One day before its release, Nicki Minaj‘s ‘Pills N Potion‘ took centre stage in a Twitter Q&A session today, teased through responses submitted to fans who posed questions to the rapper.

It was there, when asked to spill details on the single’s production, that she revealed that it had been produced by ‘Teenage Dream’ producer Dr.Luke.

Set to impact the world tomorrow morning, the jam will welcome a supporting video shot by director Diane Martel and lead Minaj’s third studio album ‘The Pink Print’, dropping four years after her debut LP ‘Pink Friday’ surpassed sales of 1 million US units in its opening month.

    I’m ready to Stan for Nicki again. I used to live for this BXTCH until she tried it with MC but American Idol is long gone and I’m willing to move on. + Iggy’s struggle made me appreciate her even more.

    • Basura Caliente May 20, 2014

      She is a basic-looking flop just like Mariah. They both need to be shipped in a container to Fiji.

    • NICKI IS QUEEN May 20, 2014

      omg yas!

    • Iconic Iggy May 20, 2014

      So your distaste for Iggy made you a fan of Nicki again? How very fickle.

    I’m ready to be scalped! OMG the queen is back! Dr Luke doesn’t just produce edm btw 🙄

  3. FutureCIARA May 20, 2014

    Im here for it Nicki…. Please dont disappoint!

  4. VANNY May 20, 2014

    Interesting … Seems like onika is a smart woman and knows where the money is at , she obviously does not give a f*** about people thinking she went pop cause clearly this song sounds like it will be a pop-rap song, I have a feeling this song is going to be good, can’t wait to hear this tomorow

  5. Josu May 20, 2014

    This is seriously SO good! I think it will be a perfect song!

  6. CherylSoldierr May 20, 2014

    Radio smash?

    • HeadBarbInCharge May 20, 2014

      Of Course

  7. Jwolf May 20, 2014

    This is interesting… I thought she was going pure rap on this, but Dr. Luke will always have a pop influence on his tracks. Personally, I think she shouldn’t fully drop the pop style rapping, as she would fall off mainstream compared to her old days, but I’ll support her regardless if the new material flops or succeeds. However, being a #1 fan of Nicki, she better keep them pop roots or Iggy is going to steal the spotlight. Whether the Iggy haters want to admit it or not, Iggy is everywhere right now. Her hype is spreading like wildire. Her album isn’t doing the best, but her hype will build a solid fanbase for her next album.

    • HeadBarbInCharge May 20, 2014

      Who gives a f*** about Iggy? The queen has returned for her throne!!! Nicki and the barbz are unbothered. Thanks for your concern.

  8. Jwolf May 20, 2014

    Also, i’m ready for my wig to be snatched so damn hard that the gorilla glue will sling off in all directions. Yassss

  9. BubblePopElectric May 20, 2014

    Yes Onika! You Better Be Coming To Scalp Radio!

  10. Jwolf May 20, 2014

    Boo boo I’m not dissing anyone. I’m a fan of Nicki more than Iggy, but I support both. Of course Nicki will return for her throne, she never lost it darlin’.

  11. Molly May 20, 2014

    Interested to see what it sounds like.

  12. Molly May 20, 2014

    Nicki isn’t stupid she’d be a fool to abandon pop. Aslong as its not an EDM track then were good.

  13. H2O May 20, 2014

    Yesss!!

  14. FutureCIARA May 20, 2014

    Why does Kim Kardashian want Llama to perform “Love & Beautiful” at her wedding….. How obnoxious!

    • Molly May 20, 2014

      Lol really? Wow!

    • HeadBarbInCharge May 20, 2014

      Ciara named her son Future Zahir <3. I'll go back to dragging her next week 😉

      • FutureCIARA May 20, 2014

        And Ill go back to draggin Nicki if she doesnt fair well with this Iggy comp, and if her single sucks and sounds like pop-tart shitt 🙂

    • NICKI IS QUEEN May 20, 2014

      I didn’t know Llama could do it live

    • CherylSoldierr May 20, 2014

      Didn’t the tv land awards book her already? It would be her biggest capacity ever

      • Rosie May 20, 2014

        Can Chav book anything larger than a KFC parking lot outside of the UK?

    • RihIcon(Navy Comm) May 20, 2014

      YOUNG and beautiful sis

  15. NICKI IS QUEEN May 20, 2014

      • Molly May 20, 2014

      • NICKI IS QUEEN May 20, 2014

        I’m praying sis!

