Taking to Twitter, where it seems most issues are resolved in the music world, Nicki Minaj addressed Jessie J’s statement to Glamour, suggesting that the femcee had requested to be on her hit track ‘Bang Bang.’
Elaborating on what went down, Nicki said:
“Babe @JessieJ I didn’t hear the song & ask 2get on it,” Nicki explained. “The label asked me2get on it & paid me. How would I have heard the song? [weary face emoji] chiiille what am I the damn song monitor? Snoopin around for songs chile? [crying laughing emoji] This was said by another artist recently as well. Yallgotta stop [red balloon emoji] LoveUFace [kissy face with heart emoji].”

Rather, the ‘Trollz’ rapper said she would have loved to jump on Jessie’s ‘Like a dude’ track, saying she was obsessed with the tune right from the get-go. Before explaining how she came to hear the track.
Chi😂😂😂 but the worst part about this is no1EVER asked me2get on “like a dude” & I have been obsessed w|that song since the min I heard it. I was doing promo in the UK & heard it on the radio. My artist Parker co wrote it. I would’ve gotten on that 1 for some pickle juice 🥺 https://t.co/ORRqE4Z1pN

Jessie J stated in the interview that Max Martin pitched the song to her and Ariana Grande, and the two chose to record it together.
She explained: “I recorded the first verse, and then Nicki was played it in the studio and was like, ‘I’ve gotta jump on this,’” Jessie said to Glamour. “We didn’t go to her and ask; she wanted to do it. I’ll never forget: I was in my bedroom in my flat in London, and I got sent the version with Nicki on it. I just sat at the end of the bed holding my phone, staring at the floor, going, ‘How the fuck did I land this? ’”
