Amid an eventful week, Nicki Minaj remembered to drop her “Barbie Dreams” music video.
The colorful video features Minaj in bright outfits with matching technicolor wigs to go along with them. The Trini rapper was accompanied by a few puppets who resemble several famous faces including Drake, Lil Wayne and DJ Khaled.

While others seemed underwhelmed.
So Nicki looks beautiful in the Barbie Dreams video and the quality is stunning. But aside from Chun Li & Barbie Tingz, every video has just been her awkwardly showing off her body with half concepts. BD video coulda been great & hilarious if it focused on just the puppets.

Barbie Dreams video was kinda disappointing. Now , she looked AHMAZING. Her wigs were slated, her makeup was banging and her body was absolute goals. However, for such an epic song, I expected more than video photo shoot. It could have been saved for the song’s second half.

The video for Barbie Dreams was boring lets be honest. Aside from some good outfits and hairstyles it was bland. No amount of muppets cod have saved it.

Some believe she borrowed from enemy Lil Kim.
