Update-Nicki Minaj and her fake hubby rapper Drake, just dropped another collaborative effort, Make Me Proud. The single will be featured on Drake’s sophomore album Take Care which is slated for a November 15th release.

Speaking of sophomore albums, Nicki reportedly only wants hit records. Can you blame her?! After Nicki’s mega success with Super Bass, the unsuspecting single that propelled debut album Pink Friday into another stratosphere. Nicki simply wants to triumph her previous success.

Her producer from Pink Friday, Florida producer Kane Beatz tells MTV News,

“She wants hit records every time and she wants to be creative. With Nicki, it’s more about getting the music right and leaving her the room to be creative and leaving her room to do her.”

“It’s crazy. We got one so far. She’s in L.A. goin’ crazy.”

So when will Nicki’s sophomore album drop?

“She just started, so she’s really picking her music and picking the songs. She’s real selective. She’ll pick all the beats before she even starts writing, so right now, we’re just getting music together, and it’s goin’ crazy right now.”

Earlier this week Nicki Minaj surprised YouTube sensation Sophia Grace Brownlee on Ellen DeGeneres and it was super adorable. That moment once again solidified the success of Super Bass. In the fickle game of rap, can Nicki Minaj do it again?

Drake has proclaimed his love for label mate Nicki Minaj time and time again – the least she could do is jump a track with him. Check out Make me Proud. Digging it?

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.
