Nicki Minaj surprised fans with a 35-second teaser for her upcoming song “Love In The Way,” which features Yung Bleu.
The Trinidadian rapper raps on the track while Bleu croons in his trademark style. Nicki Minaj is riding high on the success of her “Super Freaky Girl (Queen Mix),” which is once again among the top five best-selling tracks this week. Minaj had previously asked fans if they wanted to hear a snippet of the song, and she later released the “Love in the Way” teaser.
“CHECK OUT THE SNIPPET & PRESAVE NOW,” Minaj wrote, accompanied by a slew of flame emojis. “Dropping @ YungBleu on FRIDAY.”
The track’s cover art was released the day before, and it featured Minaj showing off her trim figure while Yung Bleu stood next to her in a long duster and suit made of the same fabric. The tweet received 26.5 million likes and thousands of replies and retweets. Meanwhile, Sam Tompkins, a U.K.-based artist, revealed that “Love in the Way” is a sample of one of his songs.
“NICKI MINAJ SPITTING OVER A SAMPLE OF MY SONG WHOLE ARE YOU CRAZY?” Tompkins said, adding a link to the sampled track, “Whole.” Fans reacted to the snippet as well. “OH SH** this sounds amazing, I can’t wait for it to come out,” one fan wrote.
“Letssss freakinnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnnn “YESSSSS!!! R&B ONIKA is unrivaled. and then there’s the visuals. “Omgggggggg,” wrote another Barb.
Yung Bleu, on the other hand, has kept his excitement about working with one of the world’s biggest artists to a minimum. “I’ll be putting up 3-4 more in the next 12 months, so keep an eye on this!” “It’s album time,” he said in one tweet.
The singer also co-signed a tweet from another fan who likened the song to a classic. “It’s a beautiful song, they type songs that’s gonna live forever,” Bleu wrote.
