Young Money Record’s rapper and singer, Nicki Minaj was Wednesday, November 23rd, 2011, named as Billboard‘s 2011 Rising Star, owing largely to the global success of her ‘Pink Friday‘ album.
The artist, who made music history earlier this year by becoming the first artist ever to have seven songs on Billboard’s Hot 100 singles, took advantage of the spotlight occasioned by the announcement to confirm her next album ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded’ which is set for release on February 14, 2012 to her numerous fans on popular micro-blogging site, Twitter.
According to Billboard’s editorial director, Bill Werde, expressing excitement at the New York Native’s success, he stated ‘Nicki Minaj has established herself as a force in hip-hop and pop music, and we’re thrilled to recognize her accomplishments over the past year’. Minaj, 28, had topped charts recently with hits such as ‘Your Love’, ‘Super Bass’, and ‘Fly’ featuring pop star Rihanna.
She is also the fourth recipient of the award, following Jazmine Sullivan in 2010, Lady Gaga in 2009 and Colbie Caillat in 2008, and will join country music star Taylor Swift, who was named Woman of the Year, to collect the award at the annual Billboard Women in Music event in New York on December 2, 2011.
