One of the first friends Nicki Minaj made when she made it big was Amber Rose. Nicki met Amber at one of the industry parties and the two hit it off. When she recorded on Kanye West's "Monster," she mentioned a possible threesome between herself, Amber Rose, and of course, Kanye West. At the time, West and Rose were still together.

There are numerous pictures of Nicki Minaj and Amber Rose partying on the internet. Because of the budding friendship between the ladies, many were thrown when Amber Rose's latest nude picture leaked to the internet.

With more rumors flying around about her pictures, Rose has decided to speak on it. She decided to do it through Twitter, as opposed to a press release. Amber Rose said she trusted one of her employees enough to use her laptop several times. Rose said she caught the employee sending her picutures to their email address and she fired them.

Once she realized what happened, Amber Rose told her family and Wiz Khalifa. This incident happend two months ago. Amber Rose said she was only preparing herself for this day because she knew it would be coming. Rose said those pictures are over two years old and she just had them sitting there on her laptop. It is very embarrassing for Amber Rose, now that those pictures are out. This is very hurtful to her because so many young girls look up to her.

Amber Rose said the photo leak has also hurt her businesses. Rose said one of the top businesses she works with has decided to stop working with her. This is costing her a large portion of her revenue and now she cannot take care of her family. Rose said it is sad when an evil person comes into your life and tries to destroy it. However, she realizes she is not the only person in the world this has happened to. Rose apologized to her Rosebuds and said this came from trusting the wrong people.

Before ending her post, Amber Rose said she has cried for over two days over the situation.

JR Staff Writer

In recent years, Chris Brown has let it be known he is one of the bad boys of R&B. Brown's lyrics range from physical intimacy to the tough guy routine. His actions in the public eye made it clear he is nothing to play with.

While his style may have changed, Brown has kept some aspects the same. Despite everything that has happened in his career, Chris Brown still loves the ladies. Even when in a committed relationship, Brown has the urge to please his female fans.

At a recent concert, Chris Brown channeled his Nicki Minaj and gave one female fan a lap dance. Following the dance, he kissed the woman. Earlier this year, Nicki Minaj gave her boss and label-mate, Lil Wayne, several lap dances.

After each lap dance, a new video of Nicki Minaj would surface on the internet. Once the lap dances began generating publicity, Nicki Minaj began doing more of them. Before she retired her lap dances, her most-notable one came when she danced on recently-divorced Phoenix Suns point guard, Steve Nash.

By The Music Scoop
JR Staff Writer

In 2007, Keyshia Cole released an anthem for the females, which has become a popular phrase, "Let it Go." The song was produced by Missy Elliott and featured rap verses from Elliott and Lil' Kim. "Let it Go" was a big hit for Keyshia Cole after most had written her off as a one hit wonder.

Aside from boosting Keyshia Cole into superstardom, the song also marked the return of Missy Elliott and Lil' Kim. Neither artist had released an album since 2005. Lil' Kim was working on her comeback album, which has yet to come. At the time, Lil' Kim and Keyshia Cole were becoming good friends.

Keyshia Cole went on to become a major star and took over the game with her next album. Meanwhile, Lil' Kim ended up leaving her longtime label, Atlantic Records. Nicki Minaj was on the mixtape circuit, quickly rising to emerge in the mainstream. Following her third album, Keyshia Cole took time off to build her family, during this time Nicki Minaj began dominating the radio waves.

Fast forward to 2010 and Lil' Kim has major issues with Nicki Minaj. Keyshia Cole is working on her own comeback attempt and she reaches out to Nicki Minaj for help. For months, Nicki Minaj remained silent while Lil' Kim dissed her repeatedly. But, before the end of 2010, Nicki Minaj began responding to her disses and hitting back with some of her own. Nicki Minaj decided to use her verse on Keyshia Cole's song to diss Lil' Kim.

Upon hearing the song, Lil' Kim said she and Mary J. Blige were going to team up to begin dissing both of the women. This diss never came and Keyshia Cole ignored the shots from Lil' Kim. Recently, the two got into it on Twitter. Lil' Kim questioned their friendship and Keyshia Cole said they did not have one outside of making music. She said she thanked her for working on her song, but she had absolutely nothing to do with the feud with Nicki Minaj.

This angered Lil' Kim and she said all bets are off with Keyshia Cole.

Early in her career, Swift had a run-in with black music that has followed her to this day.

Kanye West's outburst led to Taylor Swift crying once she got off stage and accepted her award. In the time since, Kanye West has reached out to Swift.

Ever since 2007, Nicki Minaj had been building a large following in New York City. But, in 2009, she gained national attention with her Beam Me Up Scotty mixtape. However, it was not until her verse on Ludacris' "My Chick Bad" and Usher's "Lil' Freak" when fans realized Nicki Minaj was here to stay.

Nicki Minaj proved to be very aggressive and curious in a sexual manner. The Queens rapper performed in Usher's "Lil' Freak" as a woman coming on to another woman. Given her robust figure and rather pretty face, her verse opened up fantasies for many men. The verse also was the beginning of several rumors.

During the fall of 2010, Nicki Minaj forged a friendship with Rihanna, another popular sex symbol. Ever since her split from Chris Brown, Rihanna has been a rumored lesbian. When the two began spending time together, rumors suggested they had hooked up. Both played into the rumors before angrily lashing out at the media.

