After months of hype, Major Lazer has finally released the collaboration with PartyNextDoor and Nicki Minaj titled “Run Up.” The song definitely plays on Diplo’s like for the dancehall sound and is a certified banger. According to Complex,  “Run Up” is expected to be on Major Lazer’s upcoming fourth studio album, Music Is the Weapon.”

And while visiting Zane Lowe’s Beats 1 show last summer,  Diplo let us know some of the artists’ who might be featured on the album.

“Definitely we have Usher on it. [“Lean On” collaborator] MØ’s back on songs,” he said. “We have a song with Sam Hunt which is very unusual, but I love him. Travis Scott. I don’t even know; I have to go back…Sia is on a couple ideas, but one of the records might be her record. She’s definitely background vocals on a song.”

It seemed like the queen of rap already had it all. An upcoming game, true love and the hottest hip-hop tour of the summer. But it didn’t stop there. Today ABC Family announced that Nicki Minaj will be producing a comedy hosted on their channel. She’s not only producing it, but starring in the half-hour series that will be based on of her life in Queens. The single-camera show will start production this winter. If you’re not kind of freaking out, please see yourself to the door.

VMAs Leave Audience Confused, Inspired, and Disgusted

The VMAs were not completely awful. The Weeknd put on a fire performance (literally), Nicki Minaj won Best Hip Hop Video, Fetty Wap got Best New Artist, and even ASAP Rocky hit the stage.

 

Of course we can’t talk about last night without addressing the moment Nicki Minaj called out Miley Cyrus on stage for some things Cyrus said to the New York Times last week. After accepting her award for Best Hip Hop Video, Nicki turned to Miley calling her out for the slander. The world momentarily stopped.

As if the night couldn’t get any better, Kanye accepted his Video Vanguard award, presented by Taylor Swift, and proceeded to give an inspiring speech. In the speech West covered a lot, but one main take away was West calling out MTV for their corporate shenanigans related to the award show. At the end of the speech Kanye announced his decision to run for president in 2020. The internet exploded, and the importance of this year’s election became void as we all prepare ourselves to volunteer on the West 2020 campaign. The bad news? Still no word on his next album release.

The night ended with Miley Cyrus giving her own performance. After being called out by Nicki and a few other missteps, the audience (AKA all of Twitter) was very done with its hostess. Still, she surprised everyone by dropping a free 23-track album titled Miley Cyrus and Her Dead Pets.

If you missed the hot mess that was the 2015 VMAs, don’t worry. Chance The Rapper and Rihanna were not even there.

#vmas are on tonight. Me and @badgalriri will NOT be in attendance 🚫🏆

Nicki Minaj Gets Her Own Video Game

Sometimes the universe gives us things we don’t even know we need. In this case, the universe said Nicki Minaj needs a video game — and it’s right. Glu, the creators of Kim Kardashian: Hollywood, announced that they are working to make a game based on the Queen of Rap herself. The game is currently expected to release sometime in 2016.

We can only hope that the game includes some of the superstar’s everyday tasks, like dealing with boy beef, deciding which wig to purchase and starting a fragrance line. The game should be as wonderful as Kim K’s, if not even better. Read more details about the game here.
