Last December, the inaugural edition of the album sent Nicki Minaj soaring to the top of Billboard's charts, crowning her as the female rapper with the most number-one albums under her belt. And now, the music maven is gearing up to shake things up once again with a fresh musical offering.
Announcing with panache on her Instagram page, the 41-year-old rap sensation unveiled plans for a deluxe edition of her beloved 'Pink Friday 2' album, titled the electrifying 'Gag City Reloaded,' set to ignite on September 13th. Accompanying the announcement were a string of intimate photos and videos capturing the radiant Minaj alongside her beloved husband, Kenneth "Zoo" Petty, 46, painting a picture of love and music intertwined.
Minaj, ever the trailblazer, had been teasing the rebirth of this masterpiece on her X account, leaving her loyal Barbz eagerly anticipating every detail. She recently shared exciting snippets, revealing the addition of guest verses that promise to elevate the tracks to new heights, with one in particular destined to soar straight into the top 5 of the PF2 era, captivating hearts and minds alike.
Recalling the triumphant release of 'Pink Friday 2' last December, the album stormed onto Billboard's Album 200 chart at the pinnacle, racking up an impressive 228,000 equivalent album units in the US. This milestone not only solidified Minaj's status as a force to be reckoned with but also etched her name in history, surpassing Foxy Brown's record for the most number-one albums by a female rapper.
As if that wasn't enough, the release of 'Gag City Reloaded' will coincide with a revamped and rejuvenated leg of Minaj's 'Pink Friday 2' Tour, which initially captivated audiences back in March. This second coming of the tour, dubbed 'Gag City Reloaded,' kicks off on September 4th in the vibrant city of Philadelphia, Pennsylvania, weaving its way through major metropolises like Washington DC, Los Angeles, Las Vegas, and Miami, before culminating in a triumphant homecoming in Queens, New York, on October 11th. Prepare for an unforgettable journey of music, passion, and Nicki Minaj's undeniable star power.
