“I love to inspire. They look bomb af in the music video” – Saweetie addresses those accusations that Nicki Minaj took the ‘Barbie World’ concept from her.
Martin asserted that he had to speak up regardless of whether Saweetie was going to or not and demanded he be paid and properly credited. The man also detailed how the song began as “Icy Girl,” which Saweetie sent over to Nicki for a collaboration.
Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice’s song, “Barbie World,” is set to be released on Friday (June 23), built around a sample of Aqua’s 1997 hit of the same name.
Jason Martin went into more detail about his claims on Twitter, revealing his disappointment about Saweetie not being on the song and how he’ll make sure he gets paid for his work.
“As a writer on this, I can confirm this song and idea was sent to her last year to submit for the Barbie movie,” he wrote. “It’s sad to see that the original artist has been pushed off a song that was her idea and was meant for both of them. I have no side in this, but I will be compensated.”
He added: “If or when I need to detail the whole way it went down in regards to this Barbie shit, you will understand why all writers need to be compensated with day rates and contracts protecting their intellectual properties the day of. Hopefully this gets sorted out quietly. But please no I don’t scare easy.”
However, he argues that the Queen emcee took her off, changed the concept to “Barbie World,” and added Ice Spice to the track for the movie.
“Y’all gon’ give me what I deserve,” Martin said. “Now, if Saweetie don’t wanna trip, that’s on her… But we crafted a record that was sent over to Nicki to hop on to submit to the Barbie soundtrack.”
