Nicki Minaj will link up with David Guetta and Flo Rida to perform their smash collaboration “Where Them Girls At” for the first time on NBC’s talent competition “America’s Got Talent.”


The episode featuring the trio’s performance is scheduled to air on August 31 at 9 p.m., two days after Guetta’s album Nothing But the Beat arrives in stores. The dance track reached No. 14 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Additionally, Nicki has been announced as a presenter for Sunday’s MTV Video Music Awards and is rumored to be participating in the musical tribute to her tourmate Britney Spears.

Eminem has earned yet another accolade. Rolling Stone has bestowed the rap titan with its current King of Hip-Hop title based on his album sales, YouTube views, and social-media scores.


Not far behind Marshall Mathers is Lil Wayne, who claims second place based on his album and ticket sales, online rankings, and awards, while his Young Money cohort Drake comes in third.

The list is not a ranking of all-time greatest MCs. Instead, the magazine selected 20 solo rappers who have dropped an album from 2009 through the first seven months of 2011. The positions were determined by album sales, rankings on the R&B/hip-hop and rap charts, YouTube views, social media, concert grosses, industry awards, and critics’ ratings.

Contenders included Big Boi, B.o.B, Diddy, Drake, Eminem, Fabolous, Lupe Fiasco, Gucci Mane, Jay-Z, Kid Cudi, Lil Wayne, Ludacris, Nicki Minaj, Pitbull, Rick Ross, Snoop Dogg, T.I., Waka Flocka Flame, Kanye West, and Wiz Khalifa.

Despite the “king” title, Nicki Minaj is the sole female on the list, beating out some of her male peers for the No. 6 spot. See the full list below.

Nicki Minaj is known for her various alter-egos, and now she’s about to take one of her many personalities to the big screen. The Pink Friday rapper will lend her voice to the animated 3D flick Ice Age: Continental Drift.


According to Variety, Minaj has been added to an all-star cast that includes her fellow Young Money rapper Drake, Jennifer Lopez, Queen Latifah, Aziz Ansari, Wanda Sykes, and Keke Palmer, among others.

But that’s not the only voice-over gig Nicki has booked. In addition to her movie role, she will guest on Fox’s animated TV series “The Cleveland Show” this fall.

The fourth installment in the Ice Age series is slated for release on July 13, 2012, while “The Cleveland Show” returns this fall.

Police have released the emergency call that was made when Nicki Minaj visited the Palomar Hotel in Dallas last month. The hotel’s front office manager placed the call after he reportedly saw Nicki get hit in the face. The “Super Bass” rapper can be heard arguing with a male in the background. At one point she screams, “Look at what he did to my face!”

TMZ originally reported that cops were called to the hotel on July 12 after Nicki complained that a man hit her in the face with a suitcase. She refused to press charges after paramedics arrived.

Nicki previously fired back at media reports on Twitter. “The fact that u believe a man either slapped or punched me in the face & didn’t leave on a stretcher w/his balls hangin off? #getaF%cknLife,” she wrote. “The media could pee on ur leg & tell u its raining. You’d believe it. You’d believe u were an adopted martian if TMZ told u so. #stopit5.”

After the call was released today, Nicki tweeted: “Can u pls get off my penis?” Listen to the 911 call HERE.

Nicki Minaj was spotted out in Miami, Florida wearing a pair of Opening Ceremony Margot wedge sandals ($730). These orange leopard print and patent leather platform sandals feature a lace-up front, open-toe, open heel, and a high wedge heel.

Nicki Minaj is puckering up for a good cause. The “Super Bass” rapper has been announced as the newest spokeswoman for the M.A.C AIDS Fund VIVA GLAM initiative.


The Harajuku Barbie will star along with Latin superstar Ricky Martin in the cosmetics company’s 2012 campaign, set to launch in February. All sales from VIVA GLAM lip products will benefit the fight against HIV/AIDS.

Famed photographer David LaChapelle is shooting the ads with the duo today in Miami. “Viva Glam Photo Shoot. Ur gonna GAG!!!!!” wrote an excited Nicki. “Can’t wait for my barbz & ken barbz to wear this new shade of lipstick! Wait til u see it! Sickening!!!!”

Minaj follows past VIVA GLAM spokesmodels including Lady Gaga, Lil’ Kim, Missy Elliott, Eve, Mary J. Blige, Christina Aguilera, and Fergie. The fund has raised $224 million to date.

