When 50 Cent isn’t writing Facebook manifestos about the importance of helping those in need by supporting his energy drink, he’s releasing parody videos in promotion of his energy drink. Fiddy paired up with Floyd Mayweather to film their own mini version of The Hangover, complete with a cameo from one of the movie’s stars, Mike Tyson. In the clip, the boys drink too much of 50’s Street King drink, and end up having one wild night on the town. This is just Part 1, so consider that either a promise or a threat for additional installments of this saga.

Dev’s been turning out the lights on more than one rapper lately. After releasing a version of her dimly-it club banger featuring Flo Rida, now she’s got 50 Cent dancing “In The Dark,” too, in this latest version of the Cataracts-produced tune. With her debut LP The Night The Sun Came Up dropping in just about a month, the “Perfect Match” songbird is definitely poised to pop, and some rhymes by 50 Cent sure can’t hurt. Hear the recent Idolator interviewee’s latest remix below.

As guest verses go, this one’s pretty standard: “We can get to actin’ naughty, I’ll explore your body/ Music playin’ with the lights out.” It fits the tone of this party jam.

How do you feel about 50 Cent joining Dev’s lights-out party?

Anyway, on with the video! Here we have Nicole marching around the concrete jungle that is Los Angeles while wearing various sexy outfits and busting a wide array of dance moves. And gotta love that product placement! (Yes, we see you, prominently-placed Belvedere bottle!)

Meanwhile, Fiddy spits rhymes like, “I like it when you’re freaky, I’m freaky / I’ll explore your body completely!” Poetry, pop fans. Pure poetry.

Things eventually erupt into a sultry dance party as Nicole and her ladies shake and grind in what appears to be an empty warehouse space-turned-nightclub.

All in all, “Right There” is upbeat, fun and breezy — everything that a springtime pop video should be.

What do you think of Nicole’s “Right There” clip? Is this a decent single to finally launch her debut solo album with?
