Part of the reason for Pink Friday 2's success? It has some notable names besides Minaj on it. The album features contributions from Drake, Lil Wayne, J. Cole, Future, Finneas, Murda Beatz, and more.

The record also includes the catchy lead singles “Super Freaky Girl,” “Red Ruby da Sleeze,” and “Last Time I Saw You.” Of those singles, "Super Freaky Girl" has been the most commercially successful, hitting #1 on the Billboard Hot 100 in August 2022. Its placement on the chart helped Minaj become the first solo female rapper to debut atop the Billboard Hot 100 since Lauryn Hill. (She did it with "Doo Wop (That Thing)" in 1998.)

As for other Nicki Minaj news, the rap queen has already released a deluxe version of the new album. It's titled Pink Friday 2 (Gag City Deluxe). Additionally, Minaj is set to go on a world tour in 2024.
