The Nicki Minaj Sextape! (video inside)
We have just received word that there is a hot and steamy sex tape purporting to be of rapper Nicki Minaj. According to our source the tape is of a younger Ninaj with two other women which was allegedly taped when she was in her early twenties.
We are told the person who has the tape in their possession is looking to get seven figures for it and has already received offers to debut the tape on a popular porn site. Scandalous! Let’s just say if the tape is as hot as rapper Eve’s was with former boyfriend Stevie J. then Nicki Minaj is definitely on her way to bigger things. Remember Eve went on to do several movies and also had a popular television show.

Priscilla Renea – Come to Her Doll House
A high placed industry executive contacted us one day and stated that they wanted me to listen to this 21-year-old recording artist who they believed was the next biggest superstar. I was a bit reluctant at first because I hear this all the time from new artists and their management so I just told them “send me their EPK” and I will listen to it when I had the time. We don’t usually get excited about an artist the way she was carrying on about this young lady so I had to really sit down and see what all the hype was about. Sure enough their depiction of this incredibly talented young lady was a understatement. Her sound was fresh and really fun to listen to and definitely the type of music I could see my teenage daughters playing in their stereos.
Realizing that she had to keep her momentum flowing she sang the first five pages of the dictionary and uploaded it to YouTube. She then wrote an anonymous letter to the editor of YouTube and said “Hey there’s this girl and she is really cool and her name is Prescilla Renee and she is singing the dictionary and you should check her out and add it to the front page of YouTube.” Well the next day when she woke up she boasts that she had over a million messages in her mailbox from people telling her she was featured on YouTube. From that little stunt her myspace and YouTube pages skyrocketed with high numbers for over a month until one day she received an email from Rico Collins inquiring whether she had management or not and at some point he flew her to Atlanta to meet with Kenny Cole who she began writing songs with and someone she became very close to like a brother.

Jay Z, Beyonce, Alicia Keys Among Top Nominees At BET Awards
Leading the way with BET nominations this year is, unsurprisingly, Jay Z. The rap star exceeds all other artists with five nominations: Best Male Hip Hop artist, Best Collaboration (with Alicia Keys for “New York State of Mind“), Best Video (both for “Empire State of Mind” and “Run this Town”), and Viewer’s Choice for “Empire State of Mind.” On the other hand, many fans of the songstress Monica has been airing their disappointment that she was not nominated for the top spot. There are many who believe the singer and BET reality star should have been an easy shoe in to compete with the likes of the other nominees rather than be nominated for the Viewer’s Choice Award.
One person who we always felt was deserving of an award for her constant grind and relentless determination is Atlanta’s own Rasheeda as she is in the Best Female Hip Hop category.
Artists with four nominations include Beyonce, Alicia Keys, Trey Songz and Melanie Fiona.
The BET Awards, now in its tenth year, will feature performances from Trey Songz, Nicki Minaj, Drake and Diddy-Dirty Money.
