So, Nicki Minaj just blessed us all with a new song and it is FIRE
Well, we definitely didn’t see this coming, but we’re stoked it happened! Nicki Minaj just surprised the world with the release of a brand new song titled “The Pinkprint Freestyle” on SoundCloud on Sunday.
But not before she teased the song and built anticipation with her Twitter followers:
Hmmmm… *thinks* — should I? 😁🎀

The song makes it very clear that Minaj is still the queen of rap. Forever and always.
Also, she literally tells us she is (and we totally agree).
Plus I got the title (in rap/queen) plus I got the Tidal (an owner/stream) #ThePinkprintFreestyle

The six-minute track is built on the beat from Young M.A’s recent hit “OOOUUU,” and she raps a few lines from chorus of M.I.A.’s “Paper Planes”.
And it’s FIIIIIRE.
“Young M.A, it’s the female Jay,” she raps. “I’m a brand, according to what retail say / Yeah, my tour she selling out on pre-sale day / Plus I got the Tidal queen stream, press replay.”
Minaj gives shoutouts to some of the greats, including Lil Wayne, Foxy Brown and her boyfriend Meek Mill. She also gives a shout out to someone a little more surprising — Harambe the gorilla.
Have a listen:
Not surprisingly, Twitter has been freaking the freak out over the new song. And rightfully so. false
I just don't know what to say my jaw is on the floor @NICKIMINAJ 😭
