Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice’s highly anticipated new single for the upcoming Barbie movie is here.
“Barbie World” arrived Friday (June 23) and samples Aqua’s iconic 1997 pop hit “Barbie Girl.” The song is featured on the Barbie soundtrack and movie set to hit theaters on July 21.
In the visual, the duo trade bars amid the sugary pink Barbie world and life-sized dollhouse. They later cruise through cotton candy-colored clouds on monogrammed Barbie jet skis. Both rappers even get their own Barbie dolls, which are featured in the intro.
“And I’m bad like the Barbie (Barbie),” the duo raps. “I’m a doll but I still wanna party (Party)/Pink ‘Vette like I’m ready to bend (Bend)/I’m a 10, so I pull in a Ken (Like).”
The collab is the fourth single from Barbie the Album. “Barbie World” follows Dua Lipa’s “Dance the Night,” Karol G’s “Watati” and PinkPantheress’ “Angel.”
Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice previously teamed up on the remix to “Princess Diana.” They made history, debuting at No. 1 on Billboard’s Hot Rap Songs chart, the first chart-topper by two co-billed women in the list’s 34-year history.
In January, Ice Spice named Nicki Minaj as a major influence on her artistry.
“When I saw Nicki, I was so mesmerized,” the Bronx native told XXL. “She’s the first female rapper that I [saw]. And ever since then, I was kinda set on what I wanted to be.”
