While Minaj’s arrival on Roblox may seem unexpected, discussions about her involvement in a virtual concert on the platform surfaced last year.
“Pink Friday 2” marks Nicki Minaj’s return to the music scene, being her fifth studio album and the first major release since “Queen” in 2018.
Produced by Universal Music Group NV (OTC: UMGNF) Young Money Entertainment and Republic Records, the album featured notable artists like J. Cole, Lil Wayne, Drake and Tasha Cobbs Leonard.
Anticipation for the album is high, especially with the success of its chart-topping singles, “Super Freaky Girl” and “Last Time I Saw You.”
