BLACKPINK’s Lisa recently made waves with her solo comeback, dropping two hit singles, ROCKSTAR and New Woman featuring Rosalia. As the buzz around her solo career intensifies, rumours are swirling that she is gearing up to release her debut solo album, with a potential collaboration with American rapper Nicki Minaj.

Following the release of Lisa’s latest track New Woman, the internet was abuzz with speculation. The latest rumours suggest that Lisa’s new agency, LLOUD, has reached out to Nicki Minaj’s label, Republic Records, in hopes of securing a collaboration between the two powerhouse artists. According to reports, Lisa’s upcoming solo album will feature four tracks, two of which — ROCKSTAR and New Woman — have already been released. The rumour also hints that Nicki Minaj might be featured on the album’s fourth single.

Lisa has never been shy about her admiration for Nicki Minaj. On multiple occasions, she has expressed her desire to collaborate with the Anaconda rapper, citing her as a major inspiration. A few years ago, Lisa even performed Nicki’s Swalla on stage, showcasing her admiration for the artist.

Adding fuel to the fire, Nicki Minaj recently added Lisa’s single ROCKSTAR to her Stationhead thread, showing support for female musicians. This move has only heightened speculation that a collaboration between the two artists is on the horizon. BLINKs, Lisa’s dedicated fanbase, are eagerly awaiting an official confirmation of the rumours.

On the work front, Lisa’s latest single New Woman, featuring Rosalia, was released earlier today, accompanied by a retro-themed music video. This follows her highly-anticipated solo comeback on June 28 with ROCKSTAR. Fans are thrilled to see Lisa expressing herself through her music under her solo label LLOUD, and the potential collaboration with Nicki Minaj could mark another significant milestone in her career.
