.. Nicki explained her decision in a post on X (formerly Twitter).
“Instead of doing a DELUXE to Pink Friday 2 , I’ve decided to do a brand new album. I’ll still incorporate new songs like #Mamita & [The 'anxiety' song] for the remainder of the tour tho..
.and I’ll announce the new date within the next couple weeks. The new music is just too good to be thrown away on a deluxe album,” she explained.
She continued, writing, “Last night, the songs I recorded were just way too iconic. I love you guys so much. You know that.
I know you do. I’ll still give you something leading up to the announcement, so no worries.” “🎀 PF3 is about to do PRECISELY wtf BEEN needed to be done.
TRUST ME BARBZ. IM SO EXCITED. BLESSED.
LOVED (by the Barbz) & fortunately (for the Barbz & me), I’ve learned A LOT since 12/08/23.” The rapper thoroughly explained her decision to preserve Pink Friday 2 as it was: “ PF2 means so much to me. As my 1st album as #PapaBear mama, it’s just very special to me for so many reasons you guys aren’t aware of.
I put every song on there in a specific order, etc. So to honor that.