For the first time giving a straight answer, Nicki Minaj said she is indeed straight. It turns out her lyrics are simply lyrics and nothing more. She raps about various things, but Nicki Minaj loves men when it comes down to it.

Back on top of his game, Lil Wayne is currently enjoying the success of his "6 Foot 7 Foot" hit. By the looks of things, nothing could spoil the rapper's fun. After spending most of 2010 in a jail cell, Lil Wayne intends to dominate 2011, making 2008 seem small in comparison.

With Tha Carter IV coming next month, Lil Wayne is raking in all kinds of cash. He also profits from his Young Money label, through stars, Drake and Nicki Minaj. Even with all of these sources of income, Lil Wayne could soon run into trouble. The rapper is facing tax issues.

Tax troubles have gotten the best of many black entertainers over the past few years. Ronald Isley and Wesley Snipes are among the people who have served, or are serving time, only naming a few. Rapper, Ja Rule is headed to prison after being $2 million in debt. Lil Wayne's debt, however, is much bigger than that of Ja Rule, as he owes a whopping $5.6 million to Uncle Sam.

Lil Wayne owes taxes on money made during the 2008-2009 period. This was the period in which he released Tha Carter III and expanded his Young Money roster.

By TV Insider
JR Staff Writer

For most of this past week, there has been discussion of Nicki Minaj joining "The X Factor." It was just yesterday when JR reported of how the show may be using Nicki Minaj's name for extra promotion. Simon Cowell, the executive producer of the series, landed a major coup when L.A. Reid joined the show.

With Nicki Minaj already tied to an upcoming film, named Charge It to the Game, it seemed as if she would also join "X Factor." But, when she was asked about joining the series, Nicki Minaj never gave a direct answer. Yesterday, several sites reported that she was close to agreeing to a lucrative deal.

Apparently, these stories have proven to be false. The latest report says Nicki Minaj will not be a part of the upcoming series, "The X Factor." Because of her hectic music career, the show would have to work around the schedule of Nicki Minaj. Even with her popularity, work has to be done on the set. While the stories do not tell why Nicki Minaj will not be a part of the show, this is most likely the reason. Simon Cowell confirmed there was no meeting between himself and Nicki Minaj. Now, a member of Nicki's team has said she will not be a part of the series.

JR Staff Writer

Over the past few weeks, Nicki Minaj has been involved in all sorts of rumors. She has been cast for a new film and she is considering taking the role. In the same week, there were rumors of Nicki Minaj also becoming a part of "The X Factor."

Simon Cowell landed a major coup when he lured L.A. Reid away from Def Jam in order to host the show. Cowell thinks it is important to have industry insiders judge the show. He used landing Reid to pursue Nicki Minaj.

Because her name is so popular, many are using Nicki Minaj for things she has nothing to do with. In order to build publicity and hype, Simon Cowell is capable of doing the same thing. But, for the most part, people were looking forward to learning more.

Nicki Minaj confirmed she has been in meetings with Simon Cowell. Her popularity is high and she could help make "The X Factor" into a powerhouse. Aside from that, if her career ever did slip, she could use her television persona to help build back up. However, Nicki Minaj has yet to accept the invite to be a part of the show.

By Mr. Hollywood

Throughout her career, Rihanna has been tied to several men in the game. Early in her career, there were rumors of Rihanna possibly stealing Jay-Z away from Beyonce. In the time since then, Rihanna started seeing Chris Brown. Their relationship publicly ended in 2009.

Last year, there were rumors of Rihanna dating baseball superstar, Matt Kemp. Initially, the two insisted they were only friends. But, last March, they were revealed as an item when the two met their respective families. Rihanna was very nervous about meeting Matt Kemp's mother.

Around the same time of her relationship with Kemp, Rihanna was rumored to be sleeping with her assistant, Melissa. The two were caught in compromising positions several times in photographs. When asked about her interests, Rihanna insisted she was into men only. But, nearly one year later, Rihanna was rumored to be involved with Nicki Minaj.

Nicki Minaj addresses Pregnancy Rumors

By Mr. Hollywood
JR Staff Writer

Ever since she blew up last year, Nicki Minaj has been the subject of multiple rumors. Initially, there were rumors of her being a lesbian, which stemmed from her lyrics. After hiring Diddy as her manager, there were rumors of her dating the Bad Boy CEO. Then, of course, her feud with Lil' Kim is always in the headlines.

Yesterday, rumors hit the internet about Nicki Minaj being pregnant, which was a surprise. Several women in the spotlight have given it up to have children. Keyshia Cole left the game in order to start her family. Alicia Keys released an album and did promotion while she was carrying her child.

But, it would be odd for Nicki Minaj to get pregnant while she is at the peak of her career. Unlike Keyshia Cole and Alicia Keys, Nicki is marketing herself as a sex symbol. Men from all over the world would love to have some "alone time" with Nicki Minaj. There is no way her marketing team would allow her to get pregnant with so much riding on her, at the moment.

Not even a full day after the rumors began and Nicki Minaj is backtracking. The rumors said she was pregnant by hip hop hypeman, SB, Safaree. Long before her Young Money days, Nicki Minaj was very close friends with SB. The report even went as far as to call Nicki dumb for getting pregnant at such an odd time. Before the rumors could get into full blast, Nicki Minaj denied she was pregnant. Furthermore, she confirmed she is not seeing anyone and is not even active.

She praised Nicki for her curves and she loves the fact that Nicki Minaj has maintained her individuality, despite being in a game of copycats.
