(VEVO) Nicki Minaj is working overtime to find new, inventive ways to showcase her bouncy bikini-ed body, y'all. The rapper's new Benny Boom-directed video is packed with jiggling, gyrating skin as per usual, but there's a twist: It was filmed in her homeland of Trinidad. "Pound the Alarm" looks like it was crafted specifically to boost tourism to the tiny island nation, with its sweeping panoramic seashore shots and glimpses into the brightly-hued bash that is Carnival. Minaj sweeps through the streets in a red feathered costume that showcases her ample bosom (big surprise) before partying it up with a bevy of barely-dressed dancers. On Twitter, Minaj noted that the final scene was hard to shoot: "those were REAL fireworks that scared the living daylights out of me! Lmao. I was like "get me down!!!!!" Minaj's cousins also make an appearance in the video. Check out her entourage: Related Articles:

Johnny Louis/George Chin/WENN.com Nicki Minaj and Azealia Banks appear to be locked in a feud over the Young Money rapper's 'Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded' tour. 'Liquorice' femcee Azealia posted a message on Twitter claiming that she had been invited to join Nicki on her current tour but couldn't commit to the dates as she is working on her debut album. However, all hell broke loose with both the ladies' fans when Nicki fired a subliminal shot supposedly back at Azealia. "I got invited to tour with Nicki Minaj in Europe but I cant go b/c I have to finish my album during that time :(," Azealia wrote. When Nicki replied: "#ManTheseB***hesDelirious," one fan wrote: "I doubt nicki would invite Azebra bankrubt... She doesn't support other female rappers... & Azealia a mess." "Nicki Minaj is a shady c**t for that tweet lol smh... But Azealia Banks is just as shady.. they are match made in heaven," read another user

Giselle Phelps July 30, 2012 DALLAS, TEXAS Nicki Minaj was in DFW Sunday night to perform at the Verizon Theatre in Grand Prairie. She was also supposed to make an appearance at Zouk nightclub for an after party. The owner of Zouk says Minaj was paid more than $30,000 for the appearance, but at the last minute didn't show. From my understanding, she was outside, she had shown up, her security had done a walkthrough and she just decided not to come in, said Zouk spokesperson Matt Cislo. The club says an outside promoter rented the venue for the event. Zouk says it was given copies of a contract and money transfer signed between the promoter and Minaj's group called 'Pink Personality LLC'. We looked at their contracts, the wire transfer, we had seen everything; that`s why we went through with the show, said Cislo. Minaj sent out some tweets Sunday saying: "no after party tonight" and "shout out to the promoters who sold tickets under false pretenses"

Azealia Banks. ( Lawrence K. Ho / Los Angeles Times / July 30 , 2012 ) By Gerrick D. Kennedy July 30, 2012 , 1:56 p.m. It must be good to be Azealia Banks these days. The bawdy firecracker still doesn't have her debut in stores, but she continued to build upon the massive hype thats made her a major darling on rap and indie blogs. She fanned the flames recently by issuing a free mixtape, Fantasea. With this hype comes demand, and she's apparently already had to turn down one major offer: hitting the road with Nicki Minaj . I got invited to tour with Nicki Minaj in Europe but I can't go because I have to finish my album during that time. :(, Banks tweeted Monday. Minajs Pink Friday Tour wrapped a leg in Europe earlier this month and is currently in the States -- Minaj will play the Nokia Theatre on Aug. 8 -- before a few more European dates in late August. The pairing could have been the girl power moment of the year, given the scarcity of successful femcees. But were s

Nicki Minaj has reportedly demanded a caravan especially for her wigs at V Festival. The rapper is said to be planning so many costume changes that she needs a separate area to store her hair pieces. Ian West/PA Wire/Press Association Images Organisers have apparently arranged a Winnebago for the backstage Virgin Media Louder Lounge, nicknaming the area the 'Wiggy-bago'. A source told PA that Minaj has also asked for "at least 20 wig stands, 10 cans of hairspray, 300 hair pins, five combs, spare wig caps, and a 360 degree mirror." V Festival is due to take place on August 18 and 19 in Essex and Staffordshire. The Stone Roses, Happy Mondays, Sir Tom Jones, Snow Patrol, Ed Sheeran, Tinie Tempah, Example and Olly Murs are also scheduled to perform at the festival. Minaj was recently grabbed by an overexcited fan while on stage in Florida, with security guards having to rescue her from the man. Watch Nicki Minaj's video for 'Starships' below:

Saturday Jul 28 2012 Nicki Minaj has likened herself to Superman in the way she transforms her clothing style. The pop star ditches her onstage wardrobe for more comfortable clothing on her days off. Nicki is also more relaxed with her beauty regime - opting for a more natural look rather than the high maintenance persona she puts on for performances. "People imagine me constantly running around in high heels, even when I am at home. But it's not like that," Nicki explained. "I am always cold, so I put on layers of T-shirts, pants, trousers and socks and I wear nothing except for lip balm on my face. But as soon as I am set for a performance on stage I am like Clark Kent, who transforms into Superman." In order to get ready for her stage shows and events, Nicki admits the transformation can be a lengthy process. As well as having numerous wardrobe choices available, the star is indecisive with her dressing. "You don't want to know how much time I need t

