Nicki Minaj is stirring excitement as she expresses interest in a remix of her Megan Thee Stallion diss track “Big Foot,” created by Houston producer XO, managed by Darien Smith, husband of Meg’s former friend Kelsey Nicole.
Nicki Minaj’s Remix Tease
Houston-based producer XO shared a snippet of his “Big Foot” remix on Instagram, catching the attention of Nicki Minaj. The rap icon not only endorsed the remix but urged herto clear the sample for an official release. Minaj even hinted at an alternate version titled “Kelsey’s Revenge.”
Impressed by XO’s creativity, Nicki Minaj flooded the comment section with enthusiasm and urged her label, REPUBLIC, to expedite the clearance process. She shared the remix on her Instagram, sparking speculation about its potential release on streaming platforms.
Kelsey Nicole Sets the Record Straight
Addressing rumors, Kelsey Nicole clarified that her husband, Darien Smith (known as D Boy No Sleep), is not the creator of the remix but is associated with the producer. Emphasizing their collaborative efforts, she affirmed their work as a collective effort within their close-knit musical family.
Kelsey Nicole’s connection to Megan Thee Stallion dates back to the infamous shooting incident in July 2020. While initially close, their friendship soured after Megan accused Kelsey of accepting hush money from Tory Lanez, who was involved in the incident. The public spat escalated, with Lanez’s defense team even implicating Nicole as the shooter before his recent conviction.
Darien Smith’s role as an executive at Megan Thee Stallion’s former label, 1501 Certified Entertainment, adds an intriguing layer to the remix story. Meg’s departure from the label, following a protracted legal battle, highlights the complex dynamics within the music industry.
Kelsey Nicole Responds
In response to online criticism, Kelsey Nicole took to her Instagram story, affirming their collaborative efforts and dismissing negativity. Asserting her independence, she emphasized that she owes nothing to anyone, signaling resilience amid ongoing scrutiny.
As the anticipation builds for Nicki Minaj’s potential release of the “Big Foot” remix, the interconnected relationships and past controversies add a layer of intrigue to the unfolding narrative in the world of hip-hop.
