ON THE SET: Nicki Minaj In Full Carnival Costume For “Pound The Alarm” Video

Check out these Twitter pics of Nicki Minaj on the set of her “Pound The Alarm” video which she is currently shooting in her native Trinidad.

She was joined on set by Trini soca powerhouses Machel Montano (above) and Bunji Garlin (below), the latter of whom tweeted: @BUNJIGARLIN Bunji on sett with @NICKIMINAJ !! Madarrifficc … trini reppin large!!

Nicki hit him back with the following: Bless up yaself Bunji!!!

Of course Trinidad being the mecca of carnival, fans were encouraged to don thier costumes and be part of the production. Here are some ladies on set.

Nicki remarked on the weather and the beauty of Trinidad’s women tweeting:

The heat in Trinidad is on another level. O-o The girls in the vid are drop dead gorgeous & I’m not just saying it cuz I’m from here! :p

The “Pound The Alarm” video will be Nicki’s fourth off her Pink Friday Roman Reloaded album, and the second directed by Benny Boom, who also shot “Right By My Side” featuring Chris Brown. London Alley Ent. will produce the video.

So great to see Nicki repping for TnT. She left when she was five but it is quite obvious she was never far from home or her culture. #ratings!!!!
