PUBLISHED AUG 13, 2018

On Friday, Nicki Minaj released her much-anticipated fourth studio album 'Queen' after previously delaying the album release not once, but twice. Now, the Trinidadian-American rapper has dropped a fiery new music video for the album opener 'Ganja Burn'. 

The six-minute clip opens with a prologue that speaks of a "generous Queen" in a "world unknown" who is betrayed by her close confidantes in a Julius Caesar-like fashion. The story then goes on to talk about the Queen exacting her revenge to teach her betrayers a lesson. “Kill everything in sight,” she declares to her loyal army, which is resurrected from the sands. And they promptly obey in epic, fiery fashion, as we see Minaj writhing around in the cinematic sprawl of a desert that forms the setting for the music video.
