New Music: Nicki Minaj Drops “B.E.D” and “Rich Sex”

Nicki Minaj just released “B.E.D” (featuring Ariana Grande), four days after the release of “Rich Sex” (featuring Lil Wayne). Both songs are going to be on Queen, which is set for an August 10 release date. At this point, it feels like Nicki is throwing everything against the wall to see what sticks, and while it is sad to watch, I totally understand. The good news is that she has finally put out songs that are undeniably dope; “Chun Li” and “Barbie Tingz” — the latter of which won’t be included on the Queen tracklist — were decent songs in their own respective rights, but in a Cardi B world, you have to come harder.

“B.E.D,” Nicki’s fourth collaboration with Ariana Grande, is standard fare as far as Minaj-Grande collaborations go (i.e. mid-tempo, sex theme, etc.). Ariana sings about having a “bed with your name on it” and Nicki opens the song with a line about “waiting for you on some thousand-dollar sheets.” The song is about as radio-friendly as radio-friendly gets, and I’m not mad. Check it out below.



“Rich Sex,” as the title indicates, is also about sex, but is way gullier than “B.E.D.” Nicki raps, “If you let that broke nigga fuck, we telling!” on the chorus — women are going to LOVE that one — while Weezy declares, “Pussy smell like money when I’m down there, that some Nic shit.” The song is full of quotables. Towards the end, Nicki laughs in a way that would remind you of “Itty Bitty Piggy.” Oh the nostalgia. Click play.
