and one of her fans was lucky enough to get a lapdance https://instagram.com/p/1OwpmkL8Ub/?taken-by=nickiminaj

also is there any reason why her twitter profile and cover picture are light blue? we expecting Blue Friday or something? tongue.gif

Posted by: Josh. Apr 9 2015, 07:45 PM

an Inc? She needs a forum right Dan/April?!?

The boob thing is killing me at the moment though, the way his face lights up when he hits them laugh.gif I love the way he gets up on the mic and starts twerking afterwards too, when will your faves have healing and self-confidence boobs tbh

Posted by: ► ▲ N Apr 9 2015, 07:49 PM

I don't see him twerking though, you watching a different video to me?

It seriously looks like the boobs are doing something to him though laugh.gif although let's be honest most straight guys would absolutely love to have the full Nicki Minaj Experience™ like that kink.gif

Posted by: Jonjo Apr 9 2015, 07:55 PM

The light blue thing on the profile is to promote the new TIDAL streaming service. 'Tis all. sad.gif

Can someone pls explain this 'Inc.' thing to me. (And also why this is a separate thread and not just a post in her album thread or something IDGI ~)

Inc. = off topic chat

forum mods you can move this to the album thread if you want but as Nicki's probably never getting an AF it makes sense to have an off topic chat thread in the urban forum as she's clearly popular enough for one

Yes I get that part but why 'Inc.'? Where did that term come from? And more to the point if you must have made a Nicki 'Inc.' thread why did you avoid a far better sounding pun of... any of her album titles? So many questions.

Don't mind me magic.gif

Posted by: Apricot Apr 9 2015, 10:00 PM

Yes Dan! cheer.gif

This is my favourite Pinkprint tour moment...

ESSENTIAL thread Dan (except maybe with a better name, we will get thinking thinking.gif)

Her recent posts have been absolutely hilarious. The 'dem thangz' thing was hilarious - couldn't stop replaying the clip laugh.gif

And then her obsession with this lapdance girl who she's apparently met in the past too mellow.gif https://instagram.com/p/1OzYRFL8YX/?taken-by=nickiminaj

Posted by: Josh. Apr 10 2015, 11:46 AM

Lapdance girl laugh.gif The way she just puts her leg up and Nicki's like 'wait, wtf, lmao' wub.gif

OOH and PINC. Friday for the thread title? ohmy.gif

Posted by: ► ▲ N Apr 10 2015, 11:59 AM

pINC. Friday seems a bit too obvious of a thread title, funny enough actually though the Starships pun came to me first.

Posted by: Jonjo Apr 10 2015, 12:01 PM

Or Nicki M.INC.aj? Or INC.ki Minaj?

*grabs coat*

Posted by: HausofKendrick Apr 10 2015, 12:04 PM

LMAOOO Jonjo INC.ki Minaj just made me snort laugh.gif!

(the current title is really hard to actually work out what it means is all, so i'd say the more obvious the better)

Posted by: Jade Apr 10 2015, 01:42 PM

Yay for Nicki getting her own thread!

This time last week I was getting ready to go and see her in Birmingham. Take me back!

Posted by: Josh. Apr 10 2015, 01:44 PM

I'm actually distraught I couldn't go to the tour, my friend didn't have the money to go and no way am I taking mum, she'd be mortified laugh.gif She better have another tour with the next album and it better come soon sad.gif

Posted by: JoeyXCX Apr 10 2015, 01:46 PM

Pinc. Friday would be a fab title I think! Love this thread idea though, Nicki's definitely big enough to warrant her own discussion thread separate from the albums.

I've heard lots of good things about the tour, would've been quite a fun experience to go I think!

Posted by: ► ▲ N Apr 10 2015, 04:58 PM

how was the tour then? looks great from those instagram vids anyway. I probably won't see her live though unless she does a festival that I'm going to

Posted by: ¡bré! Apr 10 2015, 06:32 PM

Why don't you just call it a general discussion thread so people know what the shet they're actually looking at cos that title means nothing ~

(o I see the subtitle now wd)

Posted by: Robot Apr 10 2015, 07:24 PM

She was so amazing last night, absolutely loved it all - didn't need a load of costume changes like what made seeing Katy so exciting, she just permanently had the audience in the palm of her hands with great interaction aswell. Really helped me grow an emotional connection with 'The Night Is Still Young' which I loved anyway in an anthemic way, but now I really love it in a different way. The backing track playing with chorus backing vocals while she did that wonderful speech (however generic as it may have been) will stick with me forever, a song that I now think will forever stick with me as something that I can listen to and feel so positive when listening to it. It may just be a basic pop song to some, and by most merits, it is, but it's not got something so special attached to it for me that I'll definitely take with me from this gig.

