Nicki Minaj announced the release date for the final deluxe installment of Pink Friday 2 – The Hiatus.

Nicki Minaj announced on her social media platform the official release date for the deluxe edition of her chart-topping album Pink Friday 2 from 2023. The new edition will celebrate the one-year anniversary of the album and is set to be released next week under the title Pink Friday 2 – The Hiatus.

Habang ikinagagalak ng kanyang mga fans, nag-iwan ng kaunting kalituhan ang anunsyo ng Queen Barb nang mag-post siya sa kanyang X account ng announcement na may kasamang dalawang GIFs. Sinulat niya, “Pink Friday 2 – The Hiatus. The Final deluxe installment. On the 1 year anniversary of PF2.” Ibinunyag din niya na ito ay ilalabas sa Biyernes, Disyembre 13. Noong Agosto, inanunsyo ni Minaj ang deluxe edition ng Gag City Reloaded para sa PF2 at noong Setyembre, ipinaalam niya sa mga fans na tinanggal niya ang ideya. Sinabi niya noong panahong iyon, “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. 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.” Tinukso rin niya ang pagpapalabas ng Pink Friday 3 ngunit sa anunsyo ng Pink Friday 2 – The Hiatus, tila nalilito ang mga fans.

Because of the title Pink Friday 2 – The Hiatus, fans are speculating that Queen Barb might be taking a break. One user commented, "Is this a hiatus or album announcement? Or both?" As of now, fans will have to wait until December 13, 2024, for the release of the new deluxe edition.
