First it was Drake, now Nicki Minaj covers the front cover of The FADER Magazine. Nicki is covering issue #66, and you can buy the magazine from newsstands on March 2nd.

All eyes are on Drake and his debut album Thank Me Later. But Drizzy is eagerly anticipating his peer Kanye West’s new project after hearing some of it firsthand.

The Canadian rapper-singer revealed to GQ magazine that he has been in Hawaii laying down tracks for both his and Mr. West’s albums.

When asked how they divide time between the two projects, Drake joked, “More like we work on his album until he gets tired.”

Little is known about West’s fifth studio effort, but the Young Money star offered his inside take. “His album is going to be one of the best hip-hop albums in the last 10 years,” he declared.

Drake issued this statement regarding phony bookings. Drizzy is co-managed by Bryant Management and Hip Hop Since 1978 and is booked through International Creative Management. All confirmed appearances can be found here on his Myspace page.

It has been brought to my attention that false promoters and booking agents are illegally using my name and likeness to promote concerts and club appearances for their own financial gain. It is frustrating for me to hear that many of my fans, who like myself are innocent victims in these scams, have been misled due to the greed of these promoters. I apologize to any fan that has been a victim of these circumstances or feels let down by false advertising. Please be assured that my team and I take these matters seriously and are actively cooperating with authorities. I cannot thank my fans enough for supporting my music and all that I do.
