Nicki Minaj’s ‘Beez In The Trap’ Video Is A Thank-You To Strippers

Brand-new clip is a throwback to MC’s pre-Young Money days when she was performing for her ‘most die-hard fans’ at strip clubs. By Rob Markman Nicki Minaj in her video for “Beez In The Trap” Photo: UMG Who says you can’t go back? Nicki Minaj surely doesn’t, as her brand-new, eye-popping “Beez in the Trap” video is a throwback to the MC’s pre-Young Money days. “When I was doing my mixtapes, I would perform in strip clubs, I would perform in clubs and it was just like some of my most die-hard fans would be in these places,” Nicki told MTV News on Friday after putting on a secret show in Times Square . “I wanted to kinda like honor them — kinda honor all my girls in the club and just say thank you for the support.” The Benny Boom-directed clip, which was released Friday, follows Nicki as she struts through the nudie bar counting hundreds and working her money-maker in some very flattering outfits. In one scene, Ms. Minaj sports a leopard-print catsuit and shakes her tail feather alongside “Beez in the Trap” guest 2 Chainz . “When I see the strippers and all of that, they always show me love, so I wanted to kinda make a video around them,” the reigning rap queen said. “I hit up Benny Boom like, ‘Yo, I need a sexy video right now.’ I knew 2 Chainz wasn’t gonna be mad.” “Beez” is the second video from Nicki’s Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded. The album, which is expected to hit #1 on the Billboard 200 album chart later this week, features an even distribution of pop tracks like the RedOne-produced “Starships” and more street-oriented material. The 2 Chainz-assisted track definitely falls in the latter category. “He’s an amazing dude, very hard worker,” Nicki said of the bubbling Atlanta MC. “I love my ‘Beez in the Trap’ video. This is my hood video, obviously.” What do you think of Nicki Minaj’s “Beez in the Trap” video? Let us know in the comments! Related Artists Nicki Minaj

Katy Perry Brings Her Sweet Tooth To ‘The Sims’

Singer created a ‘Candyfornia’ world for ‘The Sims 3: Katy Perry’s Sweet Treats’ game, out in June. By Christina Garibaldi Katy Perry Photo: MTV News Katy Perry is sweetening up life for “The Sims.” The pop star is teaming up yet again with Electronic Arts in “The Sims 3: Katy Perry’s Sweet Treats” game, available this June. Players will enter a Perry-inspired “Candyfornia,” where they can outfit their Sims in an array of Perry’s clothing and hairstyles and turn their neighborhoods and homes into a sweet-tooth’s dream. “I loved being a part of all the creative process … which outfit is my Sim going to have, what kind of hair color. Because when we were creating it together, I had pink hair, now I’m blue,” Perry told MTV News in February. “But you now have so many options.” “Sweet Treats” also features colorful items to enhance the Sims’ surroundings, including a waffle-cone picnic table, cupcake-themed guitars and Perry’s favorite, a banana-split sofa. “It’s more costumes, more props, more ‘Candyfornia,’ is what I call it, to add to your ‘Sims’ game,” Perry said. “What’s awesome about this is that some of the pieces that they had made and sketched for the ‘Sweet Treats’ package are so cool that I think I’m going to get them made. There’s this one banana-split sofa that you’re sitting on the banana part and the rest of the frosting and all the ice cream, it looks like it’s melting … so cool! I’m like, ‘Where can I pull all this crazy stuff?’ ” And while players are creating their candylicious world, they will have the pleasure of listening to Perry’s hit song “Last Friday Night (T.G.I.F.),” which she recorded in the Sims’ official language, Simlish. “I’m recording another song in Simlish. I’ve decided to record ‘Last Friday Night’ ’cause it’s really fun,” Perry said. “It seems to be a favorite of all the ‘Sims’ gamers.” This isn’t the first time that Perry has done a Simlish song. She recorded “Hot n’ Cold” for “The Sims 2: Apartment Life.” But even though she’s recorded two songs in the Simlish language so far, by no means does she consider herself an expert. “Expert? No; it’s hard,” Perry said of singing in Simlish. “I have a cheat sheet, so when I go in and record ‘Last Friday Night’ in Simlish, I’m going to be following everything. It kind of sounds like you’re speaking in tongues, which I grew up doing anyways, so I feel I have a bit of an advantage. It’s not an easy feat.” Perry is also featured in “The Sims 3: Showtime,” which hit stores last month. Are you excited to hear “Last Friday Night” in Simlish? Let us know in the comments.

Nicki Minaj Finishes Explicit ‘Beez In The Trap’ Video

Clip for Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded single with 2 Chainz is ‘real sexy,’ Minaj tells MTV News. By Rob Markman, with reporting by Kelly Marino Nicki Minaj Photo: MTV News Nicki Minaj isn’t just creative in the studio — she puts it down on the video set as well. With her first album, we saw the Harajuku Barbie and Amber Rose get their “Thelma & Louise” on in the “Massive Attack” clip, and then saw Nicki the Ninja fight for her man in the “Your Love” video. In the clip for “Fly,” the reigning rap queen sang alongside Rihanna in a post-apocalyptic wasteland, and then, in the bright and cheery “Super Bass” vid, she proved that even the baddest Barbs just want to have fun. Makes you wonder what Nicki has in store visually for her sophomore LP, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded , in stores Tuesday (April 3). We’ve already gotten the Hype Williams-directed “Stupid Hoe,” but there is no telling what Nicki will do next — though we’ll soon find out. “You’re getting two videos: You’re getting the ‘Starships’ video, which I’m hoping it will hurry up and happen,” she told MTV News on Thursday after her “American Idol” performance in L.A. Fans have already gotten a small taste of the ‘Starships’ vid thanks to the set pics that leaked earlier this month of Nicki in a pink bikini, but the Young Money hitmaker still has to do color corrections before the visual is complete. Minaj plans to first release the video for her 2 Chainz-assisted single “Beez in the Trap.” “I actually finished the editing for ‘Beez in the Trap,’ which features 2 Chainz, and … I love that video,” Nicki gushed. She guessed the ‘Beez in the Trap’ clip would come out Tuesday in conjunction with her album release, but couldn’t say with 100 percent confidence. Regardless of its drop date though, Nicki promised quality. “It’s real sexy,” she boasted. “There’s a clean version and an explicit version, and it’s goin’ to be poppin’.” To celebrate Tuesday’s (April 3) release of Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded , we will be examining the “Evolution of Nicki Minaj” throughout the week. Check MTV News every day to see how the Southside Jamaica, Queens, Barbie went from a promising mixtape standout to rap’s reigning queen. Related Videos The Evolution Of Nicki Minaj
