Nicki Minaj unleashes the new song “Last Time I Saw You”.
After announcing it earlier this week, Nicki Minaj has officially released her brand new single titled “Last Time I Saw You”. The track was first teased on Instagram Live earlier in August and was dropped on TikTok a couple of days ago.
“I wish I’d hugged you tighter the last time that I saw you / I wish l didn’t waste precious time the night when I called you / I wish I remembered to say I’d do anything for you / Maybe I pushed you away because I thought that I’d bore you,” she raps on the chorus.
One of the reasons why Nicki Minaj has endured as one of the most successful rappers of the past decade following her 2010 arrival is her range — throughout her entire career, the superstar has refused to be pigeonholed into one sound or style. That skill set is on full display…

Following the release, “Last Time I Saw You” becomes the first solo female rap song to reach #1 on iTunes in 40 countries since Nicki’s own “Super Freaky Girl” from last year.
This is the latest offering off Minaj’s long-awaited new album “Pink Friday 2” which is slated to release on 17th November. “I love you guys so much. I am so grateful for the years of support & love you guys have given me,” she wrote previously. “At times maybe I didn’t even deserve all that you have poured into me. Nonetheless, you. will. love. this. album. I will give tour deets closer to that time, but obviously the tour will start around the first quarter of 2024. I’ll also share the REAL album cover at a later date.”
Nicki Minaj hasn’t released an album in over 5 years, as she last dropped her fourth studio effort “Queen” in 2018. Minaj’s upcoming album is a sequel to her debut effort, which featured Eminem, Rihanna, Drake, Kanye West and more. Pink Friday debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 chart, selling 375,000 copies in its first week. The album was nominated for Best Rap Album at the 54th Grammy Awards in 2012.
