Nicki Minaj Reveals The Dancehall & Soca Artistes That Inspired ‘Queen’ Album

Nicki Minaj dropped her brand new album “Queen” on Friday.

The Trinidadian rapper unveiled the 19-track record on Apple’s Beats 1 radio where she gave a song-by-song analysis of her new work.

One such track, “Barbie Dreams,” has been singled out for featuring criticism of rappers including the likes of Drake, DJ Khaled and her ex Meek Mill however Nicki said she was just joking around.

Queen follows singles “Barbie Tingz” and “Chun-Li” which were both released in April. Its release was originally slated for 15 June before being pushed to 17 August due to clearance issues over a sample of a Tracy Chapman song.
