Iggy Azalea, Rita Ora break out katanas and jumpsuits for 'Black Widow'

Iggy Azalea and Rita Ora’s song “Black Widow” raises a lot of questions—like what does it mean that Rita Ora wants to love somebody until they hate her and also like a black widow? And what is up with Iggy’s tautologically fraught line, “If it wasn’t for you I wouldn’t be stuck singing this song?” And has someone, possibly a close friend or family member, talked to them about the fact that getting into “Fatal Attraction s–t” isn’t something they should be so proud of, and maybe they should consider a course of intensive therapy?

The video for the track only keeps the questions coming. Why is Iggy Azalea working in a greasy spoon with a poster in the kitchen that clearly has a drawing of her on it? What kind of high-intensity boob tape are she and Rita Ora using in those jumpsuits? And did anyone think that there were people out there who were begging to see Iggy Azalea and Rita Ora try their hand at comedic acting?

These issues aside, the video has lots of sword fighting, lots of cleavage, and appearances by Michael Madsen (the budget-minded filmmaker’s Mickey Rourke) and T.I., which is the kind of fun that your brain craves when it’s tired from way overthinking pop-rap lyrics.
