<p><strong>Nicki Minaj</strong> has not stopped trending on social media since dropping her <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/nicki-minaj-fans-barbz-gagg-city-photos-pink-friday-2/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">highly anticipated album</a> &#8216;<strong>Pink Friday 2</strong>&#8216; on Friday. The 22-track project, which marks the rapper&#8217;s first body of work since 2018&#8217;s &#8216;Queen,&#8217; is sure to leave the Barbz well-fed, with Nicki already confirming that four additional tracks will be released in the coming week.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s been a long time coming, but judging by the online response so far, Nicki has dominated platforms such as X, where &#8216;Pink Friday 2&#8217; has been the most talked-about topic since midnight! So, let&#8217;s dive into things&#8230;</p>
<p>The album hasn&#8217;t even been out for a full day yet, and people are already choosing their favorite songs. From the J. Cole-featured track &#8216;Let Me Calm Down&#8217; to slowing things down with &#8216;Blessings&#8217; featuring Tasha Cobbs, Nicki is once again showing just how versatile she is as an artist.</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Nicki Minaj Came With The Heat</h2>
<p>As fans rushed to streaming platforms on Friday morning, the Barbz wasted no time indulging in the 22-track project before dissecting the lyrics to songs such as &#8216;Fallin 4 U.&#8217;</p>
<blockquote><p>&#8220;Picture you not listening when I said you would dread that/I mean locked, h*e, you’s a chop h*e,&#8221; Nicki raps, which some people perceived as her blending the terms &#8220;locs, h*&#8221; with a particular rapper&#8217;s name: Latto.</p></blockquote>
<p> ;</p>
<p>Given that Nicki herself has not yet verified the lyrics, some fans initially thought they heard, &#8220;Picture you not listening when I said you would dread that/I mean Latto, you’s a chop h*e.&#8221; However, it seems that social media users are convinced that the line &#8212; <a href="https://dev.theshaderoom.com/nicki-minaj-and-latto-trade-insults-after-nicki-mentioned-big-energy-in-grammys-critique/" target="_blank" rel="noopener">whether directly aimed at Latto or not</a> &#8212; was about her.</p>
<p>&#8220;I’m sorry Nicki is just sooooooo good at rap. No skips on that album. She’s owns rap at this point,&#8221; one person wrote after hearing the song.</p>
<p>&#8220;She mad bold calling out latto’s name, she said no indirects, directs only how can you not love her.&#8221;</p>
<p>But there&#8217;s more. The track &#8216;FTCU&#8217; is gaining just as much attention for its play on words with the line, &#8220;Stay in your Tory lane, b*tch, I’m not Iggy.&#8221;</p>

<p><amp-twitter data-tweetid="1733058290358386899" layout="responsive" width="600" height="480"></amp-twitter></p>
<p>Social media users have gathered that this line appears to reference Tory Lanez, who was found guilty of shooting Megan Thee Stallion in August.</p>
<p>Rumors circulated that Tory and Iggy allegedly shared a relationship before his incarceration, though she later denied those reports, claiming that they were nothing more than friends. She also wrote a letter to the judge on behalf of Tory&#8217;s character, asking for his sentencing to be transformational.</p>
<h2 style="text-align: center;">Nicki Minaj&#8217;s Lyrics Has Fans Speculating</h2>
<p>According to the <a href="https://www.dailymail.co.uk/tvshowbiz/article-12843131/Nicki-Minaj-takes-aim-Megan-Thee-Stallion-Iggy-Azalea-long-awaited-Pink-Friday-2-amid-MIXED-reaction-fans.html" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Daily Mail</a>, Iggy and Megan had reportedly worked on a song together in 2019, which never came to fruition due to an alleged feud between the pair.</p>
<p>One fan theorized that Nicki wasn&#8217;t shading Iggy with the line, calling it a play on words towards Megan who was embroiled in a two-year court case with Tory over the shooting incident in August 2020.</p>
<p>The user took a screenshot of an unreviewed annotation on Genius that read, &#8220;Nicki uses this phrase to throw shade at Megan after Megan had been throwing unnecessary shade at Iggy, keeping her cool and not responding to anything Megan said.&#8221;</p>

<h2 style="text-align: center;">Nicki Minaj Celebrates Her Birthday</h2>
<p>It&#8217;s undoubtedly a big day for Nicki, who celebrates her 41st birthday today. And while she hasn&#8217;t revealed how she plans to spend her very own <em>Pink Friday</em>, it&#8217;s fair to assume that the overjoyed reaction from fans is proving itself to be a birthday present in itself.</p>
<p>Roommates, have you listened to the album yet and what are your thoughts?</p>
