Ahead of New Nicki Minaj Album, We're Entering Fan-Built 'Gag City'
Kilian Melloy READ TIME: 5 MIN.
Generously, Barbz have allowed that Minaj isn't the only game in town. The news outlet related that "fans are asking AI to create what it would look like when other celebrities visit Gag City, like Michael Jackson or Ariana Grande."
Other elements of the wider pop culture also readily seeped across the borders of the digital metropolis.
Even so, Minaj remains very much the mayor, if you will, of Gag City, as seen in "AI images of 'Nicki Minaj... giving away free CDs to the poor on the outskirts of Gag City,'" the Mirror recounted, not to mention one tweet that envisions how "Nicki will be giving her 'I Had a Gag' speech tomorrow ahead of pink friday 2 release."
Minaj herself got in on the fun – and inspired more AI artwork.
Minaj's "Pink Friday 2" drops tomorrow, Dec. 8.
