    Nicki Minaj was set to unleash her highly-anticipated album, Pink Friday 2, on November 17, the same day Lil Wayne and 2Chainz are dropping their joint album, Welcome 2 ColleGrove. However, the Barbz queen has changed her mind. She’ll now release the effort on her birthday, December 8.

    “I have changed my album date,” she said on Instagram live this week. “It’s been changed for some time now behind the scenes. As you can tell, Weezy and 2 Chainz, they announced their date, and you know how me and Weezy play.”

    She added that Weezy didn’t knowingly plan to release his collab album with 2Chainz on the same day as her. “He would never do that if that was my album date, so I wanted to make sure you guys were aware of that. ‘Cause I saw some of you guys questioning that.

    “So I’ve changed my album date to — and it’s for a reason that the Barbz will be in agreement with, trust me. When I tell you why I’ve changed it, you will be like, ‘You did the right thing, Nick.’”

    She continued, “The new album date for this incredible body of work that I’m so proud of is on a very special day to me and to the Barbz […] Pink Friday 2, I’m so happy to announce, will be out on my birthday, December 8th.”

    Nicki explained that she postponed the release date because her team wasn’t “able to get the vinyls in time for first week.”

    He continued, “Every meaning, every aspect of them. Things that rhyme, we hear it. I already know the gift and the curse that he has. And I love to hear the way he puts it together.”

    The two iconic MCs first rode on a beat together in 2009 on “Forever,” later joining forces on “Drop the World” and “No Love.”

    Charlamagne Tha God calls Lil Wayne “corny” for cutting short his show because his audience didn’t cheer his Young Money artists

    Charlamagne questions Wayne’s decision to end his show early

    A video circulated in the past week of Lil Wayne ending show early because the crowd looked uninterested in his Young Money artists. Charlamagne Tha God recently weighed in to the situation, blasting Wayne since it’s normal for audiences to show such reactions to upcoming artists.

    “That’s corny. You can’t be upset because the crowd isn’t feeling your artist,” Charlamagne explained. “I’m sure Wayne has been there before. I’m sure that there was a time that he might have brought a Drake way way way way back in the day and people weren’t paying attention to Drake. You might have brought a Nicki way way way way back and people weren’t paying attention to Nicki, or Tyga, all these people ended up blowing up. Everybody starts somewhere.”

    He added, “You know what I mean? Lil Twist has been there for a long long long long time, so if people aren’t feeling Twist at this moment, who’s fault is that? Can’t force things on people.”

    He pointed out that the crowd paid to see Wayne and that ending the show early won’t help attract attention to his artist because “people forget what you did to them but don’t forget how you made them feel.”
