When the Barbz ask, they receive.

Months after first quizzing EDM trio Major Lazer on the status of ‘Oh My Gawd’ – their long-teased collaboration with Nicki Minaj – the rap diva’s fans were saying OMG when the hitmakers confirmed the Harajuku Barbie-assisted cut would drop September 10 (as we reported here).

Keeping their word, the dancehall-tinged tune – which reportedly houses elements of classics from Baby Cham and Black Uhuru – arrived on streaming outlets Thursday and also counts Mr. Eazi and Nigerian music star K4mo among its collaborators.

The British rapper brings back her rebellious spirit for the track, where she raps:

With the heat from both topics rising, Budden – tired of the hoopla – took to social media to address them head on.
