Nicki Minaj, Maluma & Myriam Link For World Cup Anthem
Nicki Minaj Kickin' World Cup Vibes⚽ FIFA Anthem with Maluma, Myriam Fares
Nicki Minaj has no time for any 2022 World Cup controversies ... the Barbz rapper has been enlisted for "Tukoh Taka" the official FIFA Fan Festival anthem!!!
The song is a collaboration between Nicki, Colombian singer Maluma and Lebanese singer Myriam Fares and delivers lyrics in 3 different languages -- English, Spanish and Arabic to cater to the global soccer audience.
"Tukoh Taka" translates to "click clack" in Yankee talk and the 3 megastars all display their presence in the video.
Edgar Esteves and Juan Felipe Zuleta direct the high-octane visual ... which splices between cut scenes of fútbol highlights, Nicki gyrating on a school bus and Maluma and Myriam Fares performing in a green-screened desert.
Waiting for your permission to load the Instagram Media.
World Cup action kicks off starting Sunday from Qatar ... but this year's event has many pundits raising eyebrows as festivities are underway.
Unlike Nicki, artists such as Dua Lipa and Shakira have refused to participate in Cup performances ... citing various alleged human rights infractions in the country.
FIFA also announced it's banning all alcohol sales in World Cup stadiums ahead of the opening games ... leaving many fans pissed.
Nicki's not on the World Cup artist island alone, however ... Sean Paul, J Balvin, Black Eyed Peas and more will also be performing throughout the competition.
