Nicki Minaj has set the internet alight with a single post.
On Tuesday, the rapper shared a brief message on X, formerly Twitter: “3.27.26 💿.” The date, 27 March 2026, has been widely read by fans and music outlets as the release day for her long-awaited sixth studio album.
The announcement was as sudden as it was cryptic. Within hours, the post had gathered more than 47,000 likes and 15,000 reposts. Fans flooded her page with speculation about new singles, music videos and a possible tour.
Minaj, 42, last released an album in 2023. Pink Friday 2 opened at No. 1 on the Billboard 200 and featured collaborations with Drake and J. Cole. It cemented her reputation as one of the most influential figures in contemporary hip-hop.
If the new project does arrive in March, it will mark her first album in three years. For many listeners, that feels like a long wait. “Nicki doesn’t just drop music — she makes a moment,” said one fan in reply to her post. “We’re ready.”
Neither Minaj nor her team have confirmed further details about the album. There is no word yet on singles, collaborations or touring plans.
Still, industry watchers expect a major rollout. A top-charting album, followed by months of anticipation, suggests that Minaj may be preparing one of the most significant releases of 2026.
Whether this is a simple date or a carefully planted clue, Minaj has once again shown her gift for commanding attention with just a few words.
