Nicki Minaj was surprised to learn that her Pink Friday 2 perfume was already available at JCPenny when fans showed it off on Twitter, last week. Over the course of a series of posts on the platform, she came to realize she was out of the loop.
“I had no idea. Was informed of nothing. Didn’t get a link to post. just woke up one day & boom!" Minaj wrote, responding to one fan who alerted her. "Saw y’all discussing it. Noreen from my fragrance co advised that she’ll be getting back to me w/answers on this right away. Apparently she had no clue either. Go figure.”

When another fan showed off that they got the perfume in person, Minaj wrote: “Oh wow. So not only was that link real but it’s physically in STORES?!?!!!!! Wow. Well boo, thank you for your support. I don’t even have the official box ORRR bottle yet. I was told it would be on Amazon 1st & JCPenny following week or2 but maybe plans did the ol switcheroo.” In her next post, she added: “There clearly was some sort of mix up; but make no mistake, we are honored & grateful to have my official #PinkFriday2PERFUME @ #JCPenny I’ll get back to you guys to confirm the Amazon release date.” Check out the posts on Twitter below.
