Nicki Minaj has had an outstanding year. With several nominations including work on her debut album, Pink Friday and a scheduled performance at the prestigious ceremony, you would think she feel as though she is a shoo-in to win. Nicki remains humble though, in this “exclusive peek:”

“I was at the Grammy’s last year and it was like I didn’t even exist then now to be performing and be nominated, it’s a big deal. I’m not going to be nervous about winning because I really don’t think I’m going to win anything. The way I look at it is, I know eventually in my career I’m going to have Grammy’s. This year is just about being nominated and feeling grateful. Feeling like my fans and I have come a very long way and we’re just going to celebrate this moment. Nothing else matters –winning or not winning, it doesn’t matter. It just matters that they get to see a girl from the hood take these steps and continue to take these steps just with hard work.”
