Rap-Up.com || Nicki Minaj Rings in 2013 in Las Vegas

Nicki Minaj ushered in 2013 in Sin City. The blonde bombshell shimmered in a Herve Leger Iman Foil Bandage Dress while hosting New Year’s Eve at PURE at Caesars Palace last night. She sipped champagne and took over the mic to count down to the new year with her friends and fans in the crowd.

Nicki has a big year ahead. She will make her “American Idol” judging debut beginning January 16. She is also set to launch a clothing line and release new music in the months ahead.

During an interview on the red carpet, Nicki revealed that she plans to shoot a video in the coming weeks for her Re-Up cuts “I’m Legit” with Ciara or “High School” featuring Lil Wayne.

Check out more pics and video from Nicki’s NYE party below.

@LMAO, how’s she taking it out on her fans? She’s working on new music and focusing on her career. Going on a twitter rant would be pointless. Clearly she’s putting her energies to work. Chill.

@Dro, Nicki has tweeted constantly while working on several albums. Tweeting doesn’t distract focus. These celebs use twitter strictly as a forum to market. Like Realtalk states, Nicki will be tweeting her butt off when its time to snatch dem dollars. #in2013investinYOURSELF

@LMAO, What does that have to do with anything? The fans still got her back and she’s giving us her to watch every week for the next few months and she got music cooking up so we’re satisfied. You tried it tho

@LMAO, She paid em dust and they still saying “werk Nicki”…she doesnt even look her fans way. She’ll be tweeting the dummies a week before American Idol airs. Nicki voice: Sorry I haven’t been tweeting but I need my Kens and Barbs to run out and buy my flourescent leggings and Barbie t-shirts and hurry back so you can watch American Idol. LOL! #NickiPimpsHerFans

@LMAO, But she didn’t get snubbed though!!! It all honesty as a STAN of Nicki’s I feel they shouldn’t of nominated it! RR just wasn’t that good, and I hope its a wake up call for Nicki. So you knows not to just go harder next time and stop rapping lazy like on Roman Reloaded. Now the Re-Up she hard!!! But on Roman Reloaded No! Just No!

@Black Friday, She doesn’t bleach her skin. In the last post for her fragrance she was BROWN. Lighting and makeup sweetie, get your facts straight. Was you there when she was bleaching her skin? No, right? Lol

@Tamar, Well, if it’s lighting, why doesn’t Fantasia, Jennifer Hudson, Viola Davis, etc. every look lighter.

Ryan Reply:
January 2nd, 2013 at 1:55 pm
@Justine, because they are dark skinned women and when they take pictures they are lighter than they are if you were to meet them in real life actually
Beyonce Ri and Nicki are light skinned/Carmel skinned girls and depending on the light what they are wearing make up etc they appear lighter than normal

@Tamar,

Were you there when she wasnt bleaching her skin? LMAO dumb argument.

Why would she use make up to look lighter though? Lighting can make you look lighter.. but not white honey. get it together!

@Wish A Bicth Would, but at least she didn’t go on twitter and rant about it she is growing up and hopefully the 3rd album shows it and brings her that Grammy she deserves plus that 5mill she got paid to host New Years at Pure will help her sleep a bit easier at night I know it would help me lol

Nicki look better than she normally does. But the blond and gold against her skin tone is not it. Darker hair would have been hott. Also she can toss the lipstick.

She’s looks so BEAUTIFUL.
I wish she would leave the stupid lace fronts somewhere else and bring the BANGS BACK. She looks much more natural and beautiful. This is her signature look. She needs to go back to her pink friday era look which was much better. No more lace fronts Onika.

And about twitter, yeah she hasn’t tweeted AND?
What about your favs that NEVER tweet you guys?!
Jealous? Stay that way.
Just because she stopped tweeting doesn’t mean she’s mad at her fans cause that would be VERY DUMB.
Doesn’t mean something has to be wrong either.
Now worry about your fav. Nicki good.

Nicki doesn’t bleach her skin but I can see how people would think that because she does seem lighter at times but in different post on here like the fragrance one when she was in Australia she is the normal skin tone so it has to be foundation, lighting or something of that sort plus

Anyways 5MILL for one night she better work

why people waste their times to post meaningless comments,i dont understand, it jus shows they care. why bother hate. she does NOT bleach, photos make celebs look lighter and the backgrounds the flash an all that seeing as their cameras are obviously more quality, BTW black peoples knees are a darker shade than their skin tone(u can check if you like), so yall chattin bullshit. she is the same tone in I am your leader one of her recent videos as her old videos. if it was a normal person u wont be goin on a mad one
