Nicki Minaj made it pretty clear she’s a queen with her last studio album, and she doesn’t intend to take off her crown any time soon. Video for her new song “Hard White” is here and it shows famous rapper affirming her reign.

This spooky visual shows Minaj claiming her throne and rocking several spiky crowns, while an army of the undead creeps around her. She can be seen rocking several impressive outfits thoughtout the video, including a shimmering Gaultier bodysuit and a matching metallic cape.

the video for “Hard White” is the first one Nicki Minaj dropped in 2019, and it perfectly reflects what her latest album, Queen, is all about. Grammy-nominated rapper was very open about her struggles to establish herself as both performer and lyricist, because it often seemed like people are not giving her props for writing her own music.

Despite the fact she used to “work hard, just to get half back” Minaj managed to establish herself in the world of hip-hop and this horror-inspired visual perfectly captures her rise to the top.

Just like many of her previous videos, “Hard White” is filled with symbolic imagery, and some of her fans believes she used it to shade several fellows rappers – including Drake and Cardi B.
