The Weeknd x Nicki Minaj

Over the weekend, Nicki Minaj debuted her remix of The Weeknd’s hit song “The Hills” by performing it with him during his appearance on Saturday Night Live. As dope as the verse is, I’ve seen quite a few people say they wished she’d sang on it as well, and as it turns out – she actually did, it just didn’t make the cut!

“Lol I recorded a singing verse to it as well,” Nicki wrote while responding to fans on Twitter this week. “How long I been back from Dubai? went from coming out the following day to following month [laughing emoji]”

The latter part of her tweet is referring to her manager’s sense of urgency to have Nicki record her part, apparently lying and telling her he needed it that same night because The Weeknd wanted it to come out the next day.

“Wrote & recorded that in an hour cuz gee told me they needed it that night. #lies. I was boarding a flight to Dubai”

Hey, sometimes ya gotta do what ya gotta do to light a fire up under someone and make sure things get done! Oh, and another fun fact revealed by Minaj during the Q&A of sorts? Her verse was based on a true story. *plays verse back in my head*

“Remember that time I showed up with just panties under my coat?
High heels, they was knee high, and my legs was grippin’ that throat”

Uh, yeah…Meek is a lucky, lucky dude.
