has decided to push back the release date of her upcoming album The Pinkprint to December 15 which was earlier scheduled for a November 24 release, reported Ace showbiz.

The delay was announced in a statement released to promote Only, Minaj's new single from the album.

Produced by Dr Luke, Cirkut and J Mike, the track features Drake, Lil Wayne and Chris Brown.

In addition to Only, The Pinkprint will include Pills N Potions and smashing hit Anaconda. The latter song, which samples Sir Mix-a-Lot 1992 hit Baby's Got Back, peaked at No. 2 on Billboard Hot 100.

Minaj isn't the only Young Money artist whose anticipated new album gets delayed. Earlier this week, Young Money's Mac Maine said that Wayne's Tha Carter V would not arrive on October 28 as was scheduled.
