Minaj's announcement came after a performance at Fashion Rocks in New York, where she presented viewers with The Pinkprint's current single, "Anaconda."

"Anaconda" was preceded by "Pills N Potions," which was less of a success than the current single, which has peaked at No. 2 on the Billboard Hot 100 - particularly on the strength of its music video, which has scored millions of hits and multiple parodies.
