As far as fan bases go, few have been as impactful and creative as Nicki Minaj‘s.

For, as the Country star Lil Nas eyes a Billboard Hot 100 #1 after rising to fame on Twitter as Minaj loyalist “Nas Maraj“, a number of the rapper’s fans have risen to become influential figures in Pop culture’s digital realm.

One of the first? David Alexander, the brains behind the Youtube series ‘The Necki Menij Show’.

The series was set in a town ran by “Menij” and inhabited by her Pop peers and in many ways served as a promotional vehicle for her hit-kissed sophomore album ‘Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded’…and now offers a hilarious look into how the rapper and said peers were perceived by fans circa 2012/2013.

After a lengthy break on the bench, ‘TGJ Replay’ is back!

Designed much like our ‘Retro Rewind’ and ‘From the Vault’ segments, ‘Replay’ is That Grape Juice‘s newest retrospective segment – a written quest, if you will, to re-spin the gems and jams of yesterday.

Unlike its ‘Rewind’ and ‘Vault’ predecessors, ‘Replay’ looks to dust off and showcase entire albums (and eras) from a library of pop and Urban pop music hits.  As this weekend will bring with it the 51st birthday of Pop icon Celine Dion, there’s no better time to revisit her ‘calm before the storm’ self-titled effort released in 1992.

B2K‘s reunion tour has had another ‘Bump Bump Bump.’

The quad’s ‘Millennium’ trek has been thrilling audiences Stateside since setting sail earlier this month, however it’s been proving a personal battle for member Raz-B.

Extremely vocal in past years about “negative” forces surrounding the group, it seems as though being back in the fold is drumming up certain emotions.

First, he dramatically quit the tour only to return hours later; then he publicly spoke about not feeling safe due to his sense that the group’s controversial ex manager was “nearby.”

Now, just moments ago in Nashville, the 33-year-old stormed off-stage mid performance.

See what went down below, where an explanation also awaits…
