Love & Hip Hop New York star Safaree Samuels broke up with longtime girlfriend Nicki Minaj a little over three years ago. But, thanks in part to Nicki’s reluctance to talk about it, the exact reason for Safaree and Nicki’s split has always been something of a mystery. However, the recent leak of Safaree’s impressive…
Nicki Minaj’s first performative foray came via a group called Hoodrats, a quartet that also featured Bowlegged Lou’s son Lou$tar, current Love & Hip Hop Hollywood star Safaree Samuels, and 7even Up. Nicki was only a member of the group for a few years, but her tenure featured at least one interesting non-musical experience: according…
Nicki Minaj is sick and tired of her ex-boyfriend, and she let everybody know about it last night in a series of derogatory tweets. The rapper put ex Safaree Samuels on serious blast, claiming that he had filed a lawsuit against her and that it was all about jealousy and his own “miserable” inability to…
Nicki Minaj opened up about her “engagement rings” on today’s Ellen. The always entertaining 33-year-old rap star tried to explain what her diamond rings from Meek represents. “First of all, that’s not an engagement ring. I have two rings from this boy that likes me and he said that that’s my second ring and that…
Actress and comedian Stevie Ryan is a huge fan of Teen Mom and Teen Mom 2, and she is never one to hold back her opinion on any of the on-screen or off-screen drama involving the cast. (You might remember her previous heated altercations with Jenelle Evans!) Of course it would make sense that Stevie…
Adele certainly didn’t disappoint the millions of viewers who’ve checked out her teaser clip for last night’s carpool karaoke ride with Late Late Show host James Corden. The full segment featured the 27-year-old belting her way through not only some of her hits, but some by the Spice Girls, and a pretty epic turn at Nicki Minaj’s “Monster.”…
Yesterday, rapper Nicki Minaj inadvertently kicked off an epic, headline-grabbing feud with Teen Mom OG star Farrah Abraham when she was live tweeting a rerun episode and wrote, “Farrah is a c*nt to her mother.” Surprisingly, Farrah’s mother, Debra Danielsen, remained quiet on her own Twitter account during the whole ordeal. Moments ago, however, it…
We can add Nicki Minaj to the long list of huge celebrities who are fans of Teen Mom! The rapper took a little time out of her busy schedule for some Sunday afternoon MTV and chill earlier today, and she couldn’t resist taking to Twitter to share her reaction to the show’s most divisive star,…
The Nicki Minaj social media absence is starting to alarm many of Minaj’s fans, who are used to her frequent Instagram and Twitter updates. Minaj has been away from internet for a full week–ever since controversy erupted over a Halloween video she shared in which she appeared to make fun of a crippled partygoer. Now,…
It might be November, but the Bill Cosby Halloween costume controversy continues to captivate onlookers. Nicki Minaj waded into the ongoing #PillCosby debate with a Halloween Instagram post in which she appeared to take defenders to task. In case you missed it, the Bill Cosby Halloween costume controversy erupted over the weekend, thanks to the…
While accepting the award for Best Hip-Hop Video on tonight’s VMAs, Nicki gave a sarcastic-sounding speech about following your dreams and then thanked her preacher before launching in on an impassioned attack on the show’s host. “And now, back to this b**** that had a lot to say about me the other day in the…
The “Nicki Minaj pregnant” rumors are flying fast and furious, following a curious comment by the pop sensation. Minaj was performing to an adoring crowd at the First Niagra Pavilion out there in Burgettstown PA, as part of her massive Pinkpoint Tour. Current boyfriend Meek Mill, 28, is the tour’s opening act; he and the 32-year-old Minaj…
Madame Tussauds might consider changing their name to Madame Tushauds after unveiling their new Nicki Minaj wax figure inspired by her racy “Anaconda” music video. The wax figure was unveiled at the famous wax museum’s Las Vegas location earlier today. Nick Minaj is portrayed on all fours wearing gold chains and very revealing black bottoms…
The ongoing feud between Drake and Meek Mill feud continues as Drake releases a brand new track titled “Back to Back Freestyle” in which he goes off on Meek in a very unsubtle manner, although her never calls him out by name. (So is this subrapping?) Anyways, in addition to responding to Meek Mill’s allegations…
It’s been a Twitter feud apocalypse this week after Nicki Minaj’s MTV VMA snub! Joining Katy Perry and Taylor Swift in the fracas, albeit on a different tangent, is Nicki’s boyfriend Meek Mill, who called out Drake for not writing his own music! The drama began when Meek, seemingly angry about Nicki’s industry diss, posted…
Although Nicki Minaj received an impressive three VMA nominations this year, she was notably absent from the Video of the Year category… And wasn’t very happy about it. Hey guys @MTV thank you for my nominations. ??? Did Feeling Myself miss the deadline or…? — NICKI MINAJ (@NICKIMINAJ) July 21, 2015 If I was a…
On March 30, Jay Z and an army of some of the most successful musicians on the planet including wife Beyonce, Rihanna, Kanye West, Jack White, Nicki Minaj, Daft Punk, Madonna, Usher, and Chris Martin announced a brand new streaming service called Tidal, an app that cost more than competitors Pandora and Spotify, but which…
Does Nicki Minaj have an engagement ring or just some new bling? Yesterday, the singer sparked rumors she’s engaged to Meek Mill, her boyfriend of a few months, by sharing a picture of a stunning 15-carat heart-shaped diamond that’s estimated to cost upwards of $500,000. To add to the mystery, Nicki just added some emojis….
