Nicki Minaj’s “Pink Friday 2” Achievements

Earlier this week, Nicki Minaj peeled back the curtain on her creative process during an Instagram Live. She broke down the songwriting process of one of the new album’s biggest hits, “FTCU.” It’s the same song that she revealed J. Cole took a particular interest in when she first played it for him prior to the release of the album.

It’s the same track that Nicki has been teasing an upcoming remix for. While she didn’t say who would be joining her on the song she did say it was a male rapper. That’s why after learning of his pre-release intrigue with the song many suspected that Cole was the artist joining her for a remix. Nicki hasn’t shared an official release date for the remix yet.
