Seems as if Nicki’s trips to Hawaii were all work and no play. BET VP Stephen Hill spilled the beans to Rap-Up that he heard a song off Kanye’s tentatively titled Good Ass Job featuring the Harajuku Barbie. “He’s got a track with Nicki Minaj that’s so dope,” he exclusively revealed to Rap-Up.com. “You won’t believe it when you hear it.” We’ll see September 14th.

Last October, T-Pain put his Big Ass Chain to rest. But now, he’s found a new way to squander his wealth. Feast your eyes on his latest purchase. It’s supposed to be a diamond encrusted Nuvo bottle, but from here, it looks more like a bedazzled dildo. yk2
