After clapping back at Cardi B on Monday via her "Queen" radio episode, Nicki Minaj decides to come through hours later and share the official video for her much-talked about Queens record "Barbie Dreams," which is inspired by Biggie’s Ready to Die classic “Just Playing (Dreams).”

Directed by Hype Williams, the vibrant visual finds Nicki in various sexy outfits, while some puppets play the roles of the rappers she name drops throughout the record. Nicki flaunts her thick assets & bold hairstyles, while name dropping the likes of DJ Khaled, 6ix9ine, and Lil Wayne, who all get the puppet treatment. It serves as the follow up video to "Ganja Burn."

“I only mentioned people in #BarbieDreams that I fuk wit. This isn’t a diss,” Nicki said. “Yikes. This is culture, this is BIGGIE!!!!! New York!!!! This is FUN. Light hearted fun FUN,” she added.

Check out the official video (above) and let us know what you think. Queen available now on iTunes.
