Online users went crazy after seeing Nicki’s post, sharing photos and videos of their previous moments on stage and at award shows. “THE BEST FEMALE DUO EVER,” one person wrote, while someone else commented, “NICKIANA IS ALIVE,” adding, “Make a collab again,” referring to their 2014 hit song with Jessie J ‘Bang Bang’ and their 2018 song ‘Side to Side,’ among others.

If you’re going to have a rapper on a song, they need to really really really be there for a reason, and she does that every single time,” she said to The Fader Magazine.
