Nicki Minaj dropped two major bits of news on October 29th: a new track featuring YMCMB label-mates Lil Wayne and Drake, as well as the new release date for her upcoming LP The Pinkprint. “Only” debuted on iHeartRadio’s site for Minaj’s fans to hear, and with Wayne & Drake being mentioned in the song’s lyrics (as well as rapping on it), it’s making headlines all over the Web.

With all assumptions that “Only” will appear on Nicki’s Pinkprint, the rapper tweeted the new date that the album will be released: December 15th, 2014. But even though NM’s fans are flipping over that tidbit, it’s the lyrics to “Only” that is really getting the online crowd going. Nicki admits in the first few lines of the song that she’s never been with Drizzy OR Weezy, cementing her claim that she’s never needed to sleep her way to the top.
On the other hand, both Lil Wayne and Drake’s verses have the boys musing about wanting to get with Ms. Minaj. Too bad, boys!
