Nicki Minaj certainly knows how to get people's attention. First she deletes her Twitter account leaving behind 11 million followers, now she is talking about leaving the rap game altogether.

In a new interview with Tim Westwood, the Harajuku Barbie expressed frustration with the response her latest album Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded has gotten. The disc debuted at No. 1 in both the U.S. and the U.K., but the sales figures (253,000 U.S.) weren't as high as some expected for the opening week and more than a few critics have given the disc poor reviews.

"People aren't even giving the kid props for taking it back to the essence," she said in one of her many accents. "This is my fourth mixtape really. The kid did it like that to feed her fans. But really, now the kid is thinking maybe she should leave the game."

At that point her hype man Safaree said people are ungrateful.

"Not my babies, not my Barbz," Nicki replied. "But these other folk finna make the kid leave the game."

The official trailer for the forthcoming comedic film, ‘Madea’s Witness Protection’ dropped this week and it looks like is Ms. Mabel Simmons has just got herself a new job – working with the United States government. Perry, Romeo, and many others appear on the cast roster. Peep the official synopsis and trailer below. ‘Madea’s Witness Protection’ hits movie theaters on June 29th.

SYNOPSIS:
For years, George Needleman (Eugene Levy), the gentle CFO of a Wall Street investment bank, has been living with his head in the clouds. His frustrated second wife, Kate (Denise Richards), has reached her limit taking care of his senile mother, Barbara. His teenage daughter, Cindy, is spoiled beyond hope and his seven-year-old son, Howie, wishes his father were around more. But George is finally forced to wake up when he learns that his firm, Lockwise Industries, has been operating a mob-backed Ponzi scheme — and that he’s been set up as the fall guy.

Facing criminal charges and death threats from the mob, George and his entire family are put under witness protection in the safest place that Brian (Tyler Perry), a federal prosecutor from Atlanta, can think of… His Aunt Madea’s house down South. [SOURCE]

We know you’re 100 percent shocked by the headline of this post. But, it’s true. Despite the fact that John Calipari clearly wanted all of the players who led him to his first NCAA Championship earlier this month to stay in school—by doing things like, you know, signing one of the two best players in the country for next season—the Wildcats entire starting five from the title game will be leaving school early and entering the 2012 NBA Draft in June. Michael Kidd-Gilchrist, Terrence Jones, Doron Lamb, Marquis Teague, and, of course, Mr. Unibrow himself Anthony Davis all announced that they’ll be leaving Kentucky for the NBA during a press conference earlier  last night.

“This is a players’ first program,” Calipari said. “I said it three years ago. During the season, it’s about our team. You saw it in this year’s team, they were about each other. When the season is over, it’s about moments like this.”

And by “moments like this,” Coach Cal obviously means “moments when you remind other coaches that you can lose your entire starting five and still be ranked in the Top 25 next season.” Oh, how sweet it is, eh, Coach?
