Young Money princess Nicki Minaj will be the subject of a one-hour expose, E! Entertainment Special: Nicki Minaj, this week.

The show will feature interviews with Minaj herself along with Young Money boss Lil Wayne, rapper/producer Swizz Beatz, family, childhood friends and an elementary school teacher.

Topics covered include Minaj’s multiple rap personalities and outrageous looks as well as her Caribbean roots, life before hip-hop and transition from being a waitress to one of rap’s most recognizable stars.

According to the terms of his probation, Lil Wayne has been ordered to refrain from drinking or using drugs for the next three years, a major adjustment for the New Orleans MC who previously relied heavily on weed and cough syrup as part of his writing process.



Though Wayne has noted that his straight edge lifestyle has made recording more difficult, he appears to have finally come to terms with his court-enforced sobriety, revealing that it's a "great feeling" during a recent interview at the Providence, R.I. stop on his I Am Still Music tour.
