‘He don’t know me but he settin’ up ta..’

They may seldom be in the country, but that hasn’t stopped Chris Brown & Nicki Minaj from securing a number of respective hits in the UK recently, following the Silver certification awarded to ‘Turn Up The Music’ and the Platinum plaque recently scored by ‘Starships’.

Get to ‘Work’ after the jump!!

So you can imagine their horror when their relevancy was thrown into disrepute by his verse on Big Sean‘s ‘Control’, which saw Lamar crown himself the King of New York.
