Since catching the eye of the public in 2007, Nicki Minaj has found herself enjoying feats we doubt even she could have imagined on that infamous staircase.
So, in case the release of two Platinum albums, a world tour and a judging spot on ‘American Idol‘ wasn’t enough to blow her way, her fans have given her even more of a reason to feel good about her Pop standing this week.
Find out why below…
@nickiminaj‘s Starships has sold over 3.7 million downloads in the US. It’s the 5th top-selling song of 2012.
— Chart News (@chartnews) September 19, 2012
The above, if it isn’t already obvious, comes as epic news as it follows the single’s record for having spent the most consecutive weeks in the US Top Ten, upon its February 4th launch date.
As of July, the single has sold 721,000 copies in the UK and has been certified Platinum five times in Australia, where it peaked at #2.
Hopefully, the success of ‘Ships’ will encourage Minaj to give all of her numbers the promotional push they need to match this recent feat, to ensure singles like ‘Pound The Alarm‘ and ‘Va Va Voom’ reach their full commercial potential a la ‘Super Bass’.

everyone is moving on to Azealia banks and anticipating the return of Missy Elliott.

Lil’ Kim sold 5 million >RAP< albums in the US alone, how many albums have this flop bitch sold worldwide, despite all the Red-One ass-kissing she did?
And DEAD at that interview last track on her second album, where she mentioned in the meaning of "I'm the female Jay-Z".
I mean, ONIKA STOP!
And please don't tell me "she WILL soon cross that mark". If her career remains messy and shitty like that, it'll be over by 2013.

I didn’t know that Nicki Minaj’s so old. She’d better hurry up and make some cash now, because time is catching up. No one will care about Nicki Minaj when she turns into the 40′s, no one wants to see that bitch looking like a RuPaul’s Drag Race former contestant with a deformed ass and boobs rappping… I mean, mumbling about her fake ass and plastic boobs. Oh! I forgot, I’m being very generous about the “40 yo” thing, because as far as I know her career is already dead and buried, and that’s why she’s on American Idol.

Nicki Minaj currently has a net worth of over $60 million. Regardless if she sells albums or singles or not…she’s still one of the richest pop stars/rappers in the world. She’s STILL making money from her WORLD TOUR and her re-release that’s coming out soon. So that net worth is bound to rise even higher. All of you haters on this website are PATHETIC. You sit behind your cheap ass computer screens dragging down successful artists when they don’t meet your expectations. It’s sad, really. You should all RESPECT any artist or celebrity that has made a NAME for themselves because it’s something that NONE of US will ever do, including myself. Now run tell that.
