Nicki Minaj and Beyoncé collaborated on “Feeling Myself” from the former’s Pinkprint album in 2014, and also collaborated on Bey’s “Flawless (Remix)” that same year.
In a 2022 conversation with Barbz on Twitter, Minaj pointed out that she had made her relationship with the R&B queen known years before they were in a relationship.
The “Anaconda” rapper tweeted that when she wrote her 2010 song “Girls Fall Like Dominoes,” in which she raps, “I went to Paris with Beyoncé, shit,” she even Haven’t met Bey yet.
“When I wrote ‘GFLD,’ I had nothing but imagination and I said, ‘I went to Paris with Beyoncé,'” Nicki wrote. “Never met/spoke to her. I would definitely not work with her. She first invited me to perform with her at the end of my third album #ThePinkprint. In Paris.”
As for her new nail line, Beyoncé isn’t the only celebrity Nicki Minaj has gifted. Kim Kardashian was one of the recipients, but it was the excited Northwesterners who ended up enjoying the gift.
The reality star recently took to her Instagram Story to share how Nicki’s Pink Friday 2 gift was playfully intercepted by her daughter.
“Well, I just got home and I’m so excited about this package,” she exclaimed as she opened the gift. “Yet, that’s what’s happening,” she continued, holding up the partially used pressure nail.
