Nicki Minaj launched her newest album, ” Pink Friday 2 ,” on December 8, marking the occasion by engaging in recent tweets. Following the extraordinary feat achieved by her devoted fan base, who shattered the record for vinyl sales set by a female rap album, Minaj used her platform on Twitter to applaud Taylor Swift for her exceptional achievements in sales. Her tweets genuinely acknowledged Swift’s remarkable success in the music industry. “The SAG QUEEN TAYLOR DESERVES!!!! PERIOD!!!!! She takes months and years off then comes back with great music and fans who’ll never leave her!!!! The END!!!!!!!” Minaj tweeted. Moving forward, when questioned about the possibility of collaborating with Swift, the singer enthusiastically replied, “in a heartbeat.”
Further along the Twitter conversation, Minaj elaborated on the reason behind bringing up Swift’s name in the discussion initially. “I was simply discussing vinyl w/the Barbz due to questions they had for me…,” she said. “We broke the record in vinyl sales for any female rap album in history. That means retailers had no way of knowing that the vinyl would be in high demand. Either way, now they do! That’s a marvelous thing! ” she further added. She proceeded to overflow with praise for Swift, commending her exceptional sales achievements.

“Taylor & her fans have put in the work. Now it’s our turn,” Minaj stated. Moreover, December holds a distinctive significance for Minaj, not only because of her album release but also because she chose to unveil the record on her birthday. Intriguingly, both Minaj and Swift mark their birthdays in December, with the latter celebrating her 34th birthday on December 13. Coincidentally, this shared birth month aligns with their celebratory moments. Meanwhile, before Minaj’s heartwarming tweets about Swift, a few months ago, the billionaire artist lauded Minaj during the MTV Video Music Awards in September, reciprocating admiration and mutual respect within the music industry.
