Nicki Minaj Brings Out Her Barbz To #CRWN Event

Nicki Minaj Gets Cray With Her Barbz At #CRWN Event

Behind Nicki Minaj is a loyal legion of fans reciting her lyrics with a passion most tribes have for their leader. Last night, a few of those lucky fans got the chance to see Nicki in-person at Elliot Wilson’s #CRWN event in NYC and chile, they sure did show out.

Nicki arrived to the exclusive event around 9pm and was greeted by fans who rapped the lyrics to “Only” and “Monster.”

According to WatchLoud, Nicki revealed that she drove “down to Atlanta with her then “friend” Safaree with about $2,000 to her name. She was, however, booking shows down South at the time.”

She also said, Kanye pushed her to write a better verse for “Monster.” “Kanye told her she could do better and pushed her to improve, so she wrote a second verse – the one we all know today.”

Kimora Lee Simmons is pregnant…like pregnant, pregnant and we’re just now finding out. The former supermodel-turned-mogul was photoed on a yacht in St. Barts on Monday and she looks like she is at least six months. By now, you must be thinking, “Who’s the baby’s father?” Her banker husband Tim Leissner. (Yeah, she’s married too.)

Kimora has three children from two previous relationships with Djimon Hounsou and Russell Simmons. According to reports, Kimora announced her pregnancy back in October…we totally missed it.

UP NEXT: Rihanna Dishes On New Album

Rihanna’s New Album Coming Out In 2015?

Sorry folks, you may have to wait a little longer for that new Rihanna album. During an interview with WWD, Ri Ri opened up about her new partnership with Puma and when we should be expecting #R8. Here’s a hint, who knows?!

“Some of the first sneakers I owned were Puma, and I wore them to death, until they had holes in them,” Ri Ri shared, opening up about new role as Creative Director. “They were sleek running shoes, I had them in pink with the black Puma stripes on the side. They also made them in Jamaican colors and so in the Caribbean it was like: What? Jamaican colors? That was the it-shoe in Barbados — if you didn’t have those, [that was it]. You know how kids are.”

While Ri Ri adores a good pump, she says her sneaker collection is right up there with her stiletto count.

“They are probably on par with my stilettos. I love a heel but recently I’m tending more to sneakers. Being in the studio, traveling, touring — you cannot do that in heels, unless you are Posh Spice [she laughs]. She is in the airport with four kids and she gets it done. She is so legit’,” she said.

As for #R8, she doesn’t have a concrete date for the release yet. “I don’t know when exactly, but you will know when I know it,” she said.

Here’s hoping.
