So much for Valentine's Day.

Nicki Minaj has announced that the release of the eagerly anticipated follow-up to her hit debut, Pink Friday, will be a couple months late.

Originally scheduled to drop on Feb. 14, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, won't be out until April 3.

"But have no fear," Minaj tweeted. "Tons of surprises before then ;). Love Always, HB."

And what she may be lacking in the creative-new-album-name department, she more than makes up for with razzle-dazzle in her spankin' new video for "Stupid Hoe"!

There all kinds of kooky creatures in her F-bomb-dropping, NSFW video (so click only if you have a few unprofessional moments to yourself), not least of which is Minaj herself.

Taking the concept behind Pink's "Stupid Girls" to a whole new in-your-face level, wild animals enjoy a few closeups while Minaj writhes in a cage, name-checks Rolls Royce Phantoms and shares the screen with what appears to be a naked Barbie bottom.

And the "stupid hoes" of the world better watch out.

Just as Beyoncé has Sasha Fierce and Eminem has Slim Shady, Minaj alter-ego "Roman Zolanski"—the raging identical twin who takes over when she's angry—takes center stage on Roman Reloaded.

Minaj and her all her bad selves will make their Grammy performance debuts on Feb. 12.
