Gossip Pics: Nicki Minaj On Set Of "Starships" Video

Well, well, well. It looks as if Nicki Minaj will be showing off her massive curves in her newest video for "Starships".

Melanie Fiona Graces "Vibe Vixen" Cover

In fact, Melanie Fiona gets up close and personal in her interview with "Vibe Vixen" as she talks about her very first heartbreak, hitting a low in her career and the struggle she has gone through just so she can get her name on the map. So find out what Melanie Fiona had to say as well as check out some exclusive photos from her spread when you click on the "Read More" button below:

On her first heartbreak:
The first cut is the deepest. I had a boyfriend when I was 16 and he was a jerk, but I loved him. It was before I put out my first album, when I was recording the first album, and it was right after I got off the Kanye West [Glow In The Dark] tour in 2008, and I was devastated. I was absolutely devastated because that was like the first crazy-stupid love I’ve ever been in my quote-unquote adult life. I actually made the decision to end it because I decided that I had gone back and forth enough.

On her struggle with her career:
My team and I worked so, so much harder than artists now. [They are] like, 'Hey, I’m a superstar. I’m gonna make a YouTube video, and it’s gonna get eight gazillion views, and I’m gonna be famous, and I’m gonna end up on every TV show!' Meanwhile, I’m busting my ass just to get spoken about on radio and television. I appreciate the process I went through to be honest, and I actually feel bad for the people who don’t have to go through that process because they get hit with a harder blow when it doesn’t work. I think that they create the one-hit wonder phenomenon rather than the career artist.

On hitting a low in her career:
It got pretty low for me. I started to have a lot of emotional turmoil with my mental state of mind and my body 'cause I was exhausted. People don’t really understand what an artist really has to go through. It’s such an intense schedule; one day I’m in L.A., the next day I’m in Switzerland, the next day I’m in Italy and the next day I’m back in L.A. Mind you, I’m performing in that time in between, I’m meeting people, I’m talking and, you know, I’m on a different schedule. I came back off of the Alicia Keys tour, and I just hit the wall. Like, straight-up, I hit the wall. I crashed; I said to my team, 'I’m no good to anyone right now. I need to recover,' and it really affected my confidence level in my approach to my job, my mind when it came to everything around me. I started to victimize myself in a way and it's because when your body is not healthy, it really does produce negative emotions and energy and so.

Nas Talks Ghostwriting For Will Smith & Stepping To Tupac!!

One of my favorite Queens artists has got to be Nas. He's lyrical, has been consistent since the 90's and has a brand new joint out titled "The Don" that bumps in my vehicle on a continuous basis! But aside from what's known to the masses about Nas, I bet you didn't know that Nas had beef with Tupac at one point in time. And I can almost bank on the fact that you didn't know he was ghostwriting for Will Smith. Hell!! Even I didn't know Nas was doing all that!

Anywho, on March 16th, Steve Stoute interviewed the Queens bred rapper at the "SXSW Music & Media Conference" at the Austin Convention Center. The two talked about various subjects such as the ones listed above and also talked about their own business relationship that had failed at one time.
