Viacom enlists Rap royal Nicki Minaj to aid in its ‘VMA‘ promo efforts this month, calling on the star to shoot a number of ads launched to build momentum for the award show before it airs live on MTV!

How she fares in these commercials? Pretty well, showcasing her humorous side “Dave Skylark’s Very Special VMA Special” alongside Iggy Azalea, and teasing her performance at the ceremony in a 21 second piece billed ‘Nicki Minaj Wants Her TV.’

Why these couldn’t have come at a better time for the lyricist? Her new single ‘Anaconda‘, which has helped score yet another chart record before the release of its supporting music video!

‘Pink’ promo below…


On her new ‘Billboard’ record, the publication explains:

Jessie J, Ariana Grande and Nicki Minaj’s “Bang Bang” drops 1-2 in its second week, selling 141,000 (down 39 percent).

Minaj makes a second appearance in the top three, as her new solo single, “Anaconda,” bows at No. 3 with 141,000. She is the first lead act to have two concurrent songs in the top three of the chart since the Sept. 22, 2012 list.

      Wow you are so mad that Nikki is bringing the noise. You can’t stand the fact Nikki is doing better than your plastic face, 40 year old pressed, washed-up, no music writing, ugly ass lil kim. MY question to you is, is Kim working with Diddy? cause if she was all that he would have her with an album out that was the s*** and touring, but if she is not then that should let you know ani’t nobody checking for Kim. Congrats Nikki keep making it happen cause these pressed bum b****’s will always be hating.

      • CATFISH CAREY August 14, 2014

        LOL YOU IDIOT I DONT STAN FOR LIL KIM BUT IM GLAD YOU DECIDED TO WASTE THAT RATHER PATHETIC PARAGRAPH ON ME

    • FAF August 14, 2014

  6. THE VOICE August 14, 2014

    ATTENTION IGGY FANZ:
    STAY MAD

    I cant wait until she announces tour date & album date.

    She may want to move album date up unless she has some super special promo plan.

    I am so tired of Iggy on urban radio.
    Please buy a clear channel & radio one deal Nicki!

    • Fancy BISH August 14, 2014

      I’m not mad…Nicki reopened a market for female rappers to thrive…Lil Jon, Pharrell, Timbaland, and Irv Gotti are all mentoring different female rappers…Barbz should be happy, cause there’s no inspiration and influence if its wack…in other words, Kanye can say he’s an influence and inspiration because Drake is dope and successful…if everything you influence is garbage, then one must look in the mirror…BYE 😉

      • exposing posers August 15, 2014

        But my thing is why they bypass over all them hustling black female rappers who really have a passion for the genre and can actually rap? That’s my issue. Not saying whites can’t but its a struggle for female rap and if they let Iggy come in for her to get number 1’s why they couldn’t at least give those rappers a chance to shine.

  7. Fancy BISH August 14, 2014

    PLEASE let me say this without the claws, lacefronts and fades being scalped lol 😉

    Nicki and Iggy have 2 songs EACH on Billboard’s Digital Songs chart Top 10…CRAY
    Iggy and Nicki have 5 SONGS in the Top 10 of the Rap Songs chart…CRAY CRAY
    Fancy is #1 on the Rap Songs chart for a 17th consecutive week, Black Widow is #2, Anaconda is #4, No Mediocre is #6, and Pills N Potions is #8….Becky G is #3 with Shower, making females the top 4 spots on Rap Songs! CRAY SLAY! 😉
    Missy holds the record for the longest running #1 with 18 weeks for Hot Boyz…Iggy might tie next week…
    😉

    • anaconda August 14, 2014

      None of Iggy’s are solo tho, both of Nicki’s are. Iggy is yet to achieve a solo top 50.

      • Fancy BISH August 14, 2014

        Here we go already…BISH, I know that…cool your c****** lol 😉

      • Overdose August 14, 2014

        wheres Nicki #1 hit tho?

    • Bey-Minaj August 14, 2014

      I wonder, when Nicki does get that #1 what will be your next jab…Mayweather.

      And oh Fancy Bish, the reason I shade your fave so much is because she has yet to gain a top 40 hit by herself. She needs features cuz she can’t sing for lick. Plus u come at Nicki on da regular even though all Iggy has over Nicki is a #1

      • Fancy BISH August 14, 2014

        I come at Nicki on the regular? lol, dig up my posts and you’ll see the only song I thought was pure garbage is Anaconda…I liked her verse on Flawless AND I said that after I see the visual and performances for Bang Bang, I’ll probably like it (I had to do the same for Lady Marmalade). I try to be as nice as I can, but Barbz have a problem keeping it all the way cute lol 😉 Didn’t I just post something nice? lol, I mean damn, I could have left Nicki out…ya girl doesn’t have a classic album either, and she’s in a sales and quality decline (2010 vs. 2012 songs)…that’s all…I’ve never dissed her looks, swag, personality, anything…like I said, dig up my posts and you’ll see 😉

    • exposing posers August 15, 2014

      Them aint no rap songs on the rap chart. Becky G. Hahaha. Iggy. They really trying though. Just giving these b****** stuff while all these real female rappers cant even get a chance. Smh. Whats so classic about iggy who didn’t even write her s***. Real rap heads don’t listen to iggy and acknowleged her or becky g. Yall silly. Stay in ya lanes

  8. Molly August 14, 2014

    • Your faves stans for me August 14, 2014

    • Rosie August 14, 2014

      Stop hiding behind Icki and Rihanna and worry about your real fave who hasn’t seen the inside of any chart, albums or singles, whatsoever since May.

  13. Stephy August 14, 2014

    This songs is annoying as hell & terrible! But, she betta slay with the looks & video & performances. I just like looking at her thats it. Her music does nothing for me AT ALL!

  14. Your faves stans for me August 14, 2014

    I have my cable cut off at the moment plus if i did have it on i’m pretty sure i wouldn’t be watching it anyways all these artists and (i use this term loosely) we today just don’t do it for me none at all what so ever i never understood why people ever like these basic manufactured media hype poopstars the majority of your faves can’t sell worth a damn anyways and the few that can fake their own sells. have fun watching the #VMLames .

  15. Rosie August 14, 2014

    Too bad it was with the worst song of the year!

  16. BOOBIE August 14, 2014

    Yassssss Queen Nicki SLAY!!!!!!!!!!

  17. Nicki is queen August 15, 2014

    SLAYY

  18. exposing posers August 15, 2014

    I can tell half of yall don’t even know how rap and hip hop started. This song is like an ode to 80’s rap. Yall be thinking yall know s***. But Nicki can flip and do 90’s rap and rap now and pop rap and what? Gotta respect it. Get like her.
