NEW YORK — All the Barbies get ready, Roman is back! Nicki Minaj released "Roman in Moscow" on Friday (December 2), the first track off her sophomore album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded.
On the brand-new, hard-hitting single, Minaj's foul-mouthed alter ego Roman Zolanski spits out insults in his rapid-fire flow. It seems safe to say that Roman is fully recharged, and perhaps even taking shots at Nicki's rival Lil' Kim. "I told you, bitch, last year / I'm a rap-bitch nightmare / That's why I call you Buzz Lightyear," Roman says. " 'Cause by the time you start buzzin', bitch, you gonna have white hair!"
MTV News caught up with Minaj at the Billboard Women in Music event on Friday afternoon and she talked to us about the track.
" 'Roman in Moscow is like a teaser to Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded, which will drop on Valentine's Day," Minaj said. "When I say it's a teaser, it's like a trailer to the movie, it's like setting the stage and I just wanted to touch the surface. It's the wackest thing on Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded."
On the song, Roman is fired up and wreaking havoc all over Moscow. "Well, he was there [in Moscow] secretly because [alter ego] Martha wanted him to go there, so they put him in this thing with monks and nuns; they were trying to rehabilitate him," Minaj explained. "But I can't tell exactly what happened, you'll just see it in the video format, but let's just say he got out of there." Minaj added that the video for "Roman in Moscow" "will be shot real soon."
The MC is also celebrating her four 2012 Grammy nominations, including one for Best New Artist.

Taking the helm of the long-running NBC sketch comedy show's latest installment, Steve Buscemi hosted last night's (December 3) episode of "Saturday Night Live".
The "Reservoir Dogs" actor opened up the show with a monologue in which he spoke at length about being a creepy character actor for many years before taking the lead on "Boardwalk Empire" - during which he found himself oft interrupted by "character actor" audience members asking for advice.
Highlights of the latest "SNL" included one skit in which Buscemi played the role of Coach Bert, who happened to be a suspicious looking assistant coach on a college basketball team in a poke at the sex scandals plaguing Penn State and Syracuse.
The program also parodied Miley Cyrus' recent 19th birthday "I'm a stoner" incident via "The Miley Cyrus Show" while Weekend Update focused on politician Herman Cain, who was portrayed talking about his decision to suspend his campaign to be the GOP's presidential nominee.
Meanwhile, the night's musical guest was The Black Keys, who performed renditions of "Lonely Boy" and "Gold On The Ceiling" during the course of the show.

Stepping out for a charitable evening, Katy Perry joined Russell Brand at the 3rd Annual 'Change Begins Within' Benefit Celebration in Los Angeles, California on Saturday night (December 3).
The cute couple worked the arrivals area at the LACMA venue while supporting The David Lynch Foundation, which "outreaches to help people in need overcome traumatic stress and transform their lives from within."
The weekend appearance comes just after Brand addressed rumors of marital woes during an appearance on the "Ellen DeGeneres Show" - denying any such issues.
The 36-year-old comedian dished, ?I am really happily married. I would like one (a baby). I love those little babies in the beginning. They?re so lovely in that bit? They smile and look at me and wonder."
Adding that his wild days are behind him, Russell told, ?There?s been some gallivanting but as a married man you mustn?t gallivant too much. In the confines of marriage you can still do the travel aspect of it, but that?s it."

In the wake of both sexual harassment and infidelity allegations, Republication Presidential nominee Herman Cain suspended his campaign this afternoon, effectively ending his bid for the White House in 2012.
"As of today, with a lot of prayer and soul searching, I am suspending my presidential campaign," Cain said at an Atlanta rally, vowing that "I am not going to be silenced and I am not going away."
Cain cited the "continued distraction" of chatter over Ginger White's claim that she carried on a 13-year affair - during which Cain supposedly showered her with gifts and financial help - with the former CEO of Godfather's Pizza as the basis for his decision.
"These false and untrue allegations continue to be spinned in the media, and in the court of public opinion so as to create a cloud of doubt over me and this campaign and my family," Cain said. "That spin hurts. It hurts my wife. It hurts my family. It hurts me. And it hurts the American people, because you are being denied solutions to our problems."
Even before White rose to national prominence, Cain was under pressure after several other women accused him of sexual harassment and inappropriate conduct in the 1990s when he was the head of the National Restaurant Association.
"One of declarations I want to make to you today is that I am at peace with my God. I am at peace with my wife, and she is at peace with me. And I am at peace with my family and at peace with myself," Cain said.
