Barbie's back! After months of remaining under the radar, Nicki Minaj took to social media to unveil two new singles that will be released on Thursday, April 12.

Nicki's Return

In the first photo, the former American Idol judge poses alongside four women who appear to be wearing masks as they are all dressed in gowns.

"#BarbieTingz Thursday 10amPst 1pmEst Everywhere," the songwriter captioned the photo.

In the second shot, the Grammy-nominated rapper sits on a chair as she wears a Fendi sweater with matching Fendi underwear and has her hair in two space buns. The "Motorsport" artist accessorized the look with a pair of gold door knocker earrings, a gold necklace, and several bracelets and rings.

"#ChunLi Thursday 10amPst 1pmEst everywhere," Nicki labeled the shot.

The posts immediately shocked fans as Nicki has reportedly been on a hiatus from the public eye as she works to perfect her next studio album. Those that follow the "Super Bass" rapper on social media know that she hasn't posted anything on social media since December 2017.

Until recently in March, she unexpectedly appeared in a Mercedes-Benz commercial. The video shows a woman riding in her vehicle as she talks to her interactive radio Mercedes audio system. The woman then asks the audio system to play some hip-hop music, which causes Nicki to appear in the passenger seat next to her. The 35-year-old songwriter then shows off the car's ability to avoid traffic blocks.

Nicki Stands Out At Lakers Game

It looks like the announcement of her new music has brought Nicki out of hiding as she appeared at a Los Angeles Lakers Game on Tuesday, April 10.

The actress turned heads as she sat on the courtside in a leather look which featured a strapless top and matching skirt with fishnet stockings and black heels. The ensemble was complete with studs and spikes. The Pinkprint star topped the outfit off with black sunglasses and wore her hair in a high bun.
