Oh damn Colbert has learned the art of clapping back. 😂😂 It’s all in good fun though😊. Nicki’s expressions were hilarious, she went from shocked to (jokingly) salty and also proud in the span of .05 sec. 😅 Her smile at the end was like : “Oh dang I taught him too well.”

That would be awesome! I would love that! Nicki and Stephen need to have their own podcast on youtube!!

[@davidedemurodominijanni9889]

Quote you on that. Absolutely. Phenomenal chemistry. The first interview sticked with me as the best Late Show moment ever.

That would be a fabulous event

[@AnimefortheLazyman]

YES!! As a black man I couldn’t put my finger on it why this vibe felt not only familiar but healing ❤️‍🩹 but that’s it! Definitely Snoop + Martha vibes. It’s like, seeing people who on the surface seem complete opposites both in gender, ethnicity, and generation still vibe so well…just makes you feel like the world 🌎 might be ok.

[@carolinematusevich889]

She may rap dirty, but she's always classy when she's interviewed. A lot of female rappers are jealous of her. It seems that the more shit they give her, the higher she soars with her music career. And during 2023, she pretty much hit it out of the park. Only three women who have established music careers owned 2023. And those are Taylor Swift, Miley Cyrus and Nicki Minaj.

[@Rollinjoint]

Beyonce?
