Additionally, Minaj has teased that there will be some big collaborations on the album. In an interview with Billboard in 2020, she said that she had been working with some “amazing people” on the album.
When will the album be released?
In an interview with Rolling Stone in 2021, Minaj said that she was taking her time with the album and that she wanted to make sure it was perfect before releasing it.

In an interview with Elle in 2020, she said that she had been going through some “life-changing” experiences and that it had affected her music. On her social media accounts last week when she announced the name of the new album, she also officially announced the release date to be November 17 of this year.

Trust me, it’ll be WELL WORTH THE WAIT.”
