'Starships' beauty Nicki Minaj has revealed that she was inspired to call her new album 'The Pink Print' because of her obsession with rapper Jay Z, who has previously released a record called 'The Blueprint'.

During an interview with Power 106, the songstress admitted that he's an influential figure and she feels as though she has learned a lot from following his career over the years:

"I think everybody knows how obsessed I am with Jay Z. He's always been my favourite rapper - him and [Lil] Wayne. He did such a great job of creating this Blueprint brand for male rappers, I felt. And I studied a lot of his blueprint, just in terms of becoming a mogul."

Minaj went onto add that she wants to be the female equivalent of the '99 Problems' icon in terms of success and business opportunity, so giving her forthcoming new album a suitable title made sense:

"I wanted to do that, I wanted to be like Jay Z. I felt like with what I'm doing, I want female rappers to be able to pattern themselves with what I've done one day. And I think the album is soooo classic, it's gonna feel so good and it will probably be one that female rappers will look to as a 'pink print' for years to come."
