American rapper Nicki Minaj has shared that she has cancelled her new album, and pinned the blame on senior rapper Jay Z.
Minaj, 42, had unveiled plans to drop her sixth album in March 2026, but after last month’s announcement, the Starships hitmaker insisted she has scrapped the upcoming release while tagging Jay Z in various posts, which disappointed her fans, the Barbz.
She wrote on X, “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 (sic).”
As per reports, hours earlier, she claimed unspecific parties “don’t want [her] to put out music”. “Me winning makes them feel like they lost. They’re right. However, it didn’t have to be this way. Lots of people part ways in business. They know how successful my next album is going to be. Tried to sign [Lil] Wayne, Drake, [and] me. So, they keep wanting to take or stop my money simply because narcissists believe what you work hard for, belongs to them. Fuming because they can’t siphon anymore energy, money, blessings, love, grace, joy, and peace. No successful tours. Just vibes [and] payola (sic).”
In a separate post, she tagged Jay Z again claiming that he is keen to launch a casino in New York City’s Times Square, despite backlash.
