Nicki Minaj Added to Grammy Nominations Concert Lineup

Fresh off her two wins at Sunday’s AMAs, Nicki Minaj is gearing up for another big award show. The Pink Friday rapper has been added to the star-studded lineup for the “The GRAMMY Nominations Concert Live!! — Countdown to Music’s Biggest Night.”


The previously nominated Minaj and Katy Perry will each present during the one-hour CBS special, airing live on November 30 at 10 p.m. EST from the Nokia Theatre L.A. LIVE. The show will announce nominations in several categories for the 54th annual ceremony next February.

Usher will join Valerie Simpson of hitmaking duo Ashford and Simpson and Mike Stoller of the songwriting team Leiber & Stoller in a moving tribute to songwriters. Both lost their longtime songwriting partners, Nick Ashford and Jerry Leiber, this past year.

Other performers include Rihanna, Lady Gaga, Lupe Fiasco, Ludacris, Sugarland, and the Band Perry. LL Cool J will return as host.

Nicki Minaj Readies ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded’ for Valentine’s Day

Roman is getting his revenge this Valentine’s Day. Nicki Minaj has announced the title and release date for her next album.


Pink Friday: ROMAN RELOADED will serve as the follow-up to last year’s platinum-selling debut Pink Friday, which spawned the hit single “Super Bass.” It is slated for release on February 14, 2012.
The title is based off Nicki’s flamboyant alter ego Roman Zolanski, described as her gay male counterpart. He can be heard rapping on the Eminem-assisted “Roman’s Revenge” and Trey Songz’ “Bottoms Up.”
The Young Money raptress took to Twitter to inform her Barbz of the exciting news. “Pink Friday : ROMAN RELOADED will be released on Valentines Day, 2012. Heeeee’s baaaacccckkkkk,” she tweeted.
It’s unclear whether the project will be comprised of all new recordings or be a re-release of her debut with additional material.

The two-time AMA winner joined David Guetta in Los Angeles this week to shoot a video for “Turn Me On,” the next single off the French DJ’s album Nothing But the Beat.
