Nicki Minaj Releases Album Art For The Pinkprint

Nicki is keeping her fans on the edge of their seats in anticipation of her album release next month.

The Anaconda MC released the album art for The Pinkprint on Instagram, Perez Hilton reported on Monday. Though the album's release date has been pushed back to Dec. 15, Nicki wasn't deterred from giving fans a preview of her third album.

The cover shows a fingerprint in sparkling, pink-purple make-up. A literal take on the album name, it's an ode to Jay Z's 2001 LP, The Blueprint, and was put together by "the Kanye West team," Billboard reported.

Nicki's first album, 2010's Pink Friday, showed Nicki as a Barbie with pink hair and disproportionately long legs. Then came Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded in 2012, depicting Nicki on the cover with bleach-blonde hair covered in body paint.

Drake, Lil Wayne, Chris Brown and Nicki recently dropped their new single "Only" and is rumored to be featured on Beyonce's supposed secret album follow-up in about a month.
