TMZ cameras caught up with Nicki Minaj last night and got her all riled up after inquiring on rapper Ransom’s recent line in his song “Man Alone” where he suggests he did some ghost writing work for Minaj in the past.  “Before Nicki was wearing those crazy wigs/I was doing verses for her/just hoping she made it big,” said rapper Ransom.

After being questioned, Nicki proceeded to rant about how she’s never needed or used any ghost writer in her career.  Minaj also goes on to diss Ransom and makes it clear how she feels about him and his career.

ARTWORK: Drake Covers XXL Magazine’s 150th Issue

YMCMB’s Drake covers his first solo cover for XXL magazine’s 150th issue and 16th anniversary.  This is perfect timing for the young artist as he recently performed a successful show for the annual #OVOFest and currently is in the studio prepping his third album Nothing Was The Same.  XXL’s Thomas Golianopoulos got the opportunity to sit down with Drake and address a number of topics during a two-hour interview with the former Degrassi star.  Take a look at some excerpts from the interview below.

ON THE NEW ALBUM
I remember coming into this year thinking, “How am I going to cut through all these people and shine?” I’ve never been part of a year when so many legends are dropping projects. How am I going to be seen? I’m going to be like the kid waving in the background in the photo with all of his tall relatives. And, I guess, those were my initial thoughts, and not to say that I haven’t enjoyed some of the stuff that has come out this year, but it didn’t pan out the way I thought it was going to. I think I am going for it, to really establish what are murmurs or things being said quietly, “Um, I think that Drake might actually…” On September 17th I want people to be like, “Oh, we were right.”

ON HIS IMAGE
Do I think that if I didn’t have, for lack of a better term, a unique look about me, if I was from somewhere in America and if I hadn’t been on a kids TV show [Degrassi: The Next Generation], would I be as famous? I don’t know, man. Honestly, I don’t think so. I was just some young kid on a TV show. And I haven’t become anything else while I’ve been in this position. It’s not like I got here and was like, “Oh, got to switch up my image.” I don’t wake up nervous. I feel like maybe a lot of these guys do. How old are you, really? What is your background, really? What have you really done in the drug game, in the thug game?

ON THE COMPETITION
It’s tough for me. That’s a guy I can’t pretend not to like. He’s the guy to me, in a lot of ways. That’s Kanye West. But I’m also here to be the best. I’m here to surpass. I’m here to outdo. I’m ready for whatever with anybody.

ON HIS SUCCESS
I get Jewish people coming up to me proud like, “Mazel Tov, bro. Come to my house for Shabbat dinner.”

AMANDA BYNES
I don’t even know who that is doing that or what that’s about. If that is her, I guess it’s a little weird and disturbing. It’s obviously a behavioral pattern that is way bigger than me. Whoever is behind it, whether it’s her or somebody else, they know people are paying attention so they keep it going.

Also in the magazine this month, XXL honors the 150th issue with the ultimate list of the 150 most important people, places and things in hip-hop during the XXL era. And keeping with the birthday theme, many important albums are celebrating special anniversaries this year. In honor of those critically acclaimed LPs, XXL had some of today’s most popular MCs review them. Kendrick Lamar talks Snoop Dogg’s Doggystyle, which turns 20 this year. Nas looks back at Lauryn Hill’s The Miseducation Of Lauryn Hill, which turns 15. And B.o.B. discusses the OutKast decade-old opus,Speakerboxxx/The Love Below plus many more in the magazine and on XXLMag.com.

Wayne and company deliver a short visual teaser for “God Bless Amerika” off Weezy’s upcoming I Am Not A Human Being II.  Shot in New Orleans, Wayne recently found himself on the receiving end of some public outrage when behind-the-scenes footage surfaced a few weeks back and showed the YMCMB rapper accidentally stepping on the American flag during taping.  Directed by Elf Rivera, the clip finds Weezy in his hometown of Hollygrove standing in front of the American flag rapping a few bars before the clip is abruptly stopped.

Following game seven of the NBA Finals between the San Antonio Spurs and the Miami Heat, rapper Drizzy Drake attempted to make his way with his entourage into Miami’s locker room to celebrate and congratulate Lebron James but was denied access.  From what can be seen in the short clip, a representative for the team or venue security stopped Drake and company at the entrance doors and justified the decision by explaining to the rapper only media was to be permitted.

Drake’s response? Clearly bothered, the YMCMB artist responded back by stating, “I am media”.  I see what you did there Drake.  He knows what the man meant but he chose to respond with the clever double entendre wordplay.  Check out the diss heard throughout all the land go down in the clip above.

In the first part of Weezy’s recent sit down on Jimmy Kimmel Live, the Cash Money artist discusses his past health scares with seizures and clarifies why he’s been M.I.A. the last few times he was suppose to make an appearance on the show.  Another interesting tidbit of information shared by Wayne is the fact that he was alone upstairs and randomly discovered by a friend during his most violent seizure.  In typical humorous fashion, Kimmel is quick to point out that the rap start owes his friend a debt of gratitude seeing as how he most likely saved his life.

In part two, Weezy F. clarifies his currently relationship with the Miami Heat organization and clears up the rumor that he’s actually banned from their home venue along with his new interest in the hockey team the L.A. Kings.  Kimmel also takes the opportunity to question Wayne about his past explicit comment on having slept with Heat star Chris Bosh’s wife to which the seizure prone takes a page out of Jamie Foxx’s book and blames it on the alcohol.

In the final clip, Wayne shares his desire to retire from the rap game and announces that he would like to make his exit following the release of his Tha Carter V album. Finally, Weezy shares his sudden interest in skateboarding that began about two years ago after watching an episode of the Camp Woodward show.
