50 Cent, welcome to Gag City. On Monday night, Nicki Minaj released a new rendition of “Beep Beep” from her new album Pink Friday 2 — but this time with a verse from 50.

“I’m different shit, I’m with the shit, I’m nineties grimy/I should spend that shit and then they spin that shit,” raps 50 in his verse, before dropping, “A lil’ bread with me, you can’t hide behind money/Got a lot of this shit, I ain’t runnin’ out of this shit.”

“Southside Jamaica, Queens stand tf up!!!” Minaj wrote on Instagram hours before the song’s release “He walked on this sh!t. Yikesssssss I am so honored to have him stop by #GagCity!!!!”

“NEW HEAT 🔥 SouthSide shit you know the Vibes,” added 50 Cent on his own Instagram. “Today’s not a good day to drop, put your bullshit out tomorrow.”

Fans were able to access the song early on Tuesday by purchasing a digital “exclusive version” of Pink Friday 2 on Minaj’s website. After releasing Pink Friday 2 last Friday, the rap star shared that there were more songs on the way from the record, teasing collaborations with 50, Keyshia Cole, and Monica — and “new editions” of the album each day.

She wrote that the songs “complete my fave body of work to date.” She later quote-tweeted a fan page referencing her song “Beep Beep,” writing, “Well wait til they hear Schfifty Schent verse on it next week.”

“Next week #GagCity welcomes a new edition every day beginning Monday or Tuesday,” she wrote on X (formerly Twitter), referring to the AI-created world celebrating the album. “Every day until Friday, you’ll get [additional] songs.”

She continued, “Two of the names on a very important song rhyme with Schmechia Schmole & Schmonica.” (The “Sch” prefix is the same one she used before the album dropped to tease that Billie Eilish is featured on the record. A sample of Billie Eilish’s “When the Party’s Over” was later revealed on “Are You Gone Already.”)

The new Pink Friday 2 song expands on the 22 that already appear on the album. The original release includes the tracks “Nicki Hendrix” with Future, “Blessings” with Tasha Cobbs Leonard, and standout “Cowgirl” with Lourdiz. Lil Wayne, J. Cole, Drake, and Lil Uzi Vert also guest on the record.

Minaj also announced her 2024 tour Monday.
