Nicki, M.I.A. and Madonna were together filming the video for their new single ‘Give Me All Your Love’ so while they were recording one thing they took the opportunity to record another.

Thank you so much. I have to thank the Queen Madonna for giving me this amazing opportunity. I love her so much. She didn’t have to do this for me with M.I.A. but we love you”.

“We love you too,” Madonna and M.I.A. are heard screaming at the end.

Critics will now most likely jump in and slam this new Madonna recording of ‘Happy Birthday’. Let’s give them a head-start. For starters it needs to be asked, “Why is Madonna doing another cover?” Madonna’s version of Happy Birthday is not dancey enough”. “Madonna’s version of Happy Birthday is not ballady enough”. “The lyrics are whimpy”. “It’s been done before”.

But lets let you make up your own mind. Listen to the song below.
