Nicki Minaj shared a snippet of her forthcoming album Queen via Instagram on Friday (June 8).
Wearing a flower filter on her head, the self-proclaimed Queen of Rap poses for the camera as her music plays in the background.
“Alice, the goon palace,” she’s heard rapping.”You mad, doggie? You mad, doggie?”
Minaj captioned the photo with “Cam’Ron voice.”
Queen was originally expected to arrive on June 15 but Minaj pushed the date back to August 10. [apple_news_ad type=”any”]
The Cam’ron reference stems from an interview the Damon Dash and the Dipset rapper did with Bill O’Reilly on the O’Reilly Factor back in 2003.

Nicki Minaj took to Instagram on Thursday (June 7) to share the cover art for Queen, her forthcoming fourth studio album and what she believes is her most stellar body of material.
The caption read, “#Queen 8|10|18 [shot] by the legendary #MertAndMarcus. My greatest work to date. Thank you for your patience & love. Pre-Order next week.”
The photo, shot by London-based fashion photographers Mert and Marcus, features Minaj scantily clad in beaded underwear, pasties and headgear, and sitting on a tree branch.
Minaj is one of several celebrities Mert and Marcus have worked with over the years. Other clients include Madonna, Lady Gaga, Rihanna, Shakira, Jennifer Lopez, Fergie and Taylor Swift.
Queen is expected to arrive on August 10, nearly two months after its original release date of June 15.[apple_news_ad type=”any”]
Not gonna lie.. I’d smash even with her fake booty and boobs. No talent though. That’s for sure.
No talent? I’m not a Nicki fan but shordy has been writing hit songs for herself and others for close to a decade now. if you can’t admit that you just hating for hating sake.
Thirsty dudes, rejoice!
Just show your tits and puss already so we can be done
This cover is the reason why the metoo movement is a joKe
No, you didn’t get he memo. There can’t be grid girls and beauty pageants but women who do porn like Stomy Daniels are confident women who deserve respect. It’s the same with Nicki here.
So she is jumping from one culture appropriation to the next? Here come the excusers again sayin she is 1.5% Egyptian. lmfao
You my friend are dumb! Google Nubia, Kush, Kemt etc and see the faces they are all BLACK! You can’t appropriate a culture our ancestors started! But she looking mad corny though haha
Yea she got bored of pretending she was asian huh? God damn ive never seen a group of people hate themselfs more than black people the women wanna be asian or caucasian and the men define themselfs and their worth by the car they drive and the clothes they wear and make sure to yell to the world what they are wearing and driving so people look at them like little peacocks pathetic shit
Lol. U hatin at dawn? Are you a cleaner? Foh
Nah up getting ready to go to work from 4 a.m to 6 p.m as a master carpenter who makes $1500+ a day self employed running my own business… hows your lunch shift at mcdonalds treating ya?
Nah im actualy up to make $1500+ a day as a self employed master carpenter with 3 crews employed under him building 3 homes at a time and making hella good money in oilfield country hows your lunch shift at mcdonalds going for you?
They are ALL Black?? First of all Cleopatra is NOT Black. Secondly not all Black People are the same. I know Black People always try to blur the line and make every black culture one but thats not how it works. I’m a WHITE Italian that doesnt mean I can run around in Scottish Kilt and Bagpipe because its “White Culture”. Same goes for “Asian Culture”, Japanese isnt Chinese and Chinese isnt Indian. And guess what my friend, same goes for Black Culture.
I can see where you are coming from. I don’t agree totally with you but I think that your comment is very worthy of conversation. 1
I meant for my reply to Thanos to hit your comment” I can see where you are coming from. I don’t agree totally with your comment but it is worthy of conversation for sure”
“You can’t appropriate a culture our ancestors started!” You do know that all mankind jumped out if the same pond, right?? Our all ancestors started from the same society. That would mean there is no such thing than “Culture Appropriation” that Hip Hop is so obsessed with.
This whole cultural appropriation is a fkn joke, but the way ya’ll come up with excuses for this are hypocritical and show you speaking out of ur ass.
God damn. Talk about a fap-worthy cover.
Ghetto and corny. This shit will not stand the test of time. I admit Pink Friday is a classic album cover, her and the design team just reached too far on this one.
wanna be ohio players-earth wind and fire ish
that’s funny!!!!!
corny
Tiddies look awful smh.
Are you serious?
Serious about what, tiddies being fake or Thanos killing Lebron’s hairline?
XD!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Well, I don’t know about awful, but they do look pretty fake.
Bitch looks like a bloated photoshopped air brushed mess
She bad.
What in the hell kinda two cent hooker would make this their album cover. Just gives you an idea of how ass it’s gonna be if she has to have a cover like that to help push units. I mean I’d smash because I’m a hornball, but everything about this shits fake as hell. She’s the #BowWowChallenge in person.
ummm all they’re missing is pride rock!
Photoshop does wonders……Nicki’s thighs and legs do not even look like this in real life, lmao…….She is so desperate to sell albums and is really obsessed with that dumb tittle, “Queen of Rap”. There is no such thing as a queen or king of rap. Nicki is a beautiful woman but needs to act her age and grow tf up this is straight from the rap playbook of 10 years ago.
She wants to be taken serious as a rapper and not just being reduced to her body and then drops a cover like this.
She does have some pretty little feet
Great album cover…she’s a good looking woman…just hope she gets rid of the butt implants..she doesn’t need them. Nicki’s a well-made-up gal. Salute. I probably won’t be buying the album, though. Not a big fan of the music, but hell I know she’ll sell with her base
smh… the desperation is real.
Really y’all she’s fine, making moves, can body a track on whatever tempo, cares about her music, what else do you want from a rapper…..I wish more rappers had her ambition
Camron. One of the worst to do it.
That’s a shout to uncle murda u fuck tards
You are a moron
No you just don’t know either moron
Shouting out Camron..Is this a shade on Juju….safaree’s castmate on Love and Hip-hop.
Armchair psychologist here… reporting that Nicki Minaj clearly has mental issues. She is a grown woman with silly snapchat filters and conducts herself like a 7 year old child. Signing Out, Dr. Captain Obvious esq. Phd, cpa, jr III.
