‘I went from being a caricature in people’s eyes to becoming someone with a lot of layers,’ Minaj tells Shade 45’s ‘Sway in the Morning.’ By Rob Markman, with reporting by Sway Calloway Nicki Minaj Photo: Slaven Vlasic/ Getty Images There’s more to Nicki Minaj than just a pink wig and her funny voices. Rap’s reigning queen has evolved from a budding New York MC to an omnipresent figure in music and pop culture. She’s come a long way since her 2007 Playtime Is Over mixtape. “I think I went from being a caricature in people’s eyes to becoming someone with a lot of layers,” Nicki told MTV News correspondent Sway Calloway when she appeared on his “Sway in the Morning” Shade 45 radio show on Tuesday. Nicki spoke with Sway and co-host Devi Dev about a range of topics — from her over-the-top 2012 Grammy performance to working with Madonna — but Nicki seemed most eager to emphasize that as many strides as she’s made in her career, her superstar qualities were always there on the inside. “You just gotta realize that I’m never gonna be one-dimensional,” she said. “Even my core fans I think, at times, thought I was one-dimensional when I was doing mixtapes. However, even on the mixtapes, I was singing and I did a song called ‘Can Anybody Hear Me’ on one of my mixtapes where I was singing and talking about being a female rapper and trying to get signed.” “Can Anybody Hear Me” appeared on her 2009 tape Beam Me Up Scotty and featured Nicki spitting about her difficulty securing a record deal. Funny when you think about all of the success she’s now obtained. “When it rains, it pours for real/ Def Jam said I’m no Lauryn Hill/ You can’t rap and sing on the same CD/ The public won’t get it, they got A.D.D.,” Nicki rapped back in ’09. Minaj has since broken down those barriers and her latest album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, is the ultimate brush-off to naysayers who once told Nicki what she couldn’t do. “It’s just been peeling back the layers and now I think the ultimate layer was me saying, ‘Now I’m gonna do whatever kind of music I want to do and you’re free to not like it,’ ” she said. “This new album, Roman Reloaded, when I tell you I am not nervous, I am not fearful; all of those emotions left.” The Young Money superstar’s second album balances her hard-core rap sensibilities with pop tracks produced by RedOne and Dr Luke. Critics have been lukewarm , but Nicki doesn’t want to choose between the two distinct musical genres; it’s all derived from a feeling, she said. “My story is not gonna always entail a hard hip-hop beat, but sometimes it is,” she explained. “A lot of the tracks on this album are just a hard hip-hop beat and just spittin’ and that’s why I enlisted some people like [Cam’ron] and 2 Chainz and the legendary Nas.” What do you think of Roman Reloaded ?

‘It’s very hard for me to accept, but I get it,’ singer tells Elle in May issue of public backlash. By Rebecca Thomas Rihanna on the May 2012 cover of Elle Photo: Tom Munro / Hearst Digital Media Rihanna didn’t call her latest album Talk That Talk for nothing. The Good Girl Gone Bad regularly hits Twitter to hash it out over everything from her taste in ink to her take on fellow R&B divas . But the one subject she’d kept off her tongue was ex-boyfriend Chris Brown. So the Bajan beauty’s decision this year to very publicly reconcile with Brown, who served probation for assaulting her in 2009, by teaming up with him in February on a pair of remixes was widely met with shock and, in many circles, outrage. In the new issue of Elle, however, the blond cover girl tells the magazine she understands her decision is a hard pill for some to swallow. “The bottom line is that everyone thinks differently. It’s very hard for me to accept, but I get it,” she says. “People end up wasting their time on the blogs or whatever, ranting away, and that’s all right. Because tomorrow I’m still going to be the same person. I’m still going to do what I want to do.” Rather than view the violent end of her relationship with Brown as a brutal low to be endured as a victim, the superstar says the fallout from the headline-making assault gave her courage. “It gave me guns,” she says. “I was like, well, f—. [The public knows] more about me than I want them to know. It’s embarrassing. But that was my opening. That was my liberation … Now you know that, so you can say what you want about it. I don’t have anything to hide.” In the wake of her provocative “Birthday Cake” remix with Brown, the 24-year-old was rumored to have reunited with the “Deuces” singer both in and out of the studio. But Rih says in the May issue (out April 17) that she’s focused on changing her single status to “in a relationship,” stressing over the pervasive man shortage and her busy schedule. “I feel like it’s hard for everybody ! I don’t think it has anything to do with being famous. There’s just a major drought out there.” What do you think of Rihanna’s comments about Chris Brown? Tell us in the comments.

