I do think Nicki is a lesbian or at least bi-sexual rapping about ” I like your kitty-kat”, so yeah she like the ladies! As far as her liking ladies, does not bother me at all – she is just keeping it real!
As far as the song, great song!
As far as the video, I agree that the white girl that Nicki is pursuing in the video looks like she is scared of Nicki and Usher, she has a look on her face that looks like a deer caught in headlights *LOL*.
@Lulu
The sample is “Living for The City” from the Innervisions” album. Judah must have “Jungle Fever” on his mind.
Ok…Seriously, This Lesbo Ish Is Gettin’ Out Of Hand Now. It’s Just Not Cute, As A Matter Of Fact, It’s Disgusting & Most Importantly A Sin (No Matter What We Say, Or Try To Change It). I See How A Lot Of Ppl Are Trying To Normalize It, But It’s NOT Normal, Therefore We Should Not Be Promoting & Accepting This Kind Of Behavior. What’s Next? Seeing Guys On Guys In R&B/Hip-Hop Videos? It Seems Like It’s Coming To That Point. Ppl, Be Smart & Don’t Follow These Stupid & SLACK Ppl Like Lady Gaga, Beyonce, Nicki Minaj, Etc. This Kinda Thing Used To Be Mainly In The White Community, But I See It’s Making A FULL Transition Into The Black Community. Please, STOP THE MADNESS!
I loved the VID !!!!!!!!!!! Wow from the comments its nice to see HOMOPHOBIA has not left the “Urban” community yet *Giggles*…….
@ 52, In Awe…I So Agree With U Girl! We Need To Wake Up & Realize That We Need God…More Than Ever!
Nicki looking and sounding her usual mental patient self…she autistic?? simple trick…
Ciara is the single most beautiful girl in the video. Her vibrance shows off so well in person and on screen.
Usher clearly picked the wrong main video girl cause Ciara def. shoulda been it.
the song is catch as hell but im not into the whole lesbo thing. Nicki Minaj is a straight homosexual that is not even hiding it. Im tired of the whole sex in ya face that’s going on in urban music right now. That’s why i listen to guys like michael buble and kings of leon. they make feel good music.
Matter of face im kinda tired of the booty models on twitter too. Every other profile is some chicks butt in your face with a thong and her hands on her breasts.. Damn can we get some new poses please…. I love sex and women as much as anyone but damn it’s a lil too much now…
It’s so sad that this premiered on 106&Park. They know this is mostly a teen show. Just another reason for another rise in teen pregnancy and teen gayness.
WHACK!
Trashy!
Hey Judah….where can I find you on youtube?
It also has a cameo from JAMIE FOXX … give the dude his credit lol…you can see him better in the FULL VERSION on ushers website.
Wow…just Wow
usher buzz me in everybody loves raymond! i love nicki
i admit it… *sigh* i’m starting to like Nicki Minaj. *hangs head*
video wise… flat. messy. deja vu. this album is looking sub-par already from the material he’s putting out. progression is key, people. progression.
I LOVE NICKI. SHE KILLED HER PART. BUT NOT FEELING THIS SONG SO MUCH.
I just don’t get it!
A) The video fails PERIOD! The chor-e-o was wack in this video. Usher needs to come up with somethin else now. He obviously can’t dance like he used to.
B) I was also thinking the sme thing #35 WORDBLAZE. I think Stevie probably just heard the track without the lyrics or just heard Usher’s name and was like go a head and use it.. (Had to)
C) What is up with the lack of originality these days? I thought people get even more creative during hard times because they don’t have as much to spend. Videos nowadays look so….CHEAP. Like everyone was just hangin out and someone pulled out their camera phone and hit record while everyone improved. I guess thats why when someone thats ‘different’ comes out they blow up and become the next best thing (ie Lady Gaga)
liked the video. lol i thought ciara would have a bigger part. looking for ciara in this video was like looking for Elmo. liked nicki’s verse
its about time usher came out with something hot!
everybody expectin more from ciara??? not her song its call a cameo GET OVER IT and WTF was usher thinkin tryna dance like chris brown 2wards the end?? he looked uncomfortable leave it to omarion and chris brown please
I don’t dislike Usher, but I don’t see a strong significance with what he does anymore. It feels like some artists just give up and lose a great deal of the passion they used to have. It’s overly typical of this video to have a guest spot from a new artist of the moment and to try and copy the current trend of outward lesbianism. The dancing at the end of the video is what it should’ve been throughout; just simple fun without all the gimmicks.
