What she going to start on? She can't because she did it already

Maybe because you all don't understand how it works but the only thing that we could question her rushing on is her music.
Her branding is something that a female rapper has not accomplished in the same way.
When you are a pioneer in proper female rap branding you can't "take your time" and take forever to get it done.
The time is now...she has to set the foundation so that when she stops rapping and starts a family she can continue being a mogul with her brands. Most female rappers end up:
1) not writing their rhymes
2) writing their rhymes but not having them used as the label will give ghostwriting males the leeway to give them rhymes that they want a female to say
3) have bad contracts and rely on short - lived endorsements and co-headlining club tours
4) are just not the bizness.
Nicki is more than a rapper, she is a singer, actress, mogul in the making and she has too many facets to her persona to just space things out every couple of years.
Some of the biggest artists out now operating in the same way...they have to stay relevant and get their money now so that the foundation is already set.
Female rappers might not take on her image in the future but she will give them the PinkPrint on how to make your character not be boxed in as just a rapper. You don't have to turn to acting you can capitalize on your Name.
-Lipstick, check
-Makeup, I'm sure soon
-Fragrance, check (what other female rapper has done this?)
-Clothing line, check (she'll need to show that her line can outlast the trend like fetish and Im sure she'll do this)
-Wig line, soon (this is a goldmine waiting to happen)
-Jewelry line, soon

That would be crazy since they don't even stock her albums.

Good point but we should hope that she makes it affordable for her core but at a store with a better appeal.
I hope she can find a middle ground. I don't know why people want her to go high end. I don't think that will be her target market. I wouldn't mind a Kohl's or something that can reach out to her core audience.

I know what you mean, but Nicki wouldn't do it. That's the same reason why the perfume isn't a wide release (available at Target, Walmart, Walgreens, etc.) and instead is a limited one only available at prestige department stores.
Nicki would laugh at any artist who have a clothing line at Walmart, so what makes you think it would be for HER's that she's been working on?

How about kohl's or H&M? It's kind of in the middle.

Like I said, there's more H&M stores in more countries than Wal-Mart.
If I see the hoodrats going into Macy's perched getting the perfume, they can go into H&M.

She already said what you're saying though. She isn't exactly snatching up every endorsement. She's snatching endoresment that are mind-blowing, like Pepsi, Adidas, etc.
She'll be here for a long time OUTSIDE of music because of what she's building for herself now.

You make sense 99% of the time...Leave Britney alone. I got stats on Nicki and Britney. I could go all day. I don't want to, though.
