You may remember rapper Nicki Minaj’s 'I am the Female Weezy' video, which was a spoof of a Public Service Announcement video that her Young Money boss, Lil Wayne, had previously released, and now the 'Y U Mad' video depicts where the character came from.
The song begins with Minaj singing “I am the female Weezy/This sh*t is easy” and features the rapper, who now has another personality to add to her list of alter egos (so far the world has also met Barbie, Martha and my personal favorite, Roman Zolanski), sporting blonde dreadlocks and baggy pants.
The Y U Mad video by Birdman featuring Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne is sure to be a hit among fans of the rappers’ label, Young Money. Watch it for yourself and see if Nicki does Weezy justice.
