Nicki Minaj says mass imprisonment in war on drugs is like slavery

In a wide-ranging interview with Billboard magazine, the musician was asked about the disproportionate number of non-white people targeted by US drug enforcement policies.

"What it has become is not a war on drugs. It has become slavery. Or something crazier," Minaj said.

"When I see how many people are in jail, I feel like, 'Wait a minute. Our government is aware of these statistics and thinks it's OK?'. The sentences are inhumane.

"I love the president for trying to be a voice for people who no other person has ever tried to be a voice for."

Kim Kardashian and more flood front row at Givenchy's show

Not only is this one of week's major celeb attractions, but it also stands as the show offering the most seats to fans in the general public (we're talking 1,200).

The show took place at Pier 26 in Hudson River Park at sundown, creating an equally contemplative and mesmerizing setting (we're talking models standing under drain pipes, wielding olive branches—and then there's that finale number set to a live rendition of "Ave Maria"…). Stars flocked to the much-anticipated presentation, including Tisci's celeb-besties Kim Kardashian and Kanye West.

Katy Perry fires shot at Taylor Swift after Nicki Minaj Twitter feud

One day after the "Anaconda" rapper and the "Shake It Off" singer got into a Twitter spat over the 2015 MTV Video Music Award nominations, the 30-year-old singer has weighed in on their wars of words—and she's not holding back any of her disdain for Taylor Swift. 

"Finding it ironic to parade the pit women against other women argument about as one unmeasurably capitalizes on the take down of a woman..." she wrote (presumably, the tweet was written on her phone and will soon be edited).
