Nicki Minaj Calls M.I.A. Cuckoo, Says Roman’s Revenge Will Outsale Pink Friday & Won’t Talk Pepsi
The evening before Nicki Minaj’s sophomore album, Roman’s Revenge (it features artists like Chris Brown, Drake,2 Chainz, Young Jeezy, Rick Ross, Nas and of course Young Money CEO Lil Wayne.), she hit up two of New York’s biggest radio stations, Hot 97 (with Funk Master Flex) and Power 105 (with DJ Clue). While chatting with Clue, she discussed M.I.A.’s Super Bowl finger, the pressure for album #2, her new Pepsi gig and the potential of working with Cam’ron and Wacka.
On M.I.A.’s middle finger during the Super Bowl:
“I love M.I.A. She’s cuckoo sometimes, but I love her.”
On if she believes in the sophomore jinx and if it will out sale Pink Friday:
“Hell no! This album is gonna sell so much more than Pink Friday. Ask me this question two years from today, Clue. With me, I’m never about first week and all that. I like to look at it for the long haul. I’ma travel, I’ma meet my beautiful babies, my Barbz everywhere, and this is my first time I’m gonna get to do a world tour, so the album is gonna do its thang.”
On her recent HUGE deal with Pepsi:
“I can’t comment on any Pepsi-related stuff. I do have a new relationship with Pepsi and they will tell everyone more at the right time.”
On two other male rappers that she plans to work with:
“I may have a little something something coming out with [Cam’ron]. I may have a little something something coming with Waka Flocka, my little brother. I do have a few more verses to hand in and then we got to hit the world a couple times.”
Speaking of Roman (literally), going back to her first love, theater, Nicki plans to work on a movie of her own and develop an acting career in 2013. The mini-movie that she has been teasing about for the past couple of months is set to give the world a personal look at her alter ego, ‘Roman.’ If you haven’t heard of Roman by now you should peep Nicki’s 2012 Grammy performance here. Nicki Minaj spoke with Capital FM explaining,
“Well I’ve been working on this character Roman and I’ve been just doing some things – writing like a story and hopefully I’ll make it into an actual movie… I did a little snippet on the Grammy’s so that people could get to know the character Roman a little bit more and see how in depth he is. I’m hoping next year I’ll be able to focus on the movie stuff and the acting and the books and all that.”
P.S. In less than half an hour, it skyrocketed to the Number One downloaded album on iTunes.
