MTV was on hand at the video shoot for Will.I.Am & Nicki Minaj’s collabo “Check It Out”. This one will be included on  Pink Friday Nov. 23rd. If you remember, she  first performed this record at this year’s MTV VMA Pre-Show.

“We’re doing an ode almost to Japanese anime,” Minaj told MTV News about the highly stylized animation style while on the Los Angeles set of the video. “I’m obviously a big fan, and I’ve joined forces with the only boy that I know that’s able to capture that culture.”
