Nicki Minaj Signs Nigerian To Her New Record Label
Nicki Minaj has signed London based Nigerian artist Parker
Ighile to her new record label. The Super Bass singer says she is however yet
to come up with a name for it as she is looking for one that will suit male
artists as well.
Its now becoming common place for American rappers to sign
African artists to their record label. Kanye West opened the gates by signing D
banj and Don Jazzy to Good Music music, followed by Akon’s Konvict Music who
signed Nigeria’s P Square and Kenya’s 14 year old Wilson. Akon who was recently
in Kenya for a concert is yet to make public names of artists he signed during
his visit.
Nicki has been signed to Young Money, lil Wayne’s record
label. It has been a precedent for American rappers to establish their own
record labels when they hit the pinnacle of their careers. Lil Wayne was
himself signed to Birdman’s CMB Cash Money Brothers before opening his own.
This could however be a make or break decision for Nicki especially if she
leaves her current record label as the stable is often very instrumental to an
artist’s success and such can be said of Young Money and Nicki Minaj.
