Nicki Minaj announced she will no longer be releasing her sixth studio album, which she previously stated would drop in March next year

Nicki Minaj announced she’s no longer releasing her new album as she pointed her finger at Jay-Z in a cryptic tweet. The Pound The Alarm rapper initially announced her sixth studio album would be released in March next year, but has since decided to axe the entire project.

In a series of tweets shared with her followers, she wrote: “OK, I’m not going to put out the album anymore. No more music. Hope you’re happy now @sc. Bye, Barbz. Love you for life.” She had tagged Jay-Z’s account, @sc, but didn’t provide any further explanation on the cancellation.

However, hours before the official announcement, she claimed “they” didn’t want her to “put out music”.

“They don’t want me to put out music. Me winning makes them feel like they lost. They’re right. However, it didn’t have to be this way,” she said.

“Lots of ppl part ways in business. They know how successful my next album is going to be. Tried to sign Wayne, Drake, me.” [sic]

Nicki added: “So they keep wanting to take or stop my money simply b/c narcissists believe what you work hard for belongs to them. Fuming b/c they can’t siphon anymore energy, money, blessings, love, grace, joy, PEACE… the culture. No successful tours. Just vibes & payola. CasiNO.” [sic]

Jay-Z owns Roc Nation, which is seemingly what the rapper is referring to when she tags him. She also referenced Roc Nation CEO Desiree Perez in multiple tweets.

She had also tweeted: “They came BEGGING the QUEEN for a tour & album & I said NOPE!!!!! LMFAO. Wanted to patch it up. They needed help from the QUEEN & the BARBZ.” [sic]

Her latest feud comes after she locked horns with Cardi B on Twitter/X. The pair have been at loggerheads since the early days of Cardi’s career, but their latest war of words comes after Cardi’s latest album, Am I the Drama? achieved astronomical success and debuted at the top of the charts.

Despite it only being Cardi’s second studio album following her 2018 debut, Invasion of Privacy, her second became the best-performing album from a female rap act in history, which clearly angered Nicki.

After a lot of back and forth, they started dragging their children into the mess. Nicki issued an open letter to Cardi’s daughter, Kulture, and even referenced her appearance.

The Mirror have reached out to Jay-Z’s reps for comment.
