Obama: Nicki Minaj Didn't Really Endorse Romney

Via Glooce

President Barack Obama says he isn’t sure what to make of rapper Nicki Minaj’s apparent endorsement of Mitt Romney, or whether to believe she was being serious.

“I’m not sure that’s actually what happened,” Obama told an Orlando hip-hop station this morning. “I think she had a song on there — a little rap that said that,” Obama said. “But she likes to play different characters, so I don’t know what’s going on there.”

The president was referencing the fact that Minaj is known for adopting off-beat alter-egos as part of her act.

    Diggy Simmons lands BET TV show pilot

    viaW#mce_temp_url#



    Up and coming rapper and former reality star Diggy Simmons has landed his very own TV show pilot with BET.

    The 17-year-old is set to star in the two-hour original comedy, which has been given the initial name of The Untitled Diggy Simmons Project

    BET green lighted the show and it will be directed by husband and wife Mara Brock Akil and Salim Akil, while Diggy aka Daniel Dwayne Simmons, will play the main character named Blake.
    The movie will also star Allen Maldonado as Manny who plays Blake's best friend, and Teyana Taylor as Tiana who is Manny's twin sister. Eddie Murphy’s daughter Bria also features as Manny’s girlfriend Nia.

    The Untitled Diggy Simmons Project is said to have an Entourage-type theme to it, and takes an edgy look at Diggy’s life as a blogger along with his loyal group of friends who hold him down, as he makes his way to the top.

    The backdoor pilot will be shot later this year and is being created by the same team behind Sparkle.

      Azealia Banks Apologizes to Kreayshawn, Proposes Collaboration



      Azealia Banks may be notorious for her Twitter beefs, but she extended an olive branch to one of her former foes. The “212” rapper has apologized and patched things up with Kreayshawn.

      Earlier this year, Banks lashed out at the “Gucci Gucci” rapper after she retweeted a link to her video via PornHub. “You’re a dumb bitch. And you can’t rap. I’ll sit on your face. … Fall back slut,” she told her, prompting Kreayshawn to reply, “Come on you mad because I retweeted your link? Because I like your music? Pffff get outta here! Not a fan anymore.”

      But on Sunday, Banks showed some humility and extended her apologies. “@KREAYSHAWN I apologize for coming down on you so hard earlier this year,” she tweeted. “I missunderstood that pornhub rt. I can be really defensive sometimes. I’m just naturally rude. LMFAOO it’s a NY thing… I can’t help it.”

      Kreayshawn, whose debut album Somethin ‘Bout Kreay drops September 18, quickly accepted her apology. “It’s all G! I fux with you[r] music above all!” she wrote. “You have those fire barz gurlll!”

      Banks even proposed a collaboration. “@KREAYSHAWN lets collab. Let’s throw @NativeRaeen in the mix there tooo,” she said, to which Kreay gladly responded, “I’m down!!! FIRE FUEGO!!”
