Just a day after being featured in B.o.B.’s new video for “Out of My Mind” (in which she plays a stripping doctor), Nicki Minaj has released a video of her own. The spot is for “I Am Your Leader,” which features Rick Ross and Cam’Ron, who both appear in the video. The video is standard Nicki, a few unhinged and angry facial expressions, some pseudo-sexy poses and moves and lots of pink walls and make-up.
 She has teamed up with Give Back Brands LLC, the same company behind Justin Bieber’s successful “Someday” fragrance, to launch the perfume in department stores at the end of September. While catering to her mostly female fan base, she is confident that her male fans will also like it. She Also Tweeted
The hip-hop superstar is involved in all aspects of the brand, including product development, packaging, and advertising. “Signing Nicki Minaj was a simple decision; her talent and extensive reach present a platform with tremendous global opportunity,” added Paul West, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Give Back Brands. When asked what it smells like, the Young Money rapper told one of her Barbz, “Like angels playing.”
The Hollywood Reporter initially said Minaj might have a problem landing the “American Idol” job because she has an endorsement deal with Pepsi, and “Idol” is sponsored by Coke. Other names circulating in the “American Idol” rumor mill include Keith Urban, Enrique Iglesias, Pharrell Williams and Nick Jonas. “I usually pick the beat when me and Wayne do something,” she said, explaining how her freestyle came together for the tape. “I went to Miami and I started grilling him like, ‘Hey, why don’t you lecture me anyone?’ and he says, ‘you made it already I ain’t got to tell you sh–.” “We had this crazy little spat — I actually got on footage and I’ll show the fans really soon,” she continued. “But he’s working on the mixtape and I said, ‘Excuse me, I need to be on that mixtape,’ and he said, ‘Aight, whatever you wanna do.’ So I just went into the other room and recorded on this particular beat that I’m sure my fans are gonna be very happy that I touched. I’m really excited for the kids to hear.” Nicki was amused just thinking about the track, which she says will be “real funny,” but she also admitted that she misses Wayne’s hands-on approach a little. “It’s like having a strict parent and when you no longer have it [you] kinda want that,” she said. “I told him, ‘I miss when you would lecture me and tell me to keep on my grind and do this do and do that — where’s the love?’ ” Doing one of her infamous Lil Wayne impressions, Nicki tried to reenact his response to her plea: “[Female Weezy voice] Yeah, you and Drake ya’ll made it, ya’ll don’t f— with a n—a no more.” She was clearly amused by his stance on things, but maintains that “he’s always gonna be my mentor.” “He’s just sitting back watching, and seeing the fruits of his labor, and that’s what he said.” Minaj released her sophomore album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded in April, and she plans to drop another project by the end of 2012, although she declined to give any details, simply saying, “I’m releasing something before the year is out.” |
