On Sunday, Rinaldy told Antara that Hong Kong-based PR agency, The Clique, contacted him in early April regarding a request to design a mask for a client who preferred to remain anonymous.
He added that the task was quite challenging as he could create whatever he wanted. Out of three designs he created, one was later chosen by the client.
“When the music video was released, my PR agency sent me a message,” said Rinaldy, adding that he was very happy to find out that the client was Minaj.
