G-Unit's Tony Yayo has publicly praised Nicki Minaj and said the Young Money artist should definitely get down with his camp.

Yayo also revealed G-Unit passed up on an opportunity to sign her years ago.

"We could of signed Nicki Minaj," Yayo revealed in an interview. "It was just [a matter of] time and opportunity. We could of signed Keyshia Cole too, I was locked up [during] that -- she does represent South Side Jamaica Queens, Nicki Minaj. She came up with a down South artist because she was managed by Waka's moms, right? I never crossed paths with her. Yeah [she should be with G-Unit], she's from South Side Jamaica Queens, h*ll yeah, she should be the with Unit. That should be her swag from South Side Jamaica Queens, a bulletproof vest on Nicki Minaj. [laughs] That'll look great." (XXL Mag)
