- [Narrator] On this episode of SIMTV's Making the Video,
Nicki takes you behind the scenes.
- Dancing is important.
You've gotta have good dancers in a video.
- [Director] Nicki, please!
- Uh!
If we do this, we do it right.

(upbeat music)
Nicki Minaj videos are really simple.
I take a story and then I break it apart
so that it makes no sense.
Dancing is important.
You've gotta have good dancers in a video.
(hip hop music)
Faster.
Pop, pop, faster, faster.
Pause.
No one can twerk like de Nicki Minaj,
but I'm a good teacher.
You have to be faster.
I'm liking your flavor but I can't taste you.
This is you.
Slow.
Now this is what I want.
Like that.
Sometimes directors don't always get my vision.
They don't share my passion.
What do you mean I can't have
a hundred elephants in the video?
- [Director] We can't afford it.
- 50 elephants.
- [Director] Nicki, we can't make
elephants twerk for the video!
- They wouldn't do it for the video.
- [Director] What?
- They do it for the Nicki Minaj.
Uh, I'm an elephant.
- [Director] Nicki, please!
- Uh!
This video needs to be so good.
Bitches will get pregnant with my sons when they watch.
If we do this, we do it right.

- I can't believe this.
This is a direct hit against me.
- I don't think that's what this is.
- That's exactly what this is.
She's calling me out.
- Cardi, calm down.
- Don't tell me what to do.
I'm in shock.
What should I do?
- Well--
- I'm gonna make a diss track.
- Don't do it.
- Nicki, I'm coming for you.
Get ready for my diss track, okurrr.
- [Nameless (Cardi's Friend)] Cardi, oh my god!
