Out of the people that have done something with Pepsi, I think I was probably the most influenced by the Beyonce commercial because I felt like this is a young black girl, early on in her career and she’s doing something so iconic and I never thought in a billion years that Pepsi would reach out to someone like me.

Fans will also be pleased to know that this commercial is one of two projects Minaj has landed with the company.

Later on in the year, she is reportedly set to unveil her very own beverage named ‘Pop‘ under the Pepsi brand.

This, months after releasing her sophomore album ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded‘- set to hit the 1 million copies sold worldwide mark by the first week of July.
