Nicki Minaj: 'Gaga’s a Fantastic Artist'

Nicki Minaj blows a kiss to fans at her album release party for Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded at LIV nightclub on Sunday (April 8) inside the Fountainbleau Hotel in Miami Beach, Fla.

The 29-year-old entertainer hung out with Lil Wayne and Birdman at her party.

In a recent interview with Nightline, Nicki spoke about being compared to Lady Gaga.

“First of all, I’m a rapper, ” Nicki said. “I’m from southside Jamaica, Queens. What are the similarities? Every female in this game wears wigs…It’s getting tired now to me. Gaga‘s a fantastic artist. You know, she’s paved her way. She’s opened her own lane. But I feel like I have my own lane. And we never cross, ever!”
