It’s a Younger Cash reunion and the remix, child. After Nicki Minaj was noticeably absent from Tha Carter VI, the Queen reunited with Lil Wayne for the “Banned From NO (Remix)” on Wednesday (June 11).
Followers had been disenchanted after a rumored C6 collaboration didn’t come to fruition, however the schooling chapter within the Nicki-Wayne lyrical marriage arrived lower than per week later, whereas Minaj emptied the clip with a fiery verse on “Banned From NO (Remix).”

“If I ship a pic of Shannon you ain’t that Sharpe/ Trigger you continue to can’t spell Prague and that’s horrible,” she raps.
Minaj then salutes a traditional Wayne bar from the Pharrell-produced “Sure.” “Weezy F Child and the F is for Phenomenal,” she mimics.
Earlier than leaving the burning sales space, Nicki wasn’t performed and he or she despatched a shot on the NFL about their decisions for the Super Bowl Halftime Show, which missed Wayne in his hometown earlier this yr. “NFL, hearth some n—s after which name us,” she spews in protection of the Younger Cash boss.
