With one tweet that simply said: “8|10|18 #Queen“, Nicki Minaj officially pushed back the release of her upcoming album “Queen” to August.
The album was initially set to drop on June 15 but Nicki wisely decided to make the change after carefully considering a few factors:
- Kanye, Drake and Kid Cudi are all set to drop their respective albums in June. Therefore, dropping her album in August would just be a wiser move from a business standpoint as there would be less competition.
- She wanted to start an official countdown to the release of “Queen”
- She also wanted to put out her second single before dropping the album.
All things considered, this was a wise strategic move.
