The reigning rap queen previewed her "Anaconda" music video in Instagram and the fans have mixed reactions about it.

The "Super Bass" singer posted a 15-second preview of her new single, which has received much controversy even before its release.

During the announcement of "Anaconda" release, the public has scrutinized Minaj for allegedly editing her single's cover art and for showing her bare bum. Some of her critics even went on to say that Minaj encourages "slut shaming" in the way she presented herself in the photograph.

Amidst public disregard, Minaj posted on her Instagram account saying, "U can't steal my joy. Your fears are your fears. Your doubts are your doubts. U can't steal my joy. Sit back and watch God move."

The preview showed the forest-themed background with Minaj dancing in a black, slick one-piece. In a shot, she was featured twerking her infamous behind.

Meanwhile, many feminists were proud of the message Minaj relayed in the new single.

The bootylicious singer raps about the power of having a curvy body.

"Come through and f*** him in my automobile / Let him eat it with his grills, and he tellin' me to chill / And he telling me it's real, that he love my sex appeal / Say he don't like em boney, he want something he can grab ... Yeah, he love this fat ass. This one is for my bitches with a fat ass in the f**kin' club," raps Minaj.

In the brilliantly pieced lyrics, Minaj talked about "booty politics." The issue was once talked about on Mix-a-lot's music video in 1992, which was briefly shown in the "Anaconda" video, where he generally objectified the black female body. Mix-a-lot's video showed women spanking and gyrating each other bums for the pleasure of men.

"Anaconda" is already available for download in iTunes.
