LLC - NICKI MINAJ (3rd verse)
“Ayo, look at what they made me do, they made me do”

Nicki kicks off a reference-filled verse with an allusion to Taylor Swift’s 2017 track “Look What You Made Me Do,” on which Swift frowns on her past self and celebrates the strong person she has become because of adversity.
Nicki previously featured on Katy Perry’s May 2017 song “Swish Swish,” which is believed to be about Perry’s feud with Swift.
“Switched the foreign on 'em, navy blue to baby blue”

Nicki boasts her car collection yet again stating that she was in her navy blue foreign car and switched to the baby blue just to stunt on em.
She said a similar line on a song with Young Thug titled “Anybody” from Thug’s EP:

“Jump in the Bent then I switched to the Ghost like ‘whoooo’s you?’”

By stretching the sound of “who” she is imitating an actual ghost or apparition as displayed in popular fictional movies.
“Look at how they started pussy poppin when 80 flew”

This is most likely a reference to strip clubs and throwing bands. Nicki says the girls start bussin’ it open when 80k flew in the air as they might not be used to such large sums of money being given in one night.
“All my niggas move that Britney, Ari, yeah Katy too”

Nicki has collaborated with all three of the popstars mentioned here: Britney Spears on “Till The World Ends Remix,”, Ariana Grande on “Side To Side,” and Katy Perry on “Swish Swish.”
All three of the women referenced are white — “white girl” is slang for cocaine, based on the drug’s white color. Nicki also references drug dealing on “Barbie Dreams”:

“Step your banks up like you’re movin’ that yayo” in reference to Lloyd Banks and Tony Yayo of 50 Cents G-Unit
“Niggas gassed on the really though, gas I pumped them”

To be “gassed” is to be made to think that your better than you really our due to people complimenting or recognizing you. Nicki plays on the function of actual gas pumps here. They gassed off shit Nicki gave them. Hmmm...
“Straight trash on the really yo, yes I dumped him”

Could be in reference to an ex of Nicki’s as she changes from plural “them” to the singular “him”. Safaree Samuels falsely claimed he wrote for Nicki. This could be directed to him as his music has always been lack lustre.
“Push the limits, I’m a pushy bitch, yes I bumped him”

Nicki compares her pushing the boundaries of what a rap artist is with her boss-like “bitchy” personality. To push someone can be compared with “bumping” into them. She is saying she took the top spot.
“Pushed past being filthy rich, ask, I trumped them”

Not only is Nicki rich, she’s beyond filthy rich amassing a $100M net worth in her career so far. To trump something/someone means to outrank or defeat it usually in a highly public way.
This also references current billionaire president Donald Trump who has also pushed past being filthy rich.
“Never been clearer, clearer, don’t force it, Farrah, Farrah”

In true Nicki fashion, she has used her accent to craft a rhyme. “Force it” only rhymes with Fawcett (referring to the late actress Farrah Fawcett) in the context of the New York City accent.
Ironically, there is a forced rhyme in this line (“clearer” and “Farrah”.)

This could also be a dig to her beef with TV personality Farrah Abraham back in 2016, specifically when Farrah said to her, “To be clear my mom doesn’t help me I help her.”
“Because you'll never be me, that's word to Bella, Gigi: Dolce Gabbana, DG, pretty gang rated PG (Woah)”

Dolce Gabbana is an Italian luxury fashion house. In 2014, Nicki was spotted wearing the brand during her appearance on the Live Kelly and Michael show.
Bella and Gigi Hadid are models at the top of their games whom will likely never be replicated in stature. Nicki plays on “PG.” It refers to Parental Guidance but in Nicki’s case, it’s “Pretty Gang.”
