Nicki Minaj returns with new song, ‘Megatron’

 

Nicki Minaj has returned with a new song, ‘Megatron’, which is her first single since the release of her 2018 album, ‘Queen’.

 

The song centres on a reference to Transformers antagonist Megatron – a fitting follow-up to ‘Chun-Li’, another song where Minaj compares herself to a video game character. “They call me Megatron, shorty’s a mega con/It ain’t about the race either, it’s a marathon,” she raps on the second verse. 

The single arrived with a music video directed by Mike Ho. In the colourful visual, Minaj cosies up to her boyfriend Kenneth Petty, reclining with him in a sauna and a pool. She also sets fire to a green Lamborghini as a final flourish.
