Who is Nicki Minaj? She’s the most buzzed-about music star since Lady Gaga, and she hasn’t even released an album yet! She’s worked with Usher, Mariah Carey and Diddy — and now we’re on the set of the rapper/R&B star’s new music video, “Right Thru Me”!

“The concept of the video is boy-and-girl relationship drama, you know, all of the intimate stuff as well as the fighting as well as the self-reflecting type stuff,” says Nicki. “It’s basically just a love story told from the perspective of a very hard girl who doesn’t want to give in but she has to.”

Nicki’s much-buzzed-about new album, Pink Friday, drops November 23.
