This is the pair’s second collaboration. Nicki previously hopped on Ice Spice’s “Princess Diana.” The New York rapper released four remixes after their collab in April.

The original version of “Princess Diana” is from the Bronx native’s debut EP Like…? which dropped in January. The six-track EP included three new offerings, including “Princess Diana,” “Actin A Smoochie,” and “Gangsta Boo” featuring Lil Tjay. It also featured “Bikini Bottom,” “In Ha Mood,” and her breakout hit “Munch (Feeln’ U).”

However, Nicki has something big planned for her own Barbz as she is set to finally release her fifth studio album.

“10/20/23 The Album,” the rapper wrote adding her signature pink bow emoji and a CD emoji to the tweet.

The Queens native previously teased her album and tour in May.

“Oh yes fractions warned, SFG did what fractions warned. Red Ruby Da Sleeze MOTHERED so hard & is now the standard. NM5 is the best thing that will come out of 2023 & will raise the bar to new & unreachable heights. NM5 tour will be hailed as ‘genius’. That’s it & that’s all,” Nicki tweeted Wednesday (May 10).

Nicki’s last full-length project was in 2018 titled Queen.
