Nicki Minaj Trolls Fans With New Album 'Pick My Fruit Out'
10 October 2016, 12:06
Bananas (Harambe Interlude) was a fan favourite.
Nicki Minaj teased her fans with a new album release called 'Pick My Fruit Out' on Twitter this weekend - but soon revealed the whole thing was a joke.
The self-entitled Queen of Rap even included a track listing, and claimed the album would be released at midnight.
Ok u know what I wasn't gonna say anything but damn ya got it out of me. The album drops at midnight. it's called #PickMyFruitOut

'Bananas (Harambe Interlude) was also featured, as a tribute to the infamous gorilla internet meme.

It's been two years since the release of Nicki's last album, 2014's 'The Pinkprint', so fans have been eagerly waiting for some new material in the form of a fourth studio album.
Although said album's name and release date is yet to be revealed, the rapper has clearly been keeping herself busy.
Her recent features include Ariana Grande's 'Side To Side', DJ Khaled's 'Do You Mind' and DJ Mustard's 'Don't Hurt Me'.
