Young Money's Nicki Minaj really came through for French Montana's new "Freaks" visual, taking her top off and shaking her money maker in the clip's music video premiere today (March 7).
While it is French’s anthem, Nicki clearly outshines the Bad Boy artist with her physique.
Nicki Minaj is going all OUT-outdoing every artist’s ‘almost naked’ music videos. The Jamaica-Queens native takes it way back to her Trinidadian roots in new video “Freaks” with rapper French Montana. If you thought Nicki’s behind-the-scenes video (where’s she’s clearly showing her pasties/new boob-job) was a jaw-dropper, check out the curvy YMCMB star bust a whine on her king chair.

Around mid-February, behind the scenes footage from the video popped up.
The “Freaks” came out on set of French Montana’s video for his new single featuring Nicki Minaj. The Bad Boy rapper and Young Money diva went in front of the lens with director Eif Rivera (“Ocho Cinco”) in L.A. on Monday. The clip called for some voluptuous ladies, who worked the floor while twerking to the dancehall-infused record off French’s upcoming debut Excuse My French, due May 21. The Ciroc was flowing as French rocked furs and designer threads by Alexander McQueen, while his co-star Nicki wore curly blonde hair in her scenes. The song’s producer, Rico Love, also stopped by to make a cameo. (Rap-Up)
Recently, Montana cited Minaj’s position in the rap game for influencing his decision to reserve a spot for her on “Freaks.”
French said it was a no-brainer to get Nicki on the track, since he was doing it for New York. “I just felt like she was one of the hottest female artists to come out of New York in a while, and I felt the same about me,” he explained on Wednesday’s episode of “RapFix Live.” “So I felt it was a record that’s more for the city — [you] see two people that’s doing real good put a record together.” French said it was a no-brainer to get Nicki on the track, since he was doing it for New York. “I just felt like she was one of the hottest female artists to come out of New York in a while, and I felt the same about me,” he explained on Wednesday’s episode of “RapFix Live.” “So I felt it was a record that’s more for the city — [you] see two people that’s doing real good put a record together.” (MTV)
In January, the Bad Boy rapper hyped up his song’s destined chart-topping potential.
“It will drop next week,” Montana promised in an interview. “We kind of redid the Lil Vicious and Doug E. Fresh song, ‘Freaks,’ and it will be Top 40 [charts] number one. We just working. Look out for Excuse My French, dropping April 16th. We just here, man, you know. French Montana, hottest in the street. [How’s Nicki’s verse?] Wheeew. You gotta hear it, you know, with the song. It’s called ‘Freaks,’ so you know what she’s talking about. I ain’t telling you, I’ll let her tell you on the record.” (Rap-Up TV)