Nicki Minaj 7:30 p.m., UNO Lakefront Arena JOEL RYAN/ AP PHOTO Wild-eyed rapper and Lil Wayne protg Nicki Minaj had plenty of time to simmer (her first mixtape dropped in 2007) before the release of her first bona fide studio album, Pink Friday, at the end of 2010. Maybe thats why she exploded, subsequently, at such a rolling boil; her crazy costumes, quick-cut videos and elaborate (and sometimes confusing ) stage performances have earned her comparisons to Lady Gaga, and sometimes obscure consideration of her talent. They shouldnt; brush away the smoke and mirrors, and her quirky rhymes, quick tongue and distinctive bratty-baby voice make her one of the most interesting artists in rap. Tickets $37 and up.

At her latest tour pit stop in promotion of Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded in Miami, as Nicki Minaj was talking on stage, an overzealous fan lost control of themselves and attempted to bum-rush the stage but found himself abruptly halted and then attacked by a boisterous security. Online reports have viewed the altercation as the fan getting "pummeled" and it was all captured on video, with security and Minaj's alleged boyfriend and definite hype-man SB kicking and punching the fan in front of a packed house. When he leaped on stage, he looked like he was trying to give her a hug and as she appeared bewildered, the punky-dresse d concert-goer was whisked away in a ball of fury, and two other men hopped on stage running after security, which were most likely his friends as they weren't in security or Minaj entourage gear. Minaj laughed off the situation, most likely from an uncomfortabl e stance, and thanked Florida for their love. Check out the video below!

Young Money star Nicki Minaj recently talked about her past bond alongside Waka Flocka Flame and why her pre-fame days around him has cemented their relationship. The platinum-selling rapper explained why she did not even think twice about collaborating on Flocka's "Get Low" record. "Waka Flocka is my brother. People know that I go way back with him and whatever he needs me to do, it gets done," Minaj said. "He called me, he sent me a song, I said, 'It's nothing.' I was finishing up my album and I said, 'You know? I got you, it's nothing.'" When asked if her relationship with Waka has remained intact over the years, the Queens rapper seemed confused by the question, addressing Waka directly: "Still cool? Why wouldn't we be still cool, babe?" ( MTV ) In May, Flocka said his past stints behind bars resulted in Minaj eventually siding with Lil Wayne 's Young Money family. "Yea, I can say that. 'Cause

Even before she was part of the YMCMB camp, Nicki Minaj had a close friendship with Waka Flocka Flame, and the two linked up recently on the Atlanta rapper's single "Get Low" from his Triple F Life album. Nicki joined Waka and Tyga on set to shoot the song's video this week, where she told MTV News that things between her and Waka are still golden. Early in her career, Nicki Minaj was managed by Waka's mother Debra Antney, and when she parted ways from Antney, things seemed to go sour. Despite some of the fallout from that separation, Nicki brushes it off now, confirming that it hasn't affected her relationship with Waka. "Waka Flocka is my brother. People know that I go way back with him and whatever he needs me to do, it gets done," Minaj said. "He called me, he sent me a song, I said, 'It's nothing.' I was finishing up my album and I said, 'You know? I got you, it's nothing.' " When asked if her relationship with

Can it be that it was all so simple then? A time when shopping at the same wig stop wasn't enough to incite a rap beef? Eve thinks so. The Philly MC was reminiscing as talk turned to rap's reigning princess, Nicki Minaj , and the game's Queen Bee, Lil' Kim . Just a few months after she joined the Notorious K.I.M. for a surprise performance at the Bronx's Paradise Theatre, MTV News caught up with Eve in New Orleans, where she put on a turned-up show at the Essence Music Festival over Fourth of July weekend. With newbies like Azealia Banks taking shots at vets like Kim, and the Bed-Stuy spitter, in turn, taking aim at YMCMB's leading lady, we asked onetime first lady of Ruff Ryders to weigh in on the current state of affairs. "It sucks 'cause it's lacking. It really is, you know?" she said of the current female MC scene. "I mean, there are some dope females. Nicki is definitely holding it down. ...

WENN Rapper Nicki Minaj has reportedly been scammed out of a whopping $100,000 by a producer that was hired to help produce her vid for 'Pound The Alarm'. And that's not all - the thief is apparently a local man in her home country of Trinidad. Scandalous! According to Star magazine , the feisty female has been ripped off by the film producer, named Ellis Briggs, after she hired him to help on the set of her video. Local reports say that Ellis took the cash without delivering any of the promised services, creating an absolute nightmare for all involved. Police have since confirmed that a report has been filed by London Alley Entertainment, which shot and produced the hit vid. However, the man in question has since denied everything and has in fact turned the tables onto Nicki's team, saying that her production team actually owes him $19,000 for his services and has even gone as far as to say that the negative press surrounding the alleged incident has in fact compromise

Nicki Minaj quickly became a global music phenomenon when she released her debut album Pink Friday in November 2010. It became an instant hit, peaking at number one on the U.S. Billboard 200 and being certified Platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) only a month after its release.

