Nicki Minaj is getting ready for some exciting tingz coming up on the road to releasing her new album. She recently hopped on Twitter to interact with some of the Barbz and teased some new potential new album material that could be released soon.

Minaj responded to one fan's tweet that speculated the rapper would be performing at the Billboard Music Awards by saying that she would not be, but that fans could expect a special surprise during her Saturday Night Live performance on May 19. 

Can’t anymore, my darlings. Doing SNL the day b4. Can’t make it to LA in time to rehearse on the BBMA stage. But SNL will be VERY worth it & that’s all I’ll say about THAT. ♥️👅🙌🏽🦄 https://t.co/ezgzv2daKz

After dropping the major hint, fans went wild begging for more information or hints as to the details of what this particular performance might be like. One user asked Minaj to spill the tea on SNL, and she ran with it, teasing a little more.

I’ll perform a song you never heard b4. My fave on the album. 👅🦄 plus my second song. You can prob guess what that’s gonna be. https://t.co/SABvJNfa27

When another fan guessed as to what track she would be debuting, Minaj cleared things up saying that it would, in fact, be the album opener.

That wasn't all the tea Minaj was ready to spill, though. Nicki seems to have finalized the plans for a new world tour as well, and she's highly leaning towards some new concert experiences. She teased that those at the tour will be elevated to "Team Minaj ELITE" with possible VIP meet and greet packages, and other surprises.

US first. Then ALL AROUND THE WORLD. BUT THERE’S another surprise you won’t know. Bwahaaahahaaaaaa. The ones at the tour will be elevated to Team Minaj ELITE. Yes, I’m leaning towards M&G’s. Only cuz my babies been so patient. But pls don’t hold me to it. Love, #ChunLi https://t.co/lrUVVL7o8t

It looks like Minaj is ready to pull out all the stops to make this latest era legendary. She knows how long the Barbz have waited, and it seems that she's planning to give them exclusive experiences. After clearing up the uncomfortable drama of the Cardi B/Migos saga, and coming back strong with two singles—one of which has since sparked a viral internet challenge—Minaj is ready to reclaim her throne and give the girls all they've been waiting for.
