The daughter of Malcolm X has released a statement following Nicki Minaj's use of her father's iconic image as cover art on her latest single, "Lookin Ass Niggas."
According to Fox News, the family found the rapper's use of the photo disrespectful and offensive and is "no way endorsed by out family." Daughter of the activist, Ilyasah Shabazz, released a statement about the photo.
"Ms. Minaj's artwork for her single does not depict the truth of Malcolm X's legacy," Shabazz's statement said.
Nicki apologized Thursday after petitions were drawn for her to take down the cover art.
"Well, I apologize. That was never the official artwork nor is this an official single. This is a conversation. Not a single. I am in the video shooting at Lookin Ass Niggaz and there happened to be an iconic photo of Malcolm X ready to do the same thing for what he believed in!!!! It is in no way to undermine his efforts and legacy. I apologize to the Malcolm X estate if the meaning of the photo was misconstrued..."
Nicki has also mentioned that the photo wasn't the official cover art for the single.

As Young Money prepares to release their compilation album, ‘Rise of an Empire,’ the crew dropped their new video for ‘We Alright’ featuring Lil Wayne, Birdman and Euro. One thing’s for sure — YMCMB knows how to throw a rowdy party.
In the Colin Tilley-directed clip, Young Money’s newest signee Euro takes center stage as he raps his “get money” rhymes behind a backdrop of a crazy house party. The Rhode Island rhymer is surrounded by a bevy of partygoers getting turned up and wearing T-shirts with his name on them.
Euro then takes the party to the office where he turns an ordinary workday into a full-fledged happy hour jamboree led by his boss Mr. Weezy F. Baby.
Cash Money honcho Birdman gets in on the fun as well. In his scene, a lavish dinner party turns into a food fight with bodacious models dousing each other with champagne and throwing chicken wings.
YMCMB affiliates Mack Maine, Chanel West and other artists also make cameo appearances in the party-themed video.
Young Money’s compilation LP ‘Rise of an Empire’ is set to drop on March 11. The collection features guests Drake, Nicki Minaj, Tyga, Shanell, Christina Milian and more.
In an upcoming interview with Charles Barkley, president Barack Obama says that no one can touch his hometown hero Michael Jordan, but thinks that Lebron James comes pretty close.

He also shared candidly that he could see the Heat player in the game for another 10 years.
"In terms of every aspect of the game, Lebron has a chance to be almost as good as anybody."
The full interview is scheduled to air tomorrow at 7 p.m. on TNT during the pre-game show of the NBA All-Star game.

As you can see in the video, Kim family and friends watch from the bleachers as she arrives with her beau at the AT&T Park in San Francisco. As a live orchestra plays and torches are lit, Kim is greeted with a huge surprise.
Take a look at the preview above.
Rapper Lil Wayne has been incognito for the past couple of months — and now we know why. It’s appears the Young Money leader was busy in the studio. On Friday (Feb. 14), during a Sprite NBA All-Star event in New Orleans, Drake revealed the release date for Weezy’s ‘Tha Carter V’ album.
According to Drizzy, Tunechi’s LP will arrive in May. “If you want to hear Lil Wayne at his best, if you wanna hear Young Money at they best…’Carter V,’ May 5,” he told the crowd. “Just know we about this s— for real.”
It’s unclear if Drake accidentally spilled the beans or he was just hyping the audience up. Still, the announcement contradicts what a Cash Money executive told a college newspaper recently.
In an interview with the Griffin (spotted by MTV News), Cash Money Records Vice President of Promotion Mel Smith said that a release date has not been set for Weezy’s next project.
“It’s going to be a huge surprise to everyone; it’s an incredible album,” he told the newspaper. “I can’t release the date because [Wayne] wants to surprise people; he wants his true fanbase to get excited but he’s worked extremely hard on it and you won’t be disappointed.”
So is Lil Wayne planning to drop ‘The Carter V’ without any warning or fanfare — ala Beyonce? Who knows?
In the meantime, the Young Money compilation album, ‘Rise of an Empire,’ is expected to be release on March 11. The collection will feature contributions from Drake, Nicki Minaj, Tyga and the rest of the gang.
Chief Keef's road to sobriety has given him revelations on his music and past addictions.
In an interview with Billboard, the rapper says that sipping lean altered his psyche and his last two mixtapes were the aftermath.
"My last two mixtapes were mistakes," he said. "I was on promethazine, all drugged out. I was tweaking. I don't sip the lean no more though."
The rapper is finishing up treatments at the Orange County rehab facility, and is expected to return to court on February 28 to find out when he can return home. Director of the facility Warren, believes that his progress has been impressive and he should return home soon.
"His recovery is moving in a very positive direction. I think he's ready to move forward. He's a very kind young man."
"Fuck Rehab" will be leading single on his new album Bang 3, scheduled to be released on March 3.

After speculation over Lil Wayne's new album, Drake announced the release date to The Carter V.
The rappers rocked the stage at Sprite's NBA All-Star Party at the House of Blues to deliver the big news. "If you want to hear Lil Wayne at his best, if you wanna hear Young Money at they best... Carter V, May 5," said Drizzy. "Just know we about this shit for real."
Lil Wayne's previous effort I Am Not A Human Being II, received mixed reviews from fans but sold over 500,000. Last year he tweeted that he would be hard at work to win his fans back.

Beyonce’s ubiquitous hit ‘Drunk in Love’ gets a makeover thanks to Kanye West. The rapper-producer, along with his collaborative partner Mike Dean, remixed Queen Bey’s song into swooping bass-heavy orchestral jam.
Yeezy kicks off the track with a sexually explicit verse which references his fiancé Kim Kardashian and how they get down in the bedroom.
“That cowgirl, you reverse that cowgirl / You reverse, you reverse, and I pregnated your mouth, girl, ooh / That’s when I knew you could be my spouse, girl / We f–kin’ all over the house, girl, we just messed up a brand new couch, girl,” he raps.
Oh behave, Kanye.
Elsewhere, ‘Ye breaks down the beat and lets Beyonce’s vocals be the centerpiece of track. Jay-Z’s lyrics also remain intact in all of its “Eat the cake, Anna Mae” glory.
Overall, West did a great job on the remix. Also it’s good to hear that he’s quite happy to be drunk in love with his spouse Kimmy.

Girl group PTAF explain how their song "Boss A** B*tch" came together after making fun of a girl at school, which was originally "I Don't Like That B*tch." They reveal that the video came together at school, and not much thought was put into it, so they were shocked when it started getting views.
The girls say that when viewers started making their own Vine videos and redirecting back to their YouTube video, their popularity soared. Soon after, label deals started popping up, and the girls felt they were most comfortable with Capitol.
When asked about Nicki Minaj jumping on the remix, they said they were shocked when they heard about it, but are glad for the exposure.
