STR8 SNITCHIN’: DID DRAKE UNDERESTIMATE NICKI’S SUCCESS?!

STR8 SNITCHIN’: DID DRAKE UNDERESTIMATE NICKI’S SUCCESS?!

This just in…MTV sent over an email letting us know tomorrow at 7:54pm on MTV, Nicki Minaj will premiere her highly anticipated new video “Moment 4 Life” featuring her “boo”, Drake. The clip, which was shot in December in Los Angeles, features Young Money labelmate Drake and is rumored to show the pair playing up their “are they or aren’t they?” relationship with a kiss.
When MTV News’ Sway spoke to Drake on the set of “Moment 4 Life,” the MC compared the success of his and Minaj’s debut albums to Weezy’s opening-week sales of Tha Carter III, saying each subsequent project further cemented the collective’s status.

“I think it’s crazy that somehow, some higher power brought all these individuals together,” Drake said. “I remember being on the [tour] bus when Wayne played me Tha Carter III, which went on to sell a million copies in one week. Then it was Thank Me Later. It was this big pressure, and that went on to sell what it did.

“And now,” he continued, “to think of the girl that I used to ride the bus with — and that’s what she was to me: this girl that I rode the bus with. I was like, ‘Female rap?’ And I’m being dead honest with you. [I thought,] ‘Man, it’s been a while since there’s been a female rapper, and I’m curious to see how this works.’ It’s not that I didn’t believe. And she was probably looking at me like, ‘This Jew from Canada: I don’t know.’ ”

Definitely appreciate his honesty. But to have a label mate not fully believe in you…must kinda suck. Then again, most people didn’t believe Nicki was gonna make it. Now she’s platinum status…she’s a monster. Str8 talk, I’d more hype to see “Roman’s Revenge”. #imjustsayin
