Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice join forces once again for a major collaboration inspired by Aqua's smash hit.
On Friday, June 23, the Harajuku Barbie and Ice Spice dropped their new song "Barbie World" featuring the Europop veterans, and it's iHeartRadio's latest World Premiere. Produced by RIOTUSA, the record has Nicki and the Bronx rapper spitting fresh bars over a sample of Aqua's "Barbie Girl."
"I'm a Barbie girl (Girl), Pink Barbie Dreamhouse/The way Ken be killin' shit got me yellin' out like the Scream house," Nicki raps. "Yellin' out, we ain't sellin' out/We got money, but we ain't lendin' out."
The song appears on the official soundtrack for the upcoming Barbie film, which arrives next month. Both rappers were include in a massive announcement that revealed all the artists involved with the project executively produced by Mark Ronson. "Barbie World" first debuted at the end of the official Barbie trailer that dropped last month. It's the fourth single to drop from the album following Dua Lipa's "Dance The Night," Karol G's "Watati" featuring Aldo Ranks and PinkPantheress' "Angel." Barbie The Album also features contributions from Kali, Khalid, Lizzo, The Kid LAROI, Dominic Fike, Charli XCX and more.
This is Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice's second collaboration. The New York natives first teamed up for the remix of the 23-year-old's song "Princess Diana" last year. Prior to that, Minaj had been an avid supporter of the "Munch" rapper and dubbed her the real "people's princess."
"The people's princess," Minaj wrote in an Instagram comment. "@icespice Catch it!!!"
