Nicki Minaj (or is that Dee Snider?) has unveiled the flesh-revealing new flick for “Pound the Alarm.”

The carnival-inflected clip – which has already clocked over one million views on YouTube – sees Minaj and several female dancers don barely-there feathered outfits while cutting all sorts of sexy shapes in Port of Spain, Trinidad – Minaj’s homeland.

“Pound the Alarm” is the fourth single to be lifted from Minaj’s second album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded.

Meanwhile, Minaj’s diva antics have got her in trouble again this weekend!

A Texas nightclub owner has accused the Harajuku Barbie of bailing on a $30,000 deal to appear at his venue after her concert at the Verizon Theatre in Dallas on Sunday (July 29).

Minaj took to Twitter to tell her fans the aftershow would not be happening, adding:

However, the owner of Zouk nightclub, Matt Cislo, has since said Minaj snubbed the show, despite being paid in full:

“We looked at their promoter’s contracts, the wire transfer, we had seen everything; that’s why we went through with the show. From my understanding, she was outside, she had shown up, her security had done a walkthrough and she just decided not to come in. As soon as everyone found out she wasn’t showing up on Twitter they were messaging us, text message, emails, you know, ‘Why are you putting on a fake show?’ Just gives us a bad rep.”

Dear oh dear. Whatever will happen next in World Minaj? Stay tuned to LyricStatus to find out!
