Before my first album came out, I was on everybody's song I had my own campaign without realizing it. The album was certified platinum by the RIAA in January 2019.ДЇollowing the release of her third studio album The Pinkprint in 2014 and the end of The Pinkprint Tour in August 2015, Minaj went into Hot 97's Ebro in the Morning in October 2016, where she was asked for details about her upcoming album, responding, 'The album is so freaking epic, but it's a journey right. It charted within the top ten in other music markets, such as Australia, Canada, Netherlands, Ireland, New Zealand, Norway, Switzerland, and the United Kingdom.

It debuted at number two on the US Billboard 200 with 185,000 album-equivalent units, of which 78,000 came from pure album sales. Queen received generally positive reviews from music critics, who praised its production, though many criticized the album's length, its lyrical content, lack of direction, and cohesiveness. To further promote the album's release, Minaj launched her own radio show, titled Queen Radio, which aired on Beats 1, made several television appearances and live performances, and began The Nicki Wrld Tour in February 2019. It was supported by the singles: ' Chun-Li', ' Bed', ' Barbie Dreams' and a remix of ' Good Form'. The album's release date was delayed before ultimately being released a week ahead of schedule. It features guest appearances by rappers Eminem, Foxy Brown, Future, Swae Lee, and Lil Wayne and singers Ariana Grande, Labrinth, and the Weeknd. The rapper started recording the album throughout 20 and collaborated with a handful of producers to reach her desired sound. It is Minaj's first album in nearly four years, following The Pinkprint (2014).

It was released on August 10, 2018, through Young Money Entertainment, Cash Money Records and Republic Records. Queen is the fourth studio album by Trinidadian-born rapper Nicki Minaj.
