Nicki Minaj has tackled Rae Sremmurd's massive viral hit "Black Beatles", adding her own words and turning it into "Black Barbies".
The original has gone supernova in recent days/weeks thanks to the ubiquitous 'mannequin challenge', and Minaj's take sees the barbed-tongued rapper on form. She's taken some time out from music in 2016 (although she struck gold with Ariana Grande), but this is a massive solo return - or just an excellent offering to tide us over until her next move.
"Black Beatles" features on Rae Sremmurd's SremmLife 2 record, and features Gucci Mane. You can download it now.
