Nicki Minaj has released the cover for her much anticipated sophomore album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded.
The new cover shows Queen of Hip-Hop sporting a blonde wig, face paint and glares into the eyes of the beholder. This cover is a far cry from her first CD, which showed the rapper decked out in the title color and rocking some fierce heels.
Minaj has been performing everywhere from the Super Bowl halftime show with Madonna, Grammy Awards and the NBA All-Star Game in Orlando to support her sophomore album.
The rapper has already released the songs “Roman Holiday,” “Roman Reloaded,” “Starships” and “Stupid Hoe” off the new album.
Cash Money co-CEO Bryan “Birdman” Williams told Billboard.com that the full album will blow quite a few minds when it arrives next month.
“Words don’t describe how talented she is,” says Birdman. “This album she has is incredible, she’s not just rapping, she’s doing it all. She’s versatile, and I think people are gonna be so impressed by the growth and what her music has become. I’m excited, and I can’t wait to see the outcome of it.”
Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded is set to hit stores April 3.
