Young Money‘s Nicki Minaj isn’t down for fans thinking her “Barbie Tingz” banger won’t make the final cut. The hip-hop diva has stepped forward to address speculation about the single’s status on her upcoming Queen album.
Onika went to Twitter Thursday (June 21) to set the record straight and admit there’s still a chance “Barbie Tingz” can land on her next solo effort.
Who said it’s not gonna be on one of my albums? *sips tea, & it’s unsweet, respect bod gyal, when meh dun speak* 😌 ☕️ https://t.co/cBiiPKK8Ed

Earlier this month, speculation developed about Nicki not including “Barbie Tingz” on her new LP based off a revealed tracklisting.
Nicki Minaj dropped her sexy collaboration with Ariana Grande earlier today (June 14) and also made Queen available for pre-order. That inadvertently revealed some of the tracklist, which doesn’t include “Barbie Tingz.” Previously thought to be the album’s co-lead single along with “Chun Li,” the track hasn’t generated as much heat on streaming services and the explicit video even failed to get eyeballs. It might be added later as a bonus track, but Queen already has 19 songs — so it might be overkill.
The rumor even blew up across social media with fans reacting to it not landing on Queen.
Y’all Didn’t Show Barbie Tingz This Much Love Before The Preorder. Y’all Barely Acknowledged Her. Treated Her Like The Ugly Stepchild. Y’all Are Funny.

In early May, Nicki blessed fans with the song’s jaw-dropping video premiere.
