Ever since that story that Safaree Samuels told about Nicki Minaj, I haven?t been able to look at her the same way. It?s not like I was ever a Barbz, but? I believed Samuels. I believed that Nicki attacked him and stabbed him and sent him to the emergency room. I also believe that Nicki Minaj starts sh-t and verbally trashes people and then when they respond, she wants to pretend she?s the innocent one. That?s her M.O. SoNicki is married now, to Kenneth Petty. She and Petty ran into her ex-boyfriend Meek Mill in West Hollywood. Meek and Nicki?s relationship was not a healthy one, but I kind of thought it was all water under the bridge. Apparently not, because all three parties got into some kind of altercation.
Meek Mill took a walk down memory lane that almost ended in blows running into his ex, Nicki Minaj, and her husband, Kenneth Petty and they werent happy to see each other. The shouting match went down Friday at the high-end clothing store Maxfield in West Hollywood, where somehow Meek happened to stumble across his old flame and her current partner. Its unclear who was there first, but regardless it got heated.
TMZ got a hold of the face-off, and you can see Meek in white being held back and escorted out of the store by both his own security team and guys working for the boutique. In the background, you clearly hear Nicki and Kens voices theyre pretty distinctive. No official word on what started the beef, but based on what we can make out it sounds like they were talking crap to each other over Nicki plain and simple. Oh, and get this sources tell us NM and KP were alone, and Meek was rolling with 10 heads deep.
Anyway, Ken calls Meek a p***y and Meek calls him one back while adding he cant face or talk to him one-on-one without a cluster of people in between. Nicki gets in on the yelling too seemingly calling Meek a bitch, and also seemingly adding he cant get over her.
Update: Sources connected to Meek tell us he was already in the store shopping when Nicki and Kenneth came in an approached him. When Kenneth started getting loud, Meek suggested they all have a word in private, but they refused according to our sources. Were told Meek wanted to keep things civil, because, as one source put it Hes just happy hes in a much better place, personally and professionally, than he was back when he and Nicki were dating.

I don?t care, honestly. I just thought the video was funny (see below). As the argument got louder, you could see all of these people getting the fk out of the store. And yes, I think Meek called up TMZ to give them his side of the story, thus that update. Do I think that Nicki and Petty walked up to Meek and tried to start some sh-t? Again, that?s her M.O. Now the Barbz are trying to make it sound like Meek is still hung up on Nicki. Again, I don?t know.

Very few of you paid attention to this and a couple of you were begging for the coverage, so WTF but the Grammys are a hotbed of controversy and shenanigans. It would be notable at any time, but this has all come together in basically the week preceding the Grammys, which are tonight. The ousted Recording Academy president and CEO Deborah Dugan made ?explosive? claims about the Recording Academy. Claims of sexual harassment and the deeply unfair Grammy nomination process, not to mention a claim of rape against the former president Neil Portnow. Dugan has aired her concerns and claims publicly in a TV interview, and it?s been the talk of the music industry for days.
So how will it affect the Grammys tonight? The show must go on, of course, but at least one major musical talent is taking her leave: Taylor Swift was loosely scheduled to make a ?surprise performance? but now she?s not going to do it:
Taylor Swift has bowed out of a possible performance on the Grammy Awards program Sunday night just as stealthily as it appeared she might have bowed into it, multiple sources tell Variety.
Her possible appearance on the show had been kept a secret ? albeit not an extremely well-kept secret ? so her exit won?t create the problems that would have occurred if one of the many performers that had been announced were to have taken their leave.
Sources say that she was never formally confirmed for the show, though hopes were high that the show could nail down an appearance that was well along in talks.
Rehearsal schedules for the taping at Staples Center had included one ?TBA? artist that was believed to have been reserved for Swift, possibly performing her most recent album?s feminist anthem, ?The Man? ? which could have taken on extra meaning, given the charges of sexism swirling around the Recording Academy.

Taylor was also supposed to attend, in general, because she?s nominated in three Grammy categories, including Song of the Year. But Lover didn?t get nominated for Album of the Year or Record of the Year, the two big ones. (Neither did Reputation a few years ago.) One of Dugan?s complaints was that the committee overseeing those nominations decided to ignore artists like Swift in favor of ?more curious choices.?
Variety broke the story, but they noted that they didn?t have confirmation that Swift pulled out of the Grammys because of Dugan?s claims exactly. Page Six had more information from an unnamed source though the source said that Swift was planning on performing ?The Man,? and ?Obviously, that would [have been] extremely pointed.? The source also insinuated that Swift did pull out because of Dugan?s interview, and the source said: ?Here?s why I think the ceremony will be troubled ? a lot of the artists will feel cheapened if there are voting irregularities around Song of the Year.? I mean? there are always ?voting irregularities.? Not to be Debbie Downer, but the Grammys are fking awful and they never represent what?s really happening in music. They are ALWAYS shady. They always give big awards to ?surprise? (white) people. The Grammys suck. Anyway, I?m glad Taylor is taking a principled stance here, I think, if that?s what she?s doing.
