Nicki Minaj Calls For Young Thug’s Freedom On New Song ‘Money’ Ft. Juice WRLD
Nicki Minaj is showing her support for Young Thug, who has been placed behind bars since his arrest in a sweeping RICO case last year. The Tridadian-born star is joining forces with the Atlanta rapper on a new track lifted off his “Business Is Business (Metro’s Version)”, a deluxe edition of his recently-released album.
Dropped on Monday, June 26, the deluxe edition features two additional tracks, one of which is “Money” featuring Minaj and Juice WRLD. During her verse, the “Anaconda” hitmaker whispers, “Wait…free Thug.”
The deluxe edition also includes the official release of “Sake of My Kids”, which has been around for years.
Just hours before unveiling their collaboration, Thug and Minaj teased it with their social media interaction. He posted on his Instagram Story earlier on Monday, “Where @nickiminaj at?? It’s,” followed by briefcase emojis which meant business.
Minaj then reposted Thugger’s Story with her response. “@thuggerthugger1 bout to stand on that business right along wit u my bruva,” she replied. “Time to check these b!ches temperature, tonight just might be the night.”
Thug released the original version of “Business Is Business” on Friday, June 23. Metro Boomin is credited as executive producer of the album, which also features contributions from Drake, Future, 21 Savage, Lil Gotit, Yak Gotti, Travis Scott (II), Bslime and Fun.’s Nate Ruess.
Minaj herself recently released “Barbie World” feat. Ice Spice, which is the soundtrack of the upcoming “Barbie” live-action movie. The song will be included in the soundtrack album, which will be released the same day the Greta Gerwig-directed movie opens in U.S. theaters, Friday, July 21.
