"Nicki Minaj has a lot on her mind, and customarily, isn't holding any of it back. The rapper hopped on X/Twitter today, October 15th, to cancel her highly anticipated new album, which was expected in March 2026, while teasing her retirement from music and appearing to blame JAY-Z. "Ok I'm not going to put out the album anymore. No more music," Minaj tweeted. "Hope you're happy now," tagging JAY-Z before ending the message with, "Bye, Barbz. Love you for life.""
"Nicki's fans, aka the Barbz, have been waiting for a follow-up to the rapper's last full-length, 3.27.26" next to a CD emoji, which many took as the release date for her next album. While she now says the music isn't coming out, that Pink Friday 2, which was released in 2023. Just last month, she tweeted the date " tweet remains pinned to the top of her Twitter page."
Nicki Minaj announced on October 15 that she will not release her anticipated album expected in March 2026 and suggested she may retire from music. She directly tagged JAY-Z while telling fans "Bye, Barbz" and blaming him in her posts. Fans had interpreted a pinned "3.27.26" date as a release for a new album. The posts revived her feud with Roc Nation after she criticized the company for booking Kendrick Lamar for the 2024 Super Bowl instead of Lil Wayne. She accused Roc Nation and CEO Desiree Perez of "begging" for a tour and album and alleged broader misconduct.
