Jesssie J:
I heard it and was like: “If I don’t record this, I’m an idiot.” I went in the studio that day and recorded it, sent it to Max Martin with some of my changes and obviously I put my vocal down on it. He phoned me and was like, ‘I want to get Ariana on it’, and I was like, ‘I think this is an amazing idea’. And then Nicki heard it and wanted to jump on it, so in an instant it was obviously the first single.

Minaj is featured on the cover of Fader magazine’s fall fashion issue. During a Q&A inside the issue Minaj is questioned about how creating pop music has changed her career.
I felt like my pop music made me have to retell my story. My credibility as an MC—I never thought I would have to explain that. I thought it was so evident that I belonged here [in hip-hop]. Looking back now, I love that I was pushed to reinvent myself because when I sit back and I really look, I need hip-hop, and hip-hop needs me.

Nicki Minaj interview
Seacrest interviews Minaj during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions her about her single Anaconda.
We were in the studio in L.A. I was in one room, they were in the other they said, ‘Okay, let’s see what we can do.’ And I walked back in the studio and I said, ‘Oh my God, this is exactly the feel I was going for’ because it was fun. I wanted to have fun, I wanted to have something for girls to dance to in the club, and to me it worked in every way possible.
Dazed cover
Minaj is featured on the cover of Dazed magazine’s autumn/winter issue. The issue features a double cover of Minaj, one a reality shot, the other a fantasy shot. Inside the issue Minaj poses for an 18-page photo shoot taken by photographer Jeff Bark.
Anaconda cover release
Minaj releases the cover art for her single Anaconda which samples Sir Mix-A-Lot’s Baby Got Back. The cover art features minaj wearing only a G-string, halter top and sneakers.
He (the photographer) was thinking that it may be too over the top, and I said, “Well you know, in the beginning of my career, I did pictures like that, I did photo shoots like that,” and I didn’t want to lose that sense of who I am. I feel like one of the people I look up to the most was Madonna, and she’s never stopped pushing the envelope. She’s never stopped taking risks, and I don’t ever want to stop doing that either.
So Bad video
Cam’ron releases the music video for his single So Bad ft. Nicki Minaj from his album Purple Haze directed by Antwan Smith .
Nicki is a professional. I sent her something for her album so she sent me something for mine and we shot the video. The video was actually shot over a year ago, so I just kept it in the cut and made sure it was time for it. But we did everything back-to-back. When I did stuff on her album, she did stuff for mine, so I just held onto mine until it was time, but it was cool working with her. She’s down to earth, she’s cool.
Wins five BET awards, talks of near death experience

The other day, literally I didn’t tell anybody this, I really thought I was about to die. Like, I was saying my prayers to die. And I didn’t even want to call the ambulance because I thought, ‘Well if I call the ambulance, it’s going to be on TMZ.
Minaj wins a total of five BET awards and says she is determined after the near death experience to just be herself no matter what others think.
Pills ‘N Potions single release
Minaj releases the single Pills ‘N Potions as the first single from her album The Pink Print.
I think everybody knows how obsessed I am with Jay Z. He’s always been my favorite rapper, him and Wayne, and he did such a great job of creating this Blueprint brand for male rappers I studied a lot of his Blueprint, in terms of being a mogul, I wanted to do that. I wanted to be like Jay Z. I felt like with what I’m doing, I want female rappers to be able to pattern themselves with what I’ve done one day. I think the album is so classic. It’s gonna feel so good and I think it will probably be something that female rappers look to as a Pink Print for years to come.
Onika
Minaj announces her 3rd fragrance Onika will launch July 11, 2014 on HSN.
Smells like angles in the garden of perfection.
Minajesty Exotic Edition
Minaj announces July 11 as the release date for perfume Minajesty Exotic Edition which will be released on the Home Shopping Network.
Pills N Potions
Minaj releases the official music video for Pills N Potions, directed by Diane Martel.
It’s been literally my most critically acclaimed single ever. Sometimes I get a beat or a hook and I just write what it tells me, what it feels like. What that felt like to me was forgiveness, you know, and just understanding that everybody gets mad, but when you love somebody, I feel like you’ll always love them. I don’t feel like there’s ever been somebody that I loved that I no longer love, I just may not be able to live with you or have you in my life, and that’s really what the song is about.
Quits American Idol
Minaj announces she is leaving American Idol.
Thank you American Idol for a life changing experience. Wouldn’t trade it for the world. Time to focus on the Music.
Nicki Minaj interview
Seacrest interviews Minaj during On Air With Ryan Seacrest and questions her about her single Pills And Potions.
It’s kind of like a tragic love story I just kind of feel like when I was working on the album, I started realizing how much things have changed, how much people change. And how people come in and out of your life I’ve just been reflecting a lot. I love that it has that feeling of ‘No matter what, I still love. There’s still love there.
