In reply to Nicki is queen.

concerning the current state of sales and acts from major labels not sellng more than her independently, she seems to do quite well... not even mentioning that even with her low sales she is making more money than most of the other artists,since it's all hers...

sure,she is not the big seller as she used to be, but I wouldn't call her a flop. She does what she likes to and is able to live a good life off of it...
