ICYMI, Ariana Grande dropped her new video clip for ‘Side To Side‘ after the VMAs on Monday, and it’s a bit of a banger.
It takes place in a retro-style gymnasium. A cycle class is involved. Nicki Minaj is chilling in the sauna, which is your larger-than-average sauna, and sure, everything’s just a little bit sexual, but that’s just pop music these days, right?
Wrong! It’s about sex. It’s very, very obviously about sex.
“That whole song is kind of about, you know, soreness – riding leading to soreness,” Grande confirmed to MTV News. “‘Ride dick bicycle’ is the lyric, indeed.”
Here’s that bit:
This the new style with the fresh type of flow
Wrist icicle, ride dick bicycle
Come true yo, get you this type of blow
If you wanna Minaj I got a tricycle
Jack just explained that the song Side to Side is about getting railed so hard you can’t walk. SO MANY EMOTIONZ.

Of course, a bunch of people are firmly planting themselves in the ‘why are you even shocked’ camp, because this was always going to happen.
WAIT INTERNET! I thought Ariana Grande’s “Side to Side” was about appetizers…