Gah, so sad it's all over but it was every bit as amazing as I really hoped it would be wub.gif

Posted by: Apricot Apr 10 2015, 07:35 PM

I'm so glad you had an amazing time Rob! I hope she comes back later in the year for another leg.

Posted by: Aaliyah4Eva Apr 11 2015, 02:44 PM

I enjoyed Nicki in leeds the other night it also made me enjoy 'The Night Is Still Young' more than I have it deffo one for playing in clubs and loudly sounds amazing, loved the show overall and the atmosphere was electric, saw her in Sheffield couple of years ago but the smaller venue of Leeds made it more atmospheric

Posted by: Jack Apr 12 2015, 05:19 PM

She is absolutely amazing live but I do think she was better on her Roman Reloaded tour possibly. I think the major thing that made me not like it as much was due to the sheer amount of disgusting ratchet hoes looking for a fight and who actually fought violently against innocent people who were, god forbid, accidentally pushing them in the crowded standing area.. vile. Not that was her fault though.

Posted by: Acoustic Apr 14 2015, 04:53 PM



This is my favourite fan moment so far. When he finishes on Nicki's spot laugh.gif

Posted by: April May 17 2015, 10:00 PM

OMG look at the seating plan for Billboard Music Awards...



They've put her behind Mariah! rotf.gif rotf.gif

If you're wondering she's apparently performing BOTH Hey Mama and The Night Is Still Young! ohmy.gif

Posted by: Josh. May 18 2015, 04:04 PM

The Night Is Still Young performance was a bit flat, enjoyed the Hey Mama one though, she seemed to be going for that one a bit more. Really getting into the latter at the moment, happy it seems to be taking off worldwide.

that promo as well, iconic.

what's the promo for then? can't be the album now because that's been out for ages.

Posted by: Josh. Jun 10 2015, 07:14 PM

Some festival in Helsinki, some of the LIFE SIZED (!!!) cardboard cutouts had tickets to the festival on them. It's causing a bit of trouble though because those steps lead to a church/cathedral or something and to say she's not wearing much would be an understatement.

Amidst the rant on Twitter over the past 24 hours, Nicki said she was shooting a video yesterday. I wonder what for! ohmy.gif She later said she can't for us to hear it, so it might be a feature, unless she's doing a Re-Up style package for The Pinkprint?

(Jumping on the trend kink.gif)

According to last.fm these are my most played Nicki track since April 2016:

1. The Crying Game (33 plays)
2. Get On Your Knees (21 plays)
3. Bed Of Lies (19 plays)
4. Truffle Butter (16 plays)
5. Trini Dem Girls (13 plays)
6. Feeling Myself (11 plays)
7. Buy A Heart (10 plays)
8. No Frauds (10 plays)
9. All Things Go (9 plays)
10. Anaconda (6 plays)

Pretty much a Pink Print whitewash there! ohmy.gif Even in the last year alone that can't be accurate, I'm positive I've played No Frauds and the lower top 10 tracks WAY more and some of the Pink Friday/Roman Reloaded tracks more than 6 times laugh.gif

Posted by: nfjabf Jul 4 2017, 06:56 PM

According to last.fm since Oct 2014:

1 Only (44)
2 Feeling Myself (38)
3 The Night Is Still Young (35)
4 Bed of Lies (33)
5 Anaconda (32)
6 All Things Go (29)
6 Get On Your Knees (29)
6 The Crying Game (29)
9 Favorite (27)
10 I Lied (27)

Just The Pinkprint tracklist re-shuffled so obviously not representative !! Starships would be my all-time #1 tbh even though it is far from her best, rounding out the top three would probably be Girls Fall Like Dominoes and Super Bass heart.gif

Posted by: 360Jupiter Jul 5 2017, 12:05 AM

Are we doing all-times or just since a certain date?