Nicki Minaj 's tour kicked of in style on Monday night (July 16, 2012) in Chicago. Reports have begun to surface of a kaleidoscopic performance from the rapper-turned-pop star-turned-rapper-again. And last night's show in Detroit (July 17, 2012) seems to have been equally adrenalin-fuelled, though one Detroit News' reporter was unimpressed with Ms Minaj's performance onstage. Nicki Minaj may have made her name for her brief but explosive guest slots on other people's tracks but she has swiftly evolved into an artist in her own right. At times, she seems to lack the power of quality control (see the immense tracklisting of her latest album 'Pink Friday, Roman Reloaded') but Jon Caramanica, writing for New York Times argues that this allows her to play to all of her strengths: "As a young rapper, Ms. Minaj was an assassin. As a star herself, she has become emotionally and tonally varied, sometimes an outright softy." This opening tour date saw Minaj

Review of Minaj's New Dance Song Nicki Minaj has once again strayed from her usual hardcore "run with the boys" style and produced another girly club hit. With a heavy dance beat like Starships, Whip It is clearly geared towards the female audience members. Although Minaj seems to be showcasing her ability to sound like an auto-tuned pop star, based off of the catchy chorus, she still includes her trademark grunge rap voice. Roman, as Nicki calls her monster alter ego, makes the occasional debut on the track which keeps this hit far less fluffy than the hit Starships. Whip It does give Minaj fans a chance to look into the hidden feminine side of the rap stars mind as she sings about falling for a stranger in the club. Buzzing about her new found attraction, Minaj flirtatiously sings out You got my world spinning/ My head goes round and around, round and around/Im really liking that way/ You whip it whip it. Granted if you are only a fan of Minajs harder tracks, or not eve

Colourful singer Nicki Minaj has announced she is coming to New Zealand. The Starships singer Tweeted about a New Zealand show this morning among other international dates after a Kiwi fan asked her about a local show. No official venue or ticket details have been confirmed. It took only a month for Minaj's first album Pink Friday to be certified platinum after its US release. Her follow-up Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded was released in April. The rapper/singer is known for her flamboyant outfits, ever-changing hairstyles and has a reputation for Diva-like behaviour. She recently told People magazine: "[My dressing room] looks like something out of Aladdin. Pink flowers and candles, white rugs, couches covered in pink satin." Last week at Scotland's T in the Park festival, she reportedly demanded the grass around her dressing room be cut shorter. Minaj has also been rumoured to become an American Idol judge next season.

Wenn Nicki Minaj nearly had a repeat of her '2011 nip slip' on The Tonight Show With Jay Leno over the weekend. The rapper, who known for her wearing very little clothing, appeared on the US talk show to perform new single 'Pound The Alarm'. Minaj certainly left an impression as she performed semi-topless in a nude ensemble but she was saved from any embarrassment by some carefully placed tit tape. No Madoona nipple flash for Minaj! Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj may have jetted back to the US but the rapper has left some very annoyed fans behind following her performance at last weekend's T In The Park. The 'Starships' star was 50 minutes late for her slot at the Scottish event and stayed for just half an hour. The reason for her lateness may have been down to a few gardening issues. According to The Sun , she complained the grass around her dressing room was too long and demanded it was cut. DIVA! Nicki Minaj Causes Chaos At London Signing Sylvester Stallone Blas

A few months ago at the nationally televised Grammy Awards, Nicki Minaj staged what looked like an exorcism while singing O Come All Ye Faithful. Then she levitated. There was nothing quite as outrageous (or bewildering) as that moment Monday during her 90-minute performance at the sold-out Chicago Theatre. Instead, the first two-thirds of the concert consisted largely of Minaj singing and rapping along to a backing track, accompanied by six dancers, a DJ and a hype man on a two-tiered stage that morphed from a church to an alley to a living room illuminated by a fireplace. It was an increasingly rote, mechanical run-through of some of the catchiest pop music of the last couple years. The real show mightve been in the seats. An hour before Minaj took the stage, her fans strutted in cheetah-print hot pants, fish nets, stack heels and wigs, and posed for photos. But two-thirds of the way into the concert, Minaj went off-script and reclaimed her turf. She started rapping like the performe

After her tremendous feat with Super Bass , Nicki Minaj proves she's not slowing down anytime soon with the release of her latest single " Starships ." The song lyrics aptly describes this singles smashing success as it continues to soar high through the charts --- Starships were meant to fly /Hands up and touch the sky / Can't stop 'cause we're so high /Let's do this one more time . It has broken through globally charting Top 20 at iTunes in over 40 countries and on its way to 5 million tracks sold. Her newest album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, has also sold nearly 1.5 million albums worldwide. Nicki Minajs 22-track second studio album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (Deluxe Edition), is not a reissue of the original Pink Friday album -- despite its confusing title. It's an all-new release, led by its official first single, the club-ready anthem "Starships." For this album, Nicki worked with a variety of producers such as Hit-Boy, Dr. Luke, E
