'''''Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded'''''{{efn|also stylized as '''''Pink Friday ... Roman Reloaded''''' and known as '''Roman Reloaded'''}} is the second album by<!-- Do not add Trinidadian here. --> rapper and singer Nicki Minaj. It was released on April 2, 2012, by Cash Money Records, Universal Republic Records and Young Money Entertainment. Looking to transition from her debut album, ''Pink Friday'' (2010), Minaj wanted to make a follow-up record about "just having fun". Stylistically, the album is divided by a first half of hip-hop tracks and a second half of dance-pop songs. As executive producer, Minaj enlisted a variety of collaborators.
Upon its release, ''Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded'' received generally mixed reviews from critics, who were ambivalent towards Minaj's exploration of dance-pop. It debuted at number one on the US ''Billboard'' 200 selling 253,000 copies in its first week, making it Minaj's second number-one album in the country, and her first to debut at the top of the chart. In November 2024, the album was certified quadruple platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) for moving four million album-equivalent units, becoming Minaj's highest-certified album in the US yet. Internationally, the album peaked at number one in Canada and the United Kingdom, and reached the top five in Australia, Ireland, and New Zealand.
The album was promoted with six singles. Its lead single "Starships" peaked at number five on the US ''Billboard'' Hot 100 and was later certified Diamond by the RIAA. Follow-up singles "Right by My Side" and "Beez in the Trap" experienced moderate success on the Hot R&B/Hip-Hop Songs chart. "Pound the Alarm" and "Va Va Voom" peaked at numbers fifteen and twenty-two on the ''Billboard'' Hot 100, respectively. "Automatic" was released as a single only in France, where it peaked at number 102 on the SNEP chart. The album was additionally promoted through the Pink Friday Tour and the Pink Friday: Reloaded Tour, which visited North America, Asia, Europe, and Oceania throughout 2012 following the album's release.
The album was reissued in November 2012, as ''Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded – The Re-Up''. In addition to the original album, the reissue includes seven new songs and an additional DVD, which was filmed during the Pink Friday Tour.

When Minaj was asked on Twitter to describe the album in one word, she tweeted "freedom".<ref name=RapUp>{{cite web|title=NICKI MINAJ: 'ROMAN RELOADED' REPRESENTS 'FREEDOM'|url=http://www.rap-up.com/2012/03/06/nicki-minaj-roman-reloaded-represents-freedom/|first=|last=|date=March 6, 2012|website=Rap-Up.com|access-date=March 17, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210128114710/http://www.rap-up.com/2012/03/06/nicki-minaj-roman-reloaded-represents-freedom/|archive-date=January 28, 2021|url-status=live}}</ref> In an interview following the premiere of the album's lead single, "Starships", Minaj told Ryan Seacrest, "I've never had this much fun recording music in my life. My first album I was very guarded. I felt like I was making music to please everyone else. I had to be politically correct, but this album I am just creating music, and there's such a big difference. Literally in the studio we were cracking up laughing, having fun, and enjoying ourselves. The music itself you're going to get every side that I've ever shown and then a little bit extra. I've tried to make it very, very balanced, because I don't ever want to be boxed in, and that's always what drives me. So I made a very diverse album." She added that with her first album, "I was a too open Nicki Minaj. It felt more to me like a diary, the songs were more introspective and stuff like that...with this particular album I felt that it was time to give people a moment to enjoy the lyrics, and enjoy the beats, and enjoy the voices. When I was going to do my first album people would say, 'What is she going to talk about? Is she just going to talk about sex?' So I made it my business to make an album that did not talk about sex at all. I made it my business to make an album that wasn't a vulgar album, because [on] my mixtapes I was very, very...outlandish on my mixtapes. With this album I'm going back to not necessarily to that sound, but that feeling. The feeling of 'I don't care what you think!' That's what it is."<ref>{{cite web|url=http://ryanseacrest.com/2012/02/14/world-premiere-listen-to-nicki-minajs-new-single-starships-audio/|title=WORLD PREMIERE: Listen To Nicki Minaj's New Single 'Starships' [AUDIO] | Ryan Seacrest – The official entertainment news site of American Idol host and American Top 40 on air radio personality!|publisher=On Air with Ryan Seacrest|date=February 14, 2012|access-date=April 3, 2012|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20210415153745/http://ryanseacrest.com/2012/02/14/world-premiere-listen-to-nicki-minajs-new-single-starships-audio/|archive-date=April 15, 2021|url-status=dead}}</ref> Minaj also spoke on the concept behind her first two albums, saying: "Sometimes I felt the first album was a little too revealing, too emotional at times, and the other thing about your first album is that you've had all these emotions pent up inside to release and that's what you do on your debut. On the second album I was more concerned about just having fun".<ref>{{cite web|url=http://thatgrapejuice.net/2012/07/nicki-minaj-compares-albums-revealing/#more-85109|title=Nicki Minaj Compares Albums / "My First Was Too Revealing"|date=July 27, 2012|work=ThatGrapeJuice.net|archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20181118155446/http://thatgrapejuice.net/2012/07/nicki-minaj-compares-albums-revealing/|archive-date=November 18, 2018|url-status=live}}</ref>

Minaj said in an interview with ''Rap-Up'', "I had this vision for [alter-ego, Roman Zolanski] to be sort of exorcised—or actually he never gets exorcised—but people around him tell him he's not good enough because he's not normal, he's not blending in with the average Joe. And so his mother is scared and the people around him are afraid because they've never seen anything like him. He wanted to show that not only is he amazing and he's sure of himself and confident, but he's never gonna change, he's never gonna be exorcised. Even when they throw the holy water on him, he still rises above."
