Princess Nokia has premiered her new single “Diva” as well as the melodic track’s accompanying music video. Stream it below.
Shot on location in Puerto Rico, the visual is a loving tribute to the island’s indigenous Taíno culture as the rising star name-drops Beyoncé, Shakira, Lemonade, “Hips Don’t Lie,” Britney Spears, Christina Aguilera, and Aaliyah before rapping, “Yo, can’t stay in one place/ I was meant to be a star like a rocket in space/ I done went from internet to ahead of the race/ Feeling like I’m Ricky Bobby but I’m brown in the face/ I may be the new girl but I’ll never replace/ All the women here before me, making excellent taste/ I just learn from these women, do whatever it takes/ I’m the daughter of the witches that they burned at the stake.”
“Diva” is the rapper-singer’s latest release following March’s breezy and brash “No Effort” and 2021’s Yung Baby Tate-assisted “Boys Are From Mars.” Her last full-length efforts were 2020’s dueling Everything is Beautiful and Everything Sucks.
