'The Pinkprint' now out December.

Nicki Minaj has delayed the release of her new album. The “Anaconda” rapper will now unleash ‘The Pinkprint’ on December 15, the star previously revealed on Twitter that the disc would be available from November 24.It is currently unknown why Nicki has pushed back the release.

The 2014 MTV EMA host recently likened her new LP to Jay-Z's iconic record The Blueprint, explaining that she wants to set a precedent for female rappers like Jigga did for the guys.

She said: "It's gonna feel so good and it will probably be one that female rappers will look to as a 'pink print' for years to come."

Fans are yet to see a confirmed tracklist for The Pinkprint, but it's thought previously released tunes “Anaconda”, “Pills N Potions”, “Yasss Bish” and “Chi-Raq” will all feature.

‘The Pinkprint’ serves as the follow-up to Nicki's No.1 album ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded’, which was released in 2012.
