Nicki Minaj Scores Mega-Deal With Pepsi
Nicki Minaj made history last year by becoming the first female to grace FORBES Hip-Hop Cash Kings list, pulling in $6.5 million and landing herself in the #15 spot. But that’s not all for the singer/rapper as she’s now the new face of Pepsi.
The 29-year-old “Starships” hitmaker signed a multi-million dollar deal, which includes a commercial filmed last month in South America.
“You’ll see the commercial probably in the next two months,” Derek Jackson, the Glu agency chief who brokered the agreement said. “That’ll be a segue into a new beverage Pepsi has, called ‘Pop,’ and she’ll be the face of the brand … it’s going to be explosive.”
Add that to Drake‘s Sprite Deal and Cash Money is really getting money. And don’t forget that Nicki copped a real life Barbie deal with Mattel last year. No other rapper has done it quite like Nicki can… Nobody except Queen Latifah.