Life must get boring, sometimes, when you’re an internationally-known pop star on tour. You travel from city to city; you meet with some fans before the show; you have the show itself; and maybe you go out afterward, but, more often than not, you’ve got to hit the road to make the next gig….
For her new album, Nicki Minaj told The Rolling Stone one of her goals “was to give people a glimpse into my personal life” — and she proved her point by opening up about the abortion she got during high school. Nicki explained that while attending the prestigious LaGuardia performing arts school, she got involved…
She won some praise for doing it on SNL, so Minaj followed that performance with an encore on Ellen. But was she being sincere, sarcastic–or both? Check the video and see for yourself.
The Washington Wizards won a dramatic double-overtime game last night but it was the team’s star, John Wall, and his emotional response to having lost a young friend that will be the lasting memory from the evening. See Wall as he is overcome during the post-game interview and see his heart-felt tweet to 6-year-old Miyah – who lost her battle with cancer.
It’s unclear why the snake, which is a long-time showbiz pro, picked this particular day to bite someone. The latest speculation is that it was in an excited state from having just watched the “Anaconda” video.
After recently suffering a major medical scare, Nicki Minaj said she realized other celebrities have probably died because they would rather try to manage on their own than call an ambulance and risk alerting the media.
Nicki Minaj released the cover art for her brand new single “Anaconda” earlier today and the pretty-much-not-SFW bunbelievable pic had the rapper’s Anacondadonk trending on Twitter on pretty much every continent. (Some things simply do not need translating.)
Nicki Minaj has a message for ESPN photo editors: Step away from the airbrush. The Music Issue cover girl publicly criticized the magazine for making her forehead “mysteriously grow in length.”
Tell us how you really feel, Mariah! The former American Idol judge said she hated the experience, which she compared to working “in Hell with Satan.”
Nicki Minaj was less over-the-top and more elegant glamour at Saturday night’s The Herve Leger by Max Azria Spring 2014 Runway Show Collection.
Kmart made the official announcement back in January that they would be partnering with singer Nicki Minaj on a brand new line of fashion and accessories schedules to hit stores some time this year. Though “The Nicki Minaj Collection” is not available for purchase quite yet, Nicki posted some photos of herself modeling a few of the looks on instagram last week! Keep reading to see those photos as well as some preview pictures of models wearing lots more looks from the collection!
Mickey Boardman isn’t afraid to clash and tell! He spills on his experiences with “nutty” Mariah Carey, “not fun” Nicki Minaj, “pretty horrible” Ben Stiller and more!
Nicki Minaj calls her fans “Barbz” and they even have their own secret language. Barbz is a reference to all the Barbie doll imagery she uses in her branding, and the “z” is there for some extra sass. Nicki’s take on Barbie is empowered, and a little deranged. Nicki’s Barbie doll might literally bite your head off. This January she discussed this special language she shares with her Barbz with Jimmy Kimmel, but still manages to not decipher much of it.
Fox’s former flagship competition series American Idol continues sinking as both Mariah Carey and Nicki Minaj announced today they are jumping ship and won’t be back next season. Keep reading for both of their announcements as well as the statements from Fox and Idol producers on both Mariah and Nicki’s departures. Now begins what the show seems to be all about now, which is a competition show for judges competing to judge a singing competition show.
Nicki Minaj signed on to be a judge for American Idol just before their current season began airing, joining fellow R&B diva Mariah Carey. The two personalities didn’t mesh well to say the least, and many fans feel that their non-stop feuding has taken away from the mission of the show — which is to find America’s top singer, not be a reality show about drama between the judges. With the show’s ratings at an all-time low, producers are feeling the pressure to make a change, and it appears that Nicki Minaj won’t be returning next season.
