Now, after reports revealed that the National Football League  was to accept financial contributions from artists who hoped to book their iconic halftime show spot, Erlich has weighed in on the matter, after Katy Perry and Rihanna were named as the two female acts most likely to rock next year’s event.

While fans are still abuzz at Beyonce‘s epic 2014 MTV VMA album medley performance, the other performance queen of the night was undoubtedly Nicki Minaj.  Gracing the stage a whopping three times (once by herself, next with Ariana Grande and Jessie J, and then again with Usher), the ‘Moment For Life’ maestra certainly had her fair share of memorable moments from tonight’s showing.

With not even an uncomfortable wardrobe malfunction proving itself strong enough to stand in her way, Minaj maneuvered her way through the series of performances to the sounds of fans cheering in person and via social media.  One such fan, songstress K. Michelle, was particularly proud as she tweeted:

That salute did not fall on deaf ears however.  Shortly after the tweet made its way across the net, angered Lil’ Kim fans came to the defense of their ‘How Many Licks’ hero – a move that caught the attention of the Queen Bee herself.

Read her response to Michelle’s statement below:

The video for Jessie J, Ariana Grande, and Nicki Minaj‘s new smash hit ‘Bang Bang’ fired out of the cannon moments ago, making its debut during the 2014 MTV Video Music Awards.

Indeed, Grande’s ‘My Everything’ (which hits stores tomorrow) has benefitted from the song’s success, which has also helped amplify buzz for Jessie’s third LP ‘Sweet Talker’ and Minaj’s hotly anticipated project ‘The Pink Print’.

As earlier reported, a shooting at a club event Chris Brown hosted last night left Hip-Hop figure Suge Knight wounded (after being shot six times) and subsequently hospitalised.

The singer was tapped to attend and promote the pre-VMA party, which took place at the 1OAK nightclub, and all was going well until gunfire broke out in the early hours of this morning.

Initial reports suggested the bullets were aimed at C. Breezy, however subsequent accounts confirmed he was not the target and the real issue was instead to do with Knight, rapper The Game, and other folk present.

Still, it didn’t stop some sects from unfairly muddying Brown’s name in the melee.

Perhaps in a bid to re-affirm that he wasn’t involved, the 25-year-old took to Twitter to share his stance on the incident.
