The Madd Hatta Morning Show headed towards Prairie View A&M University to host their step show after PV’s win over Alabama State in overtime (24-17), Congrats by the way, and as we headed there I, (Madd Hatta) and morning show co-host/producer, (Kooper), got into this conversation:
Me: Hey Koop, Nicki Minaj dropping her album at midnight.
Koop: What! I ain’t heard about that!
Me: Yea, I wanna play at least 3 or 4 tracks Monday so you might have to clean some tracks up.
Koop: Aight.
Then we find out, she was just joking!!!
Damn you Nicki. That ain’t funny! Ok, it is kinda funny but still.
Nicki Minaj had a good laugh Saturday evening (Oct. 8), at our expense, after fooling fans into believing that she was on the verge of releasing a surprise new album and we were fooled.
Out of nowhere, the Nicki Minaj tweeted that she was going to drop a new album, titled Pick My Fruit Out, 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

And the track that had her most excited was…
The one I’m most excited about, however, is track #10. It’s called Ni–a toss my fruit salad and it features my favorite rapper of all time
