    Nicki Minaj has always displayed her love for her brothers!! I'm sure this news is really hurting her heart. These are serious charges.
    Nicki Minaj's older brother has been accused of raping a child, according to court documents.
    Jelani Maraj, 37, was charged with first-degree rape of a child younger than 13 and first-degree sexual conduct against a child in a Long Island, New York, court on Thursday.
    The Nassau County Correctional Center confirmed he was released on $100,000 bond. Maraj is due back in court on Dec. 9, according to the Nassau County district attorney's office.
    The accusations come mere months after Maraj married fiancée Jacqueline Robinson in Baldwin, New York, in August. His famous sister, 32, attended the nuptials.
    A caption Nicki Minaj posted on Instagram under the picture of her and her big brother at his wedding;
"I would cross the ocean for u, I would go & bring u the moon. Promise u. For u I will. I love my brother so much man. Can't believe I cried during his wedding and his first dance like a punk. May God bless him and his union. Tonight has been one of my favorite nights of all time. I do anything to see my brothers smile."

Angie Martinez Resigns From Hot 97 And Heads To Power 105.1

    Yesterday the net was buzzing after radio legend Angie Martinez shared the news of her resignation from Hot 97 radio station after 15 years on the air. I was completely shocked. Angie Martinez is a female radio personality that I admire. So when I heard she was leaving I thought it was going to be for a different calling...lol..ummm nope!! I guess its no longer about being HOT.Its about making POWER moves. Get into the story below.
    VIA
    It looks like Angie Martinez — “The Voice of New York,” as even President Obama calls her — isn’t going too far after all.
    On Thursday morning (June 19), Clear Channel announced that Martinez would be joining the team at rival radio station Power 105. 1, in addition to airing on 103.5 The Beat in Miami. She’s set to host a new afternoon show, running fro 2 – 6 p.m in New York. Power 105 and Hot 97 have been fierce competitors in recent years, so the move is definitely unexpected.
    Martinez announced her resignation on-air Wednesday, and that was followed by an Instagram post saying goodbye. The outpouring of reactions was immediate, with colleagues and artists like Q-Tip paying their respects.
    “This was one of the toughest decisions I’ve ever had to make but ultimately it is time to move on, to grow and to be challenged in new ways,” she said in her farewell post. “Saying goodbye is always emotional and bitter sweet but I am extremely excited about the future.”
    Hopefully her next move is the best move.
