Avril Lavigne and Nicki Minaj be part of forces on their empowering anthem “Dumb Blonde.”
Over the rattling drumline, the bombshells increase hell. “I ain’t no dumb blonde / I ain’t no silly Barbie doll / I received my sport on / Watch me show you mistaken,” sings Avril, whereas the Queen calls out the haters and frauds on her spitfire verse.
“All of the hatin’ you was doing received the Barbie poppin’ / Now all them wanna be a Barbie, I’m watchin’,” raps Nicki. “I’m the prototype, The Pinkprint / No, I don’t need no frauds, wink wink.”

Taking to social media, she mirrored on rising up listening to Avril’s music. “I used to drive to my job @ Pink Lobster enjoying this girl’s album for an hour straight on a regular basis for months,” mentioned Nicki, who shared her favourite tracks together with “I’m With You” and “Sk8er Boi.” “This girl is so unbelievably gifted.”
The Canadian songstress returned the praise. “Nicki is such a gifted, sturdy girl and driving pressure,” she mentioned. “I hearken to Fly, Starships and Mattress on a regular basis. Having her on the tune is so particular to me. We wrote Dumb Blonde as an anthem for anybody who has been stereotyped or talked all the way down to. Hold your confidence up and don’t let anybody inform you the right way to be.”
“Dumb Blonde” is the most recent single f Avril’s upcoming album Head Above Water, due Friday (Feb. 15).
