Nicki Minaj announced her new album, Queen, while walking the red carpet at this year’s Met Gala.

Fans have been wondering when the rapper from Queens, NY would let them in on her new album. Minaj confirmed that Queen will be out June 15th when she worked the red carpet at the 2018 Met Gala.

It has been long-awaited as Minaj’s last album was Pinkprint, which was released back in 2014. Queen will include Minaj’s latest singles “Barbie Tingz” and “Chun-Li.”

During the red carpet interview, Minaj stated, “It’s a big night for me because I just let the world know that my album is coming June 15 and it’s called Queen, and I can’t wait.” She ends the interview with, “I’m dressed like a queen every day, all day.”

This year’s Met Gala theme was “Heavenly Bodies: Fashion and Catholic Imagination.” Minaj wore a red and black rosary beaded headdress with a skintight red-and-black dress and a long dramatic coat.
