It seems amidst all the commotion in Nicki Minaj’s life, her memory is getting short term.
Last week on her Queen radio show, she brought up the trending topic of Geoffrey Owens working at Trader Joe’s. Owens, who used to be an actor on the ‘Cosby Show’, was working as a cashier (see above) at Trader Joe’s. He says it was devastating at first because it appeared that the photo was taken with malice, in attempt to job shame him. And though he mentioned he’s been acting small roles, teaching, and directing it hasn’t been enough to make ends meet. But despite the intent of the photographer, the support from fans and actors alike has been overwhelming.
Nicki Minaj was among the supporters of Owens for hustling on the side, and in between gigs. On her show, she devoted to helping Owens out with $25,000. However, the actor has yet to see the money. Minaj has said she’s been having trouble reaching out to his team, which is why there’s been no exchange. But Owens’ team hasn’t gotten anything from Minaj, they haven’t even heard from her. That actor said he’s not looking for a handout, and if she decided to make good on her promise, he’ll probably donate it.
But even without Minaj’s money, Owens will be doing better for himself sooner than later. He accepted Tyler Perry’s offer to join the cast of “The Haves and the Have Nots” (see above). The show will start filming next week, and he’s on for 10 episodes. Owens also landed a part “NCIS: New Orleans,” so he’ll be back on our silver screens in no time.
