Sharing her love for the “legendary” Nicki Minaj, she shared how the collaboration was an extremely special moment for her.
“Nicki is such a talented, strong woman and driving force,” she wrote. “I listen to Fly, Starships and Bed all the time. Having her on the song is so special to me. We wrote Dumb Blonde as an anthem for anyone who has been stereotyped or talked down to. Keep your confidence up and don’t let anyone tell you how to be. I hope you love it!”
Minaj also shared her love for Lavigne, saying she used to listen to her songs on her way to her job at Red Lobster.
I used to drive to my job @ Red Lobster playing this woman’s album for an hour straight everyday for months. Crying to “I’m with you”, blasting “complicated” “things I’ll never say” “nobody’s fool” “sk8er boi”. 😩 omg. #DumbBlonde tmrw. This woman is so unbelievably talented 💖 https://t.co/7h75jZHIW2

Lavigne has been dropping teasers from her highly-anticipated comeback album over the last few days and her fans are more excited than ever with today’s release.
