Nicki Minaj is out with a new music video called The Pinkprint Movie, a 16-minute short film about the pain of breaking up, drawing from her own split with Safaree Samuels. The “music movie” combines together three tracks — “The Crying Game,” “I Lied” and “Grand Piano” — from Minaj’s new album, The Pinkprint.
Minaj was on a roll this week, also making a guest appearance on Inside the NBA Thursday night for a freestyle rap session, featuring retired NBA stars Shaquille O’Neal, Grant Hill, Kenny Smith and commentator Ernie Johnson:
