For his latest release, Caiden flips Nicki Minaj's "Barbie Dreams" (itself a flip of a certain classic) to pay homage to the Queen artist.

Shouting out Consequence's son for his new "Dream About Nicki" track, Minaj herself called the young artist a "superstar" in the making. "He's a superstar, babe!" she told Cons before throwing a compliment directly to Caiden. "I'll meet you ANYTIME, my love! Great job!"

The track follows Caiden's rework of Nas' "Cops Shot the Kid," taken from his NASIR album. The video for Caiden's rework, as directors Boat + Bridge explained to Complex when premiering it back in August, was dedicated to Lesandro "Junior" Guzman-Feliz and "all those who have lost their lives at the hands of senseless violence."

Also in August, Caiden celebrated Dave Chappelle's birthday by rapping him an excerpt from his upcoming Just Being a Kid project, due later this year. Caiden has also recently shared photos with Ty Dolla Sign, Jaden Smith, Jarobi White, and more. Will any of them pop up on Just Being a Kid? We should know soon enough.
