Nicki Minaj tells Jessie J she never asked "to get on" the song 'Bang Bang'

Jessie J, in an interview with Glamour, claimed that the hit song Bang Bang, was initially only set to star herself and Ariana Grande. She also claimed that upon hearing the song and their "version" of it, Nicki Minaj allegedly wanted to "jump on." The Price Tag singer said: 

Max Martin wrote 'Bang Bang,' and Ariana had been played it, I'd been played it, and we both loved it. We just said, 'Why don't we both do it?' So Ariana stayed on the second verse, I recorded the first verse, and then Nicki was played it in the studio and was like, 'I've got to jump on this.' We didn't go to her and ask; she wanted to do it.

I'll never forget: I was in my bedroom in my flat in London, and I got sent the version with Nicki on it. I just sat at the end of my bed holding my phone, staring at the floor, going, 'How the f--k did I land this?' I literally felt like I'd won a competition.

Minaj then responded to the allegation, saying that she never asked to be on the song but was asked to be on it by the label. In response, Minaj tweeted saying: 

When a fan claimed that Jessie herself had admitted to Minaj being asked to be on the song, Nicki retweeted and shared another tweet talking about how she did not harbour any negativity towards Jessie. In fact, Nicki tweeted that she wished she could have been part of Jessie J's song, Do It Like a Dude, mentioning how her friend Parker even helped write it. She said:
