Nicki Minaj & will.i.am’s “Check It Out”

HelloBeautifulStaff — Tue, 26 Oct 2010 13:45:03 +0000

Nicki Minaj and will.i.am have released the video for their collaboration, “Check It Out.”

The video is inspired by the Harajuku culture of the Japanese.

In it, Nicki takes the stage of an international talk show, and will.i.am flips – literally – for Nicki, as he raps on the ceiling and gets animated.

“We’re doing almost like an ode to Japanese culture and Japanese anime,” Nicki told MTV News. “I’m obviously a big fan and I’ve joined forces with like the only boy that I know that’s also able to capture that culture.”

The song is the first of two videos from Nicki Minaj that will debut in the weeks before her album “Pink Friday” hits stores on November 23.

Though unclear whether the track will appear on her upcoming debut Pink Friday, Nicki’s will.i.am-assisted “Check It Out” just hit the net, sporting a flipped sample of The Buggles’ “Video Killed the Radio Star.” The upbeat tune will be included on YMHD’s Lime Light Exclusives 3 mixtape, coming soon.

“I don’t want to say too much, but I just did some work with will.i.am,” Minaj previously said on her collaboration with the BEP frontman. “Just something for my album that I’m really excited about.”

She’s sounding real Katy Perry-ish here.

GLAAD Wants Blogger To Apologize For Anti-Gay Slur

Deborah Bennett, Senior Editor — Tue, 23 Jun 2009 19:45:36 +0000

We told you yesterday about the Will.I.Am fight with blogger Perez Hilton, well it seems that GLAAD wants Perez to apologize for using an anti-gay slur during the alleged fight in which Hilton claims he was assaulted by Will’s manager Polo Molina.

According to mtvnews.com, Perez issued a statement to TMZ:

“I am saddened GLAAD chose to victimize me further by criticizing me for how I non-violently dealt with a very scary situation that, unfortunately, turned violent.”

Hilton, who briefly worked as a media relations assistant for GLAAD before becoming a gossip blogger, said that he should be the one who gets the apology, not the other way around.

We hope Perez and Will.I.Am can work it out.

Will.I.Am vs Perez Hilton

Hey Cupcakes,

It’s Music Monday…

As you may have already heard, gossip blogger Perez Hilton is accusing Will.I.Am, talented frontman of The Black Eyed Peas, and his manager Polo of assaulting him in Toronto during the Much Music Awards. Apparently Perez has repeatedly called Fergie “fugly” and hated the recent Peas album, much to the annoyance of the Peas. Their manager has already turned himself in to the cops for the assault but there are dueling videos out as to what exactly happened. Here is the info in their own words.

Do you have any sympathy for Perez Hilton? If you talk ish do you deserve a beatdown or is violence never the answer? Are there some words and actions that incite violent responses? Share your thoughts here or on TWITTER.

xo,

Abiola
