Nicki Minaj making history

Nicki Minaj is featured as one of the 100 Most Influential People in the World according to Time magazine. This is because Nicki is not only slaying and smashing the music industry, but she even turns her epic guest verses into full-on song takeovers.

Nicki Minaj is making history. Nicki Minja has now become the first female rapper on the cover of Time magazine.

In a video interview with TIME, Nicki Minaj talks about the topic of equal pay, advising women to be direct about how much they feel they are due. 

“One thing I learned along the way in business is the necessity for you to be unapologetic about asking for how much money you deserve,”

“At a very early stage in my rap career, I was making six figures for shows…If I heard there was another rapper making that, I thought, ‘you know what? I get out there and demand or command a crowd. I get out there and make my fans happy. I get out there and give a real show. I want that, too.’ And I pushed myself to be better with my showmanship, but I also decided, you know what? I want to be compensated well.”

Zac Efron and Sami Miro over

Looks like actor Zac Efron has split from his girlfriend Sami Miro of two years.

Zac Efron has deleted every photo of his girlfriend Sami Miro off his Instagram and stopped following her account. Usually when someone in a relationship deletes all their pictures of their other half means that the relationship is over. 

Us Weekly and E! News also confirm the two have called it quits after almost two years of dating.

Although I would love for Zac and Vanessa to get back together, I mean they were the IT couple and just adorable to watch. From the High School Musical moments to their cute photo shoots and her songs about him.

So Efron lovers celebrate because Zac is back on the market.

Lil' Kim unrecognisable

Lil' Kim looked totally unrecognisable in a collage of selfies she Instagrammed while in Miami on Sunday. 

The rapper is unrecognisable! The first time I saw this I didn't know it was her. That't not the Lil' Kim I know. What do you guys think? Is she going overboard? Or has that line been crossed a long time ago?

Here are a few throwbacks of Lil Kim. 

What happened?

This was Lil' Kim last month at Brinks 5th Year Anniversary Party in Los Angeles on March 31. However, it looks like her something has changed even more with Lil Kim. To have stretched back shaped eyes, sparking rumours she has had a face lift.

She revealed to Billboard last month why she hasn't been doing a lot of music and hasn't released a full album -

"For a long time, my focus was my baby,"

"I wasn't thinking about music at all, and my focus was just raising my baby. Now that she's 19 months and she's going to be two this summer, she's motivating me to do music again. We play music all the time and she's always dancing."

The single mother-of-one will honour the late Biggie Smalls at the Bad Boy Family Reunion Tour happening May 20-21 at Brooklyn's Barclays Center.

Lemonade continues

Beyonce has shown us surreal visuals, black cultural references, and some cryptic hidden messages about her marriage with Jay Z. 

Other than that, it's been pretty clear how many female stars we see during the video that Beyoncé has blessed us with. Showing her own all-star squad to bring the album's message of empowerment and self-acceptance to life. Take that Taylor Swift.

Stars such as Serena Williams, Zendaya, Amandla Sternberg, Chloe and Halle Bailey, Lisa-Kaindé and Naomi Diaz. And model Winnie Harlow, Lesley McSpadden the mother of the late Mike Brown, and Sybrina Fulton Trayvon Martin's mum. She appears holding portraits of their sons.

Academy Award-nominated actress Quvenzhané Wallis appears at several points in Lemonade—here flanked by a sea of women in white, alongside Blue Ivy.

Lemonade also demonstrates Beyoncé’s increasing willingness and desire to express her political views.

Serena Williams is spotted in the video for "Sorry," a song that's an unapologetic breakup anthem, backing up Beyoncé in a hot black unitard and showing off her dance moves.

Have you heard some of her songs yet or seen any of the visuals? What do you think?

LEMONADE IS OUT

And just like that Beyonce has released another album with visuals to all songs, but yet again Beyonce has broken the Internet. As viewers tuned in to stunning visuals and new music from Queen Bey, it became clear that it was more than a short film but it was her new album. The full album is out on TIDAL, but rumour has it that it may soon be released on iTunes.

According to Tidal, Lemonade "is a conceptual project based on every woman’s journey of self-knowledge and healing." The title is likely a reference to the old adage "when life gives you lemons, make lemonade."

You can listen to the full album on Tidal. Tidal members get exclusive first access to the visual album, and can also stream it offline. However,  non-members can easily sign up for a one-month trial to experience it. It will also be selling a version to download for $17.99//£12.45.

But it's all good for the people who don't want to do this because Lemonade will also launch for sale on iTunes at midnight on today. And you can expect to be able to download or buy actual copies of the album on Amazon soon, too!!

Plus Jay Z got it good from Beyonce. Beyonce exploited Jay Z, for what it sounds like he cheated on her! What! Jay Z cheated on Beyonce!! As a result of that Jay Z got a lot of back flash from the BeyHive on Twitter. Plus a woman committed suicide after hearing that Jay Z cheated on her.

There are 12 tracks. Here's the full list:

Pray You Catch Me
Hold Up
Don't Hurt Yourself (featuring Jack White)
Sorry
6 Inch (featuring the Weeknd)
Daddy Lessons
Love Drought
Sandcastles
