Fans are buzzing about a possible collaboration between Nicki Minaj and The Weeknd following a playful exchange on X (formerly Twitter). Minaj complimented The Weeknd’s signature falsetto, writing, “How does The Weeknd still have that sweet young sounding falsetto?” The Weeknd, real name Abel Tesfaye, responded with heart emojis, fueling speculation that the two might be working together again.

This wouldn’t be the first time the two artists have teamed up; they previously collaborated on a remix of The Weeknd’s hit track “The Hills” in 2015. With both artists currently busy with their respective projects—Minaj’s upcoming Pink Friday 2 album and The Weeknd’s ongoing "After Hours til Dawn" tour—the timing seems ripe for a new collaboration. Fans are keeping their fingers crossed, especially since the exchange brought back memories of their past work together.
Though nothing has been officially confirmed, the lighthearted exchange and their mutual respect have certainly sparked rumors about a new track in the works.
