Nicki Minaj Talks Summer Jam With The Breakfast Club

June 5, 2012 by Binky | Filed Under: Beef, Interviews, Radio | 0 Comments

First off, as a morning radio host myself, let me just to tell you how damn much I love “The Breakfast Club!” That’s the type of radio I dream about doing one day, so I have tons of respect for Angela Yee, Charlamagne, and DJ Envy.

So anyway, after this weekend’s Summer Jam fiasco and Nicki Minaj‘s subsequent interview with Funkmaster Flex, Nicki called into Power 105.1′s morning show to further discuss the issue. (And we all know it’s no coincidence that their show is in direct competition with Peter Rosenberg over on Hot 97.)

During the interview Miss Minaj once again stood by her decision to pull out of the show, thanked all of her fellow artists for their support, and guaranteed her fans that a free concert is still in the works. (Of course there was Lil’ Kim shade too, but is anyone surprised by that?)

The only thing that did surprise me about the interview was when Nicki said she had no intentions of performing “Starships” during her set anyway.  It definitely made Rosenberg look a little worse, BUT how many of us actually believe that? I love ya Nick, but not performing your biggest single at the moment just seems silly as hell.

Check out the interview after the jump and post your thoughts. Are you Team Minaj or Team Rosenberg?

Nicki Minaj Breaks Down Summer Jam Issue With Funkmaster Flex

June 4, 2012 by Binky | Filed Under: Beef, Interviews, Radio | 0 Comments

After threatening to “end her career” last night, I was actually kind of shocked that Nicki would even give Funkmaster Flex the time of day, but the First Lady of Young Money called into Hot 97 earlier tonight to address the elephant in the room known as Summer Jam…and let me tell you, she WENT IN!

It’s no secret that I’ve been a Nicki Minaj fan from the jump, but like Peter Rosenberg, I’m not a huge fan of the pop direction she’s been going in lately. But with that said, after listening to this interview none of that even matters to me. Nicki held her own through Flex’s gassed up rants, made clear and valid points, genuinely apologized to her fans, and I respect the hell out of her for all of that.

The three-part interview is a bit lengthy, but it’s worth the listen. It’s definitely clear that Nicki DOES NOT PLAY.

Lil’ Kim Drops By The Breakfast Club; Talks Biggie, Nicki & Azealia Banks

May 18, 2012 by Binky | Filed Under: Beef, Interviews, Radio | 0 Comments

In case you missed it, Lil’ Kim dropped by Power 105.1 in New York Thursday (May 17) morning and chopped it up with the Breakfast Club. Never ones to hold back, Charlamagne, Angela Yee, and DJ Envy came at Kim with the questions everyone’s been dying to know the answers to. Everything from her past relationships, to plastic surgery, and of course the numerous “beefs” with other female emcees; nothing was off limits.

They definitely grilled the sh*t outta Kimmy, but she held her own and gave a damn good interview. I grew up on Kim so I’ll always have love and respect for her, and this interview really just renewed that for me.

Whether you love her or hate her, I’d say it’s absolutely worth your time to check it out.

Jay-Z Voices Support For Gay Marriage

May 15, 2012 by Binky | Filed Under: Interviews | 0 Comments

Shout out to Jigga for this one!

It’s no secret that homophobia tends to run rampant in the hip hop community, so it’s refreshing to see an emcee (especially one as HUGE as Jay-Z) publicly support the gay community.

CNN caught up with Hov shortly after the President made his initial announcement endorsing gay marriage, and asked Mr. Carter his thoughts on the issue.

I’ve always thought it as something that’s still holding the country back. What people do in their own homes, is you know, their business. You choose to love whoever you love. That’s their business. It’s no different than discriminating against blacks. It’s discrimination, plain and simple.

When asked if he thought it would cost President Obama votes, Jay gave one of the best responses you could imagine.

I think it’s the right thing to do. So whether it costs him votes or not…Again, it’s really not about votes. It’s about people. So whether it costs him votes or not, I think it’s the right thing to do as a human being.

I don’t know how many. God knows, I don’t know yet. But I definitely want to have more [...] I don’t know about soon.

On her proudest moment:

Let’s see… My proudest moment in music so far has to be [when] I was interviewed by a 10 year old. She did her school project on me and that was one of the proudest moments actually of my life because I said, “If I’m making a difference for 10 year olds I’m doing something right. I’m very proud of that.

On growing up in a musical family:

Yes my mother and father were both songwriters. Growing up in a musical family was like going to school before school. Everything I saw was a lesson in itself. I was able to be a fly on the wall. My mom had a lot of friends that were working actresses and musicians and I was just always around, like, taking lessons.

In Case You Missed It: Lil’ Kim Shades Nicki On “WWHL”

February 16, 2012 by Binky | Filed Under: Beef, Interviews, Television | 0 Comments

“If you have to make a song called Stupid Hoe, you must be a stupid hoe.”

Welp, that about sums it up.

If you missed it last night, Lil’ Kim appeared with the hilarious Andy Cohen on Bravo’s Watch What Happens Live. As expected, the broadcast was filled with Nicki Minaj shade, including Kim dubbing her “Fire Marshall Bill.” (I really am a fan of both ladies, but that had me cracking up!)

Besides the Nicki beef, Kim also talked about her relationship with Diana Ross, meeting Whitney Houston, and even dating white guys. Hit the jump to check out a few clips.

Rocsi Talks Webbie’s Ban From BET

November 29, 2011 by Binky | Filed Under: Interviews | 0 Comments

106 & Park co-host Rocsi Diaz has finally broken her silence about the infamous Webbie incident. She recently sat down with Peter Bailey of NBC’s Nitecap and talked about being disrespected by her fellow Louisiana native, saying:

In any light that a woman feels that she was disrespected, and I have thick skin you know what I’m saying? But when you’re at your job and somebody sexually harasses you in a manner that is very vulgar and disgusting, you know, I have no shame for sticking up for myself and telling you that you’re improper right now. I’m at work, we’re on a set, there’s children around us, you know, you’re really out of line right now. [...] He disrespected me and  Terrence stood up for me, I stood up for myself, and the network would not allow anybody to come and disrespect their hosts in that manner.

I’m still curious to as what exactly was said to Miss Diaz. My best guess would be that it has something to do with Webbie once again bragging about how big his d*ck is, but I have a feeling that’s never going to be confirmed.

Besides the Webbie f*ckery, Rocsi also talked about her love life, transitioning into acting, and even opens up a bit about her past struggle with anorexia. Check out the full interview below.
