Pop Princess [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Britney Spears[/lastfm] isn’t afraid to share her fierce Femme Fatale tour bill with Barbie Girl, [lastfm link_type="artist_info"]Nicki Minaj[/lastfm].

While other pop stars might fall into catty competition, Spears actually has a sort of girl crush on Minaj, especially because she is an uber-talented MC.

[pullquote quote="I think she's great...She's a great artist in every way and I'm really happy for her."]Britney Spears told MTV News:

“I think she’s great…She’s a great artist in every way and I’m really happy for her.”

“I think she has a distinct sound when she raps…It really stands out and sets her apart from everyone else. I’m happy she’s able to be on tour with me because that’s just amazing.”

“At the end of the show, the last song she comes on every once in awhile…Not every show, but it’s usually special when she does it.”

@NickiMinaj is killing it in Nashvegas. I see you girl. Can't wait to get on stage. -Brit—
