Having been a fan of dance music and Armin van Buuren since 2003, I was inspired to start my own electronic music publication with a very simple, and clear goal - to share electronic music with old, and new fans alike. Working alongside a great team has made me keep that goal alive, and build on it.

Pink Friday 2 – The Hiatus: Nicki Minaj’s Big Announcement

Nicki Minaj Reveals Pink Friday 2 – The Hiatus

Nicki Minaj, the world-famous rapper, has rocked the music industry with the news of Pink Friday 2 – The Hiatus, a deluxe version of her 2023 album.

This announcement falls on the anniversary of her critically successful follow-up to her first album, Pink Friday. The news left fans buzzing as they wondered what this new endeavor is and whether it is a sign that she will be taking a hiatus.

A Surprise Announcement

On November 8, 2024, Minaj went to social media to announce the shocking news. “Pink Friday 2 – The Hiatus, the final deluxe edition, will drop on Dec 13, 2024,” she tweeted, adding a hint of intrigue with gifs and clues. This is following her previous intentions to work on another project, leaving questions about why she changed and how this deluxe edition aligns in her discography.

Fan Reactions and Speculations

Fans quickly went on social media to react and speculate. They were wondering if the title, The Hiatus, meant Minaj could go on hiatus from music following the release. Posts such as “Is this a hiatus or album announcement? Or both?” summarized the feelings of her loyal fans. Others were wondering if this means the Pink Friday 3 album which has been rumored is indeed being planned.

What We Know About Pink Friday 2 – The Hiatus

Pink Friday 2’s deluxe version is likely to feature new tracks that Minaj alluded to during her earlier announcements. These are songs such as “Mamita” and another track referred to as the “anxiety song,” which she had earlier said could be among the releases on her world tour.

The Road to Pink Friday 2

Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday saga began back in 2010 with her first album, solidifying her position as a top hip-hop influencer. Her 2023 sequel, Pink Friday 2, was a celebration of her heritage and evolution as an artist. With The Hiatus, Minaj seems to be ending this book in a blaze of glory.

What’s Next for Nicki Minaj?

While the public is already theorizing around the possible break hinted at by the term “hiatus,” Minaj has not directly committed to any plans to take a step back from music. Rather, this release may be acting as a bridge to what will become her next big undertaking, and it may be Pink Friday 3 or something completely different.
