"Queen" is the highly-anticipated follow-up to 2014's "The Pinkprint." While appearing on Beats 1 radio in April, Minaj said she filmed a documentary about the making of her new album.
Minaj released her first solo singles in months, "Chun-Li" and "Barbie Tingz," April 13.
Minaj may have another announcement coming up. The Associated Press reported that she appeared on the red carpet with Madonna and said, "Madonna and I have a secret coming soon."
