Nicki Minaj Pays for College for Fans Via Social Media

Instagram: @nickiminaj 
It all started around Saturday at midnight when Nicki was promoting her contest to bring a fan to the Billboard Music Awards, when one fan boldly asked for Minaj to just pay her tuition instead.
From that, Nicki was playing Oprah with you get tuition paid! You get your textbooks paid for!

The catch? Show the Young Money songstress your report card of straight A's and show that your school can back it up...and she'll pay for it!
She even offered to pay for an Audio Visual student's camera in Colombia!





Nicki throwing out money for the college education of her fans comes days after Queen Beyonce announced her "Formation Scholars" award to celebrate the year anniversary of her critically acclaimed film and album Lemonade. According to her website, "Four scholarships will be awarded, one per college, to female incoming, current or graduate students pursuing studies in creative arts, music, literature or African-American studies. The schools selected for participation are Berklee College of Music, Howard University, Parsons School of Design and Spelman College. All details and application deadlines are available directly from the colleges."

Kudos to these two strong women for giving back and lifting up their community.

DrakeWatch: Drake & Nicki Post a Picture Together and Meek Mill is Salty

Instagram @nickiminaj
For years Drake and Nicki Minaj have been teasing us about getting together and not getting together. Drizzy told the world he'd marry her, Nicki gave him a lapdance, but then Nicki was tied down to her longtime boo Safaree and Drake dated everyone else and put us on a roller coaster ride of emotions with Rihanna.
Then Nicki got with Philly rapper Meek Mill who started a losing beef with Drake after the Degrassi alum murdered him on his diss track Back to Back. Then we were presented with Abrih then DraLo while Nicki decided to dump Meek...and now on the 'gram the pair are taking a selfie.
Look, i'm just as confused as you all are, but one thing is for sure...MEEK IS NOT HAPPY.

On his odd instagram account he reposted the photo of the pair with the caption:

meekmill.4πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”πŸ€”I Guess Corny Niggas Back In Style πŸ˜‚πŸ˜‚ and take my slides off I bought u

He even tagged Nicki in the photo and Drake was tagged as nut_a$$_n!@@a$

Very mature.

Then he really hit his point home when he posted this photo with Lil' Kim who Nicki famously has issues with since 2010.

I'm not sure if this instagram of Meek's is legit or not since he deactivated @meekmill due to other salty post-breakup photos. Meek, move on and be the bigger man and keep quiet.

Guess Who I ran Into Lastnight?

No it wasn't an old friend from elementary school nor an ex-boyfriend.

                           I met Drake!

Now, I have no photographic proof of the encounter because his security guard wouldn't allow it and the Young Money star confessed that he had imbibed a little too much for the photo.

Nonetheless it was really exciting.

The story goes as follows:

Drake was in town performing with numerous artists for this year's Summer Jam. After the concert he was to appear at a local club.

I didn't go to the concert considering ticket were overpriced, so a friend and I rounded up our funds to catch Drake at the club appearance.

Well, $50 later we arrived only to find that we were indeed duped! The former-Degrassi star didn't show up until 12:45am and with burly security guards in tow, walked through the dance floor into V.I.P., without as much as a wave to the fans who paid anywhere from $40-$60 to catch a glimpse of him.

"Ah well" I thought, "He's going to come back out and do a few shout outs, maybe rap a verse or two."

Wrong!

Roughly a half-hour later, I see a guy cut through the dancefloor again as it parted like Moses did the Red Sea and who was it? DRAKE! Again!

Seems like he was a little faster than his security team and he was heading out the DOOR! Already! I was miffed that I spent my money to only see him WALK by, so I grabbed his arm so at least say I touched him.

He's really not that tall, and a little soft. Not really buff.


The best picture of Drizzy I could get that night.
I didn't know I'd be meeting him 2 hours later!

So, my friend and I leave to a nearby diner to drown our sorrows in some latenight snacks. As we approach the restaurant we see two black Escalades pulled up front, one surrounded by "I don't play" guards in letterman jackets.

Wouldn't that be funny if that was Drake- I said to my friend.

Well, what do you know! IT WAS!!!!

After being shooed off by the wanna-be security guard Drake called out to us and asked if we liked the show.

We didn't go to the show, we were down the street at the club you made only a brief appearance at!- says I

Like the gentleman that he is, he apologized....then I proceeded to be a typical crazy fan.

Drake! I've been a fan of your's since Degrassi! I remember when your character, Jimmy, dated Ashley and Hazel! My mom's from Canada!!!!!

He looked at me sideways until I told him my mom's from his land of Maple Syrup and we started chatting it up a bit. I asked him where he was headed to next, and how he liked San Francisco.

It's hyphy- he says.

I then asked him if I could get a picture, but he said he was too tipsy.

You don't have to get out of the car! -I smartly reply

But his security guard looked like he was going to cut me if I persisted.

I then mention Degrassi again.....telling him how I was saddened his character ended up in a wheelchair.

After I fully embarassed myself, I told him to tell Lil' Wayne we miss him and to have a good night.

Even though the artist could have snubbed me and not paid any attention to my talk of his former child-star days, he was really sweet about it!

While dining my friend and I saw a woman being escorted by the same security who gave me the side-eye, to the women's restroom. It seemed like she had to many....and guess who it was?

Taraji P. Henson!!!!!

Henson was looking like she definitely had a hard night.

It's okay sweetie....we've all been there!

A few minutes later she comes out of the bathroom and hobbles into the Escalade with Drizzy and they take off.

Interesting.

Could this be a possible love affair in the works?

Who knows?
So, Drizzy...you've redeemed yourself in my book.

I just wish you would have reimbursed me the $50!
