Nicki Minaj Signals Potential Collaboration with Sabrina Carpenter, Fueling Fan Excitement
LOS ANGELES, CA – A potential collaboration between rap superstar Nicki Minaj and pop sensation Sabrina Carpenter is brewing, ignited by recent social media interactions and a history of mutual support. The exchange has sent fans into a frenzy, speculating about a future track from the two artists.
Minaj initially showed recognition for Carpenter’s song “Don’t Worry I’ll Make You Worry” from her newly released album, Man’s Best Friend, sharing the track on her Instagram Stories on August 29. This prompted Vogue Entertainment Director Sergio Kletnoy to question if a collaboration was in the works, to which Carpenter responded with heart emojis and the phrase “Love affair.” Minaj affirmed the sentiment with a salute emoji, signaling openness to the idea.
The budding connection extends beyond social media.Last year, Minaj publicly supported Carpenter during a close race for the No. 1 spot on the Billboard 200 chart between Carpenter’s short ‘n’ Sweet and Travis Scott’s DAYS BEFORE RODEO. Carpenter acknowledged Minaj’s support with a tweet, and Minaj reciprocated during an Instagram Live, shouting out Carpenter and her fans.Short ‘n’ Sweet ultimately debuted at No.1, moving 362,000 album-equivalent units in its first week-narrowly beating Scott’s reissue by just over a thousand sales.
minaj previously lauded Carpenter as a “breath of fresh air” and a “superstar” in a February interview with Vogue Italia, noting she was impressed by Carpenter’s talent despite initially being unaware of her extensive discography. Fans are now hoping a collaboration will be the next step, with some suggesting a remix of a track from Man’s Best Friend could propel the album’s sales even further. As Carpenter’s seventh studio album hits the market, the possibility of a joint project between the two artists remains a highly anticipated prospect for fans of both performers.
