Nicki Minaj has just released a fierce new single entitled Megatron — not to be confused with the notorious leader of the Decepticons in the Transformers franchise.
The tune is the first original song by the Anaconda rapper since she released her latest studio album, Queen (2018). It dropped on Friday, June 21, after being teased on social media throughout the majority of the week.
Megatron was accompanied by the release of an extremely colourful and exotic Mike Ho-directed music video. The sensual short sees Minaj, 36, in an assortment of unique settings, environments and outfits.
