Not only is she the newest member of young money, but she's young money's first lady.Lil’ Wayne recently announced the deal in a statement saying, “I am honored to have Nicki Minaj as Young Money’s First Lady. She is a star.” "To say I'm excited would be an understatement. It's validation. It's proof. It's empowerment. I represent every little girl in a hood near you,” Nicki added in the statement. Per her contract with Young Money/Universal Motown, she’ll be keeping all the benefits of her 360 deal. Basically, she owns the rights to her endorsements, merchandising and publishing.Much like Drake, she built a following for herself by distributing mixtapes, and she thanked her original fan base and the newcomers for their love.
“To everyone that supported me two years ago when I was on underground mix-tapes and DVDs and to the people that only caught on two weeks ago, I say thank you,” Nicki said. “Be proud of yourself. You've given girls all around the world the permission to change the face of female rap." Her as-yet untitled debut album should drop sometime in 2010. via(allhiphop.com)
