Nicki, Ariana, and Jessie J dance on a skyscraper in 'Bang Bang' video

Bang Bang

Right after Nicki Minaj, Jessie J, and Ariana Grande opened Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards with a performance of “Bang Bang,” MTV premiered the trio’s wardrobe malfunction-free video for the song online.

The video begins with men ogling at Jessie J as she exits a car, but she pays it no mind and enlists female onlookers to join her in showing off their Cadillac-like booties. Meanwhile, Grande twirls around in a Miami-chic bedroom, applies makeup, and belts into a megaphone—A-plus on the multitasking, Grande.

Minaj, who apparently was not invited to Jessie J’s street party or Grande’s sleepover, later emerges from a helicopter to deliver her verse on a roof where Jessie J and Grande join her to finish out the song while other helipad-goers break-dance around them. Other highlights include an ice cream vendor getting his groove on and Grande winking directly into the camera.

Jessie J’s album featuring “Bang Bang” arrives later this year.
