Shanell On Young Money's Roster

Some people speculate as to what the other artists on Young Money--you know, the onesnot named 'Drake' or 'Nicki Minaj'--are doing on the label, Shanell gave her take on what Wayne sees in his young, talented roster of up-and-comers.

"Wayne's reason for choosing each and every one of us, [in] Young Money, is that we are talented in our own way and we do know how to create our own music and create our own world," Shanell revealed in an interview. "It's the only place that I've seen where you can actually do that."

"I think what I am for Young Money is that tool to sort of go outside of the norm," she added. "That's my challenge and my responsibility is to be able to go outside of what Young Money is comfortable with, bring in a new audience and bring in new people to work with."

Shanell On Nicki Minaj's Dildo

Young Money's Shanell was just as shocked as some fans when Nicki Minaj whipped out a sex toy at one of her shows recently. The rap star flashed a dildo during a performance on the Young Money "I Am Music" Tour. The incident received some criticism from some media outlets, but Shanell told VIBE that the public should expect to be shocked by Minaj.

"I really didn't know it was going to happen," Shanell said. "I hadn't seen her show since the first night. She was rehearsing in a different location than us, so I didn't get to see her show before hand, but Nicki's going to do stuff that's going to shock you, so...The media.. I don't know. I don't know how I feel about media right now."
