New Nicki Minaj album drops on Valentine's Day By Lindsey Hunter Lopez, Special to CNN |
(CNN) -- Nicki Minaj has a release date for her sophomore album. MTV News reports that "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded" will drop on February 14, 2012. How romantic!
Fresh off two wins at the 2011 American Music Awards, the rapper tweeted the album news to her 7 million followers earlier this week as fans celebrated the anniversary of her 2010 debut, "Pink Friday."
Although the title of "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded" could suggest that it's some sort of re-release, 28-year-old Minaj tweeted confirmation that it's "ALL new tracks."
Her sophomore effort will also feature one of her alter-egos, Roman Zolanski, who appeared on the rapper's debut. "Heeeee's baaaacccckkkkk," she posted. "And he's in rare form."
Minaj hinted about Roman's inclusion in the album back in August. "I don't know, I don't think I'm hitting up anybody for features for this sophomore album," she told MTV backstage at a stop on Britney Spears' Femme Fatale tour. "Roman ... possibly. But I never give away all my secrets."
Before she releases "Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded," Minaj will be honored as Billboard's "Rising Star" of 2011 at the Billboard Women in Music Event in New York on December 2. She follows previous "Rising Stars" Jazmine Sullivan (2010); Lady Gaga (2009); and Colbie Caillat (2008).
Billboard's editorial director Bill Werde said Minaj "has established herself as a force in hip-hop and pop music...Her unique style and powerful sound will undoubtedly lead to a long and lustrous career, and we look forward to seeing where she goes and what she does next."

Nicki Minaj And Cher Have Short-Lived Twitter Feud
The Pink Friday singer's fans (who call themselves Barbs or Team Minaj) began the feud by tweeting that Minaj had made fun of Cher in a lyric for her song "Did It On 'Em": "@cher did you know thatb***h @NICKIMINAJ dissed you in her song DIDITONEM."
Cher replied on Twitter: "Ive seen lots of people come & go! Nobiggie!"
The argument escalated when Minaj's friend Scaff Beezy added that the lyric was not actually an insult, noting: "yo @cher listen to the words b4 you say dumb s**t on twitter… do you know what a rap metaphore is??? TM is a cult you dont want it with!!"
Cher then retracted her previous comment: "U R right ! Someone said I was dissed..I've been dissed b4,but instead of finding out I just got defensive ! I should know better."
Minaj herself only came into the argument near the end, when she Tweeted "stop." Cher later deleted her defensive Tweets.
