American rapper Nicki Minaj releases her debut single of the year

American female hip hop singer, Nicki Minaj has released her maiden track of the year.

Dubbed “Yikes,” the hip hop mix was released on last week Friday and encourages people to work hard.

The release of “Yikes” comes after Minaj’s Twitter spat with ex boyfriend Meek Mill who is also a rapper.

The two pointed accusing finger on each other, with Nicki Minaj alleging that Meek beat women and Meek frowning on the manner Nicki  was defending her brother, who was recently convicted for raping a minor and sentenced to 25 years life in prison.

Although fans were expecting the pop singer to release her fifth album, but Nicki promised to make the album surprise.

She said in an interview that the releasing of an album was supposed to be a surprise not something that people have to know about it.

Fans believed the track was setting a tone for the release of the singer’s fifth album.

Before the release of the track the war on twitter between the ex lovers spark lots of controversies.
