"Twerk It" (stylized as "#Twerkit") is a song by American rapper Busta Rhymes featuring Nicki Minaj. Written by both performers alongside its producer Pharrell Williams, the song was intended to serve as the lead single for Busta Rhymes' tenth studio album, E.L.E.2 (Extinction Level Event 2), which was delayed from 2014 to 2020; the final album did not feature this song. "Twerk It" has been said to be Jamaican-inspired and is influenced by dancehall music.[1] A music video for the song was shot in Flatbush, New York on June 3, 2013.[2][4]
