Rap-Up.com || Nicki Minaj Limited Edition Barbie Doll to Be Auctioned for Charity

It’s finally happened. Nicki Minaj has her own Barbie doll. Mattel has immortalized the Pink Friday raptress in plastic with a limited edition doll.

Billboard reports that Mattel will auction off the one-of-a-kind creation at CharityBuzz.com starting on December 7. The doll, which borrows its look from Nicki’s Pink Friday album cover, will be on display at Divine Design’s five-day gala at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills. Bidders can take a shot at owning their very own Barbie until December 19, with bids starting at $1,000.

Janet Jackson, Carol Channing, and Rachel Zoe have all had one-of-a-kind Barbies auctioned off at the event. All proceeds will benefit Project Angel Food, providing food for those affected by HIV/AIDS.

“Barbie is obviously a pop culture icon. She’s been in the spotlight for over 50 years, and strikes that chord with girls of all ages in terms of being representative of the times. And Nicki is a big part of pop culture and also huge within the fashion industry, as well as a big Barbie fan,” stated Barbie spokeswoman Stefani Yocky. “It’s really exciting for us that she’s been so generous to allow us to create this one-of-a-kind doll to support such an important cause.”

The “Super Bass” rapper, who is being honored with Billboard’s “Rising Star” award, is also working on expanding her Barbie empire. “With her team, we’re all working and in discussions on a fragrance deal,” said Mark Cheatham, a music agent at Creative Artists Agency. “We’re also in discussions with different apparel companies as well. We’re expecting that will make her a mainstream brand.”

@Joyams,

THANK YOU! Somebody with some sense!

If you bring up Kim everytime you talk about Nicki, you’re just proving they’re connected and Kim stays relevant without even doin’ anything!

Joyams. It ain’t too many like you though. I’ve seen that most Nicki fans just can’t give cred to Nick without jabbin’ Kim. Even when it ain’t a Kim post, they got to bring up Kim and how washed up she is…

…I wonder what the kids of the future will think of Nicki? I mean as big as Kim is, look at how much hate she gets and she pretty much did the same thing Nicki is doing right now…hmmmm

My comment wasn’t to attack you or anything. I hope no offense was taken.

@brainfood.com,

…I mean “as big as Kim was…

You can hate all you want, but you a plum fool if you don’t think Kim was a big deal in her day…why you think Nicki was inspired by her?

You gotta at least give Kim credit for inspirin’ Nick…even she admitted that.

That was low…but I guess you didn’t have to bend down too far since you were already down there, huh?

Since nobody schooled you, I will:

Kicking somebody when they’re already down just shows how low YOU are. Step. Up. We’s Free nah and that slave n!gga mentality is so 1800′s.

@Nahjee,

If she’s irrelevant, why did you bring her up?

I’ll give you a few seconds to scroll back up to see what I’m talkin’ about.

Did ya find it. Good.

Okay. You were one of the first ones to bring Kim up, but this is a Nicki post…huh?

I love how some of ya’ll like Nicki, but why do you keep bringin up Kim is she’s irrelevant? Dag. Even nicki don’t ride her as much as ya’ll…AND SHE’S AT LEAST MET HER!

Thank you Najee and all the Nicki fans that keep kim in they mouths! This chick ain’t even gotta drop an album, and ya’ll keepin’ her relevant! That’s power!

@MeloRockstarr, They didn’t say pop artist they said pop culture. Definition: Popular culture (commonly known as pop culture) is the totality of ideas, perspectives, attitudes, memes, images and other phenomena that are deemed preferred within the mainstream of a given culture.

@Malibu Barbie : Notorious K.I.M edition,

Don’t worry. Every generation does it.

It’ll happen to Nicki as well. And it’s not because she lacks talent…it’s because the younger generation don’t know how to give credit the to the one before. And if this one continues to be disrespectful to the ones before, you can damn sure believe they kids gon do the same. Who you think is watchin’ ya’ll? Other than the IRS, it’s the babies. You don’t show respect for the pioneers of what we enjoy today, and they gon do the same for the ones you look up to. Simple.

I don’t get it either. Even with all the beef, Nicki was classy enough to give credit to Kim…she has said in ample interviews that she was inspired by lil kim… but unfortunately, Kim didn’t take it.

BUT at least Nicki still gave credit though. I commend Nicki for that. It was classy. I just don’t get why her fans don’t do that…

…Nicki didn’t start in the game talkin’ about Kim or anybody like that. I think her fans just want to feed and breed negativity…
