    Nicki Minaj: Did She Blow Off the NBA?

    Nicki Minaj is being sued for allegedly blowing off an NBA All-Star party back in 2011. It doesn’t sound like the ‘Anaconda’ rapper to blow off anything party-related. Do you think there’s any basis to this lawsuit?

    Cahuenga, Inc. has filed a lawsuit against Nicki Minaj, alleging that she breached her contract to serve as host for that party back in February of 2011. The suit claims she was paid a generous sum to appear at the event, to which she was late. She allegedly only stayed half as long as she was contracted to stay.

    The lawsuit claims that Nicki Minaj was paid $53,050 to appear at the NBA All-Star Weekend event at Hollywood’s Siren Studios. It goes on to say that she was supposed to host the party from 1:00 A.M., but showed up at 1:30 and was gone by 2:00. The suit is alleging breach of contact, unjust enrichment and other counts–meaning Cahuenga wants its $53,050 back, “plus lost revenues, including but not limited to, refund claims and lost sales.”

    Nicki Minaj’s reps have yet to publicly acknowledge the lawsuit. One source believes the whole situation was simply a matter of Minaj being a diva. She certainly exhibited highly skilled diva traits when serving as a judge on American Idol. In fact, she closely rivaled fellow judge Mariah Carey in the diva category–don’t you think?

    Diva or no diva, when you sign your name on the dotted line, you are expected to honor that contract–even if your name is Nicki Minaj.

    Do you think Nicki Minaj blew off the NBA? Do you expect she will have to repay the $50,000? Or will her lawyers find a loophole and get her out of this legal mess?

    Fans can check out Nicki Minaj–likely in her true diva form–at the VMAs this coming weekend. Airing on August 24th, the ‘Pills N Potions’ singer is on tap to perform.

  • Nicki Minaj Wins Best Female Hip-Hop Artist, Shares Her Near Death Experience

    Nicki Minaj donned a refreshing look at the recently concluded 2014 BET Awards held on June 29. The singer wore her curly hair down and her makeup was toned-down – far from her usual look.

    She opened her performance by entering the stage on a bike. She disappeared for a while and emerged from a giant mushroom singing “Pills N Potions.” The set seemed to be inspired by Alice in Wonderland complete with rabbits, twigs, mushrooms, and fog adding to the dreamy effect.

    It was a big night for Minaj who won the best female hip-hop artist for the fifth consecutive time. During her speech, she thanked Lil Wayne for giving her support. She also talked about writing her own lyrics and getting the recognition she deserves from the music industry.

    Her speech also turned serious when she talked about her near death experience.

    “The other day, literally I didn’t tell anybody this, I really thought I was about to die. Like, I was saying my prayers to die. And I didn’t even want to call the ambulance because I thought, ‘Well if I call the ambulance, it’s going to be on TMZ,’” she said.

    She continued, “And I would rather sit there and die. And it made me realize I don’t care what anybody got to say. I’m going to do me.”

    Other winners at the awards ceremony included Pharrell Williams for best male R&B artist/pop artist, Beyonce for best female R&B/pop singer, Lupita Nyong’o and Chiwetel Ejiofor for acting, Drake for best male hip-hop artist, and Young Money as the best group. Lionel Richie was also given a lifetime achievement award for his musical contributions.

    The ceremony took away the attention from the reports of a stabbing and shooting at separate parties celebrating the awards ceremony. According to news reports, five people were injured and one was killed.
