Nicki Minaj Recruits Monica And Keyshia Cole For "Love Me Enough"
Nicki Minaj’s fifth studio album, Pink Friday 2, came out on her 41st birthday (Dec. 8). For its deluxe edition, the artist announced she’d be dropping a song every day beginning on Monday (Dec. 11) until Friday (Dec. 15).
Earlier this week, she debuted a new rendition of “Beep Beep” with 50 Cent. On Tuesday (Dec. 12) night, Minaj shared “Love Me Enough” featuring Monica and Keyshia Cole, both of whom were cryptically teased in the musician’s announcement post.
The pair lent their voices to the pre-chorus and chorus, respectively. Monica sang, “I used to think love had to hurt/ So I’d do s**t to make it worse/ Got off on the toxic words/ I used to think love had to hurt.”
Meanwhile, Minaj rapped, “I used to think my happiness depended on a man/ Diamond on the ring finger blingin’ on my hand/ Sativa or Indica, it don’t matter what the strain/ The worst drug of all, the addiction to a man/ Insecure, real jealous, bitter little man.”
