Lorde has made her fair share of controversial statements on America's biggest pop-culture stars - including Nicki Minaj.

However, according to the Royals singer, her quotes calling rap music "irrelevant" were taken out of context, and the teenager confirmed those claims by praising Nicki Minaj for her "Boss Ass Bitch" remix. The teenage sensation took to Twitter to shout out the YMCMB Queen, suggesting that she's down with the barbie clan like most American teens. Nicki thanked Lorde for her compliments, but then revealed news that copyright rules convinced Universal to take down her Soundcloud link, despite the track being a freestyle.
