I actually have two songs I did with Nicki Minaj. We didn't even plan on doing it that way, but it was an organic connection and just a really solid connection she and I had musically.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My whole life is about being Nicki Minaj now. It's a never-ending saga.
I put everyone in my school on to Nicki Minaj before she blew up. I was obsessed with her and I was like, 'If she's the best female rapper then I've got to be better than her.'
Even though other people wrote my songs I put my stamp on them. I have a connection, but there is no truer connection than an artists and their own song.
I try to do collaborations with as many artists as possible. It's really excellent and fun to actually work with another songwriter.
I love Nicki Minaj, Eminem, Katy Perry. They are all about being themselves and I love that.
I really like Nicki Minaj. I think she's great.
I'll be honest with you: before I heard Nicki rapping, I probably wouldn't have thought to rap myself. Just to see a female doing it and being in there with the guys, it was motivation.
Sometimes I like to make music together with a singer or with singers.
Many people say Nicki Minaj is a rapper, but she's also a singer.
I've never done songs with people just for the sake of the great combination. I've always done songs with friends.