Lil Wayne may be known for being a lil’ out of control, but he kept things respectful while filming a steamy music video for Nicki Minaj’s “High School” (below.)
Nicki Minaj went bare on the cover of Elle magazine’s April 2013 issue, at least bare for her.
I don’t want you to wig out or commit hairy-kiri when you hear this, but it looks like there’s gonna be someone new in Nicki Minaj’s hair’s life. It’s gonna be okay, we gonna make it through this y’all.
Sometimes I just have to write these bad rascals up because of the wonderful pop name associations. I figured the opportunity may never come again to refer to Nicki Minaj, Steven Tyler and Bob Dylan in the same post so I better get to it before the times they start a changing. Tyler called out Minaj using Dylan as a reference and Nicki fired back via Twitter calling Tyler a racist based on his statements. Get the blow by blow that was blowing in the wind and find out why both Tyler and Minaj were way off base with their assumptions.
Okay, so everyone (optimistically) thought Justin Beiber had a sex tape this week when he started talking about losing “a lot of personal footage” because someone stole his equipment. A photo of a male member even floated around the internet, which turned out to not be Justin.
In fact, the “footage” in question is probably just a music video premiere.
Nicki Minaj loves to rock a colorful wig, but she’s recently let us get a glimpse of what’s underneath all that blond and neon.
Watch Nicki Minaj give Mariah Carey a tongue lashing in a clip leaked from yesterday’s American Idol auditions. Oh, it’s on!
Nicki Minaj is joining the ranks of Kim Kardashian and Ice T — at least according to new reports. After landing a gig on American Idol earlier this month, Nicki seems to be on a roll and has now allegedly landed her own reality special on the E! Network.
It’s Friday, and that usually means it’s time to kick back and party, so every Friday we’re gonna round up some of the hottest new music to help everyone get their party on. This week we’ve got Christina Aguilera, Nicki Minaj, Taylor Swift, and One Direction (well, we’ve got some artwork.)
The hippest event in all of television went off without a hitch last night as the 2012 MTV Video Music Awards was able to wrap up its two-hour show just in time for President Barak Obama’s scheduled speech at the Democratic National Convention in Charlotte.
Kanye West and Lady Gaga were not in attendance, host Kevin Hart kept things relatively uncontroversial, and Taylor Swift was able to retain her microphone. The result was a rather tame (by VMA standards) but very entertaining two hours that saw One Direction take home three Moon Men including Best New Artist, Chris Brown winning Best Male Video for “Turn Up the Music,” Nicki Minaj winning Best Female Video for “Starships” and Rihanna taking the top prize of Video of the Year for “We Found Love.”
Keep reading for a recap of the night’s festivities including a complete list of winners and performances!
Nicki Minaj continues her skyrocket rise to pop culture domination by following up reports that she will be one of the judges on Season 12 of American Idol with the first photo of the bottle for her new Pink Friday fragrance! Minaj fans (aka Barbz) will be extremely pleased to know they can soon not only smell like their rappin’, snappin’, take-no-crappin’ heroine, but they also get a little Nicki figurine for their dresser or makeup counter!
Nicki Minaj is the latest celebrity to reportedly be joining the judges’ panel on the upcoming 12th season of American Idol after both Jennifer Lopez and Steven Tyler announced they’d be leaving the show following last season. A couple of sources have confirmed the news, and while it may come as a surprise to most, she’d been eyeing the job for months!
Today’s lesson in irony comes from rapper Nicki Minaj, who was in the middle of a speech thanking her fans for their love and support during a concert in Miami Tuesday night when one of those fans decided to show his love and support up close by jumping up on stage and touching Minaj. Nicki stopped abruptly as security guards (I assume) rushed the man and carried him backstage, kicking and punching him all along the way.
The world of Barbzdom is up in arms after their icon Nicki Minaj deleted her Twitter account Sunday following a dispute with fans and accusing website NickiDaily.com of posting leaked tracks. The “leaked tracks” were reportedly just snippets from Minaj’s new album Romans Reloaded that were available on iTunes, but that was enough for Minaj to block their Twitter account. In the aftermath of blocking the site there was a huge reaction on Twitter as Nicki’s fans began choosing sides. Eventually the drama was too much for Minaj, who tweeted some rather nasty things before writing, “Like seriously, its but so much a person can take. Good f***ing bye” and then suspending her account completely.
Nicki Minaj tweeted some fun photos of herself wearing a carnival popcorn dress with real popcorn and candy coming out of the top Toyko, Japan right where she’s promoting her second album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded (drops April 3, click here to pre-order.)
