It's funny 'cause the only hit thing about Nicki's current era has been a video. Not a song, a video, and her appearance at the VMAs was overshadowed by the likes of Iggy and Rita (according to critics). Like, is that what ATRL has reduced pop music to? One hit video and suddenly you're the biggest star in the world?
Didn't Nicki say she was doing a joint tour in the future? Wouldn't someone bigger than Lady Gaga, who is selling out stadiums and arenas around the world, be able to tour on her own? I still remember when 2NE1 from Korea sold more tickets in LA than Nicki last time Nicki toured.
