The U.K. baddie and the Barbie once again prove to be a formidable duo teaming for the new song named “Boyz.” Sampling Diddy’s 2001 anthem “Bad Boy for Life.” The nostalgia doesn’t stop there they’ve also remade the music video, complete with a cameo from the Bad Boy icon himself.

Jesy Nelson, the British singer best known for her tenure as a member of Little Mix, is now stepping into a solo career with some controversy on social media following the release of “Boyz” as she has been accused of blackfishing.

The video itself does a great job paying homage to the song that was sampled, and even recreating icon scenes from the “Bad Boy for Life.” Nicki shouts out Puff Daddy & The Family in her verse. “Bad bitches want a Bad Boy / Word to Biggie, Diddy, and Ma$e,” she raps. “Whoa like Rob, won’t find a prettier face / He gon’ keep my VVS’s dancin’ like Total / So I could just Shyne while he shoot up the place.”
