Nicki Minaj will debut her "Moment 4 Life" video Thursday on MTV at 7:54 p.m. ET, and the Young Money megastar will answer questions live immediately following the premiere. Minaj will sit down with MTV News' Sway and field questions from her Barbie army in an interview that will be broadcast on MTV, followed by a live stream on MTV.com. For a chance to hear the Queens lyricist's thoughts, tweet your questions with the hashtag #asknicki. You can also upload video questions to Your.MTV.com.
Drake also spoke to us about Minaj's meteoric rise, recalling their humble beginnings as buzzy Lil Wayne signees trekking around the country with their Young Money family on tour.
"To think of the girl that I used to ride the bus with — and that's what she was to me: this girl that I rode the bus with," he said. "I was like, 'Female rap?' And I'm being dead honest with you. [I thought,] 'Man, it's been a while since there's been a female rapper, and I'm curious to see how this works.' It's not that I didn't believe. And she was probably looking at me like, 'This Jew from Canada: I don't know.' "

MTV News stopped by the Los Angeles video set and scored footage of Minaj filming in a palatial mansion alongside Drake — with whom she's rumored to smooch in the clip. Rocking a draped aqua gown with a chunky jewel-encrusted bodice, a sparkly headpiece set atop a jet-black wig, and, of course, bubblegum-pink nails and lipstick, Minaj strolls into the expansive manor. Sporting an all-black ensemble, Drake clutches a martini as he looks over the balcony at his Young Money cohort.
"To do something with Drake is the best, because this is really my friend," Minaj told MTV News on set. The platinum-selling star added that she's making the visual extra-special since she's got Drizzy along for the ride. "So we put a couple things in there that we're not gonna give away."

Drake Reveals Plans For Album With Lil Wayne!!
(MTV)–”I’ll be on [Tha Carter IV], though … We’ve done a great song … and then we’re going to do another one, and another one,” the Young Money MC said. “We still got to do that album. I heard some other guys are coming out with an album, too. There’s two other rappers that are coming out with an album together. … I don’t know where they got that idea but …”
Westwood probably knew Drake was referring to Jay-Z and West but played into the coy act, saying, “I’m very slow; can you just break it down a bit simpler for me please?”
Then Drake continued, “I just caught wind of it through the grapevine, that there’s some other album coming out with two guys rapping on it too.”
“Oh, those two … you mean the older guys,” Westwood said.
“Oh, I didn’t say that,” Drake replied. “They look young to me … in their movements.”
West and Drake haven’t been as close as they seemed back in 2009, when Yeezy directed the up-and-comer’s video for “Best I Ever Had.” The Toronto rapper recently was left off of the final version of West’s “All of the Lights,” but he told Shade 45 radio that he was OK with it.
Drake’s sophomore album, Take Care, is due later this year.
I LOVE ME SOME DRAKE, AND I LOVE HIM SO SO MUCH THAT I'M NOW SCARED FOR HIS CAREER. WHOA TAKING SHOTS AT NOT JUST JAY-Z HIS BESTEE KANYE AS WELL, OH GEESH! I'M VERY SCARED CAUSE I ROLL WITH YMCMB ALL DAY EVERYDAY & I DEFINITELY ROLL WITH DRAKE AND NICKI AND I WOULD LOVE FOR DRAKE TO BE AROUND FOR YEARS & YEARS TO COME. SO I'M BEGGING FOR MY MAN (YOU KNOW I RIDE OR DIE FOR MY BOO, AND HE'S A MAN SO HIS PRIDE IS IN THE WAY) BUT ANY WHO, DEAR JAY-Z PLEASE DON'T TAKE WHAT MY MAN DRAKE IS SAYING SERIOUS AT THIS MOMENT. SHIT BASICALLY HE'S 24 AND GOING THROUGH A MID LIFE CRISIS, SO PRETTY PLEASE ALLOW MY BABY DRAKE, TO CONTINUE ON BEING A GENIUS SONGWRITER, SINGER & MC. JUST WHATEVER YOU DO, PLEASE DON'T TAKE HIS CAREER FROM HIM RITE NOW. THANXS!
Chime in and let me know if Drake is wrong or this is a publicity stunt?
