Nicki Minaj has finally dropped her long-awaited fourth studio album. 

Queen was released a week earlier than expected, surprising fans with nineteen new tracks. The rapper first teased the album back in April, saying that her musical hiatus in coming to an end. Finally, Minaj confirmed Friday that her album is here on Apple’s Beats 1 radio.

Minaj considers the highly anticipated album to be her “best” work yet, saying while debuting her album, “I didn’t lie. This album is really my best, trust me.”

The album features appearances from Lil Wayne, Eminem, The Weeknd, Rae Sremmurd’s Swae Lee, Foxy Brown and Ariana Grande. 

The rapper also offered an analysis of her work, especially for “Barbie Dreams” in which she name-drops 50 Cent, Drake, Lil Uzi Vert, DJ Khaled and more, insisting that the track is not intended as a diss to those mentioned. 

Queen is available on Spotify and Apple Music now.

She slipped in the news when she explained why she won’t be appearing on The Ellen DeGeneres Show due to the flu.

“The album itself I think I want to put out on August 10. I want to put out my second single, which I’m really, really excited about, and I want to now start an official countdown,” the 35-year-old singer said during her Instagram Live. She added that she wants to do things differently this time around.

The rapper followed up with a tweet confirming the release date of her new album, writing, “8|10|18 #Queen.” She also announced her plans to host another social media scholarship give away, like what she did last May when she offered to pay off college expenses for her fans.

The “Bang Bang” singer will also be dropping her album artwork between June 11 and June 15. Her tour is still on schedule and will kick off at the end of September.

Bohemian Rhapsody stars Rami Malek as Queen’s frontman Freddie Mercury and from the looks of it, Malek’s portrayal is absolutely spot on. The sneak peek of the film that chronicles the band’s path to fame showed just how much Malek immersed himself in the role, completely transforming into Mercury, nailing the look as well as the moves. 

The project has been long time in the making and Malek wasn’t first pick for the role. It was Sacha Baron Cohen that was originally cast for the leading role, however, exited the production due “creative differences.”

“Basically, they wanted to make a movie about the band and I wanted to make it a little more about Freddie,” Cohen told ET in 2013.

The production suffered another setback when original director Bryan Singer dropped out due to “unexpected unavailability” and replaced by Dexter Fletcher in December 2017. 

Bohemian Rhapsody is scheduled to hit theaters October 24 in the UK and November 2 in the US

The network announced the news Wednesday, two day after Bryan Singer’s firing. Production will resume next week with Fletcher hired to take over as director of the Queen biopic.

Fletcher has both acting and directing credits which include Kick-ass, Lock, Stock and Two Smoking Barrels and Eddie the Eagle, Sunshine on Leith, and Wild Bill respectively.

Production on the film was temporarily put on hold due to Singer’s “unexpected unavailability.” However, the absence which resulted in a production shutdown, days later led to Singer’s termination. The ousted director then issued a statement saying that his termination was the result of the production “unwilling to accommodate” his return to the US to tend to a sick family member, and not due to on-set disputed with Rami Malek who star’s as Freddie Mercury.

“Rumors that my unexpected departure from the film was sparked by a dispute I had with Rami Malek are not true,” he writes. “While, at times, we did have creative differences on set, Rami and I successfully put those differences behind us and continued to work on the film together until just prior to Thanksgiving.”

Bohemian Rhapsody is scheduled for release on Christmas Day 2018.

The studio behind the film, Twentieth Century Fox, released a statement on Friday saying: “Twentieth Century Fox Film has temporarily halted production on Bohemian Rhapsody due to the unexpected unavailability of Bryan Singer.”

The BBC was the first to report that it was illness that forces the director to stop working on the Freddie Mercury film which will tell the story of the late Queen frontman’s life. The director’s representative said it was “a personal health matter concerning Bryan and his family.”

Filming is taking place in the UK with Rami Malek starring as Freddie Mercury. Singer’s past directing credits include The Usual Suspects, four X-Men movies and Superman Returns.

Despite this delay, Bohemian Rhapsody is still scheduled for its original release date on December 25, 2018.

This won’t be Myers first association with Queen. The actor co-wrote the SNL movie Wayne’s World, which famously opened with his as Wayne Campbell and Garth Algar (Dana Garvey) rocking out to “Bohemian Rhapsody” in their car.

Bohemian Rhapsody, directed by Bryan Singer (the X-Men movies, The Usual Suspects and Superman Returns) will not be a traditional biopic according to the director. “It won’t just be the dark Freddie story, but that being said, that also will be honored,” Singer told EW, “It’s about collaboration. It’s a celebration.” The film will chronicle the band Queen from 1970, when Mercury teamed with Brian May and Roger Taylor, until the band’s performance at Live Aid in 1985, six years before the singer died of complications from AIDS.

Bohemian Rhapsody opens in theaters on December 25, 2018.
