Pink Friday 2

Pink Friday 2 is the fifth studio album by rapper Nicki Minaj, released on December 8, 2023, through Republic Records. A sequel to Minaj's debut album, Pink Friday (2010), it fuses sounds from various genres with hip-hop, R&B and pop. Its lyrical topics include grief, mental health, self-doubt, self-confidence, achievements, motherhood, and other contemporary reflections. The album includes collaborations with J. Cole, Drake, Lil Wayne, Future, Lil Uzi Vert, 50 Cent, Monica, and Keyshia Cole, while tracks by Billie Eilish, The Notorious B.I.G., Cyndi Lauper, Rick James, and others are sampled. 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. Internationally, it 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 criticized the use of samples. 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 lead single "Super Freaky Girl" is certified double platinum in the US, and marked Minaj's first solo number-one on the Billboard Hot 100, while all the other singles peaked within the top 25.
