Congrats to Nicki Minaj who is making a name for herself as a solo artist. Nicki, who has had feature singles chart in a few countries, finally has a #1 with her name on it. Here is an interview that Nicki did with MTV on the set of her video.
“I was not planning on putting the song out at all,” Nicki told MTV on set of her video, looking more toned down than usual while wearing a red Geisha outfit and black wig. (Her single’s cover art also shows a more subdued side to the rapper.) As what happens to most tracks, “Your Love” was leaked on the Internet, and Nicki wasn’t too happy. “I went and listened to it [online] 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.” (MTV)Nicki thanks her fans via twitter:
25-year-old Queens, New York-raised rapper Nicki Minaj earns her first No. 1 on Rap Songs, as "Your Love" surges 4-1. The song, which samples "No More 'I Love You's'," a No. 23 Hot 100 hit for Annie Lennox in 1995, is the first Rap Songs No. 1 by a sole lead female artist, and by a female rapper, since Lil' Kim led with "Magic Stick," featuring 50 Cent, for five weeks beginning June 14, 2003.
