Thanks in part to the success of the sultry, sleazy first single and video "Bad," (featuring Tiara Thomas), which has accrued over 24 million views on YouTube, The Gifted debuted at number one on the Billboard album chart. It was a long shoot, but the Juice has a lot of energy so I'm not mad at that." ![]() But to be honest, I'm not a big video person. She cracks me up and we got a great relationship. She's like that girl that knows she's super-bad and she can get away with a lot of s***. "I’ve been working with Juicy the whole time, but this is my first record with Nicki," he said. Plus, he had Minaj and Juicy J to keep him entertained. That was one of the biggest go-go records to ever leave D.C."Īlthough Wale generally dislikes shooting videos, the frivolous spirit of "Clappers" was less tiresome than most.
