Nicki Minaj Hopes Her Album “Opens Doors For All Of The Girls Everywhere”

As Nicki Minaj gets ready to release her first studio album, ‘Pink Friday’ in another couple of months (November 23rd) she talked to V103′s Greg Street about the album.

She told Street that she gets that whether her album is successful is not just important to her career but to the careers of other female rappers:

“They won’t look to sign other female rappers because they’ll say, ‘Her buzz was so crazy and if she couldn’t do it, then no one can do it.’ And I don’t want that to happen, so I’m doing this as well for all the girls…. I hope that with the success of the album—because I know it will be successful, I believe it will be successful—I hope that this opens doors for all of the girls everywhere.”

She also says she hopes other women will support her and see her success as a win for female rappers… “Even as far as I’ve come right now, it’s a testament in my mind,” she said. “So I hope the female rappers will understand how big it is, just for our culture, that the album does well.”

She also talked about the impact Lil Wayne’s jail time has had on her and the Young Money crew. “He didn’t deserve to go in in the first place, and it’s kind of crazy how much of a void it’s been without him,” she stated. “We really didn’t realize that Wayne is the glue that holds Young Money and Cash Money together, I feel, so I’m just very thankful that he’s finally coming home.”
