As promised, I have the full interview from Nini's appearance on "The Oprah Winfrey" show. It lasted about 45 minutes and they talked a Little bit about everything, so check it out below:
The show starts and Oprah says: Everyone I have a special guest here tonight! Please give a warm welcome to NINI!!!!!!! In which the audience members cheered and Nini came out smiling and waving at her fans in the audience which consisted of mostly women and she gave Oprah a hug and took her seat.
Oprah: Hey girl, You been really busy lately
Nini: Yes, just been trying to do everything at once which has been more than tiring
Oprah: I see, and you're supposed to be on vacation, are you still on vacation?
Nini: Yes I am, but at this point it doesn't seem like it, the job doesn't know the definition of vacation, especially when it comes to me (laughs, and the audience members laugh)
Oprah: Well first off I wanna say congratulations!!! (the crowd cheers) you have been winning alot of big awards lately and you recently won the presidential award am I right?
Nini: Yes
Oprah: And guys, she is friends with our president she is super presidential y'all!!! (the crowd cheers, and Nini smiles hard) so tell me, how is that?
Nini: Um well, its an amazing feeling, I ask myself everyday how am I worthy enough to experience these wonderful things and through the blessings that God has given me, I feel its what I worked so hard for and he notices that as well (the audience claps)
Oprah: So do you have a personal relationship with God?
Nini: Definitely, its a great bond there, that no one can come between (the audience claps)
Oprah: Good good, so tell me, You have an album coming right? (Nini says yes) tell me a little about that?
Nini: Well its called "The World Through My Eyes" and its due on June 28th, I never worked harder on anything in my life than this album, I want it to be what my fans are used to, but at the same time I want it to grab potential new fans that are not looking for all the rap and cussing and dirty things so this album represents a little bit of everything and has something different and specific for everyone, not just the Rap fans.
Oprah: I see, and "The World Through My Eyes" Is that what you said?" (Nini says yes) where did you come up with that title, I mean where did that come from?
Nini: Well, that symbolizes everything I have seen in my journey and those same things that I have seen allowing me to grow and mature as an artist and as a person. The title just basically refers to what I seen and what I been through in my life and how I use all of that to my advantage"
Oprah: NINI everyone, The World Through My Eyes June 28th (The crowd cheers and a picture of the album cover is shown)
Oprah; We'll be right back (A commercial break is shown for 4 minutes then it comes back on)
Oprah: We have Nini with us guys, she is an amazing talented artist and performer, so far she has won the presidential royal award, as well as countless others, and she owns her own record label called Platinum Sound Records, and she's also a mentor to her artist and she's considered a legend, all at the age of 22, welcome back here's NINI! (The crowd cheers and Nini says thank you and smiles)
Oprah: So whats going on with your label?
Nini: Well, we all have new projects that are coming very soon, even the newer artists has new material that will be released soon, its really all about hard work, I don't like goofing off and I try to get everyone on a work mind frame because if they want to be successful its no time to play"
Oprah: Exactly, so how did you feel when you became the owner?
Nini: It really wasn't a big deal honestly, because before I was the owner, it seemed like I was already, my whole team looked to me as if I was already the owner and I made decisions on my own already so its nothing too different, the only difference is that now its in writing so that makes it official but it seems like it was official before it was official (laughs and the crowd laughs and Oprah laughs)
Oprah: That's excellent, and does anyone try and take advantage of you due to your age?
NINI: Of course, people figure because I'm still young, I don't know right from wrong or I don't know how to count money or whatever, so people try to take advantage and I use the word "TRY" because that's all they can do is try they cant do it (laughs)
Oprah: That's how it started it for me believe me (laughs) so, is it true that you have royal presidential passes that allow to skip the security checks at airports, or be above the law as they say, or anything like that?
Nini Um, (laughs) no one ever asked me that before (laughs again) um well, yes its true, its not something I asked for or even expected at all, but I want everyone to look at me the same, because I'm really no different than anyone else, and if I act up I expect to get in trouble, so that's what being royal says, but I say I'm the same as anyone else.
Oprah: Is there anyone jealous over that?
Nini: well if they are they are keeping it to themselves (laughs, crowd laughs)
Oprah: So how close are you with the Obama's?
Nini: Pretty close, not best friends or anything but they are super nice and they are an inspiration to me and America.
Oprah: Do you visit them at the White house?
Nini (Laughs) well they have invited me a few times, but I haven't been able to make it yet.
Oprah: OK Nini everyone! (Crowd cheers)
Oprah: We'll be right back! (Commercial break)
Oprah: So lets talk about your charity work, hows that?
Nini: Its great I try and donate as much as I can to children and cancer victims, as well as victims of natural disasters and my charity team raises money for those things and to support the troops overseas" (the crowd cheers)
Oprah: And how much does your team raise?
Nini: At least 78 trillion dollars a year"
Oprah: WOW!!!!!!! (The crowd claps and cheers)
Oprah: I never seen that much in my life if you can believe that (Nini and the crowd laugh) and how much of that do you donate?
Nini: Pretty much all of it, I don't keep anything, I break it down of course, but everything I raise goes to low income families and victims and children.
Oprah: That's awesome its so nice to give back, wouldn't you agree?
Nini: Yes, it feels great
Oprah: Guys, Nini will be performing for us tonight!!!!! (the crowd cheers) check her out when we come back don't go anywhere, a performance from Nini when we come back"
Nini performed after the commercial break, she performed "My way" for 4 minutes and afterwards Oprah ran up to her and gave her a big hug and said "That's our show please give it up for NINI! And don't forget new album in stores on the 28th (the cover is shown again) love you guys GOOD NIGHT! She gives Nini a hug while the crowd is cheering and clapping and it goes off.
