Nicki Minaj has revealed that she regrets having Kanye West feature on ‘Blazin’ instead of ‘Right Thru Me’ – saying it was the “dumbest fucking decision I ever made.”Earlier this year, the New York rapper announced that she will be dropping her fifth studio album ‘Pink Friday 2’, the follow-up to her 2010 debut album ‘Pink Friday’.The record featured many rap titans such as her then-mentor and label boss Lil Wayne, labelmate Drake, Rihanna and even Eminem.

Another big name to rap alongside Minaj was Kanye West, who lent his talents to the synth-pop-inspired track ‘Blazin’.In a recent TikTok live broadcast, Nicki Minaj replied to a fan who said they loved the Kanye West-assisted track. “I love ‘Blazin’ too,” she started before discussing how the collaboration came about.Nicki Minai revealed on TikTok Live today that Kanye initially wanted to be on 'Right Thru Me' from 'Pink Friday':"I don't know if you guys have heard this story about 'Blazin' but..
