Nicki Minaj’s long-awaited music video for “Fly” is finally about to see the light of day. MTV will air a sneak peek of the clip during the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards pre-show.

Directed by Sanaa Hamri, the visual was filmed in January, but delayed so Nicki could release “Super Bass” as a single off Pink Friday. “I’m gonna hold off on the Rihanna video and the Rihanna single for a little bit longer,” she previously told MTV News. “‘Cause we both kind of dropped at the same time. So she has a lot of [songs] in rotation and I want to let her stuff have a moment and do its thing, dominate radio. [Instead], I wanted to come out with something more fun.”

No official premiere date has been announced. Catch the sneak peek of the ‘Fly’ when the VMA pre-show airs live on Sunday, August 28, at 8 p.m.
