Nicki Minaj and husband Kenneth Petty could be headed to divorce court over irreconcilable differences.

It looks like Nicki Minaj has taken her final lap around the finish line with all the bad press surrounding her husband Kenneth ‘Zoo’ Petty. ‘Ken’ who has a rap sheet with the court system, made major headlines at the beginning of the year for failure to register as a sex offender in his home state of California, where he resides with Nicki Minaj.

Allegedly blog Rhymeswithsnitch has inside intel and posted rumors that the couple has called it quits after just two years of marriage bliss. Over the Easter Holiday weekend multiple gossipers on social media claimed that one of Kenny’s friends spilled the beans about the split on Instagram live.

It’s been a bumpy ride for the two lovebugs who have been attacked several times by talk show Queen Wendy Williams during her talk show, and a gang of internet trolls weighing in on their relationship. Whatever they decide to do we wish them happiness and positive vibes.

City of Atlanta, Mayor Keisha Lance Bottoms, Zaytoven

by Tamiko Hope

On January 12, 2020, Grammy-winning and multi-platinum producer Zaytoven was presented with a Proclamation from the City of Atlanta and the Mayor’s office for his musical and philanthropic contributions. The music icon, who has worked with Kanye West, Drake, Gucci Mane, the Migos and Nicki Minaj, launched the Zay Area Foundation in 2018 (www.zayarea.org) in an effort to support disadvantaged youth in the community who have an interest in the creative arts, particularly music. Since its inception, the foundation has held a Family Fun Day event in Lithonia over the Labor Day holiday, in addition to partnering with middle schools in the Atlanta area where they donate music equipment.

Earlier this year, Zaytoven and the foundation aligned with Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta where the Grammy-winning producer plays the keys for patients of the hospital, in addition to providing arts and crafts materials for the kids to do activities with him. After making a large donation to the hospital, he received a room that bears his name at the hospital in his honor.

Zaytoven is no stranger to giving back. He has been active not only the Atlanta community, but also in his former home of San Francisco where he donates his piano and organ skills to his former church once a year. He still plays the keys in church every Sunday on the east side of Atlanta, something he’s done for well over a decade.

Everyone remembers the night Rihanna herself stood up and gave a standing ovation to the new house hold name we all know as ‘Lizzo’ at this year’s past BET Awards ceremony. The ‘Truth Hurt’s singer gave a show stopping performance complete with a flute solo mid show, while she was twerking!! If there is any doubt that this Queen is here to stay it was dropped this week when Bad Gal Riri, aka Rihanna, stated she wants to work with Lizzo immediately!

The singer hit the red carpet before her ‘Savage X Fenty’ fashion show at the Barclays Center in Brooklyn on Tuesday, and talked about her love for the singer.

“Gosh I love Lizzo. She’s so bada**,” Rihanna told Entertainment Tonight. “I would collaborate with her on the lights for this interview right now, like Lizzo is so badass.”

She also said Lizzo reflects the ideas behind her all-inclusive Savage lingerie.

“She is everything that Savage stands for,” Rihanna continued. “A confident woman, no matter what size, color, shape. Your attitude is what makes you savage. It’s the confidence that you have in yourself and it’s the confidence that you can give off to people who look like you and feel like you and those are the people that identify with the brand.”

She adds that she’s looking to change the lingerie game.

The Rihanna Navy are so ready for this collab, as well as Lizzo who posted on her Instagram page she is going to set up a studio in her ‘coochie’. We must all stay tuned and prepare our edges for this apparent slayage that hopefully will come sometime this fall!!!

BET’s ‘The Next Big Thing’ has announced the winner of their artist search. The hip hop docuseries competition, launched with the goal of finding a winning artist, who was diligent and dope enough to secure the bag and a record deal. ‘The up-and-coming artists were subjected to a development boot camp, where they were given access to top vocal coaches, trainers, choreographers, writers, producers, and glam squads to advance their careers. The final step is delivering what one of them hopes is a star-making performance in front of major label scouts’.

The show which aired every Tuesday, hosted panel judges Zaytoven Beats, Grammy winning music producer, Dame Dash, Mogul and part founder of Roc A Fella Records, with famed music executive Tina Davis. Several artists auditioned for the spotlight, but only a handful of contestants made it on the show. Pretty Yellow managed to hold her own every week, and beat out the other contestants on the series. With a sexy girl next door mixed with Hip Hop flavor image, and a hungry appetite to win, the ‘No Hoe’ artist has kept her hustle strong after she made moves on the scene with rapper ‘Curren$y’ in the studio last spring. It’s been nothing but networking, recording and hard work since then and we are all happy for her. Her fans are looking forward to the next chapter in her career!! Her latest EP ‘Up Shit’ is out now on all platforms and has plenty of bops to hold you over for her next album hopefully coming soon. Follow her on Instagram @prettyyellow
