Sometimes, when things are ominously quiet in the music world, it just means something massive is on the way. So when Nicki Minaj announced a new album on Twitter suddenly on Saturday night, it almost seemed true.
Ok u know what I wasn't gonna say anything but damn ya got it out of me. The album drops at midnight. 🎀💋 it's called #PickMyFruitOut

Sure, Pick My Fruit Out seemed like a strange name for an album, but so is Pinkprint and that actually exists. Plus, if you squint hard enough and get your mind dirty enough there’s some sexual innuendo to Pick My Fruit Out and that’s right up Nicki’s alley so, sure?
Well, it turns out she was just trolling, but she’s got a following on Twitter over 20 million strong, and Nicki’s Barbz do not play so naturally the hashtag #PickMyFruitOut started trending and so she started having some fun with it all.
First with a tracklist, with a ton of fruit titles, naturally.
Tracklist:
1. Mango
2. Cherry
3. Watermelon
4. Bananas (harambe interlude)
5. Grapes
6. Raspberries
7. Kiwi
8. Pineapple
9. Fruit Loops— Nicki Minaj (@NICKIMINAJ) October 9, 2016
Then an addition, explicit track about a certain sexual act that Nicki loves to talk about.
The one I'm most excited about, however, is track #10. It's called Nigga toss my fruit salad and it features my favorite rapper of all time

Things really got hilarious when she started retweeting fans, and this one clearly gets me because I howled at the very idea of Rick Ross on a song called “Pears” and then remembered Ricky saying “shoutout to all the pear” and I laughed some more.

Eventually, Nicki ended all the fun, thanked the fans and bowed out gracefully with a bunch of fruit emojis. She forgot the pear, though. You can’t forget “all of the pear.”
