Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice have once again linked up, this time for the song “Barbie World,” their much-anticipated collaboration taken from the Barbie soundtrack.
The video finds the pair getting all pretty in pink, riding around town together as they trade bars about how they both are just like the popular toy doll.

“And I’m bad like the Barbie/ I’m a doll but I still wanna party, Pink ‘Vette like I’m ready to bend/ I’m a 10, so I pull in a Ken/ Jazzie, Stacie, Nicki/ All of the Barbies is pretty/ All of the Barbies is bad It girls, and we ain’t playin’ tag,” they rap.
The track, which includes a sample of Aqua’s 1997 hit “Barbie Girl,” was first teased at the end of the original Barbie trailer, and has kept fans on the look out ever since. Check out the song’s video below.
This isn’t the first time the duo has gone totally pink together, they previously joined forces for a remix of Spice’s track “Princess Diana,” and the accompanying video saw them both donning an entirely pink wardrobe as they got up close and personal with one another in the bedroom.
Prior to its arrival, the “Barbie World” remix experienced a bit of drama last week when Compton rapper JasonMartin (formerly known as Problem) took to social media to accuse the Pinkprint rapper of omitting his writing credit on the track.
He claimed to be a writer on a track back when it originally belonged to Saweetie, and that his credit has since been removed.
“Y’all gon’ give me what I deserve,” Martin said on Instagram Live. “Now, if Saweetie don’t wanna trip, that’s on her … But we crafted a record that was sent over to Nicki to hop on to submit to the Barbie soundtrack.
“She said she was gonna do it … Then all of a sudden, a new version was created. Yes, it’s a sample, you can do what you want. But n-gga, you can’t hear one thing, say you’re gonna do this, then go do your version. It ain’t happening like that.”

He added: “Anybody that’s in this business knows that that’s not how this works.”
The Barbie film, directed by Greta Gerwig, stars Margot Robbie, Ryan Gosling, Will Ferrell, Kate McKinnon, Issa Rae, Simu Liu, Michael Cera, and more. The film’s official soundtrack drops on July 21, the same day as the movie’s U.S. theatrical release.
