In a remarkable musical collaboration, Nicki Minaj, the vivacious rap queen, has paired up with Travis Scott, Sexyy Red, and Chris Brown to revamp thePink Friday 2track, “FTCU.” This latest offering, christened the “Sleeze Mix,” sees Minaj creating an alluring fusion of styles and voices, adding a fresh dimension to the original track.
The “Sleeze Mix” of “FTCU” arrives as a novel sonic experience, enriched by the unique contributions of some of the music industry’s heavyweights. Minaj’s collaboration history with these artists adds an interesting backstory to this remix.
“The “Sleeze Mix” updates the track with contributions from some heavy hitters, two of whom she’s collaborated with before. She joined Sexyy Red for the remix of the fan-favorite “Pound Town,” and linked with Brown for at least six Hot 100 charting tracks throughout the years.”
The mix’s most intriguing element, however, is Minaj’s alliance with Travis Scott, a move that might surprise some followers. It’s no secret that Minaj had previously criticized Scott when his 2018 album Astroworld secured the No. 1 spot over Queen due to his use of merch bundles. This collaboration signals a new chapter in their professional relationship, adding an extra layer of intrigue to the “FTCU (Sleeze Mix).”
This remix signifies Minaj’s first new material since her sharp response to Megan Thee Stallion’s “Hiss” with “Big Foot.” The latter track references a 2020 incident that resulted in Tory Lanez being convicted for shooting the Houston rapper in the foot.
In related news, Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty, has been granted legal permission to accompany her on the Pink Friday 2 World Tour. Petty’s probation for failing to register as a sex offender in California had cast a shadow over his ability to travel. The tour commenced in the United States in March and is set to hit global cities from next month.
Music enthusiasts can now tune into the “FTCU (Sleeze Mix)” on popular music platforms like Spotify and Apple Music. This remix promises to be a memorable addition to Minaj’s discography, showcasing her versatility and evolving artistry.
In conclusion, the “FTCU (Sleeze Mix)” marks a significant milestone in Nicki Minaj’s career.