‘We ask questions that are relevant and newsworthy,’ a rep for ABC tells MTV News. By Jocelyn Vena Chris Brown on Tuesday’s “Good Morning America” Photo: ABC Shortly after news broke that Chris Brown had stormed out of ABC News’ Times Square studios following an appearance on “Good Morning America,” a rep for ABC released a statement to MTV News defending their interview, during which host Robin Roberts asked Brown about his 2009 assault of Rihanna and its consequences. “As always, we ask questions that are relevant and newsworthy,” the rep said in the statement. “And that’s what we did in this interview with Mr. Brown.” With varying reports surfacing after the incident, Roberts took to her Twitter account to react to Brown’s outburst, writing, “Sure has been an interesting AM @GMA. Still sorting thru everything myself. Just my 2nd day on twitter, wonder what tomorrow will bring?” Sources tell E! News that the star “went ballistic” shortly after the interview wrapped. He started cursing and throwing furniture, making show staffers “feel scared.” “He went ballistic, absolutely ballistic,” the source explained. “After Robin got a lot of criticism for [not pressing] Tiger [Woods], she pressed him. She was concerned after she was slammed for that. Chris thought he’d be asked one question, not pressed on it. They say, ‘We’ll ask you one Rihanna question,’ but she kept asking follow-ups. He got off and went crazy. “He smashed a chair into a window and that glass is so thick, people heard shattering and security was called,” the source added. “It was to the point where people were scared. The question is now how ABC will report it.” Sources tell People a similar story, with an eyewitness adding, “He was visibly upset and appeared livid after the interview.” Related Videos MTV News Extended Play: Chris Brown Related Photos Rihanna And Chris Brown: A Photo Timeline Related Artists Chris Brown

‘I’m done with being a victim,’ redheaded standout says after sailing to the next Hollywood Week round. By Adam Graham Brett Loewenstern Photo: FOX Even if the name Brett Loewenstern doesn’t mean anything to you yet, his face certainly does: He’s the 16-year-old red-haired singer viewers were first introduced to during the New Orleans “American Idol” auditions. You might as well go ahead and get used to him, because he’s going to be around a bit longer: On Thursday’s (February 10) episode of “Idol,” Loewenstern made one more sizable leap toward achieving his dream, as the Boca Raton, Florida, native coasted through his Hollywood Week audition. His biggest obstacle was his own nerves: “I’m shaking in my pants right now, I’m not gonna lie,” he told the judges as one of the first contestants to take the audition stage. Then those jitters melted away, as Loewenstern won the judges over with his passionate, restrained rendition of the Beatles’ “Let It Be.” “That boy’s got the blues!” Jennifer Lopez said following his song. And he has reason to: Loewenstern again stressed the bullying and teasing he’s faced in the past and looked at his “Idol” victory as the next step in overcoming those painful scars. “I would like to say to the people that tried to bring me down: Bully me, backstab me, whatever. No negativity anymore. I’m done with being a victim.” Fanning himself as he stepped off the stage, he said he was appreciative of the opportunity in front of him and that he’s going to use it to “shine.” Do you think Loewenstern will make it all the way to the live shows? Let us know in the comments! Get your “Idol” fix on MTV News’ “American Idol” page , where you’ll find all the latest news, interviews and opinions.

Singer’s lawyer says she’s requested the order to be dropped to level one, which would allow contact between the two. By Mawuse Ziegbe Rihanna Photo: Steve Granitz/ WireImage Rihanna’s lawyer told E! News that she has agreed to allow the current restraining order against ex Chris Brown to be relaxed. The “S&M” singer requested the order to be bumped down to a level one, which would mean that the two are allowed to contact each other as long as Brown doesn’t harass or annoy his superstar ex. E! reports that Brown’s lawyer, Mark Geragos, is aware of the request but needs to head to the court for a judge to officially change the original order. Judge Patricia Schnegg put the protective order into effect in August 2009 after Brown pleaded guilty to assaulting his then-girlfriend. The restriction mandated that the former couple were barred from communicating with each other and that they must maintain their distance if they were to attend the same event. Rihanna’s request comes after a January 28 status hearing during which it was revealed that Brown’s “stay away” order would likely be reduced to a “do not annoy” order. Brown completed a yearlong domestic-violence course in December and has been lavished with praise by Schnegg for his progress during his status hearings. “Of all probationers I’ve ever had, and I’ve had thousands of probationers, no one has ever done a better or more consistent job than you have,” Schnegg said during a November hearing . “And I really want to commend you for taking responsibility, and for actually working diligently to complete all of the things the court has required of you.” While the exes can be in contact now, a reunion on Grammy night — Brown’s assault on Rihanna happened just before the Grammys in 2009 — remains unlikely. Rihanna will hit the stage, but while Brown is nominated, he is not scheduled to attend.

Rihanna’s lawyer has to OK judge’s decision at status hearing to scale the mandate back to a ‘do not annoy’ order. By Jayson Rodriguez Chris Brown (file) Photo: Mark Ralston/AFP/Getty Images The “stay away” order issued against Chris Brown following his assault of then-girlfriend Rihanna is expected to be reduced to a “do not annoy” order, it was revealed Friday (January 28) during a status hearing for Brown. Judge Patricia Schnegg mandated the protective order back in August 2009 after Brown pleaded guilty to assault. The restriction called for the former couple to not communicate and keep their distance should they attend the same industry event. Last month, Brown completed a yearlong domestic-violence course . Judge Schnegg once again praised Brown for his progress and congratulated him on his course completion. The singer’s attorney requested that Brown be permitted to skip future status hearings as a result of his completed course work, which the judge granted. Brown still must complete a number of community labor hours. The “stay away” order being reduced to a “do not annoy” order first needs to be approved by Rihanna’s attorney. When Brown reached his plea deal, Rihanna’s lawyer notified the court that the pop star did not wish to seek a restraining order against her ex. During a short recess granted by the judge, Brown’s attorney phoned Rihanna’s legal rep to OK the motion, but the party was unavailable.

The singer was sentenced to a domestic violence course in August 2009 after he reached a plea deal with Beverly Hills prosecutors in the wake of his conviction on charges of assault against then girlfriend Rihanna .
