Check The Credits: Pop Wansel Speaks On Producing For Usher, Rihanna, Nicki Minaj & More

“Right By My Side” – Nicki Minaj featuring Chris Brown

“I did that beat in Philly. I sent it to Nicki and she had said she loved it. Right before the album was about to close she said she wasn’t sure if she was going to use the beat. She hit me about two weeks later like ‘Did you give it away? I need that beat.’ Nicki changes her mind so much, so every time I give her a record I make sure I don’t give it to anybody else until after it’s confirmed that it won’t make the album. Sometimes she’s like “I don’t want it anymore” at first and then she’s like “Yo I fuck with it.” She sent it to my sister from another mister, Ester Dean, who I love. Dean did her shit. Then Nicki put Chris on it. I was in LA when Nicki first played it for me. I was like ‘Wow, it’s kind of crazy.'”
