Nicki Minaj Shares A Kiss With Rapper Nas In "Right By My Side"

Nicki Minaj’s hour set at Hordern Pavillion in Sydney has many parents wondering what they agreed to when they gave their children the green light for the colorful Harajuku Barbie tour.

No, not the over-the-top outfits or the neon-color wigs, but the explicit lyrics has parents clutching their pearls. LOL!

While the “Super Bass” rapper had no issues with keeping the crowd entertained with energetic choreography and a crunk DJ, some parents didn’t know what to make of Minaj’s potty mouth.

We think parents should know what their children are listening to especially if they are footing the tickets – not to mention since MInaj has publicly defended her explicit lyrics.

Meanwhile, Minaj’s rider list surfaced and it’s tame.

The sometime-Roman alter ego had to have contact lens solution, two space heaters, a cool-mist humidifier, 12 cans of Red Bull (six at room temperature, six iced) and 24 bottles of Snapple. Belgian waffles are a must with syrup, powdered sugar, whipped cream, butter and strawberries. Minaj also requested three 12-piece buckets of fried chicken with lots of wings and no thighs.

More of her list included items for a sensible salad and a deli tray with turkey breast, grilled chicken breast, whole-wheat bread or rolls, yellow mustard, and other condiments. Nothing outlandish, right?

Do you think children should see Minaj in concert? In other Barbie news, the singer-rapper exchanged some tongue with Queensbridge rapper Nas and Chris Brown for her latest video “Right By My Side” off her “Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded” CD.

Democracy needs journalism it can trust.

This election season, the stakes are higher than usual — and so is the pressure on newsrooms to soften their coverage, stay quiet, or just disappear. Independent reporting, the kind that answers to readers instead of advertisers or political pressure, matters more in a moment like this, not less.

For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed independent and reader-funded. We have no corporate owner and no shareholders telling us what to cover or how to cover it. That independence is also our biggest vulnerability: nothing protects it except readers choosing to fund it directly.

Newspaper ad revenue has fallen more than 80% since 2005, and local newsrooms are closing at a rate of roughly two a week nationwide. When outlets go under in a moment like this, it's rarely the independent, reader-funded ones that get to stick around.

We know a request for support isn't why you came here. But without readers choosing to fund this work directly, the depth of reporting we can do at home and abroad shrinks along with everyone else's. If you're not in a position to give, that doesn't change how much we value you as a reader.

If you are able to, a recurring contribution does more for us than a single one-time gift, because it lets us plan the next investigation instead of just the next invoice. It takes about 30 seconds, no long form, no account. Thank you for continuing to support independent journalism and freedom of the press.
