Nicki Minaj teases new album Queen with Lil Wayne-featuring ‘Rich Sex’

The first of two new songs from the rapper due this week

Nicki Minaj has shared a new song from her upcoming album Queen. “Rich Sex” is a collaboration with Lil Wayne, and sees Minaj rap over a stark, gothy beat: “If you know your pussy worth a Benz truck / Don’t let homie fuck unless his bands up.”

“Rich Sex” is the first of two new Nicki Minaj songs coming this week: on Thursday, she says she’s set to release “Bed” with Ariana Grande.

Minaj recently revealed the appropriately regal artwork for Queen, which is due August 10. Following its release, she’ll tour North America with Future.

Revisit our 2017 cover story with the rapper exploring her ten-year legacy and recording new tracks for the album.

Listen to “Rich Sex” below.
