Nicki Minaj has been basking in the glory of her queenship lately ,and so it was only right she gave her Barbs a little taste of what’s in store.
Nicki Minaj teases new ‘Freaky Girl’ single
The queen of Hip-Hop’s latest tour stop was at the Wireless Festival in London, UK, and viral videos from her attempt at hosting a meet and greet spoke volumes about the reach of her influence in pop culture.
Thousands of fans halted traffic in the UK’s capital for a chance at a glimpse of Nicki Minaj. It seems the love she’s been getting has not only affirmed her place in music’s hierarchy but it inspired the We Go Up rap queen to release new music.
If the song she previewed on social media does drop in the near future, this will make it Nicki’s fourth single release in a calendar year, the most we’ve heard from Onika since her mixtape era.
On Wednesday, Queen Barbz surfaced in a racy video, flaunting her voluptuous curves with an unreleased song playing in the background. Nicki, addressing her fans, revealed this was her next single, Freaky Girl, a song that remains without a release date at this juncture.
Already, it’s very clear that when the single drops, it will most certainly take over TikTok trends. From the little we’ve heard, the song samples heavily from Rick James’ Super Freak (1981), a classic pop top-seller that was successfully reworked by MC Hammer in 1990.
Now, add a little Nicki sass and a heavy concentration of contemporary adult references, and you’ve got a classic single that could rival Anaconda.
