Nicki Minaj Looks To Kanye West For Advice

 Nicki Minaj Looks To Kanye West For Advice

Nicki Minaj is certainly an up and coming powerhouse in the music world. And now she’s in the big leagues, getting advice from Kanye West! He does seem to like giving back to the world so maybe this is another way of Kanye helping out ;)

Nicki’s previous mentor was Lil Wayne, who signed her to his label, but seeing as how he spent 8 months in jail last year, he didn’t have time to spent with her. Then she met Kanye through a song they did together.
“When it came to me putting my album out, I was like, ‘I can’t have an album without Kanye. He has to be a part of it.
“He’s become my mentor, he gives me advice, he hits me (with contacts), takes random picturesoffline and says, ‘Oh this is a good picture of you.’ He’s really into fashion so he’s a good person to have a well-rounded conversation with.”
Must be nice for Nicki to already be at a stage of her career where she can say, “I want Kanye to be on this record,” and then actually get Kanye. He’s one of the biggest names in the industry! Not to mention he’s probably one of the biggest divos in the industry too.

Nicki Minaj: Your Love

Nicki Minaj Your Love

Nicki Minaj latest song “Your Love,” from the yet not named debut album has been premiered today, July 22, and if you see any familiarity between Uma Thurman’s “Kill Bill” then you are right as the video is inspired from the movie.

As MTV reported, “We wanted to have geisha themes, samurai themes, stuff like that. I wanted to tell a love story. It’s just kinda liking a guy, where he’s not really for you to like — the forbidden fruit — and me and this other girl happen to like him and we go to war.”

Your Love Video was shot in Los Angeles on July 4 weekend. The song, which resembles Annie Lennox’s “No More ‘I Love You’s’,” is the follow-up single to “Massive Attack.”
