Now this is a collaboration that both C-Squad fans and Barbz have been waiting for since news hit that Ciara and Nicki Minaj were in the studio together.

Produced by Planet VI, the song finds both ladies verbally kicking no-good guys to the curb. A break-up calls for a celebration and that's just what they both do.
