Nicki Minaj ‘Anaconda’: 1,000 Nicki Minaj Bum Cutouts Appear In Finland, While ‘Feeling Myself’ Singer Disses Ex Safaree [PHOTO+VIDEO]

Although she had already been in the music scene for a while, it wasn't until Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" that the singer achieved superstardom status in the industry, with the video prominently showing off her bum becoming a viral pop culture sensation - so much that a thousand people gathered in the Finnish capital city with cut-outs of it.

The move to place 1,000 Nicki Minaj "Anaconda" backsides is part of a campaign to promote a music festival called "Summer Up," and they came up with the most brilliant way to do it, showing off the singer's figure behind the steps of the Helsinki Cathedral.

According to Time Magazine, 100 of the Nicki Minaj "Anaconda" bum cutouts actually had two-day free passes attached to the back of the cardboard, as the Scandinavian country waits for the singer's appearance in the renown festival, as she'll be the main act in the July 3-4 event.

The festival that will see Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" live is the biggest urban music one, and the "Starships" singer is expected to be the top chart.

The Mirror reports that, to win one of the Nicki Minaj "Anaconda" tickets, all fans had to do was find the tickets among the sea of 1,000 backsides of the famous singer, as the festival attempted to create a sense of "positive wonderment" around itself, in the words of the festival's director Martin Mustonen.

According to The New York Daily News, though, that's not the only reason Minaj is making news these days, as the singer recently took to Twitter to blast her ex-boyfriend Safaree over his recent dissing single, "Love Me The Most," where the singer had a "pity party" over their breakup, after the two were together for 12 years and later broke up in 2014.

Minaj told Safaree to tell the truth about their relationship, adding that he'd cheated when they were together.

In case all those Nicki Minaj "Anaconda" cut-outs made you want to rewatch the video, here it is!
