'Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded - The Re-Up' is a special box set reissue of the Trinidadian rapper's second studio album, featuring eight additional songs and a behind-the-scenes DVD, reported Digital Spy online.

Released on November 19, the album has not done as well as expected, according to a report from Pop Crush.

"It is hard to get the album because the stores basically said that the last few re-releases they had put out did not do well and they didn't want to take a chance," Minaj said in a radio interview.

"So Target and Walmart are not selling the album. And Target is actually my biggest retailer. They have sold the most Nicki Minaj albums ever; thank you Target, but I wish you could have sold this one... It kind of sets you up to fail," she added.

Minaj has released several new singles from the reissue, including 'The Boys' and, most recently, 'Freedom'.

"At the end of the day I'm happy that I was able to put the music out. The real reason for me to put out The Re-Up is because I wanted to have a bridge between this time and the third album. I wanted people to have music that I really stand by," she said.
