Upon its release, Pink Friday 2 debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, making Minaj the first female rapper in history to have three number-one albums. It earned over 228,000 album-equivalent units in its first week, with 92,000 coming from pure album sales, and achieved the largest vinyl sales week by a female rapper in history. Internationally, the album peaked in the top ten in Australia, Canada, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. The album received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised Minaj's consistency and innovation, but felt it was too long. Pink Friday 2 samples tracks by Billie Eilish, Blondie, Cyndi Lauper, Travis Scott, Rick James, among others.

Pink Friday 2 was supported by five singles, "Super Freaky Girl", "Red Ruby da Sleeze", "Last Time I Saw You", "Everybody" featuring Lil Uzi Vert, and "FTCU". The platinum-certified lead single "Super Freaky Girl" marked Minaj's first solo number-one on the US Billboard Hot 100, while all singles peaked within the top 25. To promote the album, Minaj has embarked on the Pink Friday 2 World Tour since March 2024.

Background and development

In June 2019, Minaj mentioned on The Tonight Show Starring Jimmy Fallon that she had begun work on a new album with no official release date at the time and stated that she had not titled it yet. [3] In September, Minaj announced her retirement from hip hop; [4] however, she later withdrew her statement and apologized for her false announcement. [5] That same month, in an interview with Elle , Minaj stated that the album would be, "fierce, fun, and unapologetic" and spoke about the project's ultimate sound.

It's probably the most excited I've been about an album release in a really long time. I'm happy that we're not making my fans wait for another album like I've done in the past. This one incorporates all the things people love about Nicki, but it also just has a way bigger sound, so it goes perfectly with the collection. [6]

A year later on June 29, 2020, Minaj tweeted, "PF2" and "MEMORIES" which went on to be revealed as the initials of the album and a song. [7] From 2020 to 2022, Minaj released various songs, a greatest hits album and rereleased her 2009 mixtape Beam Me Up Scotty . [8] [9] [10] She also gained her first two number ones on the Billboard Hot 100 with a remix of "Say So" and "Trollz". [11]

In July 2022, Minaj previewed a song from the album originally titled "Freaky Girl" on her social media. [12] In May 2023, she teased that the album would "raise the bar to new and unreachable heights", and also teased an accompanying tour. [13]

Release

On June 5, 2023, Minaj initially announced the release date of the album would be October 20, 2023. [13] On June 29, she officially announced that the album would be titled Pink Friday 2, and that the release date would ve pushed back to November 17. [14] [15] [16] On October 25, Minaj announced that the album's release date was postponed to her birthday on December 8, 2023. [17]

Pink Friday 2 was released on December 8, 2023 and made available for digital download and streaming as a 22-track album. [18] The album was also available in several physical versions, which consisted of four vinyl editions (three retailer-exclusive versions each with different covers) and two CD variants (standard and signed). [18] The physical versions only included 10 tracks, which was theorized to be because the remainder were not finished in time for pressing and release. [18] On December 14, 2023 deluxe edition titled "Gag City Deluxe" edition was released through Minaj's webstore and made available to streaming platforms a day later. [19] [20] On January 13, 2024, another deluxe version, labelled the "Gag City Pluto Edition", was also released. [21]

Title and artwork

The album's title was described as a callback to Minaj's Pink Friday (2010) with Minaj also confirming it as a sequel. [22] Minaj first shared one of two official cover arts for the album in September 2023, depicting the rapper in an all-white Vetements ensemble traveling on a roofless metropolitan subway floating above pink clouds. [23] [24] On October 6, she shared the second album cover, which depicted her in an all-pink gown revealing her midriff and surrounded by a billowing pink satin sheet in front of a black background. [25] In the remaining weeks leading up to the release, Minaj shared four additional album cover variations for vinyl and digital release, all of which were shot by British photographer Charlotte Rutherford. [26]

The album contains samples from the songs of various artists, including Billie Eilish and Cyndi Lauper.

The album opens with "Are You Gone Already" which samples Billie Eilish's "When the Party's Over". [27] On the song, Minaj raps about her father's death and "love, loss, guilt, and fear". [27] This is followed by "Barbie Dangerous" which was an interpolation of the Notorious B.I.G.'s "Notorious Thugs". [27] Billboard described the song as a "lyrical exercise for the rap legend as she breezes through the Hollywood Cole production". [27] "FTCU" samples a song by Wacka Flocka Flame and was called a standout on the album. [27] [28] This is followed with "Beep Beep" and "Fallin 4 U" which are both "powered by a catchy chorus". [29] "Let Me Calm Down" featuring J.Cole spoke on Minaj's "grievances against her lover" and "explores the complexity of adult relationships". [27] Cole's rap echo Minaj's where he "relates to Minaj's struggle, he takes a jab at the critics and references one of [his] most chaotic public relationship fall-outs". [27]

