Pink Friday 2 is the fifth studio album by rapper Nicki Minaj, released on December 8, 2023 through Republic Records. A sequel to Minaj's debut album Pink Friday (2010), it is her first studio album in five years following the release of Queen (2018). Musically, it fuses sounds from various genres with hip hop, R&B and pop, and lyrical topics include grief, mental health, self-doubt, self-confidence, achievements, motherhood, and other contemporary reflections. The album includes collaborations with J. Cole, Drake, Lil Wayne, Future, Lil Uzi Vert, 50 Cent, Monica, and Keyshia Cole.
Pink Friday 2 debuted at number one on the US Billboard 200, making Minaj the first female rapper in history to have three number-one albums. It earned over 228,000 album-equivalent units in its first week, with 92,000 coming from pure album sales. Internationally, it peaked in the top ten in Australia, Canada, Ireland, the Netherlands, New Zealand, Norway, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom. The album received generally positive reviews from critics, who praised Minaj's consistency and innovation but criticized the use of samples. It includes samples from tracks by Billie Eilish, Biggie, Cyndi Lauper, Rick James, among others.
Pink Friday 2 was supported by five singles: "Super Freaky Girl", "Red Ruby da Sleeze", "Last Time I Saw You", "Everybody" featuring Lil Uzi Vert, and "FTCU". The double platinum-certified lead single "Super Freaky Girl" marked Minaj's first solo number-one on the US Billboard Hot 100, while all the other singles peaked within the top 25. The album was certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) in March 2024. Two extended editions of Pink Friday 2 were released. In support of the album, Minaj embarked on the Pink Friday 2 World Tour in March 2024, which became the fourth-highest grossing concert tour by a hip hop artist in history and highest-grossing tour by a female rapper. Pink Friday 2 is the first album by a solo woman to win the BET Hip Hop Award for Album of the Year.
