Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj have a joint project on the way, apparently.

You never know what's going to happen on Young Money Radio, though we can definitely admit it's far less dramatic than Queen Radio. Nonetheless, Lil Wayne always brings in top-tier talent to chop it up with him on current affairs and the state of the rap game. Last night, Nicki Minaj joined Weezy following the release of her new collaboration with 6ix9ine, "Trollz." The conversation, though, shifted towards the possibility of a joint project with Lil Wayne.

"We doin' our joint album. A lot of the fans been askin' about it. When we gon' do this?" Wayne asked Nicki.

"You already know, your wish is my command," Nicki replied.

Neither one of them gave any sort of confirmation of when fans could expect the project which isn't necessarily a promising sign. Nicki essentially broke down the problem with working with Wayne which is essentially laying down a verse after him. She pointed to their remix of Post Malone's "rockstar" as an example but she simply stated that it's different when you go in to a session to freestyle versus actually penning down a verse for a whole song. 

We'll have to see if this ends up coming into fruition. Are you down for a Lil Wayne and Nicki Minaj collab project in 2020? Sound off in the comments with your thoughts.
