Nicki Minaj has officially teased her upcoming remix of Burna Boy’s hit track “Tested, Approved & Trusted” from his 2023 album, I Told Them…, sparking excitement among fans. The collaboration marks the first time that Nicki Minaj will work with the Afrofusion superstar, and early snippets reveal a unique blend of both artists’ styles.
Nicki Minaj’s New Verse Adds a Unique Flavor
On February 7, Nicki Minaj shared an Instagram preview of her new verse for the remix. The track sees Minaj bringing a laid-back flow that perfectly complements Burna Boy’s smooth and sultry hook. In this version, Nicki Minaj opts for a more relaxed delivery, playing with legato and staccato techniques, which match the deep, swinging beat of the song. Fans are already buzzing about her ability to switch up her style, showing the versatility that has kept her at the forefront of the hip-hop game for years.
A Shift Towards Peaceful Music and Relaxed Beats
This remix comes shortly after the release of “Big Foot”, a track where Nicki Minaj shifted from her usual aggressive style to a more peaceful and less confrontational approach. With her recent music, Nicki appears to be distancing herself from past feuds, including the ongoing one with Megan Thee Stallion. After Megan’s diss track “HISS” topped the charts, Nicki has focused on creative collaborations instead of fueling tensions.
Burna Boy and Nicki Minaj: The Perfect Collaboration
The upcoming remix is a significant moment for both artists, as Burna Boy’s Afrofusion style blends seamlessly with Nicki Minaj’s bold and animated delivery. Burna Boy’s international success has made him one of the most respected artists in the Afrobeats scene, while Nicki Minaj continues to dominate hip-hop and rap. This collaboration opens up new doors for both artists to reach even wider audiences, bridging the gap between the Afrobeat and hip-hop communities.
Looking Ahead: Pink Friday 2 World Tour
Along with the remix, Nicki Minaj has announced that Monica will be joining her on the Pink Friday 2 World Tour.
