By Taiwo Okanlawon

American rapper Nicki Minaj has expressed her admiration for Nigerian singer, Ayodeji Balogun, popularly known as Wizkid.

Speaking during a recent stream on StationHead, the ‘Queen of rap’ said she has “much love and respect” for Wizkid.

Minaj described the ‘Ojuelegba’ crooner as “very chill and smart.”

She said, “He [Wizkid] is a very very cool chill guy. He’s really that guy, very smart. I have much love and respect for him.”

She also revealed they met while she was recording her 2018 album ‘Queen’ in a studio in Queens, New York.

Despite rumours of a Wizkid and Nicki Minaj collaboration over the years, the duo has not yet released any songs together or confirmed that they have an unreleased song together.

In 2017, Nicki Minaj posted a photo of her and Wizkid chilling on a couch with her name in lights right behind them. The rapper, dressed in Gucci, posted a series of photos before the one with the Starboy, which she simply captioned; @wizkidayo ?

Nicki and Drake are known to be quite close friends and after working with Wizkid on both hit songs, Once Dance and Closer, fans suspected the Canadian rapper/singer is definitely the link between the stars.