  16. Yep May 20, 2014

    Jumpin on the Ke$sha bandwagon. Ke$ha is a better rapper though.

    • HeadBarbInCharge May 20, 2014

      Who? Sounds like a refrigerator to me….

    • NICKI IS QUEEN May 20, 2014

      So only Kesha can work with dr luke? STFU troll.

  17. FutureCIARA May 20, 2014

    Nicki will outsell Mariah, and her singles will chart higher…..

    • NICKI IS QUEEN May 20, 2014

      True

  18. did you say bieber,one direction,gaga,j.cole,miley,rita ora YMCMB austin mahone,or bey(my faves are in my name…drag stan) katy perry fans are shiit May 20, 2014

    wow,a blog filled with ass kissers and d*** pullers #lilwayne voice…..ya b****** is stanin next ya not next ya are…yikes and they be callin my bipolar

  19. Me. I am Cake like Lady GaGa May 20, 2014

    Dr Luke? I have a feeling this track will be more pop than popcorn.. And here I was thinking she was going back to her urban roots

  20. SLAYRIAH CAREY (TOUR DE FORCE) May 20, 2014

    She’ll most certainly outsell your fave too. #Thirsty

  21. Iconic Iggy May 20, 2014

    I hope it sounds something like Moment For Life or is at least in the same vein. That is her best single in my book. It was a hip-hop track with some pop flavor that gave it commercial appeal. That should’ve won her a Grammy in my book. I’m ready for her to come hard with this album.

  22. FutureCIARA May 20, 2014

    Body Party >>>>>> Your Mine
    Overdose >>>>>> The Art Of Flopping!

    • Iconic Cici May 20, 2014

      Ciaras music shits on Mariahs.

      • musiclover May 20, 2014

        delusional lmaooooooooooo

    • RihIcon(Navy Comm) May 20, 2014

      Lies & delusion

  23. k May 20, 2014

    cant went.

  24. Minaj21 May 20, 2014

    Yessss queen my wig is so ready to be snatched.

  25. Rosie May 20, 2014

    I can’t even. Not her going to THE most generic producer in the game after trying to win back her urban audience. No one with enough money to buy music anyways use her anymore.

  26. Realest May 20, 2014

    Lol so she released those “hood” hype tracks just to say “hey look I’m old nicki” only to have her lead single
    Produced by the the most generic EDM producer around? Minaj has some cute one liners but will continue to make generic collectives of music. The same year it’s released it’s forgotten except by the hard core Stan’s

    • GREEKGOD May 20, 2014

      Dr. Luke doesn’t only make EDM. He has a lot of EDM hits but he’s good with pop, pop rock, synth pop and pop rap. There’s nothing wrong with her pulling a Rihanna on her album by having Dr. Luke produce an urban track. Let’s not forget he produced for Mos Def in 2002, Lil Mama in 2008, B.o.B’s magic in 2010, T.I & Eminem’s “That’s All She Wrote” in 2010, B.o.B in 2012, as well as 3 songs for Roman Reloaded.

      • Realest May 21, 2014

        And all this songs are generic pop , EDM or hip pop.. All weak songs

  27. SBC May 20, 2014

    Dr. Luke? Nicki’s sell-outness continues. Fine, let her of pop…but the hip hop community and urban media should totally abandon her. Don’t acknowledge this b**** on any hip hop outlet. She’s a fake wannabe Katy Perry, so let her be that.

    I hate a sellout.

  28. Essa May 20, 2014

    Another corny pop-rap song for white people. Great.

  29. NaQu May 20, 2014

    “Pitbull” Minaj strikes again. This b**** got multiple personality disorder. She don’t know if she wanna be Lil Kim or Gaga. Oh well I’m already not buying it, so it ultimately don’t matter.

    • K May 20, 2014

      you are so ignorant, you don’t even hear the song yet.

      • Absolved May 20, 2014

        If Dr. Luke is the producer, that pretty much says it all. His trackrecord is largely dance/pop and I doubt Nicki is the one who’d compel him out of that comfort zone.

  30. Doing Beyonce on a Smaller Scale May 20, 2014

    When did Nicki Minaj start dropping her single with a visual video? Usually, she waits to do the video. She’s pulling a Beyonce on a smaller scale, i.e., visual single.

    • RihIcon May 20, 2014

      The hive stay thinkin that bey is innovating something smh. Dumb h** tons of artist have released a song and video together. Rih has done it, mariah has, I’m sure nicki has before too
