Rap-Up.com || Nicki Minaj Teases ‘Roman in Moscow’ Video

Nicki Minaj doesn’t plan on holding back on her sophomore album. Fresh off the release of her buzz single “Roman in Moscow,” the Young Money rapper shared why the rough-and-rugged cut is the “wackest thing” on the LP and spilled details about the video.

“‘Roman in Moscow’ is like a teaser to Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, which will drop on Valentine’s Day,” she told MTV News. “When I say it’s a teaser, it’s like a trailer to the movie, it’s like setting the stage and I just wanted to touch the surface. It’s the wackest thing on Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded.”

Revealing that a video for the fiery cut will be shot “real soon,” Nicki, who is nominated four times at the 54th Annual Grammy Awards, wouldn’t disclose what exactly went down in Russia, but did say that the visuals starring her alter ego Roman Zolanski will explain all.

“Well, he was there [in Moscow] secretly because [alter ego] Martha wanted him to go there, so they put him in this thing with monks and nuns; they were trying to rehabilitate him,” she explained. “But I can’t tell exactly what happened, you’ll just see it in the video format, but let’s just say he got out of there.”

This whole alter ego thing is a bit over board now,now she’s talking about Martha ,she’s taking this a bit too serious,this might be a little far fetch but she might have multiply personality disorder…..the way she’s speaking about this is very weird

@Redchainsaw, I use to think she did, since she started making them up because of her bad childhood, but a person with MPD doesn’t have control over which personality they are, and her alter egos have changed over the years.

@yun9reezy,Nicki isn’t insane nothing is wrong with her that,s her angle,just like Eminem on some of is albums back in the day,on the other hand even if Nicki was ill,she is using her handicap/hilness,to make a living to work like normal people,instead of sitting around feeling sorry for her self,just like some one with no legs from the knee down,is still running and winning races in track and field,with Artificial Legs…just saying.

You put out a Buzz single to get feedback to see which direction is best to go in, If everyone like yours Buzz single your prepare your 1st Single like the buzz single if they don’t you try something else thats why she put on “Roman in Moscow” and everybody loves it since its sitting at #10 on iTunes, lmao.

Personally Ive heard better from Nicki, but she did say it was just a “buzz single” therefore it did exactly what it was set out to do. Fans wait in anticipation and haters STFU
