"I respect you publicly being yourself @nickiminaj • So here I am being myself," Jessie begain her lengthy message to the rapper. "If we can’t laugh in the lives we have been blessed with. What’s the point. It really isn’t that deep."

"From the moment I met you to now I have shown you nothing but love and gratitude for how f***ing blessed I was to have you and @arianagrande who btw wrote Bang Bang with the insanely talented Max Martin which I found out today. Jesus. What a day. Sorry Ari. I never knew. Wild." She continued, "I’m the first person to admit Bang Bang would NEVER have been what it was without you guys."

"I’m sorry I got the story wrong all these years, I was told you heard the song and wanted to be on it by someone clearly gassing me up at the label. (Bless them and my naive ass) Thank you for clarifying I was wrong on that and Do it like dude 😂 Told me huh."

The label asked me2get on it & paid me. How would I have heard the song? chiiille what am I the damn song monitor? Snoopin around for songs chile? This was said by another artist recently as well.
