Fan reactions
Numerous fans have shared their excitements for the collab, but the announcement has also drawn negative comments on Twitter. One fan already deems the song "a hit" while another described it as a "spicy collab".
While one fan called the duo both "Goats," others argue that Youngboy will carry the song more than Minaj and vice versa.
One user said, "It’s gonna be good until she starts," to which another replied, "its gna be good when she starts".
Another harsher comment reads, "This sh*t bout to be an immaculate level of trash."