"RNB" saw Minaj reuniting with her mentee, Lil Wayne, and singer Tate Kobang. [27] The R&B song was an acronym. [27] "Pink Birthday" was described as a "new birthday anthem" while "Needle" featuring Drake was called an anthem "oozing with island vibes". [27] Minaj revealed that the song was originally intended for Drake's album For All the Dogs . [30] This was followed by pop-inpsired songs, "Cowgirl" featuring Lourdiz and "Everybody" featuring Lil Uzi Vert. [27] Minaj has stated that Doja Cat was originally featured on the former. [31] The latter sampled "Move Your Feet" by Junior Senior. [32] "Big Difference" and "Red Ruby da Sleeze" were both release prior to the album's release and saw Minaj boasting of her legacy and impact on the music industry. [33] "Forward from Trini" saw Minaj showcasing her "Carribbean pride while connecting to her Trinidadian roots". [27] Both the next songs, "Pink Friday Girls" and "Super Freaky Girl" sampled high-profile songs including "Girls Just Wanna Have Fun" by Cindi Lauper and "Super Freak" by Rick James. [27] This was followed with "Bahm Bahm", "My Life" and "Nicki Hendrix" featuring Future with the second song sampling "Heart of Glass" by Blondie. [27]

"Blessings" featuring Gospel singer Tasha Cobbs Leonard was called a "palette cleanser from the dessert section" of Pink Friday 2 and saw Minaj rapping about "giving up the glory to God". [27] "Last Time I Saw You" was compared to Minaj's 2018 "Come See About Me" and saw Minaj either "ruminating about the tragic loss of her father or another soured relationship". [27] The song has a "guitar-driven instrumental". [27] The standard album ends with "Just the Memories" which was called an "ethereal album closer" and saw Minaj rapping about the dark hurdles of her childhood, her come-up and her subsequent legacy. [27]

The "Gag City Deluxe" edition of the album features a remix of "Beep Beep" with 50 Cent and a new track titled "Love Me Enough" with Monica and Keyshia Cole. [34] The latter song saw Minaj rapping about "self-love, building yourself back up after a bad relationship, and ultimately putting yourself first". [34] The "Gag City Pluto" edition of the album featured "Press Play" with Future. [35] [36]

Pink Friday 2 was met with generally favorable reviews by music critics. At Metacritic, which assigns a normalized rating out of 100 to reviews from professional publications, the album received an average score of 70, based on twelve reviews. [58] AllMusic wrote that "Pink Friday 2 lacks the cohesion and self-editing that would make it a rightful follow-up to her 2010 mainstream arrival. As it stands, Pink Friday 2 is another collection of Nicki Minaj songs, most of them exhilarating and fun, but some awkwardly placed". [59] Robin Murray of Clash called Pink Friday 2 "a record of real ambition, an example mirroring fan-pleasing tendencies with actual artistic growth" as it "match[es] ultra-colourful pop to moments of sombre introspection". [60] NME 's Nick Levine opined that while it is "probably too long, [...] Minaj paces it sharply" and concluded that it "feels like a consolidation and refinement of everything Minaj can do". [1] Alexis Petridis of The Guardian stated that "it may be as imperfect as Pink Friday was, but Pink Friday 2 offers more than enough supporting evidence to make [her claims about her abilities] sound like anything but hollow boasts". [62]

The Evening Standard 's David Smyth described the album as "an expansion of what she can do rather than a complete about turn. While she never transitions into the many-voiced rap monster who was such a blast in her early days, anyone hoping to hear her putting her rivals in their place will find plenty of great lines". [61] Nadine Smith of The Independent criticized Minaj's use of samples and commented that the album "shows flashes of the inventive brilliance that made Nicki such an undeniable superstar, but like so many legacy sequels, it mostly just makes you wish you were listening to the original". [63]

Commercial performance

Pink Friday 2 debuted at number one on the Billboard 200, earning 228,000 album-equivalent units in its first week of which 92,000 came from pure album sales, and became the largest week in overall units as well as in pure sales for a female rap album in the 2020s and a female R&B/hip-hop album in 2023. [19]

Upon the album's release, Minaj broke several records. The album became Minaj's third number-one album in the country after Pink Friday (2010) and Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (2012), and broke her tie with Foxy Brown for the female rap artist with the most number-one albums in the country. [19] Additionally, she also became the first female rap artist with number one albums in two decades (2010s and 2020s), and achieved her seventh top-ten album overall. [19] It also sold 25,000 copies on vinyl, earning the largest vinyl sales week for a female rap album in history. [19] The album dropped one place to number two in its second week, earning an additional 100,000 album-equivalent units but being beaten by Taylor Swift's 1989 (Taylor's Version) . [64] As of January 14, 2024, Pink Friday 2 has reportedly sold over one million units in the US. [65]

The album's songs achieved 90.8 million streams in its first three days. [66] Upon its release, 14 songs from the album debuted on the Billboard Hot 100, of which two entered the top 40: "Everybody" and "Needle" featuring Lil Uzi Vert and Drake respectively. [51]
