Throwback when Nicki Minaj, Cardi B, Mr Bean and Rihanna together. đŽâ¤ď¸âđĽ
The “Fever Dream” Video
The video usually features a mashup of clipsâoften a high-energy transitionâwhere it looks like:
-
Nicki Minaj is rapping her verse from Motorsport.
-
Cardi B is strutting in a red outfit.
-
Rihanna is giving a “bad gal” look to the camera.
-
Mr. Bean (Rowan Atkinson) is suddenly spliced in, often dancing awkwardly or making a confused face in the middle of the “baddies.”
Why it’s a Classic
The reason this specific edit stays viral is the absurdity of the contrast. Seeing three of the most powerful women in music history paired with the silent comedy of a middle-aged British man in a tweed suit is the peak of “internet humor.”
The Reality Check: In real life, Nicki and Cardi have a notoriously complicated history (including the famous 2018 Harperâs Bazaar shoe-throwing incident), so a “link-up” with themâlet alone one featuring Mr. Beanâis strictly a digital fantasy.
Real-Life “Yellow” Connection
Funny enough, if youâre thinking about the color yellow (which we talked about earlier), there is a real-life connection here:
-
Rihannaâs most iconic yellow moment was her 2015 Met Gala “Omelette” dress.
-
Nicki Minaj wore a stunning yellow gown to the 2018 Met Gala (the same night she and Cardi actually did have a polite chat before their feud boiled over).
-
Cardi B went viral in a yellow Thierry Mugler set at the 2019 Grammys.
