"Don't worry about me and who I fire. I get what I desire. It's my empire"
Nicki Minaj has reportedly released Diddy as her manager and joined forces with Gee Roberson and Kyambo "HipHop" Joshua of Hip Hop Since 1978.
Gee and Kyambo have previously worked with Nicki's rival Lil' Kim on her "Naked Truth" album with Atlantic records where they were A&R's. But Kim fans don't take this and start bragging now let's remember there were reports that Kim was working with Fendi who had a hand in launching Nicki's career in the beginning.
The reason behind the change are unknown but it is being speculated that Nicki believed that Diddy would play more of a role, and when he didn't or was unable to she decided that it was time she moved on.
Here's a little info about Hip Hop Since 1978
"If 2008 and 2009 are any indication, the future of Hip-Hop rests in the hands of Gee Roberson, Kyambo “Hip Hop” Joshua and their GM, Al Branch. While Gee and Hip Hop worked together for seven-and-a-half years as directors of A&R for the entire Roc-A-Fella roster, Al also worked there as general manager. After changing their company name in 2004 to Hip Hop Since 1978, co-CEOs Gee and Hip Hop haven’t stopped working since. Together, the squad formed management company Rock Da World back in 1998, signing Kanye West as their first artist, followed by Just Blaze. Their powerful roster now includes Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy and newcomer Drake. A partial list of accomplishments from last year alone: Jeezy’s Adidas campaign, Kanye’s Glow in the Dark tour, Lil Wayne’s I Am Music tour, the Nike Air Yeezys, the Nike LeBrons, Lil Wayne’s Sixers spot, Lil Wayne’s voiceover work for Gatorade’s “What’s G” campaign and Kanye’s collaboration with Louis Vuitton on a special shoe collection. If that’s not enough, Hip Hop Since 1978 artists led Grammy nominations in ‘07 (Lil Wayne) and ‘08 (Kanye West)."So what do you guys think is this an upgrade for Nicki Minaj?
