The queen of hip-hop herself, Nicki Minaj, had her Queen Radio show on Amp this past Friday, March 3rd. For those of you who don’t know, Amp is a live and interactive radio app from Amazon. And let me tell you, Nicki dropped some major bombs during the show.
The biggest news? Nicki is starting her own record label, y’all! She announced that Paddy Dukes will be her A&R and that more deets will be shared on the next Queen Radio. She also talked about her brand new single “Red Ruby Da Sleeze” and even had artist and songwriter Tate Kobang on the show to reveal that he wrote the hook. Not only that, but Nicki also plans to work with artist Nana Fofie on her label.
