   Nicki has been teasing for quite some time, and in February 2020, Nicki revealed some details about her forthcoming fifth album.

   One fan asked, "Can we be expecting a new alter-ego this era? Or possibly the return of a fan fave." Nicki then responded, "Queen Sleeze".

   When asked to elaborate on her alter ego, Nicki responded: "She’s more calm but way deadlier."

   

   In February 2022, Nicki Minaj revealed that she will be reverting back to mixtape Nicki in her upcoming album.

   During an interview on Power 98.3’s The Dana Cortez Show, Nicki said she’s doing things just like she did back in the day.

   “There’s a little bit of full-circledness happening, because I’m creating music kinda like how I used to create music when I first started rapping on mixtapes,” Nicki said.

   “Which is just having a great experience, enjoying it, being in the moment, staying present in the moment and seeing what happens.” she added.
