After speaking on “selling out,” Nicki Minaj unleashes the cover to her upcoming sophomore album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded due out April 3.

PREVIOUS: Nicki Minaj – Roman Reloaded f. Lil Wayne

Originally, I was gonna slap Wayne with the RAoF stamp for having the nerve to rock $1MM Beats By Dre headphones to a damn basketball game. But then I thought about the “jeggings-show” and figured we’ve just lost him as a human period. Anyways, when he’s not making out with Nicki Minaj or rocking ridiculous headphones, Wayne plans on launching his own signature shoe. No word on which brand it will be, although Nike and Reebok are out and there are hints of it being Supra. *shrugs… I’ll stick to my Chucks. And if you’d like to see more…

Nicki Minaj gives her all as she performs “Moment 4 Life,” “Turn Me On,” “Starships,” and “Super Bass” at the NBA All-Star Game. After the jump, catch Mary J Blige perform the national anthem and Pitbull, Chris Brown and Ne-Yo’s performance at the Halftime show.

After premiering her latest track with her Young Money label boss Lil Wayne on the Funkmaster Flex show, Nicki Minaj called into Flex to clear up talk of selling out, new music and more. Hear the entire interview below.

With her Boss bringing up the rear, Nicki gets back to rapping on the title track to her upcoming Sophomore effort, dropping April 3rd. Shouts to MyPinkFriday.

PREVIOUS: Nicki Minaj’s VIBE Magazine Spread

As we’ve known since V-Day, the pop princess landed the latest cover of VIBE. Check a quote below and hit the jump for her spread.

Before I started working on Roman Reloaded, I was thinking about that. And I realized it’s all such a natural transition. I am running with new looks now, but I didn’t plan on it. I’m always switching it up, so when I finally finished the tours and I came home and I relaxed, I just started feeling a certain way. And depending on my mood is when I change my hair up. So the mood that I’m in right now, it caused me to change my hair and change the style a bit too. And it just happens to coincide with the new album. But it wasn’t something that we said, ‘Hey, new album coming out we have to reinvent ourselves,’ because everyday is a reinvention.

Nicki Minaj drops a verse on her “Super Bass” songwriter Ester Dean’s latest leak “Gimme Money.” Definitely a lot different from this. Nah, not really. Rap-Up.

PREVIOUS: Peter Rosenberg’s Opinion On Nicki Minaj | Nicki Minaj – Dirty Money (Unreleased Video)

Let’s be real: most of the folks here have lost faith in Onika’s music since she made the transition from “female emcee” to “pop star.” In my opinion, it was only a matter of time anyway; her sound always leaned toward the TRL generation than the D&D All-Stars state of mind. So now with her “Ryan Seacrest” record “Starships” out, Hot 97′s Peter Rosenberg took the time out of his show to divulge his thoughts on it. I expect your thoughts to flood the c-section as well.

An unreleased clip of Nicki Minaj has surfaced of a freestyle over Terror Squad’s 2004 track “Yeah Yeah Yeah.” This is definitely a break from all the crazy outfits and wacky performances.

PREVIOUS: Nicki Minaj Plans To Dethrone Jay-Z

Nicki Minaj is gunning at Jay-Z for the throne. In April issue of Allure Magazine (out on newsstands March 20) the Young Money barbie plots taking Jay-Z’s spot on top. “I had a little conversation with Jay-Z at the Victoria’s Secret fashion show,” said Nicki to Allure. “He said, ‘Congratulations on all your success.’ And I was like, ‘Yeah, I’m coming for you. I’m coming for your spot, Mr. Mogul.’” She’s got a long way to go, having not even appeared on Forbes’ 2011 Hip-Hop Cash Kings List, yet.

We got a preview of the Wale/Nas track the other day, now we get a sneak peak at track-three off Tyga’s Careless World (due out next Tuesday). Shouts to Nav.

Nicki is the next contestant on the February/March issue of VIBE magazine. I’ll leave the commentary up to the c-section..

I felt like I had something to prove to everyone who said a female rapper could not make an album unless she was talking about her pussy. And so I went above and beyond to prove that I could not talk about sex and not talk about my genitalia and still have a successful album. And I proved that. And now my time for proving things to my critics is over. I don’t really need to prove anything to anyone else anymore.

Point proven.
