There was a lot going on on TV last night, but I did manage to watch most of Nicki Minaj’s My Time Now documentary on MTV. I think my favorites scene was when she talk about coming to America from Trinidad. I love how close she is with her family and how much they support her. Her story is similar to many Caribbeans who come to America to find a better life for their families.

MTV documents Nicki Minaj as she creates her highly anticipated album Pink Friday. The album drops Nov. 22, My Time Now will air on MTV Nov. 28. I think it will be interesting to see her behind the scenes since she always seems to be “on” in the public eye. I really love how she connects with her family in Trinidad.

Yes. Finally. Usher, this is what I love to see. MTV premiered Usher’s new video Hey Daddy (Daddy’s Home) directed by Chris Robinson today. The song is hot, the video…even hotter. I love that it’s not the cookie cutter dancing in club you’d typically see from Usher on upbeat songs. Even more, I like how the video tells a story of how he balances his career and personal life. The video is a great snapshot of what we can expect from Raymond vs Raymond slated to drop the end of March.

ABC News aired  a snippet of Diane Sawyer’s interview with Rihanna since her alleged altercation with then boyfriend Chris Brown. She speaks candidly on some of the details — more than Chris gave in his interview with Larry King. Part 1 aired this morning and the rest will air tomorrow morning and then Friday night at 10 p.m. on “20/20.”

Personally I’m glad Rihanna waited so long to speak. The entire situation has died down and she’s really had time to process the whole thing rather than just react to what people are said about her. She seems to be speaking from the heart and with her head now and she’s not afraid to speak what she feels. I hope this will not only be an eye opener to young teens, but also the many Caribbean women who put up with abuse — she speaks to both demographics.

While on the same night the full interview with Rihanna airs with ABC, Chris Brown speaks to MTV’s Sway. Check out the complete interview Friday at 6 p.m. ET/PT on MTV.

Coincidence…I think not. Both of these young stars have great people surrounding them.

Bottom line: They’re both human, they’re both young, they both made mistakes and both are trying to move on with their careers.