These stupid songs playing on the weak minded females desperate for attention will make it so easy for me this summer lol. Can we say 3some game on deck this summer? Yerrrp!
that looks like the set of the hostel.

LMMAO at this ghetto a** piece of sh** of a video! The only people who like this video and song are ghetto, nasty, hoodrats. Usher’s music is so lame! The beat is pretty hot, but the lyrics are so nasty and seems like a song that promotes getting HIV/AIDS! I am sick and tired of these degrading, sexual songs that these men put and women love to support them. Half naked in videos, grinding on guys and girls… do women have any class now-a-days. About Nicki’s part, she’s a mess and her lyrics never really make any sense, but even though I don’t care for the song, I actually love hearing some of her verse because she’s a funny character. Naming Santa’s reindeers? LOL. Oh and BTW, she was naming reindeers in the song because they are known to be ridden and controlled by Santa, so she’s saying that all of the females she’s getting are controlled by her.
Like the song and video…I just didn’t like the use of the White girl….that seemed random…there are plenty of black women that could have been used. LOVE nicki though, she’s hilarious.
ALL I HAVE TO SAY: Usher is back!
No but seriously 3:47 that white girl is like “why? is this chick screaming in my face”
my fault i meant at 2:35
I could care one way or another about Usher. He let a good woman(ex wife) get away because he listened to some of you same haters who r now talking about his music. I think Usher did what the public wanted him to do instead of listening to his own heart. I just heard on the radio other day the dj talking about he is a have been,lol. Now some of you skankmongers are talking about white girl in video. Why complain now? I hope he ends up with a white woman. He had a beautiful sistah and so many of you complained about that. I just don’t understand negroes……………they are neva happy with anything or anyone. Main thang…..ya not happy within yourself.
This is not the FULL video that’s why some of you are wonderin why the girl looks scared or disintrested.It appears she was on an elevator with Nicki and the other chicks then it stopped.Nicki & Co. get off while she thought she was going somewhere else but ends up getting stuck.The elevator reopens where Nicki & Co. left off.The video storyline is Usher runs some kind of underground dungeon/club & Nicki & Co. recruits new females to have sex with him.There is nothing subtle about the video or lyrics it is what it is. The overall tone is predatory & kind of sinister.
LMAO, yeah the reindeer part was not my favorite
part, but nevertheless it sounds better than some
of the rest of the silly ish they play on the radio…
Have you been listening to some
of these other rappers? Jay-z’s a devil worshiper,
so who else is there these days?
glad to see CIARA ! hope shes dropping a new album soon ! the video was OK , nothing special , and Nicki must like the Bi-sexual rumors because she sure re-assures that in her verse ! whether acting the part or NOT it still strikes me as kinda fishy ! hmm .
Don’t like the asong but nice video. I peeped Jamie. lol I knew it was him I saw.
Most of Usher’s videos all look the same to me. This video reminds me of “Yeah” and “Love in the Club” dark, dancing, women, drinks, nightclub, etc.
Made some films students and a local university can help him come with some unique themes. I wish Nicki Minaj and Gucci Man will go sit the FCUK down!!
The song was garbage
and the video was whack!!!!!!!
Nicki Minaj is just a fake white barbie gimmick and i give her a couples of months until we wont hear from her again.
She was hot before she was sign to young money and now she’s horrible.They don’t know what to do with her, its like she running around like a puppet
Im surprise Amber Rose is not this video lol
I loved this song from the very first time i heard it. Sooooo disappointed with this video the main girl looks so “average” think they should’ve picked a more “exotic” looking female. And more cameos would’ve been nice also. *DEAD* @ KHINJE talking about nicki’s verse randomly calling out all the reindeer.

These stupid songs playing on the weak minded females desperate for attention will make it so easy for me this summer lol. Can we say 3some game on deck this summer? Yerrrp!”
….and this is exactly what I got from the song. Black men who are leading attention-starving black women into 1) excepting another chick to join in the act and 2) particularly with a non-black woman. The sad part is Mike is telling the truth, there are so many desperate young and old black women that will sacrafice there soul to get a black man’s attention.
Just found a quick quote about this song/video from Usher himself.
“I mean, I wrote about it,” Usher told MTV when asked if he gets female friends to scout and bring him other females to engage in group ‘activity’. “It happens in this day and time. Those are the best chicks to be friends with, honestly.”
