Showing West Coast Love: Drake Brings out Nicki Minaj and Snoop Dogg at L.A. Show

Drake and Nicki Minaj were back together on stage for the first time since rumors were flying around that the two label mates had fallen out. Drake brought Nicki out during his “Would You Like A Tour?” stop in Los Angeles. Drake also showed some West Coast love by bringing Snoop Dogg out on stage as well. According to rap-up.com:

“In addition to bringing Nicki Minaj and Snoop Dogg onstage, there were plenty of star sightings backstage at Drake’s “Would You Like a Tour?” concert at L.A.’s Staples Center on Monday night.

Nicki squashed rumors of a fallout with her YMCMB label mate and performed ‘Make Me Proud,’ plus snapped Instagram pics with Birdman, the Kardashian clan, and Tyga.”

Drake’s “Would You Like A Tour?” also features Atlanta rapper Future, whose fiancée Ciara was among the list of stars backstage.

Independent journalism doesn't fund itself.

We hope this story was worth your time. For over 14 years, Atlanta Black Star has stayed Black-owned and independently run. We didn't get here by waiting on ad budgets that were never built to prioritize us. Our readers did that.

Corporate support for Black media has always been thin. Outlets like ours get roughly 1% of the $170 billion spent on U.S. advertising each year, and that margin is shrinking further as advertisers walk back the DEI-linked commitments they made in 2020. That's the backdrop. It's not why we're asking.

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.
