Nicki Minaj brings her rebellious alter ego Roman Polanski along for the ride on her sophomore album, ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded’.

In late September at the iHeart Radio Music Festival, Nicki said this about her sophomore album,

“All I can say is that Roman will definitely be a humongous part of the follow-up to Pink Friday. I can’t talk about anything else that has to do with the sophomore album.

Several days after the American Music Awards where Minaj won two awards in the Hip Hop category, she and boss Brian ‘Birdman’ Williams have a lot to say.

On Twitter, the Super Bass singer revealed,

“U know what??? There’s been a change of plans barbz. I’m announcing the name and date today. How do I get on ustream???” Nicki added, “Its only right to announce it on the anniversary of Pink Friday right barbz???”

“Pink Friday : ROMAN RELOADED will be released on Valentines Day, 2012. Heeeee’s baaaacccckkkkk.”

Earlier in the day Birdman revealed to Billboard on whether a single will hit the airwaves before the years out,

“Maybe this year? I don’t know,” Birdman said. “We’re really thinking it out. But she’s in the studio, and we’re looking real soon, because she’s ready to go and we’re ready to go with her.”

Adding some more good news to her plate, Nicki will be awarded the ‘Rising Star’ award at the sixth annual Women in Music event held by Billboard in New York City on December 2nd. Nicki said of the honor,

“I am deeply honored to be recognized by Billboard,” Minaj said in a statement. “My nation of Barbz and I have come a mighty long way; yet we are nowhere close to where God will take us. Sit back and enjoy the ride.”

Congrats to Nicki Minaj.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
