On the 7th of July, Nicki Minaj was shocked to be the number one Female Hip-Hop artist in the country (U.S.A). After creating a song called 'Your Love' Nicki was planning to sit on it for a while. But the song was stolen and leaked on the internet. She said when her friend showed it to her she was upset... But this all changed when the song was being played all over the radio . It made her the NUMBER ONE FEMALE HIP-HOP ARTIST IN THE COUNTRY! Nicki was the first Female Hip-Hop artist to have a Number One in 8 YEARS ... Nicki really has hit this world and deffinately showed that she is the most Talented Female out there !
With the song getting a number one, Nicki decided to shoot the video so that it could be played on TV music channels too! While shooting the video for 'Your Love' MTV stopped by to interview her on how she felt about the whole situation...
“I was not planning on putting the song out at all,” she told MTV News over the weekend on the “Your Love” video set. “But then I heard it one day, somebody told me it was online. And I was like, ‘No way, no way in the world that song is out.’ I went and listened to it and was really upset. It wasn’t mixed, it wasn’t finished, it wasn’t anything — I wasn’t gonna use it at all. But then radio started playing it.”
Soon enough, the record shot up to #1; the last woman to rule the rap charts was Missy Elliott with “Work It.”
“Isn’t that crazy?” Nicki said. “Crazy. I don’t even know how it feels [to have a #1 hit] right now. But it’s amazing.”
In the meantime, the Lil Wayne protégé is still working on her untitled debut album, which she hopes to release by the end of the year. She recently aligned herself with Diddy and is fresh off winning for Best Female Hip-Hop Artist at the BET Awards last month.
According to Nicki, though, she’s still rooted in the spirit of a newcomer and not letting success go to her head.
“Sometimes people see the glitz and the glamour. That’s why they envy you,” Minaj said earlier this year. “They don’t see three, four, five years ago. They don’t see when I was selling my mixtape for $2 on Jamaica Avenue [in Queens]. They don’t see when I couldn’t get New York DJs — I lived in New York my whole life — to even play a song. At the end of the day, it’s all about hard work. You clearly see that hard work; that’s all it takes. If you really want it, direct your energy on positive sh–, and it will happen.”
... Can't wait for the Video Nicki :)
