Nicki Minaj Nightline Interview

nickionnightline

Whatever you do, do not compare Onika to Lady Gaga. Nicki Minaj is hot on her promo trail after releasing her sophomore album “Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded” last Tuesday. I believe it has sold about 119k so far but I do not think the final weekly numbers are in yet. Not quite as good as her debut album but still good… For a horrible album that is.

Onika discussed why it bothers her when people compare her to Lady Gaga. She also touches on growing up with her father being a drug addict and fearing for her mother’s life. Then she discusses being a mom in the industry. Interview after the jump.

Nicki Minaj “Performs” On American Idol

nickionidol

You know, something about “established” artists going on American Idol, a singing competition show, and not performing 100% live that really grinds my gears. Nicki Minaj “performed” her latest single “Starships” last night and hey, it was pretty awful.

Onika decided to rap her parts and some what lip-synch and some what stand there during the chorus. Come on girl, you could have at least tried singing. Whatever… Video after the jump.

New Music: Nicki Minaj f/ Chris Brown “Right By My Side”

main

Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded is almost among us. With that being said, expect lots of leaks from Nicki Minaj. Up first, “Right By My Side” featuring Chris Brown. The song doesn’t move me, excite me nor impress me. However, it doesn’t make me cringe. Check out the song and Nicki’s pictures from Complex Magazines 10th Anniversary issue after the jump!

Nicki Minaj Covers Allure Magazine

Allure

Nicki Minaj graces the cover of the April issue of Allure magazine. Bright and funky, Nicki discusses hair to Jay-Z. Check out the article and pictures below.

Why does this woman—who played a dominatrix in a video with model corpses in lingerie (Kanye West’s “Monster”), and who proudly proclaims, “I’m a big deal/That’s why I get more head than a pigtail”—also have an audience of insanely devoted eight-year-olds? “I think as far as the younger demo is concerned, I play dress-up,” Minaj says. “I also can put on a very cartoonish voice. So sometimes children may not know what I’m saying, but they like the sound of it, and they think I sound like some weird character.”

Nicki Minaj Performs At The NBA All Star Game

nickiminajnba

The NBA All Star Game was tonight… Don’t know who won. Can’t say I care. However, Nicki Minaj performed during the intro. It was a nice medley. Well with the exception of her trying to sing live. I guess I’ll give her credit for actually performing live?

She opened with “Moment 4 Life” followed by “Turn Me On“. Then she came back out after the West Coast team was introduced and performed “Starships“. Yes, she really did. After the East Coast team came out she performed “Superbass“. Check out the performance after the jump.

New Music: Nicki Minaj feat Lil Wayne “Roman Reloaded”

nickiminajromanreloaded

Nicki Minaj is infecting our ears with more junk. She was once a rapper turned singer turned autotune queen turned country-ish and now she’s back to being a rapper this week. I can’t keep up. I feel like she is doing way too much. “Roman Reloaded” is a single, hype track, buzz single, royal rubbish featuring Lil Wayne.

Did Nicki Minaj Perform Career Suicide?

Not only did Nicki Minaj plan on debuting her new song “Roman Holiday” but she also decided to show up with The Pope on the Grammy’s red carpet. Whatever floats ya boat girl…

The talk of the night? Her EXTRA performance! I don’t think it was really a good look for hip hop per se, but definitely entertaining. She’s a Barbie, what more do you expect? Video after the jump.

New Music: Nicki Minaj “Marilyn Monroe”

marilynmonroe

I’m convinced that Nicki Minaj no longer knows what genre she belongs to. “Marilyn Monroe” hit the internet yesterday, conveniently right before her half time cameo and it is… Definitely not Nicki-like. This sounds like some Taylor Swift type shit. I’m not sold.


What do you think? Can you see this getting any real radio play? Is this the downfall of Barbie?

Madonna Super Bowl XLVI Halftime Show

madgeperformance

Madonna blessed us all with her presence at the Super Bowl this year. She had acts such as M.I.A., Nicki Minaj, Cee-Lo Green and LMFAO join her on stage. I wasn’t all that impressed with the performance. I mean, this lady talks shit about every other pop artist out there but is almost as stiff as Britney Spears. Performance after the jump.

Madonna released her video for “Give Me All Your Luvin” today. The visual features M.I.A. and Nicki Minaj.

Can’t say I’m all that crazy about the song and video. Supposedly the trio will be performing this song together during the Super Bowl on Sunday.
