Zayn & Nicki Minaj seem to have a new track dropping soon.

Nicki Minaj spent a few months at the beginning of the year under the radar, but she undoubtedly came back in the game swinging. While revving up the release of Queen, she's been dishing out some fire collaborations alongside artists like BTS, Little Mix, Lil Wayne, Tyga and more. However, it looks like she's planning on keeping her streak going with a possible collaboration with former One Direction member Zayn.

Zayn Malik took to Twitter to tease a new single that seems to feature Nicki Minaj. The singer shared a short clip consisting of the instrumental. Although he didn't reveal that Nicki would be on the track, she's heard saying "Young Money" in the clip. Zayn simply tweeted, "THURSDAY" with the clip so look out for that to drop later tonight. 

Considering the two artists have a massive fanbase, it seems like their collaboration will be bound to be another Billboard Hot 100 hit for both of them. Nicki Minaj recently reached an impressive milestone on the chart as the first female artist to ever have 100 Billboard Hot 100 entries. The "Barbie Dreams" rapper stands behind a few other artists who have the most Hot 100 entries including her mentor, Lil Wayne, and her Young Money labelmate, Drake. Additionally, Elvis Presley and The Glee Cast also hold more entries that the Queen herself. 

Keep your eyes peeled for Zayn and Nicki Minaj's collaboration tonight.
