Eric Bellinger On “Anaconda” Issue With Nicki Minaj [Video]

Singer/songwriter Eric Bellinger stopped by the VladTV offices and opened up about co-producing Nicki Minaj’s current smash, “Anaconda,” alongside Polow Da Don and Da Internz. Bellinger spoke about the collaboration in late July with MTV, only to have Nicki tweet that he had nothing to do with the record. Polow Da Don has also come out saying he’s not sure of exactly how Bellinger contributed to the song. When asked if the whole thing was simply a misunderstanding, or if Nicki was honestly not aware of his contributions, Bellinger says she was definitely aware, but that she likely had a problem with him being the first to speak on the song, as opposed to her being the first to publicize the record to the press. The “Fine China” writer says he completely understands that perspective, as it’s her song and she should be able to promote it as she sees fit. However, he felt it unnecessary for her to claim he had nothing to do with the record and to completely dismiss his contribution. At this point, the Grammy Award-winning writer says he hasn’t spoken to Nicki since, and is waiting to see if any of the other records they cut together will be making her album. Overall, however, he’s choosing to focus on the positive aspects of his career and not dwell on unfortunate situations like this one. The singer/songwriter also dished his thoughts on Iggy Azalea’s rumored sex tape.
