“Gag City” takes a lot of background to explain. The word “gag” is used to voice excitement in the LGBTQ+ community, and at some point, it evolved into “gag city.” The whole thing is hard to follow, especially from the outskirts, but in the last few months of 2023, Minaj and her followers jumped on the phrase “next stop: gag city” to promote her album Pink Friday 2.

The album cover features Minaj standing in front of a skyline of pink buildings, and supporters quickly decided that this was the fabled Gag City. The meme features various AI-generated images of scenes from Gag City, a place where everything slays.
