The album that brought female rap to the mainstream in 2010, has resurged once again with a sequel. Just a few hours before the big drop, an update on the guest artists involved in the project fueled the excitement among fans.
The popular page Pop Base recently shared this update on X, formerly Twitter, and out a list of alleged artists featured on Nicki Minaj’s new album ‘Pink Friday 2’. The list included artists like Billie Eilish, J. Cole, Lil Wayne, Tate Kobang, Drake, Lourdiz, Lil Uzi Vert, Skillibeng, Skeng, Future, and Tasha Cobbs.

The album featured J. Cole, Lil Wayne, Tate Kobang, Drake, Future, Lourdiz, Lil Uzi Vert, Skillibeng, and Skeng. While artists like Billie Eilish were absent from the album, Minaj had sampled her track ‘when the party’s over’ for ‘Are You Gone Already’, the opening track of the album. However, the album did feature the promised songs ‘Super Freaky Girl’ and ‘Last Time I Saw You’, along with the song that Minaj surprised her fans with at this year’s VMAs.
This latest update, however, opened the floodgates to countless possibilities for what the album might offer, ahead of the release.

The inclusion of artists like J. Cole and Tasha Cobbs compensated for the absence of other fan-favorite artists. The Gag City is gearing up to be the visual canvas for Nicki Minaj’s upcoming album, which was also shared by the rapper herself in her artwork. This will be Minaj’s fifth studio album, released under the wings of Young Money Entertainment and Republic Records.
