Nicki Minaj put Stephen Colbert’s freestyle skills to the test during her recent visit – and he did not disappoint!
The head Barb was a guest on The Late Show on Wednesday (December 20), stopping by to discuss her chart-topping album, Pink Friday 2. When asked if she could do a freestyle, Minaj brought the beat by banging on the table and remixed PF2 cut “FTCU,” instructing Stephen to finish the lyrics with his own bars.

“High heels on for Stevie/If I marry Stevie, he ain’t ever gon’ leave me,” Minaj began (taking from the original lines, “High heels on my tippies/Dolce and Gabbana, that’s on my titties) to which Colbert responded: “High heels are not Nicki/You better hope you never meet my wife Evie!”
Watch the hilarious moment below.
Pink Friday 2 debuted atop the Billboard 200 with 228,000 equivalent album units in its first week, handing Nicki Minaj her third No. 1 album — the most of any female rapper.
Since its release on December 8, the effort has already spawned a number of bonus songs including a collaboration with 50 Cent and another seeing Minaj link up with Monica and Keyshia Cole.

But a recent post seems to suggest there is more Pink Friday 2 material on the way, as Minaj posted a clip of Rihanna dancing to “FTCU” at her recent Fenty x PUMA event with the caption: “The full gag city deluxe ain’t coming out until Queen Rih send her vocals. POW.”
The pair have not collaborated since 2010 with their song “Fly” on Minaj’s debut album Pink Friday, and then again on “Raining Men” on RiRi’s Loud LP that same month.
Meanwhile, Rihanna has not released an album since 2016’s ANTI and has seldom released music of any kind in the seven years since.
Some of her most notable recordings in that time period including “Lift Me Up” from the Black Panther: Wakanda Forever soundtrack and a collaboration with PARTYNEXTDOOR.

In a recent interview with Andy Cohen, Nicki Minaj talked about her long-running admiration of the Bajan superstar.
“There are two women that I have looked up to in the music industry since I have come in it in a different way, just because of who they are and where I’m from and who I am,” she said. “Of course, Bey and Rih.”
