Nicki Minaj Says She’d Collaborate With Taylor Swift ‘In a Heart Beat’
Written by djfrosty on December 21, 2023
Nicki Minaj is manifesting a collaboration with Taylor Swift. After congratulating the pop star for her successful year, the “Super Freaky Girl” rapper revealed on X that she wouldn’t hesitate to get in the studio with the 12-time Grammy winner.
Replying to a Barb who asked Wednesday (Dec. 20), “Would you ever collab with Taylor Swift ?” Minaj simply wrote, “In a heart beat.”
The Queen of Rap had previously shared praise for Swift on the platform, prompting the fan’s question about a potential duet between the two artists. “The [SAGITTARIUS] QUEEN TAYLOR DESERVES!!!! PERIOD!!!!!” Minaj tweeted. “She takes months & years off then comes back with great music & fans who’ll never leave her!!!!”
“The point is that we have something to aspire to as we watch the SAG QUEEN Taylor & the swifties & Republic Records,” she continued in a follow-up tweet.
In many regards, a team-up from Minaj and Swift is long overdue. The pair have supported each other publicly for years, and the rapper has even thanked the “Anti-Hero” singer for boosting the success of “Super Bass” by promoting it back in the day. And while they had some short-lived beef in 2015 over a VMAs-related miscommunication on what was then known as Twitter, it was quickly resolved with the two women performing together at that year’s ceremony.
Earlier this year, many fans thought that the two hitmakers were finally teaming up for a shared track on Swift’s 1989 (Taylor’s Version), although hopes were squashed once the pop superstar shared the album’s track list. The fruitless theories had emerged from a Swift-themed word puzzle sponsored by Google leading up to the record’s release; one of the answers was “Sagittarius,” the astrological sign of both Swift and Minaj.
“That’s my favorite Sagittarius over there,” Swift said of the Queen Radio host at September’s VMAs.
