Nicki Minaj drops a freestyle over Drake and Meek Mill

Alongside a remix and some tour info

Nicki Minaj has dropped her first new music since last year’s Queen, in the form of a freestyle and a remix, on her Beats 1 show, Queen Radio.

The freestyle features some typically braggadocious rapping over Meek Mill and Drake’s “Going Bad”, off the former’s Championships album. Appropriately, it’s called “Barbie Goin Bad”. Among other things, it references Aretha Franklin, and there’s even a suggestion in the lyrics that Nicki “might drop a freestyle every week” (although it’s probably best to not take that as a binding promise).

As for the remix, it’s a reworking of “Drip Too Hard”, a track from Lil Baby and Gunna’s 2018 mixtape, Drip Harder.

Minaj also announced, during the radio show, that she’d recorded new music with Juice Wrld, who she’ll be on a European tour with next month. Additionally, Soulja Boy stopped by, saying that he would be joining them on the tour, which begins in Munich, February 21.
