Murda Beatz was a guest on episode 33 of Elliott Wilson and Brian “B.Dot” Miller’s Rap Radar Podcast.

During their conversation, the producer revealed how Drake‘s “Nice For What” single that samples Lauryn Hill came about:

“I feel like music needed a record like [“Nice For What”]. We were chilling at Drake’s house playing [NBA 2K] and we came up with the idea to sample a female artist. So I asked my manager: ‘Yo, what do you think?’ He’s like: ‘Ex-Factor.’ And Drake’s like: ‘Oh, what part?’ And we picked the part, chopped it up, I made the beat while he was playing 2K. [Drake’s] like: ‘This shit fire.’ He sat there, wrote the shit in front of me, cut the shit in front of me. We got the shit done — beat and song, probably in like an hour and a half.”

Last week, Nicki Minaj referenced Eminem in her “Big Bank” verse on YG’s new single before then joking in an Instagram comment that she is dating him.

“Told ’em I met Slim Shady, bagged an Em; Once he go black, he’ll be back again”

Em then joined in on the jokes by responding with an Instagram comment himself saying: “girl you know it’s true” when asked if him and Nicki are a couple.

The Barbie carried on playing with the flirty messages by commenting back: “babe I thought we were gonna keep it on the low til the wedding. Yikes. I’ll talk to you when I get home.”

Slim Shady didn’t leave it there as he asked everyone at the Boston Calling Music Festival on May 27th if he should date Minaj:

“So wait, one more time. Let me make sure so I can actually make this official. How many people in Boston want me to date Nicki Minaj? Well goddammit, me too. Nicki, if you get this message, just text me later, we’ll talk about it.”
