Nicki Minaj must be helping Cassie tie her shoe, right? Right.

We already knew Nicki Minaj and Cassie's dude-themed collabo "The Boys" was gonna be a doozy, but we had no clue just how doozy-ish it would be. And yes, we just added an "ish" to the word "doozy" and we're owning it. Thanks.

Just last week, Nicki posted some behind-the-scenes footage from her Cassie-assisted "The Boys" video, and as you might imagine, it's basically an explosion of neon with some fierce rapping and super-stunning outfits. In other words, it's perfect! From what we can tell, the video consists mainly of Nicki strolling down the streets of L.A. surrounded by men in hot-pink suits whose sole purpose is to hold umbrellas over her. #TheLife.

As if the behind-the-scenes video wasn't enough, last night Nicki treated her Barbz to even more "The Boys" sneak-peek action when she tweeted a still from the video shoot. Yeahhhh, so we're, ahem, not too sure what’s going on in the image, but we imagine Cassie’s shoe became untied, so Nicki’s just being a good friend and bending down to help her! Or perhaps Cassie got a new belly-button ring and Nicki is making sure it's not infected? (Ew, gross, but we're trying here.) You know what? It's gotta be the shoe thing. Definitely.

"The Boys" is slated to appear as the first single off Nicki's Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded – The Re-Up, due out Nov. 19.
