Young Money's Nicki Minaj has something more to brag about other than her rapping ability and stunning body as the newly released "Anaconda" music video has become video site Vevo's top clip.
According to reports, nearly 20 million clicks in 24 hours has put Nicki in another galaxy.
Nicki Minaj’s much-discussed “Anaconda” video smashed Vevo’s record for the most views in 24 hours, racking up 19.6 million clicks in the first day of its release. The explicit clip is still going strong, having pulled in more than 37 million views since it was unleashed Tuesday. “Anaconda” tops previous record-holder Miley Cyrus, whose “Wrecking Ball” clip garnered 19.3 million views over 24 hours, beating previous champs One Direction, whose “Best Song Ever” amassed 12.3 million views over the same period.

Cash Money CEO Birdman applauded his YMCMB protégé’s latest Pink Print visual earlier this week.
“@nickiminaj video a murder show lil sis yu a beast #richgang #ymcmb #pg http://instagram.com/p/r7yjMmCZ6a/,” Birdman tweeted August 20. (Birdman’s Twitter)
Rap veteran Sir Mix-A-Lot confessed to watching Nicki’s must-see clip nearly 40 times.
“Ok after watching @NICKIMINAJ Anaconda 37times I only have one word to sum up my feelings. DAMNNNNN!!!!!! #AnacondaVideoOnVevo” (Sir Mix-A-Lot’s Twitter)
Nicki treated her fans to the not safe for work visual late Tuesday (August 19) night.
Over the course of the nearly five-minute video (which samples Sir Mix-A-Lot’s Baby Got Back), Minaj runs through a parade of not-so-subtle imagery: She eats bananas, sprays whipped cream on her chest, plays bongos on a backup dancer’s behind, and stands by as piña coladas slowly drip down coconuts. And then, of course, there’s twerking: in a jungle, a workout room, a pool, a white void – all culminating in a dimly-lit lap dance on a very satisfied-looking Drake. (USA Today)
