2023.

It's been a very busy time for Nicki Minaj as of late. First came the release of "Barbie World" featuring Ice Spice. The song plays over the credits of Barbie and is a certified banger. Furthermore, it has done absolute numbers after the film was finally released. Additionally, the rapper will be added to Call of Duty: Warzone 2.0 and Modern Warfare II as part of a cosmetics pack celebrating Hip Hop 50.

Now, the Barbz are getting Pink Friday 2. It's Nicki's first album since 2018, when she dropped the platinum-certified album, Queen. However, while Pink Friday 2 has been expected for a while, Nicki announced a minor delay to the album's release. The album will now drop in November 2023 and will be followed by a tour beginning in the first quarter of 2024. Safe to say that it's a good time to be party of the Barbz army this year.
