Nicki Minaj, multi-tasking nip-slipper, has created an epic sixteen minute film devoted to her breakup—and her new album. It's emotional: There are tears, head-on-collisions, and so many servings of face. The premise strings together three of The Pinkprint's songs—'The Crying Game,' 'I Lied,' and 'Grand Piano' into a lyrical love triangle that ends with Nicki in a red mesh dress. If you've ever written an overly emotional letter to an ex, this will make you feel better about yourself. Since sixteen minutes is basically an eternity, here are the main points:
When someone breaks your heart, pretend like you're in a car commercial. And always wear your seat belt.
Small band-aids do not mend relationships.
Revenge is best served in a red mesh dress.
