Drake, Nicki Minaj Talk Jay-Z And Lil Wayne At Madison Square Garden

‘It was the stuff that dreams are made of,’ Minaj says of appearing on the stage with Jay-Z and her Young Money boss. By Jayson Rodriguez, with reporting by MTV News staff Drake Photo: Kevin Winter/ Getty Images Lil Wayne and his Young Money cohorts Drake and Nicki Minaj stormed the stage at Madison Square Garden two weeks ago for a guest turn during Jay-Z’s Blueprint 3 Tour . The Roc Nation head called the spot “fantastic.” Turns out, Drake and Nicki Minaj thought so too. Young Jeezy, who welcomed the trio to his set, first introduced Nicki Minaj to thunderous applause. The Queens native said that prior to the concert, she and everyone else in Wayne’s camp were spending time with the rapper after he learned he had an extra day of freedom. Lil Wayne was scheduled to turn himself in to begin his prison stint that afternoon. A fire at the courthouse , however, prevented Wayne’s sentencing. With some time to kill, the crew got a phone call to put the plans in motion. “We were just talking to Wayne and he was being his crazy self,” Nicki told MTV News. “I got a call from Gee [Wayne’s co-manager and former executive at Roc-A-Fella] and the first name I heard was Jay-Z and I thought, ‘There’s no way Jay-Z approved me to be on this show.’ And I was like, ‘Do I want to?’ I’m on the next thing, smoking. I canceled meeting that day and the next day. “Madison Square Garden? I’m from New York,” she continued. “This means the world to me — to be there with Jay-Z, Lil Wayne, Young Jeezy and Drake. It was the stuff that dreams are made of for a girl. Girls aren’t usually in those unique little circles.” Drake heaped praise on his boss, Lil Wayne, for sharing his extra day (that turned into an extra week) with his fans. “It was a moment where people thought Wayne had gone in and the surprise was he had an extra day, and a selfless individual came out and showed up for the people of New York,” Drake told MTV News. “The city he got convicted in, of all places. It was a great night.” The “Best I Ever Had” MC even joked about violating Jay-Z’s all-black dress code that was set for the festivities. “That’s just who I am,” Drake said, laughing about his all-white getup. “Young Angel.” Related Videos Nicki Minaj And Drake Speak On Their Surprise Blueprint 3 Show Related Artists Drake Nicki Minaj

Marie Osmond Dedicates Return Vegas Show to Late Son

Following the tragic death of her son , Marie Osmond returned to the Las Vegas stage, alongside brother Donny, last night. The siblings performed for a sold-out crowd, as Marie dedicated the concert to her late child, saying: “The way Osmonds survive is we keep singing. That’s what we want to do tonight. I know my son would want that and this show is for him.” The crowd stood and cheered Marie throughout the 90-minute event, growing especially supportive when Donny said: “I think we need to give a big round of applause for my sister for even coming on stage.” This performance came just days after Rosebanne Barr actually called Marie out for playing a role in Michael’s suicide. The washed-up comedian said Osmond should have chosen her son over her supposedly gay-bashing religion. Despite this controversy and despite their grief, the Osmonds had fun on stage. Marie joked about about her brother’s dancing skills, to which Donny replied that he won Dancing With the Stars . But he didn’t do that in heels, Marie pointed out, as she exceled at on the ABC show. As one could only expect, it was an emotional night. Marie wiped away tears when finishing the evening’s final number, “It Takes Two.”

Jay-Z Visits President Obama At White House

‘I just came from the White House,’ Jay tells crowd at his show in D.C. Wednesday. By Jayson Rodriguez Jay-Z (file) Photo: Chris Gordon/ WireImage Jay-Z took advantage of his time in the Beltway on Wednesday to visit 1600 Pennsylvania Avenue. “I just came from the White House,” he told the audience at the Verizon Center on the Washington D.C. leg of his Blueprint 3 tour. According to The Washington Post , Hov made the remark during the last minutes of his concert. Officials confirmed to the Post on Thursday (March 4) that President Barack Obama had indeed met with the Brooklyn MC and the pair chatted briefly. In an interview overseas last month, Jay-Z revealed that when he once called President Obama, he heard BP3 playing in the background . He also told British talk-show host Jonathan Ross he had been invited to the White House by the Obama administration “a couple of times,” but at the time, the witty lyricist hadn’t had a chance to take the president up on the offer. “Hopefully we’ll keep him in for eight years, so I’ll have time to get there” Jay joked. The Roc Nation boss was an avid supporter of Obama during the presidential campaign. He also referred to him in a series of lyrics, most notably for Young Jeezy’s hit “My President,” to which Jay-Z contributed a verse on the remix that premiered during a party that coincided with the president’s inauguration. “Rosa Parks sat so Martin Luther could walk/ Martin Luther walked so Barack Obama could run/ Barack Obama ran so all the children could fly,” he raps on the track. “So I’mma spread my wings/ You could meet me in the sky.” “It’s just the progression. … You sat, you walked, you ran, you ran to fly,” he said about his Obama rhyme last year on the eve of the inauguration. “You know, just the progression and how far we’ve come as a nation. It feels good to say that, ’cause I never had that type of feeling to say ‘as a nation,’ like I was part of the American dream. And I believe a lot of people didn’t feel like a part of the American process for so long.” At Wednesday’s show, a fan jumped onstage and was escorted off by Jay’s bodyguard. Related Artists Jay-Z
