Nicki Minaj describes working with Beyoncé

In an appearance on The Angie Martinez Show, Nicki Minaj shared her experience of collaborating with Beyonce, on two songs in a single year. She recalled that she was getting on a plane to Las Vegas and her manager, Gee Roberson, told her that Beyonce wants to make a Flawless remix with her. The singer mentioned that she had met Beyonce before but never knew how she felt about her as an artist. Minaj thought that Beyonce might not like her. The Dangerously in love singer offered to be a part of Nicki's then-upcoming album The Pinkprint if she agreed to appear in the remix. 

Nicki Minaj stated that she then worked on Flawless for a while, and then she sent it to Beyonce who was very excited about it.

Beyonce clarified that she didn't visit to hear the song but to tell Minaj that she wants her to be herself on the record. 

Nicki Minaj asserted that Beyonce's vibe was free and it made her feel really comfortable. She thought Beyonce's advice was perfect for her. The artist mentioned that when she did send it to her, Gee informed Minaj that Beyonce's husband, Jay-Z felt inspired by her work on the song.
