"Nasty Girl" is the title of a song by Notorious B.I.G. It was released in 2005 in the US and on January 16th 2006 in the UK. The single reached #1 in the UK (this being his first #1 in the country, just under a year after "rival" rapper 2Pac had also achieved his first #1 there also with "Ghetto Gospel"). The song features guest appearances from Jagged Edge, P. Diddy, Avery Storm, and Nelly and the video also contains guest appearances from Pharrell Williams, Usher, Fat Joe, 8 Ball & MJG, Teairra Mari, Jazze Pha, DJ Green Lantern, Naomi Campbell and Memphis Bleek. It can be found on the album Duets: The Final Chapter, a remixed album of Biggie Smalls' work. The lyrical section rapped by Notorious B.I.G is actually lifted from another of his songs called "Nasty Boy", featured on from his second album Life After Death. Despite this, the production to the song "Nasty Boy" is completely different to that for "Nasty Girl", and apart from the lyrical sample, the two songs bear no similarities.

The Notorious B.I.G. claimed that he was recording Nasty Boy when Tupac Shakur was shot in Las Vegas on September 7, 1996. During that day, Biggie said that he had no connection with the crips upon the alleged shooting. Instead he recorded his verse in the morning and saw the Mike Tyson and Bruce Seldon fight at home.

The single also appeared on Nelly's Sweatsuit album.

Nasty Girl also has a music video featuring the artists mentioned above. It was produced by Jazze Pha, set in a party to honor the Notorious B.I.G. It includes clips of Smalls in the beginning and end of the video (the first showing Biggie and Tupac Shakur as friends before the rivalry). Just before Nelly's verse, Naomi Campbell makes a memorable entrance into the video, slapping a man in the process, when the man asks "Aren't you one of those Top Model girls?"
Usher, Pharrell, Fat Joe & Jazze Pha make cameos.
