Nicki Minaj Contradicts Jessie J's Statement About How She Ended Up On 'Bang Bang'

Nicki Minaj has weighed in on Jessie J’s recent statements about how she ended up on the 2014 hit song “Bang Bang.” After Jessie J implied in an interview that Minaj had asked to contribute to the single, Minaj took to Twitter to say it wasn’t how she remembered things.

In a Glamour interview published Thursday, Jessie J claimed that Nicki asked to contribute to “Bang Bang” after she and Ariana Grande had thought about collaborating on the music. “Max Martin wrote ‘Bang Bang,’ and Ariana had been played it, I’d been played it, and we both loved it,” Jessie J said in the interview.

“We just said, ‘Why don’t we both do it?’ So Ariana stayed on the second verse, I recorded the first verse, and then Nicki was played it in the studio and was like, ‘I’ve got to jump on this.’ We didn’t go to her and ask; she wanted to do it,” she added during the interview.

In response to Jessie J's remarks, Minaj took to Twitter to share her recollection of the song’s origin. “Babe @JessieJ I didn’t hear the song & ask 2get on it,” she wrote. “The label asked me2get on it & paid me. How would I have heard the song?”

“Chiiille what am I the damn song monitor? Snoopin around for songs chile? This was said by another artist recently as well. Yallgotta stop. LoveU,” she continued in her tweet.

The singer further clarified she did not have any hard feelings towards Jessie J, saying she wished she could have been part of her 2011 song “Do It Like a Dude.”

“Chi but the worst part about this is no1EVER asked me2get on ‘like a dude’ & I have been obsessed w that song since the min I heard it,” she wrote. “I was doing promo in the UK & heard it on the radio. My artist Parker co wrote it. I would’ve gotten on that 1 for some pickle juice.”

“Bang Bang” featured the vocals of Minaj, Jessie J and Grande. It was a single from Jessie J’s “Sweet Talker” album which was also featured in the deluxe edition of Ariana’s album “My Everything.”
