If you’ve missed Christina Milian on The Voice, don’t worry… She’ll be back for the live rounds soon. But in the meantime, check her out in her latest cameo…

The 31-year-old Afro-Cuban American singer appears in Birdman’s new video “Tapout.”

It’s the first single off of the Cash Money Records co-founder’s soon-to-be-released album Rich Gang: Flashy Lifestyle; and it features Lil Wayne, Nicki Minaj, Mack Maine and Future,

Along with Birdman’s collaborators, the five-minute clip features appearances by Milian, Paris Hilton and Kimora Lee Simmons as thieves posing as waitresses in a glamorous cocktail party out to pull off a heist in the ritzy mansion event venue.

In classic cat burglar style, Hilton and Milian successfully manage to break into the safe where all the cash and jewels are stashed. As they are about to escape, the rich owner and the cops get on their trail, capturing Milian but not Hilton, who easily walks away with the loot, giving Milian a knowing wink, revealing that the capture is a clever distraction.
