You know you've arrived when...

Ellen asks you to be on her show!!!

Congrats, Nicki Minaj! 

Also, her album Pink Friday is CERTIFIED PLATINUM! Might I add, it only took 28 days to achieve this title. Say what you will about her, she's a 26 year old millionaire. And no matter what, she has worked really hard to be where she is. Respect.

In the beginning of the interview, Ellen comments on how amazing Nicki is dressed. I mean, duh. Nicki always looks good. At one point, Ellen touches her diamond encrusted heels and I think to myself, "consent!" but it's Ellen, and she can do whatever she wants because people love her and she's rich.

Nicki seems to have maintained a fairly down-to-earth persona, telling Elen she'd never in a million years think she'd ever be sitting on this couch having this interview, blah, blah,blah. Just watch:

Also, can I say, I love that she openly has multiple personalities? Is this some sort of new craze? I mean Sacha Fierce? Chris Brown rapping? Is this like when it was popular to be a pro basketball player slash "actor" slash "rapper"? Except you're not attempting different skills, just slightly changing the way you do one skill? Or am I way off? Remember Space Jam???

Michael Jordan was all like "I'm gonna be in a movie where I act and play pro basketball AT THE SAME TIME! BOO-YA!" Now that's what I call multitasking.

Anyway, more about Nicki Minaj. She preformed Moment 4 Life, where she exhibited pristine hand modeling skills, and had two back up dancers dressed up just like her!

I've fallen in and out of love with Nicki ever since I first saw her Itty Bitty Piggy video a little over a year ago. But now that she FINALLY has her OWN album, LOOK WHAT HAPPENED! I'm back in love, and she's PLATINUM!

Oh, and one more thing...Look for her on the cover of V to hit newsstands this week!
I'm telling you, SHE'S BLOWIN' UP!
