Nicki Minaj and Avril Lavigne Collab On ‘Dumb Blonde’

Nicki Minaj will serve as pop-rock star Avril Lavigne’s sole feature on her new album, Head Above Water, which is slated for release on Feb. 15. 

The hip-hop star collaborated with the 34-year-old on her track “Dumb Blonde”. The news, which sent fans into a frenzy, was confirmed when the “Complicated” singer’s tracklist was revealed via preorder links on various platforms, including Amazon and iTunes, according to That Grape Juice.

The concept and idea for #DumbBlonde came to me through a situation I experienced and I brought it to @BonnieMcKee and #MitchAllan, who helped me bring it to life. I had this fucking loser in my life who was threatened by my strength, confidence and independence as a woman. I was belittled and made to feel bad for who I was: A leader, someone with a vision and opinions, someone who has strength, desire, passion and goals. Never let anyone put you down for being who you are. Stand up. Fight. Be you. Love. Be genuine. Kind. Find yourself and own it. Fuck stereotypes. If you're a strong person and your partner can't handle you, go find someone who has enough self-confidence and can support you and lift you up and inspire you in your life. As an equal. A friend. Not someone who needs to take you down to make themselves feel better because of their low self-esteem. Yes, women should build each other up, but so should men and women.

Lavigne shared a snippet of the track (sans Nicki Minaj) via her Instagram account, last night. She can be heard singing, “I ain’t no dumb blonde. I ain’t no stupid Barbie doll. I got my game on. Just watch me, watch me, watch me prove ya wrong,” on the track. The song was written by Lavigne and singer-songwriter Bonnie McKee.

Some fans are already excited over the possibility of Minaj and Lavigne performing at award shows like the Juno Awards. Many have tweeted about how excited they are for the collaboration, and some are questioning what era it is.
