The queen of rap is back! Nicki Minaj has finally revealed the cover art for her upcoming album Queen. Minaj’s fourth record was set to be released next week but the singer decided to delay her release to mid-summer for the sake of the album itself, according to her own words.
Nicki revealed on Twitter her cover of Queen that will be released on August 10. On the cover, the singer turns into Cleopatra and it was all put together by Mert & Marcus, well known for their work for Vogue and Interview.
The tracklist is still unconfirmed but we can assume that “Barbie Tingz” and “Chun-Li” will be there. It is also unknown if the new single with Ariana Grande will feature as a bonus track or will be just a song solely for Ariana’s album. At the MET gala, Mert & Marcus unveiled that Madonna will appear on Queen and they were preparing a new surprise together.
Nicki said about the album: “I know it’s going to be my best body of work. That’s next on my bucket list – to deliver my fourth album and make sure that it’s a classic hip-hop album that people will never forget“.
Have a look at the album cover below:
