If she were to release a mixtape this summer then she shouldn't release a new album until May 2014, all depending on the hype stemming from this mixtape.
There's absolutely no way there will be a CRJ and Nicki collab (what scooter tweeted). CRJ is still mid era, i'm thinking they might do a duet performance on the show, but to tribute another artist or something like that.
Carly Rae Jepsen got famous off the canadian alternative of american idol, interesting fact for ya'll.
A part of me doesn't want Nicki to make a fourth mixtape, cause it will contrast the holy trinity (SF, PIO, BMUS). But that's just me being silly and immature.
