Nicki Minaj has opened up about her collaboration on a new song with Adele, she called ‘epic song’. She shared the news at the launch of her Fendi Prints On Capsule fashion line in Beverly Hills, despite being sworn to secrecy.
While speaking to Entertainment Tonight about the good news, she said:
“Yes and yes, yes and yes, woohoo! Adele made me swear to secrecy that I’m not allowed to tell anyone, that I’m working with her and we already shot a music video and it’s an epic song.”
Should the song be released, it would mark Adele’s first collaboration in 10 years since she guested on Daniel Merriweather’s Water and a Flame in 2009.
The collaboration is no-doubt exciting for Adele as well, who has been an outspoken fan of Minaj for some time.
Minaj also spoke about her other collaboration coming out soon on the Charlie’s Angels soundtrack.
She teamed up with Ariana Grande and Normani for the tune “Bad To You,” and Minaj had nothing but love for Grande, and the work she’s been put in producing the film’s soundtrack.
“I’m proud of her, ’cause she executive produced that album and I’m proud to be a part of something that’s her baby,” Minaj shared.
“It’s always good working with her because we actually — unlike other artists — we actually have a real friendship outside, in the real world. People don’t realize that. Like we actually text, we actually facetime and we actually get on each other’s nerves, stuff like that.“
As for her collaboration with Fendi on her new Fendi Prints Online, the name for which comes from a line in her song “Chun-Li” — Minaj couldn’t be happier to be working with the iconic luxury fashion house.
“I am so grateful to everyone at Fendi. My work and relationship with them as been ideal since the day I went out there to meet with them,” Minaj shared.
“I’m honoured, of course. It’s Fendi! It’s a big freaking deal! And I had no idea by saying ‘Fendi’ my song that it would turn into a line, and thank God it did.“
