Nicki Minaj [2] has finally broken her music hiatus with the release of her new single with Lil Baby, "Do We Have a Problem?" Minaj first teased their collaboration on Jan. 26, posting a photo of the two from their music video and tweeting [3], "DO WE HAVE A PROBLEM!? BABY X BARBIE PINK FRIDAY FEB. 4." On Jan. 31, the "Queen" rapper shared a teaser [4] of the nine-minute, film-like Benny Boom-directed video, which stars Cory Hardrict and Joseph Sikora.

In the visual, Minaj is a hit woman who teams up with Lil Baby to steal some rare artifacts. Over the song's chorus, Minaj raps, "Little bad foreign b*tch, word to Fivio / N*ggas know the vibe, that's worth a five, yo / Beef, we 'bout to resolve, yo / Pull up on a opp, do we have a problem?"

Minaj's new collaboration comes just after she teamed up with Jesy Nelson [5] for Nelson's debut solo single, "Boyz," and appeared on the remix of BIA's "Whole Lotta Money." [6] This is the first time Minaj has released a single of her own since last year, when her "Beam Me Up Scotty" mixtape finally hit major streaming [7]. The mixtape contained three new songs — "Fractions," "Seeing Green," and "Crocodile Teeth (Remix)" — with features from old labelmates Drake [8] and Lil Wayne [9].

Although she's kept a relatively low profile over the past year, Minaj has been in the headlines recently for a harassment lawsuit [10] filed against her by Jennifer Hough, her husband's alleged rape victim. Minaj's husband, Kenneth Petty, was previously convicted for attempting to rape Hough at knifepoint [11] in 1994. The harassment lawsuit alleges that Minaj "directly and indirectly intimidated, harassed and threatened [Hough] to recant her legitimate claim that Defendant Petty raped her." According to "People," [12] the case was dropped as of Jan. 12, but in a statement, Hough's lawyer said, "The case against Nicki was voluntarily dismissed. The case against Kenneth Petty is still ongoing. Stay tuned!"
