Young Money’s Nicki Minaj has officially dropped her new Queen album. The hip-hop diva’s long-awaited solo album is now available and lives up to the hype.
On the 19-song studio effort, Nicki takes her biggest swipes on her “Barbie Dreams” anthem.
On “Barbie Dreams”—a flip of Notorious B.I.G.’s “Just Playing (Dreams),” that’s an update of the similarly-titled track “Dreams” that she released over a decade ago—she targets numerous rappers, including Meek Mill (her ex-boyfriend), Drake (“Drake worth a hundred milli, always buying me shit/But I don’t know if the pussy wet or if he cryin’ and shit”), Desiigner (“Shoutout Desiigner, ’cause he made it out of special ed”), Young Thug (“Used to fuck with Young Thug, I ain’t addressing this sh*t/I caught him in my dressing rooms stealing dresses and sh*t”), and many more.

Over the past few hours, Nicki has teased fans about dropping Queen at noon.
Last night, Nicki revealed she’s performing one of her Queen anthems at this month’s MTV Video Music Awards show.
