It's hard to believe that it's over 10 years since Nicki Minaj released her first mixtape. In that time, the 'Only' hitmaker has established herself as one of the greatest rappers of all time with incredible feature ('Monster') and singles of her own ('Anaconda').

And now she's back. After years of working on her fourth album, the living legend is dropping two singles on Friday.

'WATCH NICKI AND YO GOTTI'S INCREDIBLE 'RAKE IT UP' VIDEO HERE...'

THIS IS NOT A DRILL. ONIKA IS ABOUT TO BLESS US WITH TWO NEW BOPS TO GET OUR LIVES TOO.

It seemed certain that Nicki was about to return when she began posting a countdown on Twitter this week and last night she confirmed it by unveiling the artwork for not one but new singles. 'Barbie Tingz' and 'Chun Li' will both come out this Thursday.

As it stands little is known about both, but judgingby their covers we're in for two of Nicki's best releases yet.

Eagle-eyedfans have noticed that Nicki has been using the #BarbieTingz hashtag in posts and comments since last summer. Not only that but she's used it in reference to both Cardi B and Beyoncé, leading fans to think that a collabmay be incoming.

Plus with Beyoncé performing at Coachella this weekend, NickiandCardi could potentially join her on stage.

Not only that but, as there are four women with Nicki on the 'Barbie Tingz' cover, it couldfeature four artists.

Eitherway, we are just excited for Nicki to release new music.

Solo or collaborating, the queen of rap never fails to wow us.

THE KID IS BACK.
