Cher Lloyd: 'Nicki Minaj the only successful, credible female rapper'

Cher Lloyd has suggested that Nicki Minaj is the only female rapper who has combined commercial success and credibility.

Answering fan questions for BRMB, the X Factor finalist again said that she would like to collaborate with Minaj.



"I love the way she did a mixtape, and it sold like crazy," she said. "Because she¹s amazing. Then she went on to do an album, and that went crazy, and she really blew up.

"And I just think between that time she didn't change at all. She was still massively credible. And she's a female rap artist that's done insanely well. In my eyes, she's the only one."

During the interview, Lloyd also restated her ambition to work with country music superstar Dolly Parton.

"I'd do anything to just get on stage with her," she said. "To just do a bit of 'Jolene', or just anything. I love her."

This week, Lloyd signed a modelling contract with the Select agency and was added to the lineup for the Wireless 2012 festival in London's Hyde Park.
