Nicki Minaj has released the music video for her latest single, Bed, featuring Ariana Grande. The two music superstars have teamed up again on the sultry tune Bed, the latest single off Minaj’s forthcoming Queen album (out Aug. 10). In the official music video for the song,  Minaj and Grande spend a sun-soaked day at the beach together — which ends with both of them hanging out next to each other in (where else?) bed.

After teasing fans from sometime with clips on Twitter featuring scenes filled with gorgeous sunsets, mermaid tails, and Minaj and Grande posing in bubble pools and on a tropical beach, Minaj promised fans wouldn’t be disappointed withe the final product, and she wasn’t kidding. Minaj is seen rolling around the beach waves, topless in a mermaid tail — and that’s just one of the many looks the 35-year-old rapper rocks. She also hangs poolside in a one-piece bathing suit with a not-so-subtle “Queen” necklace, splashes in the waves in a pink gown, and spends some time in bed by herself in a sheer red lingerie number. From being sexy mermaid who transforms into a  human form, slither around on a bed and in the ocean for a while, hooks up with a couple of hot, tattooed guys and then … transforms back into a mermaid? Somehow, it looks like a sexed up spoofy version of Pirates of Caribbeans: On Stranger Tides.

Grande, meanwhile, stays cool in some lingerie of her own, including a white bra with fur details, singing romantic chorus and all along praising and needing her ‘bad girl counterpart’.

Both of them first joined forces in 2014, when Grande first delivered the slinky hook on Minaj’s Pink Print hit Get on Your Knees. Next the duo paired with Jessie J for their 2013 chart-topper (and Grammy-nominated) Bang Bang and then scored a smash with Side to Side (The song peaked at number 4 on both the US Billboard Hot 100 and the UK Singles Chart and garnered around 1.3 Billion views on YouTube) , the second single from Grande’s 2016 album Dangerous Woman.

Eventually, the ladies find the objects of their desire- you guessed it, waiting for them on two beds — as the sun sets down behind them.

However, this is not the only video in existence. On Twitter, Minaj noted: “One more thing; there r 2 #BedVideo edits, as there were 2 directors involved.”

One more thing; there r 2 #BedVideo edits, as there were 2 directors involved. You’ll see the first today. also, it won’t be on vevo for like another 24 hours. You’ll see it on YouTube until then. I’ll prob release the other edit in a week. Idk.

Nicki Minaj recently made news with her act of generosity through Twitter where she pledged to pay off tuition fees for students with straight A’s but can’t afford to pay. Initially, Minaj sent a tweet inviting her 20 million followers to create a video with any new song of hers, but when one person replied saying she’d rather have help with her tuition fee, Nicki agreed.

“Show me straight A’s that I can verify with your school and I’ll pay it. Who wants to join THAT contest?!?! Dead serious,” she tweeted. Minaj soon had made promises in response to more than 30 tweets seeking help paying university tuition, which can be notoriously expensive in the United States, or to cover student loans or textbooks.

Here are a few screen grabs from her Twitter handle:
