In October 2025, Nicki Minaj addressed fans directly about her upcoming projects, reassuring them that new music is on the way.
She revealed plans to release her next album in March 2026 and even suggested the possibility of another release later that year.
In a since-deleted post shared on X and reported by Complex, she wrote,
“I could put out an album tomorrow and still revolutionize the industry yet again on 3.27.26. And then turn around and still release another blockbuster 4th quarter of 26.”
She further clarified her timeline, stating,
“The truth is (lol, I know…not another ‘the truth is’ tweet) lol ok last one b4 spaces. The truth is: I’m releasing NM6 on 3.27.26 b/c of the people who were in attendance at #GagCity I saw you. I want you to know that. I saw you. I heard you. I felt you. I love you.”
These statements directly reference her continued involvement in music and plans for her sixth studio album, often referred to by fans as “NM6.”
Nicki Minaj voices support for Donald Trump in Washington appearance
Nicki Minaj has made public comments regarding former U.S. President Donald Trump. During an appearance in Washington, DC, the Trinidad and Tobago-born rapper declared herself to be Trump’s “number one fan” and expressed support for the so-called “Trump Accounts,” which are described as trust funds for children.
“I will say that I am probably the president’s number one fan, and that’s not going to change,” Minaj said. “And the hate or what people have to say, it does not affect me at all. It actually motivates me to support him more.”
She also shared an image of a Trump “gold card” visa on X, writing, “Welp.” In a follow-up post, she added,
“Finalising that citizenship paperwork as we speak as per my wonderful, gracious, charming president,” noting that the card had come “free of charge.”
