Rap-Up.com || Nicki Minaj and Justin Bieber Break VEVO Record

Nicki Minaj and Justin Bieber are making and breaking records—literally. The duo’s “Beauty and a Beat” music video has set the record for the most views in 24 hours on VEVO.

“Congrats @justinbieber & @NICKIMINAJ! #BAAB24hrRecord is YOURS! Most @VEVO views in 24 hours!” tweeted VEVO.

The video, which racked up 10.6 million views in 24 hours, features homemade-style footage of Justin on tour, hanging out, and relaxing with Nicki at a water park. It currently has over 20 million views.

“hey @nickiminaj – thanks for being a part of this. :) #HISTORY,” tweeted the teen heartthrob.

The previous record was held by British-Irish boy band One Direction, whose video for “Live While We’re Young” registered 8.2 million views in 24 hours.

“Beauty and a Beat” is from Bieber’s recent Believe album, which also features Drake (“Right Here”), Ludacris (“All Around the World”), and Big Sean (“As Long as You Love Me”).

So deserving considering this is the greatest song/video of both of their careers. We’ll be telling our grandkids where we were when we first saw it.

@queen bitch baby!!, There has to be NOTHING but kids co-signing Nicki. Anyone over the age of 18 cheering Nicki wackness has the mentality of a 10 year old. Grown 30 year old Nicki and lil boy Bieber. SMH!

@Speechless, Okay.. Imma have to stop you there. 1st of all. A successful music video.. HAS to look entertaining, interesting, has a story-ish line that matches the song, and has to have dance!… These bitches and hyenas on the charts like Bieber and Minaj.. They’ve figured it out with this one.

Both artists are wack and past their expiration date. Justin is gay as hell and Nicki is straight suburb there is nothing hood and hard about this wack ass chick she is nothing more than a black Fergie. Ready for real female rappers to emerge because this bitch is a clown and thats why her new album is struggling to sell 450K in the States haha.
