Nicki Minaj has announced the release date for the deluxe edition of her chart-topping Pink Friday 2 album, dubbed Gag City Reloaded.
The Queen Barb took to Instagram on Monday (August 26) to let fans know when they can expect the new project while sharing carousel of photos of her with her husband, Kenneth “Zoo” Petty.

Alongside photos of Nicki flaunting her figure in bikinis and cozying up to her man, the slideshow included potential artwork for the deluxe album which revealed its release date of September 13.
The Young Money rapper captioned the post: “9.13.24 #GagCityRELOADED THE DELUXE ALBUM [CD emoji].”
Though Nicki Minaj has yet to confirm which songs will appear on Pink Friday 2: Gag City Reloaded, she did fuel excitement with a lofty claim about the deluxe on X (formerly Twitter).
“Well, Barbz- Didn’t really want to have to speak on this but I just can’t stay quiet about it any longer,” she addressed her 28.1 million followers.

“Last night, I recorded what will probably be your favorite song on the deluxe. It will immediately go into your TOP 5 of the entire PF2 era. OH MY FREAKING GOODNESSWDRFFHJKGV.”
Hinting at a high-profile collaboration, she added in another post: “WHOA […] THE VERSE I JUST GOT BACK FOR #GagCityRELOADED the DELUXE ALBUM.”
Nicki also played a handful of unreleased songs on Instagram Live last week, including collaborations with Drake and the late Juice WRLD.
After previewing a track with the latter, she asked viewers: “So, the question is: do you guys think I should put the Juice World song on the deluxe? It would be incredible for me I think to have Juice WRLD on this album.

“Because before he passed, that’s what we were talking about. He recorded a bunch of stuff when he was in my studio but I don’t like to exploit people and people’s deaths and stuff like that.”
Nicki appeared to answer her own question days later when she revealed that Pink Friday 2: Gag City Reloaded will feature only artists signed to her record label Heavy On It.
