Nicki Minaj and DJ Khaled are together again, but not as future wife/husband, as Khaled hoped. Nicki, Khaled, Rick Ross and Future got together to shoot a video for their new song,”I Wanna Be With You.” The behind the scenes video mostly features Nicki Minaj performances for the visuals, as she renders her solo shots, then joins Khaled on an elevated stage. According to perezhilton.com:

“Her Minajesty is giving fans a behind the scenes look at the making of her fake fiancé DJ Khaled’s music vid for I Wanna Be With You! In the sneak peek, you can see Nicki on a performance throne, totes glommed to perfection, and THEN on stage in a gold-plated bra!”

The “I Wanna Be With You” video also features cameos by Cash Money CEO Birdman, DJ Clue and Ciara. However, it’s only fitting that Nicki Minaj is the feature of the video. Apart from the fact that she’s been featured on almost every relevant rap video in the past two months, Nicki also saved this song. As reported by vibe.com:

“With a sleepwalking Future handling chorus duties (as the hook suggest seemingly 100 times over, the man just “wanna be with you…”), Minaj cuts into the monotonous run with one of her most hilarious, no-frills rhymes in a minute, giving a foul mouth, unintentional nod to former rival Lil Kim [in her lyrics].”

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.
