Nicki Minaj had previously praised Sabrina Carpenter and called her "a breath of fresh air"

This was not the first time that Nicki Minaj seemingly praised Sabrina Carpenter. In May 2025, Nicki sat for an interview with Vogue Italia. During the conversation with the outlet, Nicki was asked to share something about some of her new favorite artists. To this, Nicki Minaj responded by taking Sabrina's name. The Anaconda singer then said,

"I didn’t know she’d been around that long when I started listening to her. A breath of fresh air."

This surfaced a few months before Sabrina was about to drop her upcoming album Man's Best Friend, which is set to release on August 29, 2025. As far as the studio album is concerned, Sabrina Carpenter has dropped only one single from the project, as of now.

The song Manchild reportedly appeared on four different charts published by Billboard. The track reportedly sits in the top 10 on the Adult Pop Airplay and Radio Songs charts.

In the caption of an Instagram post, Sabrina revealed that she had penned down the lyrics for Manchild on a "random Tuesday." The singer further wrote,

"It ended up being the best random Tuesday of my life. Not only was it so fun to write, but this song became something I can look back on that will score the mental montage to the very confusing and fun young adult years of life."

Fans are excited for the upcoming album that will be released later this month. Meanwhile, despite speculations about Nicki Minaj featuring in Sabrina Carpenter's Man's Best Friend, none of the artists have confirmed the same.
