Over the weekend, Nicki Minaj called out billionaire tech mogul Elon Musk while simultaneously promoting Lil Uzi Vert’s new album. It came after Twitter users had their reading limit capped on Saturday (July 1).
Using her allotted limit on the social media platform, Minaj posted a tweet about her plan to promote Uzi’s LP titled Pink Tape. “Planning out how I’ll use my 600 [reading] limit today to promote the #PinkTape, mush the Barbz in they head, block [and] beat the duds while dissing them [and] cracking up laughing at my own jokes,” the artist wrote on Sunday (July 2).
As a verified user, Minaj’s limit sits at 6,000 tweets, which is a vast leap from the 600 cap for unverified users. In response to one fan pointing that out, she responded, “No… I’m the kind of Queen that likes to get right down in the dirt with her subjects, sir. The monarchy will also not tolerate any sort of disrespect. Oh [and] sir… Never turn your back on the Queen.”
Uzi’s much-awaited Pink Tape serves as a follow-up to their 2020 sophomore album Eternal Atake. It was unveiled this past Friday (June 30). In addition to features from Travis Scott and Don Toliver, Minaj graced the track “Endless Fashion.” With references to Natalie Nunn and MAGA, the song also contains a sample from Eiffel 65’s 1998 Eurodance sensation “Blue (Da Ba Dee).”
In addition to promoting the aforementioned project, Nicki Minaj has been teasing the Barbz with snippets of her own upcoming album Pink Friday 2. It marks a sequel to her 2010 debut Pink Friday, which spawned hit singles like “Moment 4 Life” and “Super Bass.” The rapper also promised her followers that the delayed release would be “well worth the wait.”
She wrote on social media, “I love you guys so much. I am so grateful for the years of support [and] love you guys have given me.” The Queens musician further fueled the excitement by hinting at a 2024 tour to accompany the album release.
