Nicki Minaj introduced herself as “Billionaire Barbie” in a series of now-deleted tweets promising an album in March and more projects on the way.

Minaj announced her intent to "revolutionize the industry yet again” in a post on X had been deleted by the afternoon on Sunday (Oct. 19). The rapper had shared an image of horror icon Chucky and confirmed that she plans on releasing a new album on March 27, 2026.

In another post, Nicki wrote, “I could put out an album tomorrow and still revolutionize the industry yet again on 3.27.26. And then turn around and still release another blockbuster 4th quarter of 26.”

From there, Minaj teased several new creative projects she's working on, including three audiobooks and three documentaries.

While describing everything she’s working on, Minaj revealed her new title, which is the only one of these posts that wasn't deleted at the time of this writing.

“Hi, I’m Billionaire Barbie,” she wrote.

Minaj also recently hopped on X to tell fans they’d be upset if they discovered how many creative ideas have been stolen from her.

The rapper responded to a post about director Bradley Banton’s interview with The Hollywood Reporter when he revealed that his film More Life was inspired by one of her lives.

“I’m so happy for this man,” she wrote. “One day, maybe I’ll stop just inspiring others & I’ll have my own platform to inspire from.

“Queen Radio visual edition & my documentary were too much light,” she continued. “If I told you how many ideas were stolen from me you’d cry. But hey. It’s ok, I guess?”

In a follow-up post, Minaj criticized “gatekeepers” in the music industry for trying to “control everything.”

“Industries are going bankrupt because they play gatekeeper with gates that were never theirs to keep,” she wrote.

“In order for the natural flow of evolution in any industry/civilization to reach its goal & beyond, the GOD appointed superstars & game changers & leaders must take their GOD appointed seats,” she added. “They must be allowed to breathe.”
