After playing several snippets of unreleased songs on Instagram Live, Nicki Minaj admitted that dropping them as an EP prior to the release of her next album, Pink Friday 2, is a "great idea." She'll be releasing the project as her fifth studio album on December 8. Minaj considered the idea of an EP on Twitter, on Saturday.
"I think an EP with these songs is actually a great idea @RepublicRecords," she wrote in one post. In another post, she also revealed that one of the unreleased tracks “was gonna be” her first single, “but I was heavily preggers and didn’t feel comfortable. Then there’s a song called ‘Memories’ that would’ve been the second single. Lol. So glad I waited. The album really turned out perfect.”

Nicki also took the time to praise her fanbase and took aim at those who speak ill about them. “Can’t believe everyone cares about what WE do," she wrote. "Y’all don’t got no other album rollout to clock/look forward to? Well thank y’all. From the bottom of my heart. For this constant attention & promo. The barbz are FED. The barbz are HAPPY.

They always got the new clothes, their parents grease their face b4 they go to school. Hair neatly done & don’t smell like piss.”