Lets see if he ever says this on tv with like Oprah or the Today show.
if it aint LIL KIM or FOXY BROWN or MISSY ELLIOT QUITE FRANKLY WE DONT CARE…………….FEMALE MC S ARE DEAD…………….FALLLLL BACK NICKI DEVILLE CRUELLA………..WIT YO NASTY BUTTTTT EWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWWW
*DEEP sigh* Where to begin. When I first heard this song in my car a while back I thought it was going to be a definite addition to my “That’s My Sh**” playlist, but as soon as people started talking I started getting a headache. Not a another “if you reallly love me you’d…for me” song for greedy a** people (Every Girl comes to mind too). I listened to the song a few times to hear the lyrics but never for enjoyment. Now I see the video (here and on his website) and I’m not at all surprised at the lack of creativity let alone relation to the lyrics in the song.
Problems with the video: 1)The whole time he’s talking about his chick going to get some chick and look at them over there at the bar and hand in pants like its raining horny lesbians but there was BARELY any girl-on-girl contact aside from Nicki and the white chick. It was In the Club in another club.Yeah…real 2010 fresh.
2)Speaking of the SOOO out-of-place model white chick, she had to have been a last minute fill-in which shows how much they care about the viewer because they didn’t even bother to think of Nicki’s booty lyrics for 2 secs and at least use a black chick. Wasn’t like they weren’t there.
3)Nicki.*head down* I like her style of rapping, but just like every other recent female rapper (lol.yeah…who?) her lyrics are getting lamer with each song she features in and make me wanna flip the “next” page. Gay or not all I care about is lyrics so I’m ready for her album to see if she’s trash or gold on her own. But like someone said before, I’m not singing lesbian lyrics either.
4)The dancing…..*yawn* LAME! Next MJ my a**.
5)Split second cameos……FOR WHAT??? Didn’t even see Jamie Foxx (I blinked) until I read the comments.
There’s some other dumb sh** on here I could talk about but I got better things to do with my baby so Imma rap it up. The video and song was a waste of perfectly good paper that could have been put to good use in Haiti or Chile. Usher is a mindless puppet for better (Confessions) and in this case WORSE. And until he does an album that shows he cares about his art I’ll continue to copy the songs I like (Daddy’s Home) from a homie FOR FREE cause I don’t care.
Another one track minded song from a black artist centered around sex, va jay jay, and male genitals. Most every song have the same talentless themes. Prove me wrong!
So true #91! I hope he ends up with a white woman too. Black on black female jealousy is the main reason for interracial dating/marriage. We put down each others looks and bodies so bad it deters anyone from finding us attractive anymore. We have created such a self deprecating attitude toward black women as a whole and it wont change anytime soon until we stop the bitter, wicked jealousy.
Around this time next year, Usher will be announcing that he is gay. All this rappers are gay. That has to be the explaination for depicting women as sex slaves. This video suggests prostituition, lesban”ism” and child molestation.
This is suppose to be the year 2010 but it feels more like 1910. What F is going on? People can’t possible be this dumbed down to actually like this crap-so much that they would let the youth listen to it. These rappers are deperately trying to hid the fact that they hate women. Me and my husband have a 6 month old son and I can’t even listen to hio hop without feeling “dirty”. I can’t let my son who is 6 months even listen to this “gaga” garbage. My ipod stay on deck and I listen to Bob Marley and other culture music. Beres Hammond, Garnett Silk, Jah Cure. That is real music because it uplifts your spirits and is in line with God.
Lady Gaga singing about “I want your disease…I want your ugly… I want your revenge”, Usher “Put your hands in my pants” Ludacris My chick bad” this is no good. What is the Newton’s law? What goes up must come down.
About time Ricky Martin’s gay ass came out…Maybe the rest with follow. Living on the downlow- nasty.
Nicki is a surragate along with the others. They are all puppets of Satan. (Burn)
love this song…the beat is dope…
I will not buy anymore of your albums for now on. I have just seen the new music video called “Lil Freak”; and the video was ridamndiculous!!! The lyrics as well as the music video are sexist, why is it that Usher uses lyrics explaining of a woman pimping another woman so they can all three can have sex together?! F**k you Usher! I had high hopes of you changing your recent image to what you use to be like which would have evolved (in my view) into grown and sexy. I did not purchased Usher’s last album and I will not purchase any more, you have lost a supporter Usher.
*I will still listen to your past songs, the ones I ENJOY. My favorite song by Usher is “Can You Help Me”.
That dirty lesbian who.re Nicki Minaj can not rap. What was her purpose? She looks insane.
Was Ciara one of the backup dancers? Finally, she got the point. She does not have what it takes to be a solo artist.
Usher is becoming more and more feminine by the day.
Wack video!
I FREAKIN LOVE USHER……
