“It’s a big night for me because I just let the world know that my album is coming June 15th and it’s called Queen, and I can’t wait,” said Minaj. “I’m dressed like a queen every day, all day.”

Nicki Minaj previously released two singles from the album, “Chun-Li” and “Barbie Tingz,” on April 12th. Both singles received positive reviews from the critics and had strong performances on the charts.

While promoting “Chun-Li” and “Barbie Tingz,” Minaj revealed that the recording of her new album started in January but that some of the songs on the release date back over 18 months. It is expected that 2017’s singles “No Frauds,” “Changed It,” and “Regret In Your Tears” will also find their place on Queen. She also revealed that a documentary focusing on the creation of the album is in the works.

“I wanted to make sure I was writing something that was meaningful to me and that would inspire and that would captivate my audience,” said Minaj of her new album in a recent Beats 1 interview. “But most importantly, I wanted to have fun again.”

She also discussed the position of female rappers in the industry, saying that they don’t “got that much credit,” and that she had the luck of bursting on the scene at the right time.

“I don’t think [female rappers] got that much credit.” said, Nicki Minaj. “I think female rappers have always been dope and influential, but I think I sort of came in at a time where big business was paying attention, so I was able to capitalize off of a lot of deals and business ventures.”

Finally, “Anaconda“ singer discussed her role in hip-hop, saying that she contributed by “reintroducing the female rapper to pop culture.”

“My role in hip-hop has been super unique because when my first album came out, there had been so much time where there wasn’t a female rap album out that went platinum,” she said. “There wasn’t a big female rap presence right before I got in. So, my role was really reintroducing the female rapper to pop culture.”

Nicki Minaj started off 2017 with singles “No Frauds,” “Changed It,” and “Regret In Your Tears,” all of which entered the US Billboard Hot 100 and announced Nicki Minaj’s first album 2014’s The Pinkprint. She was also featuring artist on numerous other singles in 2017, including the top 10 Billboard Hot 100  entries Yo Gotti’s “Rake It Up” and Migos’ “MotorSport.”
