Nicki Minaj

Okay...so Nicki M's album, Pink Friday, is set to drop on Tuesday, November 22nd. She was on the Rickey Smiley morning show today and it was actually a really good interview! Nicki Minaj actually seems to be a really "down to earth" person on her grind! The animated and quirky Minaj said that she still doesn't feel as though she's "made it", but she's just really blessed to be where she's at. She spoke about how her father abused alcohol and drugs, and stated that she found herself coping with it by creating music and staying focused. Her answers to Rickey and the team were definitely "heart-felt"...not contrived. She also denied the rumor that she and Keyshia Cole had any beef whatsoever, stating that the two had actually collaborated on Keyshia's latest album. She's on top right now...can't deny it. Like Regina Bradley said, "She's in the mouths of fans and haters alike and by the looks of it, Nicki Minaj's album is going to do quite well. What do you guys think? Let us know! Lata. ;)
