Nicki Minaj has announced that her new single “Red Ruby Da Sleeze” will be released on Friday, March 3, just days after her appearance at Trinidad Carnival. She announced the release date and artwork on Instagram.
Barbie poses in a restaurant kitchen with half-red and half-pink hair tied up with chopsticks on the cover. She also teased the song in a video, though the lyrics are difficult to understand.
Nicki’s comeback is fully underway. She released a remix to Machel Montano and Destra’s “Shake the Place” last week before taking to the streets to celebrate Carnival in Trinidad.
In celebration of her new single, she will return to Queen Radio for the first time this year on March 3 at 3 p.m. PST.
“Red Ruby Da Sleeze” is Nicki’s follow-up to “Super Freaky Girl,” which became her first solo Billboard Hot 100 No. 1. It arrives ahead of her highly anticipated fifth studio album.
“I’m not going to say when it’ll be released, but the album will be out soon,” she told i-D magazine in November.
