Nicki Minaj Releases Animated 'Anaconda' Lyric Video [WATCH]

The Barbz are patiently waiting for a visual for "Anaconda" and while it's in the works, Nicki Minaj released an animated lyric video for the Sir Mix-a-Lot-sampling track.

The animated clip features photos of the lady rhymer showing off her assets as well as snippets from Minaj's "Super Bass" video.

On Friday (Aug. 15), Minaj released the animated video and announced the official video will hit the net next week.

Check out Nicki Minaj's animated lyric video for "Anaconda" below.

As previously reported, Minaj's new single recently knocked Iggy Azalea's smash hit "Fancy" out of the No. 1 spot on the digital hip-hop/R&B chart for the first time in months.

And the success of the Pint Print single has been rewarding in more ways than one. Thanks to "Anaconda," the YMCMB femcee now has more Hot 100 singles than Michael Jackson.

Though "Slave to the Rhythm" and "Love Never Felt So Good" gave the King of Pop his 49th and 50th charting singles earlier this year, he was beat out by Minaj's "Anaconda," which became her 51st charting single when it debuted at No. 19.

In addition, Nicki Minaj is slated to perform the hit at this year's MTV Video Music Awards.

"The VMAs is a pretty big deal so people go all out for it," Minaj said in a statement. "I am very, very excited and looking forward to the performance."

Azalea, Rita Ora, Beyoncé, Maroon 5, Usher, 5 Seconds of Summer and Ariana Grande are also slated to perform this year.
