Nicki Minaj Talks About Having A Fan Faint In Her Arms & Jay-Z Being Her Favorite Rapper

See the original post:

Britain’s # 5 Magazine dubbed Nicki Minaj “The Queen Of New York” in their Sport Personality Style issue. Nicki says, when asked if her little brother wants to be a rapper “No, I would never let anyone I know be a rapper, darling.” Nicki admits that a female fan fainted in her arms after waiting in line to see the “Head Barb” for hours. She continues to explain how in-tune she is with her fans through Twitter and how she refused to leave through a back exit one day. “People have been standing there for hours, me going out the back door is mean” Here’s an excerpt from the interview: How can a man get to your heart? If he can make me laugh…..he has to be smart. I love sarcasm in people; I love when you’re able to pick up on sarcasm and when you’re able to dish it out. I love quick comebacks. Your label mate Drake sounds like he fits the bill for that. But that’s why Drake and I are friends because he does fit that to a certain extent. He’s really easy to talk to. As a girl, you don’t meet a lot of guys you can have a conversation with about anything. It’s dope. Who is one of your favorite rappers of all-time? Jay-Z. It was like whatever Jay-Z says is the gossip because he was smart. I was raised attracted to intelligent rappers. Like if you can make me think…that’s why I’m so into metaphors. I love double meanings of things. Just having people look at things in a different way because all my favorite rappers [Lil’ Wayne] that’s what they do, that’s what intrigued me.

Thrashers Leaving Atlanta For Canada

Read more from the original source:

It’s official. As expected, the Atlanta Thrashers are packing their bags and moving to Winnipeg, Canada. True North Sports and Entertainment, the Canadian group that has been negotiating to buy the NHL hockey team since mid-May, made the announcement at a news conference today in Winnipeg, reports the AJC.com . The Thrashers began play as an expansion team in 1999 in then-new Philips Arena. The team also had the most diverse lineup in the NHL, but the team also lost millions of dollars every year and struggled to fill seats in Phillips despite having a noticeable contingent of passionate fans. NHL commissioner Gary Bettman told reporters that he regretted seeing Atlanta lose its second NHL franchise. The Flames left Atlanta for Calgary in 1980. The agreement must now be approved by the NHL Board of Governors, which is scheduled to meet on June 21. A 75-percent vote is required to ratify a change of ownership and a 50-percent vote is required to approve a franchise relocation. Atlanta Spirit — which owns the Thrashers and Hawks — has been trying to sell the Thrashers for years. The company claims that they tried to keep the team in Atlanta but failed to find a buyer willing to keep the team in Atlanta. Read the full story at the AJC.com .
