Reports of the pair’s imminent team-up emerged last month when New York radio host Honey German said on Twitter that the song was “coming out soon”.
On June 10, it was officially confirmed that ‘Trollz’ would be arriving on June 12 after both rappers’ online merchandise stores were updated to include physical and digital formats of the track.
The sites also now feature brightly coloured ‘Trollz’-themed apparel, including branded crop puffer jackets, trousers and shorts for men and women.
On Instagram, Minaj said that a portion of the proceeds would be going to the Bail Project Inc. The non-profit organisation assists low-income individuals in seeking free bail.
“A portion of the proceeds from #Trollz including merch items, will be going directly to The Bail Project Inc.,” she said. “The fund provides free bail assistance to low-income individuals who can’t afford to pay bail while awaiting their trial.
“We want to protect and support the thousands of brave people working on the front lines of social justice, using their voices to demand AN END to the targeting and killing of Black Americans by the police.”
This comes after protests against racial injustice recently erupted in the US, the UK and around the world in the wake of George Floyd’s death in Minneapolis.
