Nicki Minaj spent her 4th of July back home in Trinidad shooting the video for “Pound the Alarm,” the new single off her sophomore album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded. The Young Money diva, who announced Tyga as one of the supporting acts for her European arena tour in the fall, received a hero’s welcome as she paraded through the streets on a float. The blonde bombshell showed off her curves in a red bikini and feathery costume in the carnival-themed clip.

“Just wrapped an amazing video on an amazing island. #Trinidad #poundthealarm,” tweeted Nicki. “The heat in Trinidad is on another level. O-o The girls in the vid are drop dead gorgeous & I’m not just saying it cuz I’m from here!”
