Lil Uzi Vert most recently featured on the Nicki Minaj cut, ‘Everybody’, from her latest album. That album scored a four-star review from Nick Levine, who wrote for NME: “āPink Friday 2ā feels like a consolidation and refinement of everything Minaj can do ā including dropping pop culture references that no other artist would think of… Thirteen years after āPink Fridayā, Nicki Minaj hasnāt lost her ability to catch us by surprise.’
