AceShowbiz - Nicki Minaj has reunited with fellow rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine for a new song benefitting those in need of bail assistance amid the Black Lives Matter protests.
The stars, who previously collaborated on 2018 track "FEFE", have come together for "Trollz", the second single of Tekashi's music comeback following a stint behind bars for gang-related crimes.
The tune will be released on Friday, June 12, and Minaj reveals some of the proceeds will support the ongoing fight for social and racial justice.
Taking to Instagram on Wednesday, she writes, "A portion of the proceeds from #Trollz including merch items, will be going directly to The Bail Project Inc. The fund provides free bail assistance to low-income individuals who can’t afford to pay bail while awaiting their trial.
"We want to protect and support the thousands of brave people working on the front lines of social justice, using their voices to demand AN END to the targeting and killing of Black Americans by the police. #BlackLivesMatter".
Tekashi had previously decided to press pause on his new music release plans "out of respect" for the Black Lives Matter movement, in the wake of the death of African-American George Floyd at the hands of a white police officer in Minnesota in late May.
Minaj isn't the only artist willing to work with Tekashi after he turned on his former gangmembers to cooperate with federal prosecutors and secure a lesser sentence - he's also teased a sequel to singer Akon's 2004 release "Locked Up".
