Love you for life 6.\u201d Minaj first revealed the upcoming album on September 24 in a <a href=\"https:\/\/x.com\/NICKIMINAJ\/status\/1970699807196127500\" rel=\"nofollow\">tweet<\/a> reading, \u201c3.27.26,\u201d which, as of the publication of this article, is still pinned to the top of her X page. Her bio on the app also remains \u201c3.27.26 = BRAND NEW ALBUM.\u201d She most recently tweeted about the album the day before canceling it, on October 14, when she quote-tweeted a Barb who was defending her and wrote \u201cGod save the BARBZ\u201d along with the album release date.<\/p>\n<p class=\"clay-paragraph\" data-editable=\"text\" data-uri=\"www.vulture.com\/_components\/clay-paragraph\/instances\/cmgshab6y000u3b78wcbc8hz3@published\" data-word-count=\"109\">Minaj previously called out Beyonc\u00e9\u2019s husband\u00a0in a since-deleted July 8 tweet, claiming he owed her $100\u2013$200 million and that \u201cit\u2019s only collecting more interest,\u201d per <a href=\"https:\/\/www.complex.com\/music\/a\/jaelaniturnerwilliams\/nicki-minaj-claims-jay-z-owes-her-200-million-says-people-who-call-him-hov\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Complex<\/a>. The disputed money appears to surround Jay-Z\u2019s music-streaming app Tidal, based on her support of tweets from Barbz referencing the app, as seen by <a href=\"https:\/\/www.complex.com\/music\/a\/cmplxtara-mahadevan\/nicki-minaj-reacts-fan-jay-z-owes-money-apology\" rel=\"nofollow noopener\" target=\"_blank\">Complex<\/a>.
