Nicki Minaj and Ariana Grande team up for beach-themed music video 'Bed'

Nicki Minaj has dropped the video for her latest single "Bed" - with a little help from frequent collaborator Ariana Grande

With a clearly headlined "summer jam" of a track, the beach-based video even sees Minaj briefly transformed into a mermaid, as she poses amongst the waves and amongst the sheets. 

She's joined here by Grande, with the duo having a fairly long history of working together: after both appearing on Jessie J's "Bang Bang", Ariana then went on to guest on Minaj's "Get On Your Knees", Minaj appeared on Grande's "Side to Side", then again on the pop star's latest track, "The Light is Coming".

However, this doesn't appear to be the only edit of the video in existence. On Twitter, Minaj noted: "One more thing; there r 2 #BedVideo edits, as there were 2 directors involved."


"You’ll see the first today. also, it won’t be on vevo for like another 24 hours. You’ll see it on YouTube until then. I’ll prob release the other edit in a week. Idk.”

"Bed" is set to feature on Minaj's fourth studio album Queen, set to drop on 10 August. It's the third single released, after "Rich Sex" (featuring Lil Wayne) and "Chun-Li".
