Nicki Minaj has shared a new, expanded version of ‘The Pinkprint’, to celebrate its 10th anniversary.
The reissue comes amid a busy year for Minaj so far, with the rapper recently being recognised as having the highest-grossing tour ever by a female rapper, as well as seeing her fan-favourite ‘Starships’ be certified Diamond.
Now to celebrate a decade since her third album, ‘The Pinkprint’, was shared, she has shared a new version of the record which includes numerous previously unreleased songs.
Aside from the regular tracklist – which included singles ‘Pills n Potions’, ‘Anaconda’, ‘Only’, ‘Bed Of Lies’, ‘Truffle Butter’ and ‘The Night Is Still Young’ – new tracks have been added.
These include ‘Turn Ya Cap Back’, starring Swae Lee and the dancehall-inspired track ‘It’s Okay’ featuring David Guetta. Most interestingly though, it also features a song called ‘Arctic Tundra’, which stars late American rapper Juice WRLD.
The song was leaked back in 2019, however this is the first time it has been included in an official release. Juice WRLD passed away from an accidental drug overdose at the age of 21 in December 2019.

The song featuring Juice WRLD comes as Minaj recently joined forces with Halsey to contribute to a new version of his 2018 hit ‘All Girls Are The Same’.
The single is set to be part of his posthumous album ‘The Party Never Ends’, which is being prepared for release on November 29.
In other Minaj news, she has confirmed that the final deluxe version of her 2023 album ‘Pink Friday 2’, titled ‘Pink Friday 2 – The Hiatus’ will be out on December 13, roughly a year after the original’s release. It will be the fourth version of the album to see an official release, while she has also teased the existence of a ‘Pink Friday 3’ as well.
In a four-star review of ‘Pink Friday 2’, NME wrote: “‘Pink Friday 2’ feels like a consolidation and refinement of everything Minaj can do – including dropping pop culture references that no other artist would think of. Thirteen years after ‘Pink Friday’, Nicki Minaj hasn’t lost her ability to catch us by surprise.”
Last month, the rapper also denied any rumours suggesting she will be going on a hiatus soon, saying that she “ain’t going no-mthfkn’-where”.
