All hail the Queen.
Nicki Minaj makes her long-awaited return with “Do We Have a Problem?,†the first release from her upcoming fifth studio album. The menacing track, produced by Tate Kobang and Papiyerr, finds Barbie and Baby at their best.
Speaking on IG Live, Nicki praised her Atlanta collaborator. “He pleasantly surprises me all the time,†she said. “This particular record was just another moment when you could just tell the difference when somebody know they’re here for a long time. The way he pushed his pen, I loved it. He bodied, bodied, bodied.â€
Along with the song, they have also debuted a cinematic video. The Benny Boom-directed clip co-stars actors Cory Hardict and Joseph Sikora and was inspired by one of Nicki’s favorite movies, Salt starring Angelina Jolie.
“Do We Have a Problem?†arrives ahead of Nicki’s long-awaited fifth album, which will introduce a new alter ego.
“I’m creating music kinda like how I used to create music when I first started rapping on my mixtapes, which is having a great experience, enjoying it, staying present in the moment, and seeing what happens,†she told the “Dana Cortez Show.â€
