You do realise Nicki Minaj is actually a musical theatre actress called Onika Maraj, and has been on the off-Broadway scene since 2002?

Also, she released the mixtapes because Young Money were the only record label interested in signing her, for her rapping. Hip hop naturally works best for rap. Now she's established, she does the music she wants.

On first listen, I thought it was awful but now I absolutely love it! Great choice for the first single.

I just hope the majority of Roman Reloaded will include tracks where she goes hard like Roman's Revenge, Roman In Moscow etc. which is what I prefer but I do still love her more commercial tracks like Super Bass and Starships.

Gutted :'(”

What?

Why on earth would you be hurt? It's a SONG. If you don't like it - don't listen to it. Nicki owes you nothing. I really dislike this complete and utter "stan" mentality. If you like the music, buy it, if you don't... don't buy it. Artists evolve and make different kinds of music.

Debuted at #16 on UK charts. Looks like it'll be sticking around - depending on how much of an influence BRITs have on the charts, it could be Top 10 next week, along with her other track Turn Me On.

Seeing as both aren't officially UK singles, it's all rather impressive.

Debuts at #9 in the US. It will likely drop a few places next week, but then rapidly jump back up, as promo kicks off on Sunday.

In the UK, this should be Top 10 this week too, along with Turn Me On (which is also from Roman Reloaded).
