Taking to Instagram on June 30, Minaj shared the exciting news with her fans, accompanied by a stunning photo of herself sporting vibrant pink locks. She expressed her gratitude for their support and hinted at some “really exciting news” that she will share in due course, which led to the slight delay in the album’s release.

To further fuel the speculation, Minaj recently celebrated Grande’s birthday with a heartfelt tribute on Instagram. Sharing a black and white photo of Grande, Minaj expressed her love and referred to Grande as her sister.
As November 17, 2023, draws nearer, Minaj enthusiasts can hardly contain their excitement for the release of Pink Friday 2. The combination of her exceptional talent, charismatic stage presence, and the potential collaboration with artists like Grande has music lovers eagerly counting down the days until the album’s arrival.
