Ariana Grande & Nicki Minaj Brush Off Any Drama Over Shared Album Release Date

The news of Minaj pushing back her album because she needs more time to clear a sample on the project raised some conversation on social media about the two divas purposely trying to feud and compete with each other. Both were quick to shut those rumors down.   

Grande took to Twitter, writing, "is this what's going on today? Imma jus stop logging in at all lmfao. That's my f---ing sister. She's clearing a sample. buy and stream Queen & Sweetener Aug 17 bye. these numbers don't mean as much to the artist as they do to y'all. jus want y'all to listen to the project."

Minaj replied to Grande's comments, saying, "I love this woman. Can't wait for the fans to benefit from all the hard work on both ends. We love your passion. You guys will be VERY happy. Trust. That's all I'll say." 

This is not the first time Minaj has pushed back her upcoming project. Queen originally had a release date of June 10 before being pushed back two months to Aug. 10, and now August 17. 

Both Grande and Minaj are not only frequent collaborators, but labelmates too, with both signed to Republic Records.
