Sophia Grace Brownlee has somehow managed to add to her adorableness. The 11-year-old girl who rose to internet stardom after her cover of Nicki Minaj’s “Super Bass” went viral has debuted her new music video called “Best Friends.”
Headed by music video director Matt Alonzo, Brownlee’s video showcases the little girl’s rapping talents, along with plenty of frills and flair, pink-hued attire, and girl power motifs. In the video, Brownlee invites a bunch of her gal pals over for a slumber party, singing “when stupid boys come around/Me and my girls shut ‘em down.” The girls raid the closet of Brownlee’s fictional mother before ending up on one heck of a Kmart-branded shopping spree and strutting down the runway of their very own fashion show.

Brownlee’s original Minaj cover video, now boasting over 47 million views, gained the attention of Ellen DeGeneres shortly after it was posted. The then-eight-year-old appeared on DeGeneres’s The Ellen Show and got to meet Minaj in person; the footage from that show’s episode has more than 86 million views. Brownlee was also set to star as Little Red Riding Hood in director Rob Marshall’s film version of Steven Sondheim’s musical Into the Woods, but that deal fell through and actress Lilla Crawford was ultimately cast as Riding Hood.
Sophia Grace Brownlee’s YouTube channel only hosts 19 videos at the moment (including her new music video), but her 560,000+ subscribers seem to love them. The girl’s videos currently have over 165 million collective views.
