Pusha T’s New Album

“I’m always creating a masterpiece and in the creation of that in terms of a painting, you end up telling people while they waiting on it, ‘It’s almost dry,’ because they’re always asking, ‘When will it be done?’” he said.  

Pusha T also revealed another interpretation for It’s Almost Dry, which is a drug reference, in keeping with the rapper’s brand. “And you have to wait on masterpieces.” He added, “Also in drug culture, a lot of times you’ll have people waiting on the product and it’s not dry yet. You can come get it when it’s dry.”

It’s my most well-rounded body of work.”

“People have their own definition of what toxic is,”He said. “These women all were toxic to me. They just don’t want to admit it.”

Nicki Minaj Releases The Video For “We Go Up” With Fivio Foreign, Threatens Album Delay

Nicki Minaj has been working hard in the studio in preparation for the start of 2022. In March, she returned to Brooklyn to hire drill rhymer Fivio Foreign for “We Go Up.” Less than a month later, the New York natives are spinning the block for a gritty visual, which dropped on Tuesday (April 19).

Fivio chose the sour apple lime green sports car while Nicki chose the bright pink Lamborghini to race around the Big Apple. They paid honor to their birthplace by making New York City appear far more hospitable than the customary dismal days during the winter season.

Nicki Minaj Releases And Speaks On Her Fifth Studio Album

Last week, she stated on The Late Late Show with James Corden that her fifth studio album would be out before the summer of this year.

“I do know that it’s soon, and I do know that it’s a lot sooner than it’s ever been,” she said. “And I know that it’s coming this year. And I know that it’ll be out before the summertime.”

Nicki Minaj isn’t about to let the Barbz off the hook yet, threatening to postpone her album if the “We Go Up” video doesn’t do “what needs to be done” by any criteria.

“If y’all don’t do what needs to be done with the #WeGoUpVideo I will significantly and I DO mean significantly…delay the…the…the…oh what’s the word… oh! the album,” she wrote. “That’s right. *sighs* the album *devil wears Prada Meryl Streep voice*.”
