E! Confirms Three-Special Deal for Nicki Minaj; Rapper Calls It a “Milestone for Hip-Hop”

(AllHipHop News) In just a few short years, Nicki Minaj’s career has transcended radio and retail, and now, fans can add television to her resume.

The Queens-born rapper had the rumor mill buzzing recently with speculation of a reality show or two on the horizon; however, E! News confirms the “Starships” rapper is going to be featured in a trilogy of specials beginning in November.

The shows will give viewers private access into Minaj’s professional and personal life, with never seen before footage. She allowed MTV this same access in 2010 with “My Time Now.”

Minaj caught up with MTV news earlier in the week and described why doing “American Idol”was so important for her.

“It’s a milestone for me; it’s a milestone for hip-hop; it’s a milestone for young black women,” Minaj said. “Has there ever been a black woman [judging] on the show? This is a show that 20 million people watch, so I feel like we should be represented on that show and I’m very proud of my decision to do it.”

The platinum-selling rapper also launched her first fragrance Pink Friday recently

For more Nicki Minaj, look for the re-release of her latest album as Pink Friday Roman Reloaded: The Re-Up in stores.

 

 

 

 

 

 

Hip-Hop Rumors: Jigga Addresses Baby #2 Rumors

For the last couple of weeks now, the blogs have been finding any possible angle of Beyonce’s belly and have claimed that the singer and her husband, Jay-Z, are expecting another baby. Not the case, according to the Jigga man himself!

E! News got the scoop on the story at the NBA 2K13 release party at the 40/40 club earlier this week. Check out what Jigga had to say below:

“Are you having another baby?” we asked Hov Wednesday night at the NBA 2K13 release at the 40/40 Club in NYC.

“Tonight?” Jay-Z quipped. “No.”

“What about in nine months?” we prodded.

“Not in nine months,” Jay said. “Absolutely not.”

But before then? What about in seven or eight months?

“No,” Jay said. “Not in one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight or nine months.”

Jay did seem a bit annoyed by her questions. Check out the video interview with Jigga here.
