The true Barbie — Nicki Minaj — has come to join the team of Barbie The Album.
With the help of Ice Spice, the duo paired with the original creators of “Barbie Girl,” Aqua, to breathe fresh life into the song with “Barbie World.”
In the accompanying music video, Minaj and Spice transform into real-life Barbies, flying through pink clouds and driving in pink cars.
The song is all about uplifting their fellow Barbies. In the upbeat chorus, Minaj and Spice rap:
All of the Barbies is pretty (Damn)
All of the Barbies is bad
It girls (It girls) and we ain’t playin’ tag (Grrah)
