Nicki Minaj is serving up that signature sting with “Barbie Bitch,” the latest ASCAP registration that’s lighting up timelines just weeks before ONIKA lands, and it snaps like a comeback clapback—fierce, fabulous, and fully in her lane.
This unreleased cut clocks in as a high-energy rap banger, blending her razor-sharp flows with trap beats that pulse like a heartbeat on overdrive. From the buzz around early leaks and fan breakdowns, it’s got those layered ad-libs and tempo shifts she loves, dropping around 2:45 of pure attitude. The sound pulls from her classic blueprint: booming bass, playful samples that nod to her dancehall roots, and that Trinidadian cadence turning every bar into a flex. Lyrically, it’s all about reclaiming the throne—dissing the fakes, owning the glow-up, and flipping “bitch” into a badge of honor with lines that tease betrayal and boss energy. No confirmed features yet, but it’s Nicki solo in the registration, letting her pen do the heavy lifting in a creative pivot toward unfiltered anthems that feel like diary rips set to fire.
Slotted for her sixth album, ONIKA, out March 27, 2026, on Young Money and Republic, “Barbie Bitch” joins the likes of “Patience” and “HUNTER” in what’s shaping up as a 15-to-18-track manifesto of raw Onika. The concept’s a deep dive into her pre-fame self—think Queens grit meets global queen status, with tracks unpacking legacy, love’s sharp edges, and industry shade. Early tracklist teases include “MAD” as a confirmed heater, plus collabs rumored with rising rap sisters and a surprise dancehall link-up. Her X went wild last month with the registration drop, complete with that sultry black-dress pic that’s already meme gold, and label whispers point to visuals dropping mid-January.
Nicki’s closing out 2025 on her terms, fresh from the Pink Friday 2 Tour’s record-breaking run and those viral clapbacks that kept her name ringing. At 43, she’s not chasing trends—she’s setting them, evolving from mixtape maven to the architect of her own lore. ONIKA’s her way of saying the Barb empire’s just hitting stride, trading some pop polish for bars that bite back harder.
