Young Money's femme fatale Nicki Minajpromised that when she reached a million followers on Twitter, she would hop on Ustream and announce her album title. After hitting a milli last week, Nicki honored her promise and hosted a web chat session last night (August 3), during which 13,000 users stopped in to watch. After calling fans that supplied their number via Twitter, she revealed her debut's title, 'Pink Friday,' which was named for its release on November 23 - the same week as Black Friday.

Rick Ross is continuing to beef up his Maybach Music Group, having just added Meek Mill to the roster earlier today (February 8).


“I’m feelin’ good—feelin’ great, man,” Meek told XXLMag.com shortly after letting the ink dry on the papers. “That’s why Twitter’s a good thing. You let people know what’s going on live and direct.”

Russell Simmons ran into a little trouble with Bill Cosby, during the Jackie Robinson Foundation gala last week, resulting in a not-so-nice exchange riddled with expletives.


Simmons, who presented Sean "Diddy" Combs with the night's Man of the Year Award, approached the legendary comedian, and host of the event, to apologize for unflattering comments he made during his State of Emergency: Hip-Hop campaign last November, as well as to say "I love you."

Waka Flocka Flame made the dreams of a terminally ill teen girl come true last week, when he surprised 16-year-old Kiyana Lyles -- a Make-A-Wish Foundation recipient -- in her hotel room in Atlanta.


Though Lyles suffered a recent kidney failure, she responded to the surprise of seeing Waka like any other rapper-obsessed 16-year-old girl. After she answered the door, Lyles screamed in his face due to sheer excitement.

It looks like Lil Wayne is in trouble with the government yet again. Though the Young Money boss recently paid off a $1.13 million tax lien in Dade County, Fla., in November 2010, he has reportedly been hit with another IRS bill, this time for a whopping $5,610,034.00.


The IRS has been hounding Wayne for unpaid income taxes for years, filing a lien against the rapper back in 2008, going after his One Family Foundation charity in June 2010, for the years 2004, 2005 and 2007. Now the government is seeking over $5.6 million for income earned during the years 2008 and 2009.

It might not be a milli, but Lil Wayne’s long delayed, highly anticipated album, Tha Carter IV, officially sold 964,000 copies in its first week, according to the Nielsen SoundScan report.

T.I. spoke to the Juice about Meek Mill, who, before he joined MMG, was briefly signed to T.I.'s label, Grand Hustle Records.

There were a lot of huge records that
dropped this past week (two, at least, which Meek Mill & Drake were a part of), anyways, while I'm sure most people checked out those, here's some that might have been neglected.
