Nicki Minaj nearly featured on Doja Cat’s ‘Get Into It (Yuh)’

Nicki Minaj has revealed that she almost collaborated with Doja Cat on ‘Get Into It (Yuh)’.

Last year, the two artists collaborated when Nicki jumped onto a remix of ‘Say So’, but she was also set to feature on Doja’a album which never came to fruition.

Minaj made the revelation during a conversation she had with fans on Twitter Spaces, where she explained the reason for her absence being that she “could bring anything to it”. Furthermore, Minaj hit out at too many people being involved in the process.

“It’s just that there were, like, middle people involved in that situation,” she noted. “If it was like how me and BIA were direct and we dealt with each other directly, it would be different,” she said, referring to her remix of BIA’s ‘Whole Lotta Money’.

“But I didn’t love that song because I didn’t think I could bring anything to it. So I asked them to send me something else. I think that was the second song they sent me, I asked them to send me something else and they didn’t send me anything else.”

Despite not appearing on the song, on the outro of ‘Get Into It (Yuh)’, Doja does thank Minaj, showing no bad blood between the duo.

Meanwhile, Minaj, and her husband Kenneth Petty, are currently defendants in a lawsuit from Jennifer Hough, who Petty sexually assaulted in 1994 when they were both 16 years old.

Petty was sentenced to four-and-a-half years in prison in 1995 for attempting to rape Hough after pleading guilty to the accusations. Last year, he was arrested after failing to announce himself as a sex offender, and it’s after this point where the harassment allegedly started.

Reportedly, Minaj contacted Hough after the incident, offered to fly her out to Los Angeles, and even allegedly tabled a sum of $500,000 for the victim to withdraw the accusations against her husband.
