A very blonde Nicki Minaj broke out her little black dress for the red carpet yesterday in New York City. The Harajuku Barbie, who joined country pop star Taylor Swift in accepting honors bestowed by Billboard, walked away with the coveted Billboard “Rising Star” Award in recognition of her debut efforts.
The accolade comes as the latest of many decorating the rising starlet’s trophy case. And, in addition to celebrating the warm reception of ‘Roman In Moscow’ (the first offering from her sophomore effort ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded‘), Minaj also celebrated news of her nomination for Best New Artist for the 2012 Grammy Awards.
Find out the femcee’s thoughts on that after the jump:

Nicki is doing SO well! Billboard Rising Star, Grammy nod, Barbie Deal With Mattle, Mac Campaign, Song with Madonna.
She’s worked hard and has a good team, and that’s great.
I do think the whole “era of gimmicks” is winding down, and if she slowly comes off of crazy hair/outifts all of the time she’ll have some staying power. I wouldn’t say she’s the best performer and I don’t like all the other “stuff” but she’s a hard worker with a lot of talent. GOOD for her!
Congrats Nicki. Hard work does pay off!
Nicki Minaj is looking like a 65 year old person.
What is this clown toy troll mess? A horror.
Basura Minaj. Can’t spell that tricks name without K.I.M. Pendeja
Basura Minaj can’t spell that’s tricks name without K.I.M. Pendeja basura
Poof be gone Basura Minaj can’t spell that tricks name without K.I.M. Pendeja basura
Why can’t she ever dress normal/politely?
She looks ridiculous. She looks like xtina- messed up.
Congrats to Nicki! Big fan but I agree with @AUNTIEJACKIE in terms of the “era of gimmicks.”
Nicki is truly talented, witty, & has a true sense of herself in terms of where she sees her career going in the future. However, I’m here for the music & I want the album that truly speaks.
MC Lyte- Lyte As A Rock
Lil’ Kim- Hard Core
Foxy Brown- Broken Silence
In other words, I want the CLASSIC that I know that she can deliver.
Nicki better soak all this up while she can cause in 3 years when her teeny bopper fans mature,that it’s for her career.
She looks like a man.
@SIERRA and YOU look like a hater! BYE B****
THESE PICTURES ARENT FLATTERING AT ALL, HER MAKE UP LOOK TERRIBLE JUST LIKE HER NEW SINGLE.
NICKI>>>>KRIMberly
Not great pics but she has done really well.
Hope she sings less on new album though i like “Save Me”
I expect her and Missy to bring some heat next year
congratz nicki keep doing you.
Please she looks crazy as usual! I’ll be glad when this chick and a few other’s (Justine Bable, Terrible Swift, Man Caca, Naked Perry) 15 minutes are up! We got it, the media thinks your “peachy”….blah, blah, blah..
