It’s kind of customary to begin a story about Nicki Minaj by saying how good her mixtapes were, and how disappointing her debut album was.

While there are moments of fun stuff (like ‘Super Bass’) there have been a lot of releases that aren’t really good enough for Minaj.

So, with that out of the way, here’s the brand new video from Nicki. It’s her duet with Chris Brown called ‘Right By My Side’. Nicki looks, as expected, like some crazy come-to-life mannequin, but what wasn’t expected was Nas’s cameo.

The Queens-bred rap icon is making out with Minaj and doesn’t even have a verse in the video?

Colour us confused.
