Nicki Minaj has been actively engaging with her music and television appearances. On December 19, 2023, she was in the studio recording a track titled “Roman’s Revenge.” Following her studio session, Minaj made a stunning appearance on ‘The Late Show With Stephen Colbert’ on December 21, 2023. During the show, she reacted to Colbert's response to a lyric change she made in her song “FTCU,” which she altered to reference Colbert himself with lines like “High heels on for Stevie. If I married Stevie, he ain’t ever gonna leave me.” This isn't the first time Colbert has been musically honored by Minaj; in 2018, he allowed her to change her song lyrics to be about him, and now he's the subject of a new tune. The playful exchange between Minaj and Colbert was highlighted as peak late night viewing by Mashable.
