“It’s going to be [labeled] K-pop because she’s doing it, so it’s going to be coming from another place and there’s going to be Korean lyrics. But for the most part it’s eclectic. She’s very rap-leaning, she’s very fashion forward. She’s like the Nicki Minaj of that world.”
This is not the first time CL and Nicki Minaj have been linked together. Both 2NE1 and Minaj were featured in a global Adidas compaig in 2012. CL and Minaj also became friendly while attending New York Fashion Week the year after.
Earlier this month, CL released the music video to her collaboration single with Diplo, OG Maco and RiFF RAFF titled “Doctor Pepper.” Originally released on May 22, “Doctor Pepper” was reportedly inspired by tension between Diplo and CL after the former missed a recording session.
