Nicki Minaj is on fire, working on some big collaboration. The ‘Anaconda’ singer became the face of female rappers and is considered one of the best ones among them. We have seen her and Drake work before, but success, growth, and some issues led them to not create more songs together. Their mutual respect and flourishing career have brought another reunion nearly twelve years later.

The two have had a long past from making music together to giving the steamy ‘Superbass’ performance on stage. However, they fell out when Minaj began dating Meek Mill, who accused the ‘Hotline Bling’ singer of having ghostwriters. Now Drake has made all announcements that not only proved peace but also a new collaboration.

When two rappers, it unites two talents and their fan base. So when Drake announced their reunion, fans went berserk during his concert. On 8th July, Drake performed in Detroit at the Little Caesars Arena. This is when he revealed about he and Nicki Minaj doing their very first song together after a long time. He confessed to having a lot of love for the artist before moving on to his performance.

Her feature for his album will be their first in twelve years. They have a long list of collaborations, but one of the first ones released was ‘Best I Ever Had’ remix in 2009. ‘Make Me Proud’, ‘Up All Night’, and ‘We Are’ came in the following years, with the last track being ‘Papi’s Home’ in 2021. The two have shared a mutual respect for each other, and Drake even confessed to liking her once.
