Drake could put his stamp on Nicki Minaj’s next album.
In a Twitter Q&A with fans over the weekend, the “Bussin” rapper revealed she’d been in talks with her Young Money brother about getting him to executive produce her forthcoming fifth studio album.
“We actually talked about him doing this new album as an EP. That’s even when b4 Seeing Green came out,” Nicki said when asked if the album would feature a collaboration with Champagne Papi.
Their conversation took place ahead of the May 2021 release of Seeing Green, so it remains to be seen if Drake will release the highly anticipated project, which will be out before the summer, as an EP.
Nicki previously credited Drake with helping her overcome her writer’s block after giving birth to their son. “He single-handedly got me out of my writer’s block and I’ll never forget it and I’ll scream it from the mountain tops to the damn world,” she said on IG Live. “He’s a fucking genius as a musician but also as a person.”
During her Q&A, Nicki also considered the possibility of a Big 3 tour with Drake and Lil Wayne.
“Have you ever thought about a Big 3 Tour and maybe implemented it??? Seeing Green will sound so good live,” one fan asked.
“Yes, of course – that has been discussed many times. Really a matter of timing,” she replied. “Also IDK how all three of us would have enough time on stage to please all our diff fans. Those are pretty big catalogues.”
