With Nicki Minaj‘s US tour on the back-burner until 2019, the femcee is throwing more time into plugging new album ‘Queen.’

‘Ellen’ was her latest stop and Onika made sure to make it count.

During her candid chat with the talk-show host, Minaj expanded on her gripe with Travis Scott – who she infamously claimed scammed his way to #1 (bumping her to #2) by bundling his album with merchandise.

On the drama, she said:

“I’ve had a #2  [album] and I never cared. It’s just that when you have a #2 album to someone who’s selling shirts and merch and selling passes for a tour that has not even announced yet; it feels like you’re being tricked. It feels like someone is playing a game as opposed to just selling music. I want to sell music.”

Elsewhere, she spoke about her lovers – old and new, and performed a ‘Queen’ medley comprised of  ‘Barbie Dreams,’ ‘Ganja Burn,’ and 6ix9ine collab ‘Fefe.’ 

Nicki, who’s long been an advocate for education, also spread good cheer by teaming with Ellen to help fans pay their student costs.

All the action awaits after the jump…

Eminem is wasting no time bringing new album ‘Kamikaze’ into the visual realm.

For, moments ago he unleashed the video for ‘Fall.’

The clip for the cut sees Slim Shady re-team with James Larese. 

During the course of the vid, Em hits back at the naysayers while also throwing jabs at himself (see: stepping on his recently released ‘Revival’ CD).

With ‘Kamikaze’ now on course to deliver first week figures of 365,000-385,000 SPS (220,000-235,000 pure), ‘Fall’ looks set to gift the LP a streaming boost.

With her return to the Vegas strip via the aptly titled ‘The Butterfly Returns’ residency recently extended due to its popularity (click here to read), fans of pop icon Mariah Carey began worrying her long-awaited new album may have suffered a pushback as a result.

But, if a recent announcement on Amazon is anything to judge by, the project – the follow-up to 2014’s ‘Elusive Chanteuse’ – may be seeing the songbird returning to the charts a lot sooner than previously expected.
