Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj have joined forces once again on the "Banned From NO" remix, and Barbie's verse got fans buzzing.
On Wednesday, June 11, Weezy released the remix to the stand-out track from his new album Tha Carter VI. Minaj takes over the record with her catchy chorus before she unleashes some vicious wordplay on her lengthy verse. She mentions her stunning Vogue Italia cover, her successful "Pink Friday 2 World Tour," and her recent Met Gala look before she seemingly fires a shot at JAY-Z and the NFL.
"French vanilla hazelnut in my Starbucks, NFL, fire some n***as and then call us!" she spits.
"Say you Pushing P, ok, Rest In P bitch!" Nicki raps on her verse. "Bout to cop you Slides/All you do is flip-flop/If I send a pic of Shannon, you ain’t that Sharpe."
Fans think Nicki Minaj is shading the Roc Nation founder over the decision to have Kendrick Lamar perform at the 2025 Super Bowl Halftime Show in New Orleans instead of Lil Wayne. The Hollygrove native said he was "hurt" when he found out Lamar was selected over him. The Compton rapper even mentioned the controversy in "Wacced Out Murals" from his GNX album. Both Wayne and Lamar hashed out their differences after the drama subsided, but Minaj is apparently still holding a grudge against Hov.
The "Banned From NO" Remix is available as a bonus track on Wayne's Tha Carter VI album. Their latest collaboration arrived shortly after Weezy's historic show at Madison Square Garden, which went down the same day he dropped the album. Listen to the song below.
