Nicki Minaj
Courtesy of Republic RecordsRemember that little mystery snippet at the end of Nicki Minaj and Lil Baby‘s “Do We Have a Problem?” music video? Well, Barbz, rejoice, because it’s dropping sooner than expected. Minaj announced via socials that her follow-up single, titled “Bussin” — also with Baby — will release this Friday (Feb. 11).
“Next week we pushin B for Bussin btch WTF IS GOOD !? !? !? !?” she tweeted Monday (Feb. 7), referencing Gunna, Future and Young Thug’s widely discussed collab, “Pushin P.” Minaj also shared the track’s cover art, which shows the “Super Bass” singer in a fiery body hugging dress and draped in diamonds.
If the video for “Do We Have a Problem?” was any indication, “Bussin” may pick up where the former left off, with Power‘s Joseph Sikora looking down the barrel of a gun in Cuba.
“Do We Have a Problem?” is already making its rounds across platforms such as Twitter and TikTok, with other female rappers — including Coi Leray, Latto and City Girls — praising Minaj’s bars and flow on the menacing track. Recently, past drama between Minaj and City Girls members JT and Yung Miami became a hot topic after Minaj said on the Morning Hustle radio show she wouldn’t work with the Florida duo. “Why would I work with somebody who doesn’t like me?” Minaj askd after expressing that the two women had allegedly made negative comments about her in the past.
But on Feb. 2, Minaj tweeted that the three women had a “great convo.” “Let’s move on & make new memories y’all,” she added.
Minaj’s two singles have her fans excited and eager for her upcoming album, which the rapper stated would mark a return to “mixtape Nicki.” She said during an interview on Power 98.3’s The Dana Cortez Show: “What I do is write raps that connect with people, that make people want to sing along and channel their inner bad b—h.”

Lamb of God and Trivium are set to return to Australia this October for a massive five date co headlining arena tour presented by Destroy All Lines. Joining them on every stop will be Scottish metalcore band Bleed From Within as special guests.
The tour kicks off at Perth HPC on Oct. 2 before heading to AEC Theatre in Adelaide on Oct. 4, John Cain Arena in Melbourne on Oct. 6, Hordern Pavilion in Sydney on Oct. 9, and Riverstage in Brisbane on Oct. 11. Artist early bird presale tickets become available Friday, May 15 at 9 a.m. local time. Additional presales begin Tuesday, May 19 through Destroy All Lines, venue partners, and My Ticketek, while Spotify’s early bird presale launches Wednesday, May 20. General public tickets will be available Thursday, May 21 at 9 a.m. local through destroyalllines.com.
For Lamb of God, this upcoming run will be their first proper Australian headline tour in almost ten years. The Richmond, Virginia metal giants, who have received five Grammy nominations throughout their career, most recently appeared in Australia during Knotfest Australia in 2024.
Since forming in the mid 1990s, the group have cemented themselves as one of the defining names in heavy metal. Tracks like “Laid to Rest,” “Redneck,” “Walk With Me in Hell,” and “Now You’ve Got Something to Die For” continue to stand as fan favorites and staples within the genre. Earlier this year, the band released their newest studio album, Into Oblivion.
Trivium, who came together in Orlando, Florida in 1999, have built a reputation over the years as one of modern metal’s most dynamic and technically skilled live bands. Their music blends elements of thrash, progressive, melodic death, and groove metal, while their 2017 track “Betrayer” earned the band a Grammy nomination.
The group has also achieved several top 20 entries on the Billboard 200 along with multiple chart topping releases on the Billboard Hard Rock Albums chart. Trivium last visited Australia in 2023 for the first ever Knotfest Australia, where their Brisbane sideshow received strong praise from fans and critics alike. Their most recent project is the 2024 EP Struck Dead, which followed their 2021 album In the Court of the Dragon.
Bleed From Within will open the tour after recently celebrating two decades as a band. The Glasgow metalcore act released their seventh studio album Zenith in 2025 and have previously toured alongside major names including Slipknot, Bullet for My Valentine, and Megadeth throughout their career.
