Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne have a long history of impressive collaborations, making it no great shock that fans were eager to hear them together on Tha Carter VI.

There were reports before the album’s release that these two would be rekindling their partnership. In contrast, that was not the case. Nicki Minaj and Drake were not featured on the album. It went without saying that the disappointment was palpable.

Nicki and Wayne had a surprise in store for their fans. They just needed to be patient with the fans. Nicki Minaj released the remix to “Banned From NO” on Wednesday morning, which is one of the standout tracks from the entire album.

Nicki delivers a spirited verse that many fans will enjoy overall. The song specifically targets Shannon Sharpe, with whom Nicki Minaj has previously had a feud. She also has a line for the NFL, which may be seen as a jab at Jay-Z.

Nicki Minaj is dominating the track, and we’re eagerly anticipating this all week. It is still unclear whether Sharpe will respond to these bars.
