This has been Minaj’s season. In the run-up to her new album, The Pinkprint, she’s released some of the most talked-about songs of the year. First, there was the heavy “Pills N Potions.” Then came the aggressive rap of “Anaconda.” After that she went hardcore and provocative on her last cut, “Only,” most famous for its problematic video.

Now “Bed of Lies” is deepening her public persona to a whole new level.
