Nicki Minaj throws a twerk party in new ‘Megatron’ video

It is still unclear whether 'Megatron' is a standalone single or if it announces Minaj's fifth studio album.

The single marks the rapper’s first solo music since she released her fourth studio album, “Queen”, in 2018.

Nicki Minaj has finally unveiled her latest project, “Megatron,” which is produced by Andrew “POP” Wansel and Nova Wav.

The accompanying music video, which is directed by Mike Ho, is reminiscent of her 2014 viral video for “Anaconda.”

It shows the rapper moving from scene to scene, partying at a club and dancing in front of a green Lamborghini that she later sets on fire. Things heat up even more when she goes to a sauna with current boyfriend Kenneth Petty.

“They call me Megatron, just did a telethon/ He got Margiela’s on, and I get my jealous on,” Minaj raps in the opening verse, alluding to the main antagonist of the “Transformers” series.

Nicki Minaj began teasing her return single “Megatron” this week, sharing a series of neon-colored photos and video clips on social media.

The rapper also announced that a new episode of her “Queen Radio” show would premiere on June 21 via Apple Music.

It is still unclear whether “Megatron” is a standalone single or if it announces Minaj’s fifth studio album, which would follow her 2018 “Queen.”
