Nicki Minaj-Pink Friday Roman ReloadedShe came to hip-hop attention with a series of mixtapes featuring her risqué rhymes and rapid-fire delivery. But Nasty Nicki remade herself as a flamboyant pop artist on her bestselling debut album, Pink Friday, which included several star-studded duets. Appearing with Madonna at the Super Bowl and performing the controversial, exorcist-themed “Roman Holiday” at the Grammys only heightened her profile.

            Now, with her fondness for colorful wigs, over-the-top costumes and supersized eyelashes, Nicer Nicki is ready for her close up. Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded is a brand new collection featuring a diverse range of styles and guests such as Drake, Chris Brown and Lil Wayne. “I don’t ever want to be boxed in,” explains Minaj, who sums up her new disc with one word: “freedom.” Highlights include “Marilyn Monroe,” “Beez in the Trap” and the soaring, intergalactic anthem “Starships.” For versatile Minaj, now as much a singer as a rapper, the sky’s the limit.
