After weeks of anticipation Nicki Minaj has finally dropped the seductive music video Bed featuring Ariana Grande from her upcoming album Queen. And It’s not the first time Minaj and Grande have collaborated together

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. 💭🦄🧜🏽‍♀️🎀 🛏

Have you ever envisioned a rapper from Kerala taking off similar pranks for a viral music video on the internet? That’s exactly what HanuMankind’s “Big Dawgs” has accomplished, racking up over 17 million views on YouTube and holding the 43rd position in the worldwide top music video chart right now.

“Pushing culture baby, got that product you can’t measure,” is the official slogan of the “Big Dawgs.” Rapper HanuMankind, who was born in Kerala, wrote, sang, and performed the song that launched desi hip-hop on a worldwide scale. This newest Instagram success is causing social media influencers, music reviewers, and fans worldwide to go crazy.

The newest mega song, “Big Dawg” featuring Kalmi, is causing quite a stir among hip-hop fans worldwide. Texas is where Sooraj Cherukat, better known by his stage as HanuMankind, spent his formative years. He created the ideal combination of desi and global components in the ‘Big Dawg’ music video by incorporating sounds with a Texas flavour.

‘Big Dawg’ is a raw video with a South American flavour, shot in Ponnani, Kerala, a coastal district. It has a desi swagger and an explosive punk vibe that is hard-hitting due to its South Indian location. It is Instagram-worthy thanks to its intense drumbeats, gritty graphics, heart-pounding moments, and deft editing.

With songs like “Rush Hour,” “Genghis,” and “Go To Sleep,” HanuMankind is becoming one of the most prominent names in popular hip-hop. ‘Big Dawgs’ has now catapulted him to an unparalleled level as an industry innovator.

Bijoy Shetty is the director of “Big Dawgs,” and Kalmi of Brown Crew Productions is supporting the film. The main rider, Sulthan Sheikh, Moor Saleem, Muhammad Shadab Ansari, and Kashish Sheikh all perform the tricks.
