Nicki Minaj Joins Maroon 5 for 'Sugar' Remix, Adds Dose of Sweetness Straight from 'Superbass' [LISTEN]

Maroon 5: Sugar

The new remix of "Sugar" kicks off with a new beat, which heavily recalls Minaj's Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded era and her hit single "Superbass." Over the sugary "Sugar" beat, Minaj teases that she's got all of the sweetness that makes the boys want to come and play.

"I got them Now and Laters, Jolly Ranchers too / It ain't a question but I got the answers, too / These shoes is Cavalli and these pants is too / When I see him on the Strip like the dancers do / Imma show 'em how to do it like the panthers do / Show these girls how to do it off-campus, too," Minaj raps at the top of the song before going into her softest, sweetest singing voice.

Minaj's musical addition ends before the song hits the 40-second mark, when Maroon 5's funky pop rock riffs and Levine's voice kick in, but the touches of the remix carry themselves through the subsequent verses, with the dripping synth beat resonating beneath everything else.

Maroon 5 are no strangers to the rap remixes of their V singles. "Maps" got some help from Big Sean and Big Boi hopped on "Animals."
