'There was some sort of mix-up': Nicki Minaj expresses surprise as new fragrance sells out without her knowledge
LOS ANGELES, CALIFORNIA: Nicki Minaj was genuinely surprised to discover that her new fragrance was already available for sale!
In a tweet on Saturday, November 25, the rapper disclosed that she had no idea her Pink Friday 2 Eau de Parfum would be released so soon.
"I had no idea. I was informed of nothing. Didn't get a link to post. Just woke up one day, and boom!" Minaj expressed.
“saw y’all discussing it. Noreen from my fragrance co advised that she’ll be getting back to me w/answers on this right away. Apparently, she had no clue either. Go figure,” she added.
"Wow. Well, boo, thank you for your support. I don't even have the official box OR bottle yet," Minaj wrote. "I was told it would be on Amazon first & JCPenney the following week or two, but maybe plans did the ol' switcheroo."