Here's my alltime:

1) Moment 4 Life
2) Anaconda
3) Only
4) Feeling Myself
5) Bed of Lies
6) Buy a Heart
7) I Am Your Leader
8) Truffle Butter
9) High School
10) Trini Dem Girls

01. Starships (96)
02. Girl On Fire (Alicia Keys) (79)
03. Turn Me On (David Guetta) (63)
04. Anaconda (41)
04. Swalla (Jason Derulo) (41)
06. Give Me All Your Luvin (Madonna) (38)
06. Va Va Voom (38)

Nicki has been posted this today on her social media too, that choreography *-* This is literally me everytime I put Nicki on and I'm home alone laugh.gif I always forget how good her early mixtape stuff is too, I really ought to go back to it more...

Posted by: burbe Aug 16 2017, 08:49 PM

I forgot how much of a tune Itty Bitty Piggy is. It was the first Nicki song I heard because my friend used to be obsessed with it and play it like 10 times a day :S

It was the first song that I had ever heard too and it's a massive tune. Nowadays, if I want to listen to a bit of Nicki then I usually just put a bit of Pink Friday or the Pinkprint on which is a shame as I always forget to go back to her old stuff and Roman Reloaded too. I never really got Massive Attack though which everyone seems to ADORE on here laugh.gif

In other news, the pastor from the previous page has taken to Facebook to explain that the Instagram is fake and someone has just used his pictures, seems a bit fishy considering they date back to January 2016 though heehee.gif Also, Nicki has put to rest any potential feud rumours with Cardi B, she says people need to stop reaching and dissecting any tweet/instagram as beef between the two laugh.gif

Absolutely adore it.

Seriously can't wait for a new album, feels like forever since the Pinkprint.

Posted by: danG Aug 17 2017, 10:18 AM

what happened after the tringle we got a few months ago? unsure.gif you'd think that would be the start of her album campaign but she's just kept doing features since, I really want a big solo Nicki single sometime in the next few months.

I knowww sad.gif It all seems to have gone quiet after the 'tringle' (laugh.gif) - I hope we're still all set for a Q4 release (she managed to sneak the Pinkprint in when we were all expecting more pushbacks). In a way, I kind of hope she leaves these tracks off though, RIYT and No Frauds both grew on me lots but they're nowhere near her best. I'd still like to go back to them often but I hope the album goes in a slightly different direction to be honest.

Yeah I just had a look and Andrew's suggestion seems right? Go to Nicki's artist page http://www.buzzjack.com/artists/Nicki-Minaj/53/ and it'll give you the option to edit the stories including the date they're published (so hypothetically you could set a date for 1 year from now and then change it again for when she releases a new single).

This doesn't really apply to the UK as they were already available but she's added all the bonus/exclusive tracks (Mona Lisa, Put You In A Room, Girls Fall Like Dominoes etc.) to streaming services worldwide.

She says she's working on getting Chiraq up too and also the entirety of the Beam Me Up Scotty mixtape in the future too! I hope that applies to the UK wub.gif

It pays to be a fan of Nicki Minaj.

The “Bang Bang” rapper recently paid $1,069 to Wilbur Wright College on the Northwest Side to help Pedro Velazquez continue his studies there. The Albany Park resident is one of a few students who claim they received financial aid from Minaj after she announced an “impromptu payment spree” on social media in May.


“I sent her a tweet saying ‘Are you able to help me out with what I owe?,’ which was like $1,069. And I never thought she was going to see it, but I just tried. And then she did respond to me and I was shocked,” Velazquez, 27, told the Tribune. “She doesn’t know my situation, but if she was to know, I’m sure she would be really happy that she did that for me.”

Velazquez said he’s been a fan of Minaj since he heard her rapping on the “BedRock” remix nearly eight years ago, and he quickly became a “Ken Barb” — the name for male Minaj superfans. Velazquez said Minaj’s assistant reached out to him and set up the payment to Wright.

