Nicki Minaj has ditched the deluxe and announced a brand new album.

“Instead of doing a DELUXE to Pink Friday 2, I’ve decided to do a brand new album. I’ll announce the new date within the next couple weeks. The new music is just too good to be thrown away on a deluxe album.”

On her recently recorded tracks, she said,

“Last night, the songs I recorded were just way too iconic. I love you guys so much. You know that. I know you do. I’ll still give you something leading up to the announcement, so no worries.”

Exciting fans about the new project, which she appears to be titling Pink Friday 3, she concluded:

“PF3 is about to do PRECISELY wtf BEEN needed to be done. TRUST ME BARBZ. I’M SO EXCITED.”

Minaj’s announcement comes as she wraps up the second U.S. leg of her Pink Friday 2 Tour; despite controversies such as delayed concert start times and allegations of lackluster performances, she continues to draw crowds with upcoming tour dates in San Antonio, Dallas, Los Angeles, Miami, and her hometown of Queens, NY.
