Nicki Minaj is not going to turn March 27, 2026, into a pink Friday. The rapper has given up on releasing her planned album, which she announced less than a month ago. “Ok I’m not going to put out the album anymore,” she tweeted. “No more music.” Minaj blamed Jay-Z for the canceled album, adding, “Hope you’re happy now @sc Bye, Barbz. Love you for life 6.” Minaj first revealed the upcoming album on September 24 in a tweet reading, “3.27.26,” which, as of the publication of this article, is still pinned to the top of her X page. Her bio on the app also remains “3.27.26 = BRAND NEW ALBUM.” She most recently tweeted about the album the day before canceling it, on October 14, when she quote-tweeted a Barb who was defending her and wrote “God save the BARBZ” along with the album release date.

Minaj previously called out Beyoncé’s husband in a since-deleted July 8 tweet, claiming he owed her $100–$200 million and that “it’s only collecting more interest,” per Complex. The disputed money appears to surround Jay-Z’s music-streaming app Tidal, based on her support of tweets from Barbz referencing the app, as seen by Complex. When the app was created in 2015, Minaj was one of 16 artists granted 3 percent equity in exchange for making content for it. Six years later, Jay sold Tidal to Square for $302 million, The Guardian reports. Sure, hold Jay-Z accountable, but don’t bring the music into it … especially when you’ve got Amex bills to pay.