The money is a “huge help” since Velazquez is an undocumented immigrant, brought by his parents from Mexico to the United States as a 6-year-old. He said he has slowly put himself through school by working various jobs, thanks to the Obama-era initiative known as Deferred Action for Childhood Arrivals, or DACA. President Donald Trump announced last month he was ending the program — which has provided temporary work permits and deportation relief to some 800,000 people who came to the United States as children — and giving Congress six months to act.

Meanwhile, Velazquez is taking biology, philosophy and English classes this semester with the hopes of eventually becoming a physical therapy assistant.

“I didn’t want to be just working and not have an education, which is why my parents I’m sure brought me to this country, for me to get an education,” he said. “I didn’t want to waste the opportunity here, and so I wanted to make a better me.”

It's a bit like Taylor in that the things they do like this rarely reach the public and are so worth being written about.

Big love for her doing that - reminds me of last year where she said she'd pay for someones fees if they could prove they got straight A's.

This is SO off-topic but does anyone else think the person saying 'take off' at the beginning of Post Malone's "Rockstar" sounds JUST like Nicki?!?

7 years since her verse on Monster! It's nice to hear what she has to say about it on her Instagram:

"7 year anniversary of #Monster Kanye called me to tell me Jay put a verse on this song & that he was still deciding if he would put it on his album. Haha. It was like an hour long call where I tried to convince him to let the song stay on his album. He felt this verse would end up being the talk of the album. I said: YOU’RE KANYE WEST!!!! 💞 I became the first female rapper to perform @ Yankee Stadium on the JAY/Eminem stadium tour. When I saw him, Jay said: “when u got so nice”? I said: “I been nice”! Ha! Kanye, thank you for being the genius you are. You always put others first. I fought u every step of the way but it worked out. (He wanted me to add more of that growling monster voice and I felt it was over kill.) He wouldn’t give in. In the end, maybe he was right. Ha! - this song featured Barbie and Roman. Chyna was my stunt double in the video. (Due to her ASSets). Amber had spoken highly of me to Ye n pushed for him to meet with me. The rest is history.
Ye, Jay, Em...All 3 of them helped me in some way. Love"

Tbh the verse is SUCH a good one, I'm not surprised Kanye was worried it would be the talk of the album laugh.gif

Nicki wrote such a lovely post about 'Pink Friday' on her Instagram recently, as it's now been seven years since it was released!

QUOTE
7 years ago this debut was released on the same day as Kanye’s #MBDTF [which I also appear on]. He sold half a million first week. I sold 375K first week. PF went #1 a few weeks later on the Billboard 200, breaking a record for the 1st female to do it since Ms.Lauryn Hill. - After all his love & support, my mentor Lil Wayne couldn’t be on my debut album due to a gun charge in NY. That had me f***ed up @ the time. It’s now triple platinum and my final single off that album is almost DIAMOND. My fans have been the most loving, supportive, relentless people all over the world since b4 this album even dropped. Thank you. We’re about to do it all over again. Can’t wait to see you guys. Miss you so much. What was your fave off this album? 🦄 #RomansRevenge #RightThruMe #DidItOnEm #Moment4Life #Blazin #SuperBass #SaveMe #HereIAm #ImTheBest 🦄 ‼️‼️‼️ everyone gets hooks n songs already done now, all these songs I just named, (with exception of hook on super bass which I co wrote with ester) ‼️‼️‼️I not only wrote my rap, but I also wrote my own hooks.‼️‼️‼️I believe that’s why this album sounds so personal & honest.

Seriously?!

There was a question on pointless yesterday about Nicki! UK Top 40's with a word missing and it was something to do with money. Answer was Pound The Alarm which would have been a good answer albeit not pointless!

Posted by: MÿrtleSnow Jan 5 2019, 09:27 PM

Dat relevancy :')

I hope she has a good and healthy 2019. A break to enjoy her millions might do her some good I am starting to think.

Posted by: SGrey Jan 6 2019, 08:21 AM

I think she’ll just do what she’s always done and throw herself onto features.

Posted by: Botchia Jan 6 2019, 06:16 PM

I want the long overdue and deserved video for Majesty and then she can have a break for the rest of the year

Posted by: SGrey Jan 7 2019, 05:31 AM

I forgot about Majesty! ohmy.gif

Nicki has reportedly been claimed to be worth £85 million. Queen 👑👑
