Watch Beyoncé Sing A Nicki Minaj-Inspired Version Of Prince’s “Darling Nikki”
Last week, Beyoncé and Nicki Minaj performed “Feeling Myself” together at Brooklyn’s Barclays Center to celebrate Tidal reaching 1 million subscribers. Now, as Pitchfork points out, Beyoncé has shared a couple of behind-the-scenes clips from their rehearsals for the event. In the first one, Bey sings a version of Prince’s “Darling Nikki” with the lyrics changed to be about Nicki Minaj: “I met a girl named Nicki / I guess you can say she was the rap queen / I met her in the studio lobby but her booty looked bigger in the magazines / She said ‘B, would you jump on this song of mine?’ / How could I resist when I heard little Nicki rhyme.” The second video features a staring contest between the two, and you can watch both below.
