Is Nicki Minaj Missing? ‘MotorSport’ Rapper Gearing Up To Release New Album

Rest easy Barbz, Nicki Minaj is not missing. The “Motorsport” rapper has been noticeably silent on social media in 2018 but it isn’t because she is hiding or attempting to keep a low profile. In fact, the star has actually been working on her new album.

Minaj, who is typically active on social media and frequently interacts with her followers, has been under pressure from her fanbase to release a new album. Minaj’s last EP, “The Pinkprint” was released in 2014. The record included hit songs like “Feeling Myself” featuring Beyoncé, “Anaconda,” “Only” featuring Drake, Lil Wayne and Chris Brown, and “Pills n Potions.” Although Minaj has released new songs since then, she has yet to compile enough singles to release an album.

Sources told TMZ Minaj is using 2018 as a time to shift her focus to creating new music for her next album. The Queens rapper decided to take a break from social media in the new year in order to prevent herself from getting distracted.

Minaj’s last post on Twitter was on Dec. 26. In the tweet she spoke about her involvement on Lil Wayne’s mixtape “Dedication 6.” Over on Instagram, Minaj’s last post was on Dec. 30, in which she posted a selfie using a snowflake filter.

By taking a break from Instagram and Twitter, Minaj has been able to spend day and night in the studio to work on records. So far, the star has reportedly worked with several big name producers and artists, including Mack Maine, Lil Wayne, and other Young Money labelmates. Insiders expect every song on the album to be a hit.

While fans can rejoice over Minaj finally putting her all into her fourth studio album, insiders have said the “No Frauds” rapper won’t return to social media until her EP is complete.

Earlier this month, fans began to panic over Minaj’s social media silence and began tweeting the star, inquiring about her return, since the rapper has disabled her Instagram comments. Some began to speculate the star could be pregnant, however, Minaj split from her boyfriend, Nas, towards the end of 2017 and has remained single.

Sources spoke out about Minaj’s whereabouts after daytime talk show host Wendy Williams introduced a faux campaign to find the rapper and created a missing person poster.

Minaj is reportedly in good health and putting her all into her fourth studio album, which is expected to be released later this year.
