Nicki Minaj is a life-long Barbie fan, and after Greta Gerwig’s movie’s Los Angeles premiere on Sunday, she gushed over Barbie star Margot Robbie and the entire cast.
“She’s strikingly gorgeous in person,” Minaj tweeted. “Btw, the entire cast of this movie nailed it. The film is so visually stimulating. The actors can actually act, & the comedic timing is actually on time. Bravo. I’ll see it again & give my final analysis around the 21st. Will Ferrell, I [heart] U.”

“This ‘Barbie [Girl]’ sample, I loved it. I just wanted it to have a dope drum, and so the one that they sent me, I loved! And I jumped on it right away.”
AQUA’s ’90s classic “Barbie Girl” is sampled on “Barbie World,” Minaj’s team-up with Ice Spice produced by RiotUSA, which also credits the Europop band.
The film will be released in theaters on July 21. The soundtrack includes “Barbie World,” “Dance the Night” by Dua Lipa, “Angel” by PinkPantheress, and more.
