The album went No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and spawned the follow up Pink Friday…Roman Reloaded, another No. 1. Is the third time also a charm for Nicki’s December 8th birthday? She’s releasing Pink Friday 2 and as teased us with track “Last Time I Saw You.” The rapper has three Hot 100 No. 1 hits “Say So” with Dojo Cat, “Trollz” with 6ix9ine and her solo hit “Super Freaky Girl.”
