Friday Facts

Rapper Nicki Minaj is distancing herself from a murder investigation. The body of a young woman was found in a Tokyo hotel after one of the rapper's shows recently. Two members of Minaj's entourage were questioned by authorities regarding the matter. The young woman had attended Minaj's concert with a friend shortly before her death. Minaj took to Twitter and denied any involvement in the matter. No word any other suspects at this time. Rapper Bow Wow will be hitting the road soon. He's heading out on a tour scheduled to hit several cities within the next few  months. This will be his first tour as a Cash Money Records artist. He's also set to release his debut album on the label this month. Rumor has it that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are planning on moving in together. Reportedly, the two have both put their homes on the market and are looking for a place together. No word on when the couple will get settled.  Teen heartthrob Justin Bieber had a mishap during  a concert recently. He proceeded backstage to change, when he hit a wall. He suffered a concussion, but is reportedly fine now. Don't know how much this  helps, but singer Bobby Brown recently stated he likes singer Chris Brown and thinks Brown's an amazing singer and dancer. He went on to add that Brown's been able to keep his head up through all his trials. Hip hop newcomer King Louie received a special endorsement while waiting to prepare his debut for Epic Records. The Chicago MC was leaving the dentist office when while listening to the radio, he heard fellow Chicago native Kanye West shout him out on the single by Chief Keef. He says the shout out was a surprise because the two have never met. He went on to say he'd like to meet West and work with him. For now  though,  he's preparing his debut, which has seen one single, "Val Venis", and he's also released a mixtape, "Showtime". He says both will include collaborations with Chicago's new vanguard, including producer Young Chop and Chief Keef's GBE Crew. No word on when the album will hit stores. After shocking fans with his explicit single, "If Your Ready To Learn", singer Brian McKnight is apparently doubling down on his reputation as a hardcore singer/songwriter by recording a new track for porn site YouPorn. An early release of the track by web site TMZ shows it's far more explicit than "If Your Ready To Learn". Fans will recall that "If Your Ready To Learn" was released as a joke to McKnight's Twitter followers. He was invited to perform the single at the AVN adult film awards, but reportedly declined. After the release of "If Your Ready To Learn", YouPorn promoted the single, creating a spike in sales. They suggested McKnight make them their own theme song as a thank you, and the 16-time Grammy nominee has obliged. Fans can listen to an excerpt at TMZ.
