Nicki Minaj has teased a collaboration with Rihanna on the upcoming deluxe edition of Pink Friday 2.
Over a clip of RiRi dancing to Nicki’s song “FTCU” at her recent Fenty x PUMA event, the Young Money hitmaker wrote on Instagram: “The full gag city deluxe ain’t coming out until Queen Rih send her vocals. POW.”

Since its release on December 8, Pink Friday 2 has already spawned a number of bonus songs including a collaboration with 50 Cent and another seeing Minaj link up with Monica and Keyshia Cole.
But her post seems to suggest there is more Pink Friday 2 material on the way, including her first collaboration with Rihanna since their 2010 song “Fly,” which featured on Minaj’s debut album Pink Friday.
The superstars also teamed up on “Raining Men,” from RiRi’s Loud LP which also dropped in 2010.
Rihanna has not released an album since 2016’s ANTI and has seldom released music of any kind in the seven years since.
Some of her most notable recordings in that time period including “Lift Me Up” from the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack and a collaboration with PARTYNEXTDOOR.

In a recent interview with Andy Cohen, Nicki Minaj talked about her long-running admiration of Rihanna.
“There are two women that I have looked up to in the music industry since I have come in it in a different way, just because of who they are and where I’m from and who I am,” she said. “Of course, Bey and Rih.”
Meanwhile, Nicki recently broke numerous records thanks to Pink Friday 2, further writing herself into the history books.
The project debuted atop the Billboard 200 with 228,000 equivalent album units in its first week, handing Nicki her third No. 1 album — the most of any female rapper.

Nicki was previously tied with Foxy Brown, who topped the chart twice in the 1990s with her solo album Chyna Doll and The Firm: The Album, a collaboration with Nas, AZ, and Nature.
She also reached a new milestone on the Billboard Hot 100 as Pink Friday 2 placed 17 songs on the chart, the most of any album from a female rapper.
