Earlier this year, Minaj announced that they had obtained a marriage license, giving them 90 days to get married.
E! Online reported the “Barbie Dreams” hitmaker talking about how they planned to tie the knot pretty fast after they got their license.
“We’ve gotten our marriage license, but there’s a particular pastor who I want to officiate and so she was just made available as of today,” she said.
“She told me she’s available within the next week, so we could be married in the next seven days,” she continued.
When she was questioned about if she had her wedding dress ready, the songstress joked that it would take a long time for her to settle on what to wear.
“That’s too much. I can’t. There’s no way. That will take too long to plan. I’m not good with that. I’m a procrastinator.”
Twelve hours ago, Minaj shared on her Instagram that her collaboration with Megan Thee Stallion and Ty Dolla $ign, “Hot Girl Summer,” had topped the Rhythmic Songs chart. The photo mentioned that it became Megan’s first song to reach No. 1 on the chart but became Nicki’s eighth. The track won the trio an MTV Video Music Award for Best Power Anthem, which The Inquisitr reported.
To date, she has dropped four studio albums — Pink Friday, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, The Pinkprint, and Queen. Her last release was last year.
