- Nicki Minaj didn’t know who Kanye West was until Amber Rose put them in touch.
- Minaj’s verse is considered one of her best ever.
- West almost took it out so he wouldn’t look bad, but didn’t want to hurt his reputation.
Nicki Minaj didn’t know who Kanye West was until Amber Rose put them in touch. Rose talked about how the song Monster came to be on a recent episode of the podcast Higher Learning with Van Lathan.
Rose said, “I put Nicki on ‘Monster.'”
“He didn’t know who Nicki was back then. I had Nicki pull up to the studio and I put her on Monster.”
She also said, “She was still coming up, and I saw her in the studio and I said, ‘Oh my god, this she is talented as hell.’ And then I went back to Kanye and I was like, ‘You need to get this girl Nicki on ‘Monster.’ And he was like, ‘Who? What? No. I’m not…” And I said, ‘Just let her pull up, what’s it going to hurt?’ She heard the song and then she came back the next day with the verse.”
Rose says that Minaj’s verse on the song, which many people think is one of her best ever, was so good that West almost took it out so he wouldn’t look bad.
