Nicki Minaj praised Drake for being such a great friend while also admitting her new album Pink Friday 2 wouldn't be complete without his contributions.

On Friday, Nicki took to her X page, formerly Twitter, to give Drizzy his flowers for the impact he's had on her career. According to Nicki, the 6 God has helped her in so many ways that the Barbz can't comprehend.

"You're like a #needle life's a haystack. Friends- they could go…but, you could stay back," Nicki wrote. "With the enchanting golden boy reppin da 6 airtrain. He also invented a far away land called Canada. I think. ?Someone who helps me more than the barbz will ever know. I love when he's in #GagCity

She continued, "#PinkFriday2 wouldn't have felt complete w/o him. Plus it helps that he be in #BagCity too. So he owns his own line of jets. Named his slogan after me. '"Even when I gotta JET, I BET…on Barbie' "I hear he loves gambling in the casinos out here."

Drake is featured on track number 9 titled "Needle" and its not the only mention of him on the project. On the album closer titled "Just The Memories," Nicki spoke about her relationship with Drake and Lil Wayne as it stands today.

"I told Drake that he don't owe me nothin', never did / I pray that Wayne always remembered that I never slid / Look at all the shit that y'all threw at me, and I never dipped," she raps.
