Nicki Minaj and Beyoncé collaborated on 2014’s “Feeling Myself” off of the former’s Pinkprint album, as well as Bey’s “Flawless (Remix)” that same year.
In a convo with her Barbz on Twitter in 2022, Minaj noted that she manifested her relationship with the R&B queen years before they ever linked up.

The “Anaconda” rapper tweeted that when she had penned her 2010 track “Girls Fall Like Dominoes” where she raps, “I’m out in Paris, muthafucka, with Beyoncé,” she hadn’t even met Bey yet.
“When I wrote GFLD i didn’t have anything but an imagination & said ‘I’m out in Paris mthafka w|Beyonce,’” Nicki wrote. “Had never met her/spoken to her. No way I’d ever work w|her. Wrapping up my 3rd album #ThePinkprint she invited me to perform w|her for the very 1st time. In Paris.”
As for her new nail line, Beyoncé wasn’t the only celeb that Nicki Minaj gifted. Kim Kardashian was notably among the recipients, but it was an excited North West who ended up enjoying the gift.
The reality TV star recently turned to her Instagram stories where she shared that Nicki’s Pink Friday 2 gift was playfully intercepted by her daughter.

“Well, I just got home and I’m so excited for this package,” she exclaimed while unboxing her swag. “However, this is what’s going on,” she continued, holding up partially used press-on nails.
“So um, looks like some little Barbz got into my package — my Pink Friday nails package that I was so excited about — so thank you Miss Westie for stealing them,” the clip concludes with both Kim and North giving a close-up of their pink and platinum manicures.
