Minaj, 28, said she was so impressed when she first saw the pair's performance that she had to meet the pint-sized duo.
"Within five seconds of seeing this video I was calling everyone," she said.
"I was also receiving a billion emails. Everyone was like: 'You have to see this little girl'.
"She blew me away ... I said, superstar. Seriously we are watching a journey that?s about to be amazing."
Minaj told the pair to stay in school and put books first and singing second before joining her little fans for another rendition of the song.
Brownlee now has her own YouTube channel and Twitter account.
