Both women — who previously worked together on Rihanna’s Raining Men (2010) and Minaj’s Fly (2011) — are expected to drop new music soon, with Rihanna having promised a Reggae-inspired album. She was reportedly working with several Jamaican producers and writers, while Minaj has recently followed a slew of Dancehall talent on Instagram including Pamputtae and Intence.
