Nicki Minaj announces her new radio show

Queen Radio is here

In the lead up to her fourth studio album, Queen, scheduled to finally be released on August 17, Nicki Minaj has announced a new radio show via Twitter.

“#QueenRadio begins tomorrow @applemusic! The new dynasty begins on @beats1official tomorrow,” she tweeted yesterday, “AND I might have something for you too!”, adding she will be conducting a live Q&A.

Queen Radio is set to premiere today at 10pm ET, or tomorrow 2am BST on Apple Music Beats 1.

Minaj will be joining other artists including Frank OceanDrake and Travis Scott, who are also on the Beats 1 specialist shows roster. 

Her upcoming album, which includes tracks featuring Lil Wayne and Ariana Grande and her banging single “Chun-Li”, is set to come out weeks before she begins her North America and Europe tour with Future and contentious rapper 6ix9ine – a move she’s received major criticism for.

Tune in with the rest of the Barbz.
