Nicki Minaj Cancels U.K. Fest Appearance Due To Bruised Vocal Cord
Over the weekend we heard sad yet shocking news about one of the biggest female artist in hip hop.  Sources report Nicki Minaj  was forced to pull out of the U.K.’s V Festival this weekend due to a “bruised vocal cord.”
A rep for Minaj sent an email to MTV News explaining that the problems actually started earlier this week before last Tuesday’s show in New York. Minaj’s doctor had suggested she not perform, but Nicki took the stage anyway.
The rep says the vocal cord got worse as a result of the show, and another x-ray led doctors to advise Minaj to rest for a few more days.
After calling my sources who work for Nicki they told me that “she’s been working non stop and its sad that people are sending her shocking tweets and writing horrible false story about why she’s not performing”. they then said “Nicki doesn’t know how to take a break and time for herself cause she loves her fans so much.”
Nicki tweeted:Â Read More »

Family & Fans React To New Song From Aaliyah And Drake : Family Not Supporting Album
Drake’s involvement in Aaliyah’s new posthumous single “Enough Said” is getting mixed reviews from fans online. MTV News reports the pro-Drizzy crowd took to Twitter after the song was posted online this weekend, thanking the Toronto rapper for continuing the late R&B singer’s legacy. But not everyone is on board. Twitter-user @tiphonic said “Drake’s obsession” with Aaliyah — he sports two tattoos honoring the singer — is a little scary. Others also said frequent Aaliyah collaborators Timbaland and Missy Elliott should be involved in any new music from the singer, a point Timbaland agrees with. The producer said in an April radio interview that “it would not be right” for Drake to go forward with a new Aaliyah project without himself and Elliott.
“Enough Said” is rumored to be the first single from an entire posthumous album from Aaliyah, which Drake may be executive producing. However, the record and its possible production team have yet to be confirmed.
NecoleBitchie reports over the past few weeks there has been talks of an Aaliyah posthumous album (executive produced by Drake and his producing partner Noah ’40′ Shebib) as well as talks of a biopic which has been going on for years. Read More »
