Nicki Minaj: "Moment 4 Life" Video On the Way

Nicki Minaj: 

"Moment 4 Life" Video On the Way

Her fans have patiently waited for this, and tomorrow will bring Nicki Minaj's long-awaited “Moment 4 Life” video on MTV.

The clip, which was shot in December in Los Angeles, features Young Money labelmate Drake and is rumored to show the pair playing up their "are they or aren't they?" relationship with a kiss, says MTV’s website.


Of the video, Drake said, "I think it's crazy that somehow, some higher power brought all these individuals together."

"I remember being on the [tour] bus when Wayne played me ‘Tha Carter III,’ which went on to sell a million copies in one week. Then it was ‘Thank Me Later.’ It was this big pressure, and that went on to sell what it did,” the Canadian rapper added.

Nicki Minaj certainly seems to be everywhere these days! She is certainly a star on the rise, recently appearing on the cover of V magazine.

Nicki was spotted outside the KISS FM radio station in London, England, looking very, um, pink. I love that she has such an interesting sense of style. Nicki has made it clear that her look is all her, and that she has final approval on everything she wears, but I can’t help thinking that she reminds me of Lady Gaga! What do you think?

Nicki Minaj to V: You Will Remember Me!

Nicki Minaj to V: You Will Remember Me!

What do Nicki Minaj and Ted Williams have in common? Little, except for this: neither wants to be forgotten.

Williams sent this message to America before leaving for rehab this week, while Nicki Minaj says in the latest issue of V:

“I’m an entertainer - I like to make people laugh. Some will hate it and some will love it, but all will remember it. And that’s what I want: to be remembered. Even if I’m saying something hard-core or controversial, there’s always a touch of humor, and if you don’t like it, it means I’m stirring things up inside of you.”

Speaking on her unique persona, the rapper also says: “I would crumple up and die if I had to wake up and be the same person every day."

She certainly changes things up in this magazine's pictorial. Click on the following images to enlarge each one:

Nicki Minaj In V Magazine

 Nicki Minaj In V Magazine

Nicki Minaj is featured in V Magazine’s latest issue “The Discovery Issue”, which hits newsstands tomorrow.

In it, she shares that despite having a team, she has the final say on everything:

“Everything I do has been approved by me personally. My team is mostly made up of guys, but none of them would ever think about telling me what to wear or what to do with my hair. They know that ultimately I’m gonna do what I’m gonna do.”

On wanting to be remembered:

“I’m an entertainer – I like to make people laugh,” she says. “Some will hate it and some will love it, but all will remember it. And that’s what I want: to be remembered. Even if I’m saying something hard-core or controversial, there’s always a touch of humor, and if you don’t like it, it means I’m stirring things up inside of you.”

On being herself, but ever-changing:

“I just always want to do ‘me,’ but ‘me’ changes every day. I would crumble up and die if I had to wake up and be the same person every day. I don’t silence those voices anymore. I just let them speak.”

I think Nicki Minaj is only going to be more popular this year – she’s on the rise!
