The two female powerhouses are set to collaborate on new single “Dumb Blonde” to be released this week.

If you were born in the ’90s and early 2000s, you likely spent a good portion of your youth dancing to the classic hits of Avril Lavigne, like “sk8er boi” and “Nobody’s Fool”. Lavigne was the original Pop Punk Queen and was an icon for all young people who felt they didn’t quite fit in. She spoke to the souls of outcasts and weirdos, which she took into her single “Here’s to Never Growing Up”, which was released in 2013. The single came out a few years after her first studio albums and was a love letter to her fans that carried on her spirit of self-love after her heyday.

About the same time, Nicki Minaj started releasing her music. She began by releasing three self-produced mixtapes, “Playtime is Over”, “Sucka Free”, and “Beam Me Up, Scotty”. Her first official album, Pink Friday, was released in 2010 and became a staple for every party playlist. “Starships” and “Super Bass” were anthems for a generation. Both of these women made a huge impact on a generation and deserve to be looked at as music idols.

Be prepared to get excited because Avril Lavigne and Nicki Minaj teamed up to release a single together.
