Nicki Minaj has finally dropped her much anticipated album, Queen! If you’ve already taken a listen (because I mean, the album is fire!) you’ll notice Nicki has some major collaborations going on.  Ariana Grande, Eminem, Lil Wayne, The Weeknd and Swae Lee are all featured on Queen however, the question that many fans are asking, where is drake and why isn’t he o the album!?

My 4th album is out now. #Queen ???????? link in bio

During The Whoollywood Shuffle on Eminem’s Shade 45 on SiriusXM, Nicki revealed the truth and why Drake isn’t on the album.  According to Nicki, “Drake and I were working on something, but I didn’t want to change the date of the album, so about two days before I had to turn it in, he and I had been going back and forth. And then even up until, I would say, within 12 hours of having to turn in my album, we were going back and forth.”

 

Nicki continued, “He had come to my studio, we found something that we really, really loved. But he was also going through that process of getting stuff right for his tour, and I had to understand that.  As an artist, I always try to put myself in the artist’s shoes, and not try to be selfish.”

 

If you haven’t already listened to the Queen, the album is listed below and my personal favourite – ‘Thought I Knew You’ with The Weeknd.
