Nicki Minaj's Anaconda Gets Platinum; Amidst Success Rap Star Shares Dreams Of Settling Down

There's no denying the popularity of Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" and now the single was propelled to Platinum status in the US.

Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" cover art captured our attention but the video that accompanied it took the rapper's first single of her album "The Pink Print" to another level. Minaj shared the news via her social media accounts and informed her millions of fans that apart from its successful sales in the US, the single has already climbed to the #2 spot on the iTunes UK chart soon after it was added. She also shared that the song is also #2 in Australia.

Minaj took to Twitter to thank her fans, saying: "Love u guys for being so excited. Lol. I can always count u. My babies. U have no idea."

Meanwhile, the "Super Bass" rapper recently posed for the cover of L'Uomo Vogue's October issue. In the magazine's cover story, Minaj shared her struggles in breaking in to the industry as well as some of her plans for the future.

"At first, no one took me seriously," she said. "In the world of rap, women are usually relegated to the choir. I want to build my empire. In my field, I have always seen men do it - from Diddy to Dr. Dre to Jay Z. Now it's a woman's turn."

Minaj, whose real name is Onika Manaj, also shared how she wants to have a family of her own. "I don't want to work my whole life without ever experiencing the joys of a family," said the 31-year-old rapper. "I would like to take a hiatus and dedicate myself completely to my child."

She shared how she looks up to Beyonce in the aspect of balancing a career and motherhood. "Seeing Beyonce with her daughter and her husband was so tender," said Minaj. "It showed me that it is possible to be an animal on stage and a caring mother at the same time."

The success of Nicki Minaj's "Anaconda" and her other ventures, however, slows down the rapper's plans for a family. "Right now I am too busy, but at a certain point the situation will change," she shared.
