{blackbabes} Nicki Minaj Grabs a Flamethrower in New Video For "The Boys" (Take Cover, Mariah Carey!)

Nicki Minaj may have gotten body rocked by little Justin Bieber in his "Beauty and a Beat" music video, but her just-released candy coated clip for "The Boys" (costarring Cassie) is actually all about the ladies.

The Young Money rapper throws everything and the kitchen sink at her new video (Flying hairdryers! Car crashes! Exercise balls!) and even mans a flamethrower. One thing she doesn't pack into the packed-to-the-gills video is any shade directed at Mariah Carey.

We're assuming Nicki is saving any lethal lyrics she may spit her fellow American Idol judge's way for a later date, when it won't cause as much media chaos (or any tattle-tale phone calls to Barbara Walters). We'd hate for Mariah to have to beef up her already-beefed up security team...again.

What you can count on for any Nicki video (this one included) is that she delivers as many colorful wigs as, uh, colorful facial expressions.
