Your support helps us to tell the story

From reproductive rights to climate change to Big Tech, The Independent is on the ground when the story is developing. Whether it's investigating the financials of Elon Musk's pro-Trump PAC or producing our latest documentary, 'The A Word', which shines a light on the American women fighting for reproductive rights, we know how important it is to parse out the facts from the messaging.

At such a critical moment in US history, we need reporters on the ground. Your donation allows us to keep sending journalists to speak to both sides of the story.

The Independent is trusted by Americans across the entire political spectrum. And unlike many other quality news outlets, we choose not to lock Americans out of our reporting and analysis with paywalls. We believe quality journalism should be available to everyone, paid for by those who can afford it.

Your support makes all the difference.

The rapper has revealed she plans to "address the nation" in several new songs as the invented character, who she introduced to fans on 'Roman's Revenge', the opening track of her debut album 'Pink Friday' which was co-written by Eminem.

In a blog post, she wrote: "Roman will be in rare form this time. you know why? cuz he no longer gives a f**k. he realized that his core matters the most. everyone else will figure it the fuck out. he can no longer be censored. that's not lewinsky on a$$. its roman. he has 2 more weeks in boarding school. we're going to pick him up now. when he lands, he will address the nation in the form of music. he will also announce the date. *salutes the nation* love u always. (sic)"

Nicki hints in the post that she will announce new music on the one-year anniversary of 'Pink Friday' which was released on November 19 2010.

The official blog post has since been removed.

The 'Super Bass' hitmaker has been busy working with producer Kane Beatz in a Los Angeles studio and Kane has revealed everything is going "crazy".

He recently said: "It's crazy. We got one [track] so far. She's in Los Angeles going crazy. She just started, so she's really picking her music and picking the songs.

"She's real selective. She'll pick all the beats before she even starts writing, so right now, we're just getting music together, and it's going crazy right now."

Kane produced 'Super Bass', 'Dear Old Nicki' and 'I'm the Best' on 'Pink Friday'.
