I guess it is quite weird that it refers to a long period of time. Another phrase that means the same thing is "it's been a while".

Koheisan, I don't use the phrase "It's been a minute," but I think it could be a form of humor. To check on this, I asked Google about the phrase, and I saw that is true. In my research, I also read: "This slang meaning was first recorded among Black Americans in the 1970s, and later adopted by college students before spreading into mainstream culture."
