Nicki Minaj Expands Upon Retirement Announcement
Are Smollett And His Sister Shopping A Movie About Being Falsely Accused?
On Thursday afternoon (Sept. 5), Nicki Minaj re- vealed her plans to retire in order to start a family with her partner Kenneth Petty. "To my fans, keep repping me,doittildadeathofme,in the box — cuz ain't nobody checkin me. Love you for LIFE," she tweeted. After she addressed her fans, they had a bevy of mixed reactions to the "Majesty" rapper's deci- sion, leading Minaj to ex- pand upon the situation on Twitter again.
"I'm still right here," she began. "Still madly in love with you guys & you know that. In hindsight, this should've been a Queen Radio discussion & it will be. I promise u guys will be happy. No guests, just us talking about everything. The
NICKI MINAJ
tweet was abrupt & insensi- tive, I apologize babe."
In August 2018, Minaj re- turned to the music-sphere with her fourth studio album Queen. The soundscape boasts singles like "Chun-Li," "Barbie Dreams," "Good Form," and "Bed." Queen en- tered the Billboard 200 chart
at No. 2 and received mixed reviews. Since that time, Minaj continued to solidify her presence in the music in- dustry by being featured on remixes and singles like Pop Smoke's "Welcome To The Party," Megan Thee Stal- lion's "Hot Girl Summer," and Da Baby's "Suge."
JUSSIE AND JURNEE SMOLLETT
Hollywood siblings Jussie Smollett and Jurnee Smol- lett-Bell are allegedly shop- ping around a movie about a wrongfully accused brother and sister.
According to Love B Scott, a source exclusively told the site the pair is developing the film and is seeking directors to work on the project.
Based on the unidentified source’s tip, the new movie may be loosely based on Smollett’s hate crime and the allegations that his incident was made up.
The former Empire star dominated headlines early this year after he allegedly endured a hate crime in Chicago’s Streeterville neighborhood in January.
The California native says he was attacked by two people who were “yelling out racial homophobic slurs” and “poured an unknown chemical substance on the victim,” ac- cording to police. One of the suspects allegedly put a rope around his neck during the at- tack.
After conflicting reports, authorities began to suspect Smollett staged the entire at- tack due to his disappointment in his Empire salary. He was indicted in March on 16 felony counts of disorderly conduct for making a false report.
In a stunning twist of events, all charges against the singer were suddenly dropped weeks after the alleged inci- dent.