Nicki Minaj unveiled the album cover to her sophomore effort Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded on Twitter earlier today, along with the tweet, “Pink Friday: ROMAN RELOADED | April 3rd | #AlbumCover #ItBangBang.” The artwork features a blonde Minaj with Ke$ha-esque ’80s glam fluorescent face paint set against a colorful splatter paint background. I don’t about you, but it has me humming “How Will I Know” by Whitney Houston for some reason.
Here’s a blast from the not-so-distant past in the form of an official Nicki Minaj music video from well before Pink Friday. The song features a slightly less Barbie-ized Nicki spittin’ rhymes on the street – first with a bit of stylized video editing, and then just straight-forward Nicki doing what it is that has made her an international superstar.
Last night’s Grammy Awards featured hundreds of elegantly clad superstars in designer clothing as music industry royalty graced the red carpet in designer gowns and over-the-top costumery. But, the belles of the ball were unquestionably viral video mavens Sophia grace and Rosie, who brought their indomitable good spirits to the event packaged in froo froo pink skirts and shimmering gold tops with “ellen” proudly spelled out across the front. Keep reading for photos and to watch Sophia’s amazing Youtube video performing Nicki Minaj’s “Super Bass” that went viral last October and landed these two British girls on ellen and eventually the Grammy Awards!
The Grammy Awards is famous for some of the most outrageous fashion statements of the year as music’s best use the red carpet to show off their eccentric tastes. (Remember Lady Gaga arriving in an egg?) This year the jaw-droppingest eyebrow raiser of the evening was rapper Nicki Minaj who arrived in a lucious Little Red Riding Hood look hand in hand with the Pope!
Apparently today is an official Pink Friday because Nicki Minaj not only picked up Billboard’s “Rising Star” award and had a one-of-a-kind Barbie doll created by Mattel put up for auction earlier today, but she also dropped the single “Roman In Moscow” from her upcoming album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded! Keep reading to turn your Friday a lighter shade of red and kick off your weekend with some o’ dat Minajtastic rappery!
So what do Nicki Minaj, Rachel Zoe, Carol Channing, and Janet Jackson have in common? They’ve all had one-of-a-kind Barbie dolls made by Mattel to be auctioned off for charity! Minaj, who refers to herself and fans as “Barbies” and “Barbz,” is the latest to be honored by the doll maker and her Pink Friday album cover inspired Barbie is currently up for auction at CharityBuzz.com with the proceeds going to Project Angel Food. But, you’d better hurry up because the bidding is already up to $1,100 at the time of this post. Keep reading for super-sized photos and links so you can put in your bid for the ultimate gift for the ultimate Nicki Minaj fan!
Tonight was the 2011 Victoria’s Secret Fashion Show and adding to the visual smorgasbord of colorful unmentionables and elaborate matching costumes was the queen of elaborate and colorful herself, Nicki Minaj. Keep reading for pictures of Miss Minaj performing “Super Bass” on stage, including one with a VS Angel sporting a skirt that must have been stolen right out of Nicki’s closet!
British Sophia Grace Brownlee, 8, took the world by storm last week when her precocious cover of Nicki Minaj’s “Super Bass” was uploaded to YouTube. Supported by her 5-year-old cousin Rosie, Sophia Grace tore through the complicated rap lyrics, and powerfully belted out the melodic chorus like a professional singer.
On the Ellen show Sophia actually got to duet with her idol Nicki Minaj in a tear-jerking moment!
Rapper Nicki Minaj is no stranger to eccentric fashion choices, and her choice of cleavage bling for the I Heart Radio music festival this weekend is something you have to KFC to believe! Perhaps inspired by Lady Gaga’s famous meat dress, Nicki accessorized with a bit of protein of her own with a hot pink fried chicken wing necklace! Keep reading for photos of her fried fowl fashion faux pas!
Rapper Nicki Minaj took home the moon man for most bizarre outfit at the 2011 MTV Video Music Awards, thanks in large part to Lady Gaga kicking the show off as her Grease-inspired male alter ego Jo Calderone. Nicki Minaj arrived looking like a living anime fetish cartoon dressed in a stealth bomb mirrored dress after covering her legs in super glue just before walking through a Goodwill toy donation bin.
Nicki Minaj made a live performance today on Good Morning America and apparently there was another part of Nicki’s body that wanted to say good morning too! See three HI-RES cubicle approved shots from the performance with one click full page links to the Icky Nicki!
Nicki Minaj’s cousin was gunned down in the early morning hours on the 4th of July after a night of partying. Was it a case of mistaken identify?
