[Nicki backing up her butt]
[laughs] I’m just kidding.
Wah gwaan, Nicki? (Translation: What’s up, Nicki?)
Agua whatty?
Me appreciate you not bringing your whole entourage with you.
Oh... I see. So you just wanted us to be by ourselves today.
Yeah, man.
‘Cause me fear that the creative process can get stifled if there’s too many ‘angers-on in the studio.
What’s an “‘anger-on”?
‘Angers-on, leeches, sycophants.
Oh... [laughs]
You mean HANGERS-on.
Your accent is so hilarious. [gibberish]
Take a listen to this track.
It’s a little something me whipped up during the FIVE HOURS me spent waiting for you to get here.
Oh... So my tardiness sparked your creativity. You’re welcome.
[Reggae Shark starts singing]
Oh... That is TIGHT!
Lemme speak a verse!
You rollin’?
Rollin’ like a spliff.
[Nicki starts rapping]
That was great.
You murdered it.
But none of that ever ‘appened. And we’ve never once had intercourse.
Yeah... But we gonna.
What if me no wanna?
Look.
It’s not enough to just write a song anymore.
You gotta have some drama. Some BACKstory, okay?
You gotta do some Lemonade-type shit just to get the people talking on social mediums.
Me don’t want them talking about me on social mediums.
Whenever I do a track with, say, Drake, we always make it sound like either we just did it or we’re about to do it in the near future.
So... Have you?
[scoffs] HELL NO.
Uh... He corny.
But *you* on the other hand...
Look... Me just started a semi-serious relationship with a nice mermaid.
So...
[Nicki cuts him off]
Bump the track.
All right...
Okay... Let me explain.
Me was thinking that “chomp dat ass” is more like figurative, ya know?
Nope.
When me say an expression like, “‘Ey, kiss me buns!”
Me not want people to kiss my actual buns.
Me not mean it literally.
I do.
Well... It needs metaphors like a double entendre.
Right now it’s all a single entendre.
Who are you? William Sharkspeare or something?
[giggles]
No! Me just don’t think every thing’s got to be so pornographic.
And newsflash: WE ARE NOT IN A RELATIONSHIP.
Do you know how hard it is to be Nicki?
I have got to be ON TOP of my game 24/7.
I have built an empire.
Spent all of these money, bought all of this body.
And I can’t even get you to like me.
I’m just a girl standing in front of a shark asking him to chomp her ass.
C’mon, Nicki. Don’t cry.
Look, me made up the mermaid relationship ‘cause me just want to stay professional.
But... screw it!
How about we go for coffee after this?
Get to know each other a bit and we can see where it go from there.
WOW.
Wha?
That...
... is messed up.
What did me do?
‘What did me do?’ G— What you need to do is give me a beat.
C’mon.
You know what, Reggae Shork?
Chomp dat ass!
That’s exactly what me meant!
Say it like it’s an insult!
Come back.
Aww...
Me think me might love her after all...
Reggae Shark always fall for the butts and crazy ones.
