Nicki Minaj has unlocked a new way to keep herself in front of her adoring fans at all times. The Queen of the Barbz just released her new mobile video game, Nicki Minaj: The Empire, for free. a day earlier than expected. “Looks like my game/app came early. Honestly didn’t know til a few mins ago. DOWNLOAD IT NOW #NickiMinajTheEMPIRE,” she wrote on Instagram.
The game’s unveiling brings with it a new song, titled “Ain’t Gone Do It,” accessible to those who download the free app. Created by the developers behind Kim Kardashian: Hollywood, gameplay involves users building up their very own rap star character by writing and recording over pre-loaded beats, with “Ain’t Gone Do It” being one of them. The song itself leans towards Nicki’s more accessible, mainstream material but still has a little bite to it, opening up with the lines “Who the f*ck told you that I had no chill? Who the f*ck told you we was splitting that bill?” and other moments like “Spur of the moment I ball like Ginobli/ESPN photo shoot and with Kobe/You photo shop bitches be needing Adobe.”

There’s no official word regarding how many times the app has been downloaded so far. But, if your homegirl seems suddenly preoccupied with her phone over the next few days, chances are it’s because she’s working on getting her bars up.
