Yesterday before the track was released, Minaj shared her ongoing affection for the pop-punk legend.
"I used to drive to my job @ Red Lobster playing this woman’s album for an hour straight every day for months. Crying to 'I’m With You,' blasting 'Complicated,' 'Things I’ll Never Say' 'Nobody’s Fool' 'Sk8er Boi,'" said Minaj. "This woman is so unbelievably talented"
Lavigne kept the love train going. "@NickiMinaj is my favorite!!! I’ve been listening to her for so long. As soon as I recorded #DumbBlonde, I knew she’d be the perfect artist to collaborate with on it. When she said yes it was like a dream come true!!! I can’t wait for everyone to hear!"