This is not the first time the two have worked together. Last year, the Young Money raptress teamed up with M.A.C to release a limited edition “Pink 4 Friday” lipstick

Yesterday Lil Mama stopped by Power 105.1’s The Breakfast Club in New York to chat with host Charlamagne, and got unexpectedly emotional during the interview, going so far as to shed a few tears. What made the “NY NY LA LA” rapper break down? No, it wasn’t because anyone accused her lip gloss of not being cool or poppin’ — it was in response to being told that she didn’t seem focused on music anymore, coupled with rising grief about her mother succumbing to cancer. Head below to watch Lil Mama go “On & On & On” about her music, promoting her career, and her beef with Nicki Minaj. (Tears flow near the 20-minute mark.)


Yeah, The Breakfast Club sometimes makes us cry, too — but we’re talking about the John Hughes movie.

Nicki Minaj speaks on hustling her way from a waitress and customer service manager to the top of the charts in her E! special, airing tonight at 10 p.m. The one-hour event features interviews with the platinum hitmaker as well as her mother and “hype man” Safaree “SB” Samuels. Watch a sneak peek below.

The glamour model built her reputation on her unbelievable curves, so it's only natural that, in interviews, conversations should steer towards her peers' derrières. When Perez Hilton chatted with Coco about her new reality television show, Ice Loves Coco, he took the time to ask her whether she believed Nicki Minaj's tush was natural.

Coco was surprisingly frank, telling Perez that Minaj had once admitted it was fake to her. Coco seemed to realize that she'd perhaps overshared, as she quickly uttered, "Okay I don't know...we're not even going to go there anymore!"

But then Coco explained, "You know what I say about a lot of stylists that work with me...They work with me, they touch my body, they're doing stuff all day long. So they're doing that same thing to Nicki MInaj and they're saying [her body is] a little bit different."

Nicki Minaj has been dodging butt enhancement rumors for years. She's always brushed off the reports, saying it didn't bother her: "People will pick anything to talk about, and that happens to be the thing at the moment. I love being a conversation piece."

Coco, for the record, swears her rear is the real thing.

After performing on Lil Wayne’s “I Am Still Music” tour and her upcoming slot opening for Britney Spears, Nicki Minaj is getting ready to hit the road solo. Young Money’s First Lady is sharing plans for her own tour in 2012.


“Next year, I’ll be headlining my own tour,” the “Super Bass” rapper told UsMagazine.com, “So this is my time to be a student and to learn and to absorb all of this information and then take that knowledge and create an amazing Pink Friday tour at the top of 2012.”

She may have new music to perform by then. The hip-hop Barbie previously teased about her sophomore album. “You’ll get another album within 12 months,” she told KIIS FM’s JoJo. “You’ll get the announcement for the next album in September.”

Before she heads out on her own, she will pick up some tips from Britney Spears on the pop star’s “Femme Fatale” tour starting June 17. “I’m honored to be out with Britney. She’s freakin’ paved the way for pop culture,” added Nicki. “We are in talks to hit the stage together but that is up to her. I would love to, of course. If we do something on tour, it will probably be the ['Till the World Ends'] remix. I’m sure there are so many things I’m going to learn just by watching her.”

Wake up to the sounds of your favorite artists this summer. “Good Morning America” has announced the blockbuster lineup for its annual summer concert series and it includes some female megastars.


Beyoncé will fire up the stage to perform songs from her upcoming fourth album on “GMA’s Summer Concert Series.” Her fellow femme fatales Nicki Minaj, Mary J. Blige, and Jennifer Hudson will also bring their hits to Rumsey Playfield in New York’s Central Park over the next few months. Additionally, Taio Cruz, Florence + the Machine, Selena Gomez, all Top 11 “American Idol” contestants, and more have been added to the diverse roster.

But kicking things off is Lady Gaga, performing songs from the highly-anticipated Born This Way on May 27, four days after the album’s release. Tickets for her show will be distributed to the public for free in advance.

The rest of the concerts are also free but non-ticketed, and will take place live during “Good Morning America,” Fridays from 7 to 9 a.m. EST. Dates and additional acts will be revealed throughout the summer.

Meanwhile, NBC’s “Today” show has announced its own jam-packed lineup for their summer music extravaganza, which includes Rihanna, Chris Brown, Bruno Mars, and Cee Lo Green.

After some delay, Nicki Minaj pulls back the covers on her vibrant video for “Super Bass,” the latest single from her platinum debut Pink Friday. The buxom Barb dons an assortment of colorful wigs in the Sanaa Hamri-directed visuals, riding a motorcycle made of ice, splashing in a pool of pink water, and reprising her lap dances in the dark, with plenty of eye candy to go around. Step into Nicki’s whimsical world.

Nicki Minaj has a date with the stars. Young Money’s First Lady is headed to “Dancing With the Stars” to perform on next week’s show.


