The 40-year-old gave a few hints in fan interactions with her beloved Barbz. One fan asked if Minaj was “talking about the first song on #PinkFriday2,” to which she replied, “No babe. This won’t be the first song on the tracklist.”
Another excited fan expressed joy at Minaj’s revelation, commenting, “you got some hits in there ik it.” The “Super Freaky Girl” emcee confirmed, and then some in her response: “Oh baby this is beyond just having ‘hits’. This is the word that stands above ALL OTHER words. This is a C-L-A-S-S-I-C.”
Minaj further doubled down when a fan recalled, “The way us Barbz gonna remember when you said this after hearing the song in November gonna be LEGENDARY cause you never LIE!!!.”
The rap icon replied, “And you can bet me all the money in the world on this one boo. I’m being so serious right now yo wow. This is what TF my babies fkng deserve. And y’all know I don’t throw out certain terms loosely. But ‘classic’ is the word. Hits galore. But ‘classic’ is the word.”
