Nicki Minaj Has Dropped Wicked Comeback Singles 'Chun-Li'And 'Barbie Tingz'

Attention, Barbz! Nicki Minaj is back. Like, back back, not just "showing up on other people's songs" back.

She just released two new songs called 'Chun-Li' and 'Barbie Tingz', and they're both so good that it really makes you wonder how you've been surviving all these months that she hasn't been releasing new solo stuff. What even has life been without her?

The first one, 'Chun-Li', is a homage to the Street Fighter character, and contains at least a few lines that you may or may not interpret as a dig at Cardi B. See below:

"How many of them coulda did it with finesse?/ Now everybody like she really is the best/ You play checkers couldn't beat me playin' chess/ Now I'm about to turn around and beat my chest."

Get it? Finesse? Like the remix Cardi B did with Bruno Mars? Cardi and Nicki just worked together on the Migos song 'MotorSport', though, so perhaps this is an unrelated use of the word "finesse".

Anyway, the other new song is called 'Barbie Tingz', and it includes plenty of Nicki's signature boasts and a moment where she turns the line "I'm a bad bitch" into a twisted nursery rhyme.

Until recently, Nicki had been radio silent on both Twitter and Instagram, leading many to believe that she'd been holed up working on new music.

Though she's been super active as a featured artist on plenty of other people's songs, Nicki hasn't released a solo album since 2014's The Pinkprint.

If there's any good in the world, these two new songs mean that more are coming, so keep your eyes on her Twitter feed — especially today, because she says she's got a third new song coming very soon.
