Nicki Minaj dropped a rework of Blueface's "Thotiana" yesterday (February 6) called "Bust Down Barbiana," but she's denied that one of the lines in the song is taking shots at Ariana Grande.
On the new track, Minaj raps "And I'm still winnin', Pacquiana, percocets, popiana, killin' everybody beat, thank you next, Ariana."
The line made a lot of people wonder if the reference to "thank u, next" was a jab at Grande, but both artists have clarified that they are still BFFs.
Replying to a Twitter user asking if the line was shade, Grande wrote, "No, silly ass." She emphasized that "there will never be anything but love between us ever," and said that the pair have and will always be there for each other.
Minaj echoed that sentiment, retweeting Grande and adding her appreciation for being there for her "behind the scenes."
Minaj and Grande have collaborated a number of times on songs like "Side to Side," "Bed" and "The Light Is Coming."
