Nicki is very smart. That's one of the reasons why I like her. Many people bash her lyrics and substance but she's very bright and has talent, she's just figuring out her image. She's also pretty down to earth when she's not in character. I hope this story is true, I already know she didn't sign with Medina, but I hope she did or is in the process of getting rid of Diddy's dumba**. I can't stand him. He has ruined every single music artists’ career. It was a shame when he was managing DK correctly and the nwhen everyone exposed Cassie for being a talent less little girl, he stopped promoting DK and tried to save Cassie's wacka** and it didn't work. Nicki has worked so hard to get where she is and has managed to get good publicity and perform at a few big events or TV shows, but she needs to step it up more with appearances, performances, magazines, and events.
