More music from Nicki Minaj may be arriving before "Pink Friday 2."

After playing several snippets of unreleased songs on Instagram Live, Nicki Minaj admitted that dropping them as an EP prior to the release of her next album, Pink Friday 2, is a "great idea." She'll be releasing the project as her fifth studio album on December 8. Minaj considered the idea of an EP on Twitter, on Saturday.

"I think an EP with these songs is actually a great idea @RepublicRecords," she wrote in one post. In another post, she also revealed that one of the unreleased tracks “was gonna be” her first single, “but I was heavily preggers and didn’t feel comfortable. Then there’s a song called ‘Memories’ that would’ve been the second single. Lol. So glad I waited. The album really turned out perfect.”

Nananabooboo PF2 12.08.23 HEAUX" In another post, she added: “The barbz is like the rich kid everybody in the school is jealous of. the ones who parents actually took them on vacation for summer break & sh!t. They always got the new clothes, their parents grease their face b4 they go to school. Hair neatly done & don’t smell like piss.”
