The absence of her new album, the follow-up to 2014’s chart-topping, ‘Pinkprint,’ has by no means meant an absence for Nicki Minaj.

This week alone the rapstress made her presence felt in music videos alongside rapper Yo Gotti (‘Rake It Up’) and Katy Perry (‘Swish Swish’), and now the ‘No Frauds’ hitmaker is ready to put a praise on it with gospel songstress Tasha Cobbs-Leonard.

Taking to the mic, Minaj spits:

“Multimillion dollar commercials for Pepsi / From food stamps to more ice than Gretzky / I don’t gotta talk, the Lord defends me / I watched them all fall for going against me / Me and all my angels shot the devil up / While you was trying to pull me down, I leveled up.”

Ocean air, cruisin’ Biscayne
Top off, that’s a liability
Hit the gas, boostin’ my adrenaline

Nicki Minaj‘s flood of the airwaves continues.

This time it’s by way of Major Lazer‘s flavorsome new single ‘Run Up’ which also features PARTYNEXTDOOR. 

With the song wracking up over 200 million streams since its debut, its Paul, Luc, Martin directed video arrives right on time.

Speaking on the concept of the clip, which was unveiled moments ago, the trio say:

“The idea was to laugh at ourselves and at the unconditional love we bear to our smartphones. Humor and absurdity came naturally in our speech because our will was not to accuse someone or something but just exaggerate it to foster reflection.”

Lady Gaga has been a staple in the spotlight since releasing new album ‘Joanne’ and hasn’t shown any plans of vacating.

Fresh from flying high at the Super Bowl and on the Hot 100 with single ‘Million Reasons,’ Mother Monster has teamed up with celebrated music and film director Brett Ratner. 

The latter took to his Instagram to share the snap above, which he coyly captioned…

#TheloveProject On Set with #GAGA

It’s anyone’s guess what the hashtag references, but with Gaga dropping videos without warning of late (hello ‘John Wayne’) it’s not far fetched to think this teaming is for that. Especially given that the months ahead will see her busy with the shooting of new movie ‘A Star Is Born’ alongside Bradley Cooper and heading out on the ‘Joanne World Tour.’

If indeed it’s a new visual, we’re crossing our fingers and toes that it’s for the bodacious bop that is ‘Dancin’ In Circles.’

Take a listen, just because, below…
