NICKI MINAJ ANNOUNCES NEW SINGLES ‘BARBIE TINGZ’ AND ‘CHUN-LI’

Barbie is back. Following an extended hiatus , Nicki Minaj is ready to make her long-awaited return this week with two new singles.
The double dose of new joints will consist of “Barbie Tingz” and “Chun-Li.” Both tracks will drop at 10 a.m. PST/1 p.m. EST on Thursday (April 12).
To go along with the big announcement, the Young Money Queen unveiled the artwork. The “Barbie Tingz” cover has a vintage horror feel. It finds her dressed in Victorian garb in between four masked dolls. “Chun-Li” is a reference to the “Street Fighter” character of the same name. Nicki Minaj sports her hair to resemble the warrior’s style but flosses in Fendi instead of Chun-Li’s traditional fighting outfit.

Both songs are expected to appear on Nicki’s highly-anticipated fourth album, the follow-up to 2014’s The Pinkprint . Minaj has been absent from social media since December while she completes the project.
There are also rumors of a collaboration with Young Thug called “Anybody,” which may also drop this week. Thugger shared a snippet of the collaboration last month.
Last year, Nicki spoke about their work together during an interview with DAZED . “I was so blown away by his artistry,” she explained at the time. “I can’t wait for people to hear that collaboration.”
