Nicki Minaj recently spoke to MTV at Billboard’s Sixth Annual Women In Music event about her “Roman In Moscow” track, which will appear on Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, dropping on February 14th. Nicki says the song is the “wackest” song on the album and she will shoot a video for it soon.

“‘Roman in Moscow is like a teaser to Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, which will drop on Valentine’s Day,” Minaj said. “When I say it’s a teaser, it’s like a trailer to the movie, it’s like setting the stage and I just wanted to touch the surface. It’s the wackest thing on Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded.”

On the track, one of Minaj’s most wayward alter egos Roman Zolanski is running amok in Moscow after escaping from boarding school. “Well, he was there in Moscow secretly because alter ego Martha wanted him to go there, so they put him in this thing with monks and nuns; they were trying to rehabilitate him,” Minaj explained. “But I can’t tell exactly what happened, you’ll just see it in the video format, but let’s just say he got out of there.”

Backstage at the iHeartRadio Music Festival, Billboard spoke to Nicki Minaj about the success of her single “Super Bass“. Nicki also revealed that her alter ego, Roman Zolanski, would have a key role on her forthcoming sophomore album.

“I want to publicly say again that Taylor Swift really launched that single into another stratosphere, with just tweeting about it and rapping it and stuff,” says Minaj of “Super Bass,” currently at No. 9 on the Hot 100. “I performed it with Taylor, and she’s so cute, and she’s like a big bowl of ice cream!”

“All I can say is that Roman will definitely be a humongous part of the follow-up to ‘Pink Friday,’” says Minaj in her trademark Roman accent. “All I can say is that I’m working on it, and the fans are gonna get their life and then some.”

Carrying on with his interview with Billboard, Drake talks about The Weeknd and says that he will be featured on Take Care “a lot”, which is being released on October 24th.
