Nicki Minaj
Jul 18, 2011
Nicki Minaj is currently heating up the charts with her red hot single "Super Bass." Her debut studio album Pink Friday, released November 2010, became a commercial success, peaking atop of the U.S. Billboard 200 and being certified platinum by the Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) a month after its release. She became the first artist ever to have seven songs on the Billboard Hot 100 at the same time. Her first official single, "Your Love", reached number-one on the Billboard Hot Rap Songs chart, making Minaj the first female artist to top the chart unaccompanied since 2002. She also became the first female artist to be included on MTV's Annual Hottest MC List.
Starting in June 2011, Minaj has been supporting Pink Friday by serving as an opening act along with pop artist Jessie and the Toy Boys and Nervo on Britney Spears' sixth concert tour, the Femme Fatale Tour, in support of her seventh studio album, Femme Fatale. She also was featured on the official remix of Spears' track "Till The World Ends" along with Spears and singer Kesha, which charted at number 3 in the US in April 2011.
