Is there any stopping Nicki Minaj?
The answer to that question depends on who you ask.
For, while her naysayers would have you believe she is currently on her fourteenth minute of fame, her fans have a never ending stream of reasons to defend their belief that that notion is anything but true. And today saw another reason added to that list.
She is to share the stage with Pop icon Prince at the launch event for Versace for H&M.
Full story below…
According to Women’s Wear Daily, the one time waitress is to deliver a fantastical performance at the high profile event which takes place on November 8th in New York City.
Expected to perform cuts from her debut album ‘Pink Friday‘, she will enjoy the company of ‘Darling Nikki‘ maestro Prince who will treat attendees to a post show rendition of some of his greatest hits.
On the event, Donatella Versace explained:
To have my friend, the great, the amazing, the one and only Prince and the extraordinary Nicki Minaj both perform at the event, will create exactly the feeling of joy and glamour I want this partnership to express’
Well done Nicki.
For, as if watching her debut album outsell Rihanna‘s ‘Loud‘ wasn’t enough, this will be sure to cement her status as the breakthrough act of the last year.
Let’s just hope Lil Kim doesn’t feel too bad about not being invited to perform, seeing as she has spent the last decade pretending that she and Donatella are the closest of friends.
Again, well done.
Your thoughts?

The world has officially gone to hell. I don’t believe it! This is proof that if you have a big, fake ass, some half decent rhymes, and a gimmick you can make it. #fail

What does Lil Kim have to do with this news? That’s why Nicki will remain Kim’s shadow, because you all can’t keep her name out your filthy as mouth. Like Nicki copy and pasting her entire style wasn’t enough.

Her album has not outsold Rihannas. Maybe you’re talking about in the US but that’s irrelevant as Rihanna has sold 6 million worldwide and Nicki barely 2 million.
And as for Prince…no words since I respect the mans artistry I’ll keep my comment to myself about this performance.

The fact you have to mention Lil’ Kim in every nicki minaj post speaks VOLUMES.
Lil’ Kim has already played her part in this game so stop comparing her to her new generation’s CLONE and you dont know who kim is friends with so fuck you talking about ??
Kim is close friends with alot of designers such as : Alexander McQueen , Marc Jacobs + Donatella Versace .. just because nicki the lil kim clone has been asked to perform dont mean shit.. if they asked kreayshawn to perform would kreayshawn be crowned queen of rap????
Nicki basically patterned herself after KIM to get to where she is and y’all still dont wanna show the originator any respect.. This music game especially hip hop is dead. totally.. Copycats,Liars,Clowns and people with ZERO talent and weird fashion sense MAKE IT. while the talented and naturally beautiful sit on the sidelines.. Nicki Minaj will be an afterthought in 2-3 years mark my words. Vanilla Ice was HOT he had a multi plat 1st album. Milli VANILI was hot.. sold millions WHERE ARE THEY NOW ????? exactly.. gimmicks NEVER last.. Rihanna has a good promotional team behind her thats y shes still visible in this game.. same with Minaj .. atleast kim kept it real and hip hop with no internet or itunes and STILL SLAYED. an ORIGINAL BITCH. never a disrespectful and shameless COPYCAT !

Go ahead on, Darling Nicki! She’s working with the legends…. I’m sure if Michael Jackson were still here she would have spit a few bars for his new album. Michael Jackson always reached out to the hip hop stars. I’m sure he would have reached out to her.
Nicki is moving on up! Go girl!!
@ TGJ – why even mention Rihanna (who is a major artist and force to be reckoned with AND Nicki’s friend) and Lil Kim?? *smh* at the attempt to throw shade. Always gotta grind salt into the wound.

They say that dreams come true and am now a believer of the saying cos Nicki is just like a dream come true.Who would have believed that a young woman from the ghetto will make it this far without compremise.Definitely God is God in your case cos he has rised you from the dunghill to the mountains.i remember those times when you are still trying to make it and when asked who you will like to work with , you mention these legends,now look is all reality.Iam so happy for you and beleive me you are just starting to ascend and the sky is your stepping stones.Do you and God will always rewatd all your efforts.those of are behind the stage reaching the Heavens on your behalf.Bless you ONIKA.

@ Tina awwww poor baby. Still hurt that Nicki is slaying and shitting on your fav, huh? You’ll be alright.
Anyway, Go Nicki! Like I said she’s performing with members of the 58 club. Madonna (born in 1958) and now Prince (born in 1958). Sigh, if only Michael were here He would have been next. Nicki just won’t let up, will she?
