This past weekend, Nicki shared footage of her longtime mentor Lil Wayne celebrating her greatness and Queen LP.

“First of all, I’d like to congratulate the beautiful queen Miss Nicki Minaj from the beautiful album Queen which is today, to date, in my opinion one of her best albums yet. I’m not going to go out on a limb and say it’s her best album because I can still listen to songs from when she was about, I don’t know the age, but like when she was a teenager and I’ll still hear vocals or lyrics from there that’s the best thing she’s said in her life. So, I’m specific like that. But today, it’s one of her best albums yet not out of her catalogue but I mean period. It is one of the best albums out there period. And when I say yet, I mean I haven’t heard anything yet better than when I’m hearing from that woman. She is such a queen. What a great title and she’s spitting her a** off. She’s going crazy on the album.”
