What’s up y’all, it’s Emile Ennis Jr. here with Clevver Music, and the Barbz are
about to see a whole new side of Nicki Minaj, as the queen is releasing a new docu-series
that will give a glimpse inside her personal life and professional journey.
Nicki announced the news on the 10 year anniversary of the release of her debut album, ‘Pink
Friday.’
Ahh, the nostalgia!
Nicki took to Instagram to announce the news with this video.
“What’s up y’all, it’s Onika Tanya Maraj, and I’m very excited to finally share
with you guys that my docu-series is coming to HBO Max!”
And she continued to share what fans can expect from the new docu-series.
“And u, it’s gonna give you guys a raw, unfiltered look at my personal life, and my
um, professional journey, and I can’t wait to share it with you!”
Along with the video, Nicki posted this caption, writing, “I am beyond grateful & excited
to share this news with you guys today. I couldn’t be more thrilled to have #HBOMAX
on board to help me tell my story in this delicate & memorable way. A way that my fans
will love forever. This doc is next level. I can promise you that.”
People reports that the docu-series will include six 30 minute episodes in which Nicki will
quote, “guide viewers through the most challenging and fulfilling times in her life, navigating
highs, lows and misguided agendas in her stratospheric rise to fame and her journey to motherhood."
Nicki is one of the executive producers of the project, and will work alongside Emmy
nominated director and showrunner, Michael John Warren, who she’s worked with multiple
times in the past.
He directed Nicki’s 2010 documentary, ‘Nicki Minaj: My Time Now’ and her 2015 documentary,
‘Nicki Minaj: My Time Again.”
In the press release, Michael expressed how he feels about working on the new project,
saying quote, "I love that this series not only provides an all-access glimpse at one
of the most iconic musicians of our generation; it also profiles the brave woman behind the
artist, Onika."
He continued to say quote, “I believe all of us can learn a great deal from her remarkable
professional and personal life. It's an honor to be entrusted with this dynamic story."
And Michael also took to Instagram to share this hilarious fan edit, writing, “Things
that randomly show up on Twitter when your new Nicki Minaj doc series is announced. Thanks
to whoever made this. I look amazing.”
And I have to agree, he does look amazing!
Michael also reposted Nicki’s video announcement, writing, “Truly honored to be telling her
story again. What a decade it's been!”
Although the release date for the docu-series has not yet been announced, Barbz are already
gearing up for the project, and they’ve taken to the comment section of Nicki’s
announcement post to share their excitement.
One fan wrote, “HBO MAX?!?! I knew I was doing the lord’s work getting that subscription!!!

Another fan shared, “!!!!!!! i watch My Time Now and My Time Again for motivation
ALL THE TIME. excited isn’t even the word.”
And this person commented, “Congrats Nicki this is so amazing! HBO MAX! Is for the big
dawgs.”
Nicki and the Barbz have a whole lot to celebrate this week! As if celebrating 10 years of ‘Pink
Friday’ and gearing up for a brand new HBO Max docu-series wasn’t enough, Nicki also
just took home two AMA awards on Sunday, one for Best Female Hip Hop/Rap Artist and the
other for Best Latin Song, for her epic collaboration with Karol G, ‘Tusa.’
She took to Instagram to thank her fans, sharing this video.
“Y’all, we wanna say thank you so much to the AMA’s and to my fans, you guys are
always voting and loving me and I love you back, like I, I just f**king, I’m obsessed

And Nicki continued to tease her upcoming projects, saying this.
“But we here at team Nicki love you and we appreciate you and we wanna say thank you,