Fresh off wrapping the “I Am Still Music” tour with Lil Wayne in Canada on Friday night, the head Barb will take the stage to deliver her hit single “Moment 4 Life” on Tuesday’s results show alongside the professional dancers.

Nicki, who has been nominated for Best Collaboration Video for “Check It Out” at the MTV Video Music Awards Japan, will join Chris Brown and Jennifer Hudson as performers on this season of ABC’s hit show.

Nicki Minaj packed her bags and headed up north for the final dates on the “I Am Still Music” tour. The rap diva looked mighty serious, dressed down in a black wig, cropped leather jacket, and tight gray pants, as she arrived in Canada with her entourage in tow, pushing carts of Louis Vuitton luggage. Lil Wayne and Nicki’s outing wraps tomorrow at Calgary’s Scotiabank Saddledome before she heads out on the road with Britney Spears in June.

Here is a caption.Back in the day, celebrity fragrances were the exception not the norm. Nowadays, it doesn't matter if you're a reality star or an Oscar winner, any celeb worth her salt has a scent for the masses to pick up. 

Nicki Minaj is no exception and is already planning ahead for her future perfume. She tells Allure:
Hopefully, I'll do one this year. I like scents that feel summer-y, but have a va-va-voom [factor]. I want to smell like a sexy and confident woman, not like candy. What do you think, are you looking forward to a Nicki Minaj scent?

Sway sat down to interview Nicki Minaj and Drake in a New Orleans hotel last week and wound up being the third wheel as the “Moment 4 Life” collaborators threw questions (and flirtatious glances) at one another. Sandwiched between the Young Money artists, the VJ was not only caught in the crossfire of their playful teasing, but when the made man checked his cellphone during one of the equal opportunity lap dancer’s answer, the MTV news correspondent almost found himself a casualty of Roman’s revenge from the visibly irritated Pink Friday raptress. Watch it all go down below.

It’s official. Nicki Minaj will be hitting the road with Britney Spears on her summer tour.


After reports surfaced earlier this month, sources confirm to TMZ that a deal was finalized several days ago. Britney and her team are said to be “elated” with the trek’s new opening act after Enrique Iglesias pulled at the last minute.

Those involved with the negotiations believe the Young Money raptress will create even more buzz for the pop superstar’s tour, which kicks off on June 17 in Sacramento, Calif.

Nicki is currently traveling the country with Lil Wayne, Rick Ross, and Travis Barker on the “I Am Music II” tour, winding down on April 29 in Canada.

How do you feel about Britney’s new opening act? We want to know!

The I Am Music II tour is currently trekking through Florida, and Nicki Minaj decided to make it ladies’ night in Orlando last night. Minaj invited both a male and a female fan on stage, with the idea that one of them would receive a lap dance from the Elle Women In Music featured artist. “Should I give it to the girl or the boy?” the be-wigged MC asked the audience. And, come on—you know which one they went for. Watch things get girlie at Orlando’s Amway Center below.

Nicki Minaj helped saved the planet and met a fashion icon all in one night. Vogue editor-in-chief Anna Wintour reached out to the hip-hop heroine to appear at the Green Auction: Bid to Save the Earth at Christie’s in New York City last night. The Young Money fashionista dressed for the occasion, rocking a green and blonde monster ‘do while performing with her Barbie dancers to preserve the Earth’s natural resources.

“Dear Barbz, who knew wen I gave anna wintour a s/o in ‘muny’ she’d b calling me 2 perform @ a vogue charity event. Lmao. Headed there now,” tweeted Nicki, who dreams of gracing the cover of the fashion bible.

Lil Wayne delivered a shocker to Angie Martinez when he revealed that he hasn’t heard Drake or Nicki Minaj’s platinum-selling albums in full.


“I never heard Drake’s album. I never heard Nicki’s album,” he told the Hot 97 personality. “I swear to God. I work too hard.”

The news may not come as such a surprise to his Young Money protégés. “They would probably guess it. I’m always focused on something and it captures my whole attention, I can’t do nothing else,” he added, making sure not to offend them. “Drake and Nick, don’t take that no kinda way.”

Due to his hectic schedule, the “6 Foot 7 Foot” rapper also hasn’t seen Toya Carter and daughter Reginae’s BET reality show “Toya: A Family Affair” and is not even curious about it. “I let her do her thing,” he said about his ex-wife. “It probably comes on at a time when I’m not at the house.”

However, he has had time to listen to Kanye West and Rick Ross’ latest albums, and his favorite show right now is MTV’s “Jersey Shore.”
