Rap-Up.com || Nicki Minaj Unveils ‘Pink Friday’ Fragrance

Nicki Minaj is expanding her portfolio with her first fragrance. After much anticipation, the platinum rap diva has unveiled the title and bottle design.

“Pink Friday” borrows its name from her 2010 debut album. The bottle features a bust of the “Starships” rapper wearing a pink wig and “Nicki Minaj” chain.

She has teamed up with Give Back Brands LLC, the same company behind Justin Bieber’s successful “Someday” fragrance, to launch the perfume in department stores at the end of September. While catering to her mostly female fan base, she is confident that her male fans will also like it.

“I am so excited about my fragrance debut, and am proud to partner with Give Back Brands for such a personal project,” said Nicki. “I have always been a huge fan of great fragrances; this is yet another extension of my creative expression and I can’t wait to share it with the world. I designed this scent and bottle with my Barbz in mind; I know they will love it!”

The hip-hop superstar is involved in all aspects of the brand, including product development, packaging, and advertising. “Signing Nicki Minaj was a simple decision; her talent and extensive reach present a platform with tremendous global opportunity,” added Paul West, Co-Founder and Chief Executive Officer of Give Back Brands.

When asked what it smells like, the Young Money rapper told one of her Barbz, “Like angels playing.”

Nicki previously released her own nail polish collection with OPI Nail Polish and limited edition lipstick with M·A·C Cosmetics.

She is also working on her own Harajuku Barbie-inspired clothing line and is in final talks to join the judging panel on “American Idol” alongside Mariah Carey.

@LadyGagaFan, Y’all act like Lil’ Kim was the only female rapper. Kim wouldn’t have been able to come up with Lisa “Left Eye” Lopes and those before her. Left Eye was rapping about sex from a female’s perspective long before Kim showed up. And she wore colored wigs to different public events too. Nicki has clearly been influenced by all the female rappers who have come before her, including Kim. But Kim is different in one aspect. She feels that she is the center of the universe and needs to be constantly reminded of how popular she once was and be thanked for it. And wtf is Lady Gaga supposed to be? I mean, she literally took Madonna’s “Express Yourself” and just rewrote lyrics to it to get “Born This Way.”

@tbozfan10, You BIG DUMB AS*, Lil Kim and Left Eye were friends (hints the “Ladies Night” single). Left Eye never wore colored hair when TLC 1st came out. If you were a REAL fan you would no during TLC’s 1st album Left Eye NEVER wore colored hair. Either she wore her hair in a ponytail, or she wore one of those big hats. And TLC PROMOTED “SAFE SEX” they never talked about the things Lil Kim talked about.

Nicki was clearly influenced by Lil Kim and you b*tches just can’t accept it. What other female rapper wore colored hair and had a “Barbie” theme besides Lil Kim? NONE!
TLC came out in 93, and Junior Mafia came out in 94, so technically they were around at the same time. KNOW YOUR HISTORY BEFORE YOU TRY TO SPEAK IT.

LMFAO, you delusional cunts always try to make it seem like everything Gaga does is original. When everything she’s done has already been did by the ORIGINAL Queen Of pop herself MADONNA. You’re all just a bunch of bitter ass haters and mad because Nicki is winning while you live off a month-to-month paycheck waiting on your foodstamps to come in. Get a damn life.
