, the 10-year-old daughter of Will Smith and Jada Pinkett Smith , has teamed up with Young Money artist Nicki Minaj to release “Fireball,” Willow’s third single so far.
The new tune, which was dropped via Willow’s Twitter page , comes as the young artist has been putting the final touches on her debut album, The Epiphany – an effort in which producer Ronald “Jukebox” Jackson has the highest praise.
“Willow is kind of a combination of what ‘Whip My Hair’ was,” Jackson recently told MTV. “Willow just isn’t a pop star, she isn’t just an urban artist; she’s very international. A lot of her music has a very big influence of everything from rock to pop to hip-hop.”
MTV describes Fireball as “a drum-heavy party tune, where the young starlet gets feisty, shows her swagger and proclaims herself the center of attention.”
Nicki Minaj comes in “hot” at the two minute mark, dropping her regular style of verse:
“I’m the Street Fighter, call me Chun-Li/ And it’s going down like a bum knee/ Built the guest house to put the coupe in cause I’m a fireball, Hadouken!”
Minaj also references Willow’s first single [Whip My Hair] when she says, “if they come at you tell them to ‘Raise up!’ When its time to whip your hair, put your braids ups!”
