Nicki Minaj Drops “Red Ruby Da Sleeze” Video

Sampling Lumidee’s “Never Leave You (Uh Oooh, Uh Oooh),” Nicki Minaj recently dropped her first solo single of 2023 “Red Ruby Da Sleeze.” She now shares a matching video for the single.

Throughout the video Nicki — or is that Ruby?… or both? — is joined by Basketball Wives LA cast member Brooke Bailey. The video followed the announcement that Minaj will release her fifth studio album, and follow-up to 2018’s Queen, sometime this year, which she says “is the best thing that will come out of 2023 and will raise the bar to new and unreachable heights.”
