Jessie J says she cried after hearing Nicki Minaj's 'Bang Bang' verse

Jessie J has admitted that she cried "tears of joy" after hearing Nicki Minaj's contribution to her new single 'Bang Bang'.

The two stars have teamed up with Ariana Grande for the blockbuster song, which is available to buy now in the US and scheduled for a September 28 UK release.

Speaking to KISS FM, the Brit said that she had tried to work with Minaj on a previous song but nothing came to fruition.

This meant that hearing the rapper's verse on 'Bang Bang' was extra emotional. Jessie J said:

"I tried to get Nicki on 'Do It Like A Dude' and that never happened. So four or five years later...just to be sent it - I didn't even know she was going to really do it - they sent me a verse and I cried.

"Tears of joy - I was like 'It's so good!'.

'Bang Bang' is due to feature on Jessie J's upcoming third album, which is expected to land later this year.
