It's not nice to lie. The song was always meant for Nicki
Quote:
Billboard.biz: "Starships" marks the first time that you have worked with Nicki Minaj. How did that track come about?
Wayne Hector: Basically, it was something that I wrote with Carl [Falk], Rami Yacoub and RedOne in Sweden. We wrote it, originally with different verses, and were all jumping around thinking: 'This is going to be great.' And at some point Red said: 'You know what? This would be great for Nicki Minaj.' He played it to her and she went crazy for it but said: 'Can I just do my verse because it has to be me? And we all thought: 'Why not? We love her.' I'm always happy for an artist [to personalize a track]. Whatever is best for the song and the artist. Especially if you have somebody who has a clear-cut defined image of who they are. You can't really interfere with that and get the best out of them.

When she says rap, I really hope it's not all ratchet gritty stuff like Beez in the Trap I need it like... Roman's Revenge, rap but not TOO hood, she adds her own touch to it.
She perfected that style in the Pink Friday era but idk what happened
