Elton John:

He came over; I went, ‘What do I call you? Thug? Young Thug? Mr. Thug?’ He said, ‘No, just call me Jeffery.’ He was very humble and very sweet and asked my advice: ‘What do you think I should do as I go on?’ I said, ‘Did you sing in the gospel choir?’ ‘Yes.’ I said, ‘Then sing a little bit more—use more melody as well as rapping, because you do that brilliantly.’ He came into the studio and he just freestyled it all the way. What he did on the track was amazing, and then we thought we’re going to have to have a female to answer it. Eventually we got hold of Nicki. I never knew Nicki could sing. I’d just heard her rap. She sang beautifully. She really captured the meaning of the song.
