BET has booked its headliner for the BET Awards later this month! The network announced this weekend that Nicki Minaj will take the stage (and owning the entire show, we’re sure) on June 28 at the Microsoft Theater.

Since she’ll be performing to promote the Pinkprint album, it’s predicted that she’ll be performing her latest track, “Feelin’ Myself.” This lead us to wonder whether she’ll have Beyoncé come and back her up for the show.

According to Rap-Up.com, this will actually be her second performance as part of BET Awards weekend. Nicki is set to perform a full show at the BET Experience on June 26 as part of her Pinkprint Tour.

With two sets and six award nominations, it looks like this is really shaping up to be Nicki’s weekend!


 

Did Gabrielle Union Snub D.Wade’s Break Baby?

Gabrielle Union might still be a wee bit salty about her husband Dwyane Wade having a baby during a rough patch in their relationship.

The Being Mary Jane star, who married D.Wade last summer, neglected to count his newest baby among the number of children he brought into the marriage.

“Marrying into a family of three boys and becoming a stepmother to three kids has just sort of been an extension to how I was raised,” she told People magazine. “The more, the merrier! Everyone counts. Everyone has a space.”

Well…maybe not everyone. Although she only mentioned three kids, D.Wade definitely has four: two sons with his ex-wife, one nephew that he has custody of…and a toddler he had with another woman during his brief breakup from Gabrielle.

We might have to give her the benefit of the doubt on this one. It is entirely possible that Gabby simply forgot to mention her man’s youngest since she lives with the other three.
