Following its release, Minaj went on X (formerly Twitter) to assert that the Billboard charts would disqualify 100,000 of its sales because she had promoted a contest encouraging fans to buy four copies each. Many of these tweets, where she claimed she was being “punished” for “making great music [and] having great fans,” have been deleted.

To bring the album to life, Minaj acknowledged that she had to reflect and revisit her past to pave the way for the future. “When I look back at a lot of my music, I’m like, ‘Oh, my God, where was the me in it?'” she shared with Vogue in October. “So, for this album, I went back to the old game plan.”
Following the release of the 22-track LP, Minaj revealed that she would be releasing four new tracks for the ‘Gag City’ deluxe version of ‘Pink Friday 2’. The first track was the remix to ‘Beep Beep’ featuring 50 Cent.
