Nicki Minaj Is Going To Have A Baby

According to the Guardian, Nicki Minaj is pregnant with her first child.

The rapper posted three images on Instagram, one featuring the caption “#Preggers” and another reading: “Love. Marriage. Baby carriage. Overflowing with excitement & gratitude. Thank you all for the well wishes.”

The father is Kenneth Petty, who Minaj married in 2019. “I didn’t think it would be as refreshing and calming as it is,” Minaj has said of her marriage. “Even if you’re not married, when you have someone that feels like your soulmate or someone who understands you, it just makes you feel like you’re on top of the world.”

Petty was convicted of attempted rape in 1995. Earlier this year, he pleaded not guilty when charged with failing to register himself as a sex offender after moving to California from New York, with a trial date yet to be set. He served a seven-year sentence for a 2006 manslaughter conviction, stemming from a 2002 shooting.

Having never scored a No 1 hit in the US before, Minaj has topped the US charts twice this year, first in May with her remix to Doja Cat’s single Say So, and then in June with Trollz, her track with 6ix9ine. Her most recent album was Queen in 2018.

Over ten months ago, rap star Nicki Minaj announced that she was leaving the music business because she wanted to make family life her priority.

The 36-year-old Trinidadian-born rapper, who grew up in New York and is known for her outlandish outfits, bizarre alter egos and fast flow, made the announcement in a tweet in September 2019.

Over the course of her decade-long career, Minaj has been nominated for 10 Grammys; earned a Guinness World Record in 2017 for most Billboard Hot 100 entries by a solo female artist; and hauled in five MTV Video Music Awards.

Earlier this year Minaj was certified by the Recording Industry Association of America as the first female rapper to officially sell 100m albums and singles.

After signing a music deal in 2009, Minaj released her first studio album, Pink Friday, a year later, peaking at No 1. Her second album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded also hit No 1.

Several subsequent albums sold well and she also branched out into appearing in movies; including Ice Age: Continental Drift, and on television, where she was a judge on American Idol.

The New York Times once called Minaj “a sparkling rapper with a gift for comic accents and unexpected turns of phrase. She’s a walking exaggeration, outsize in sound, personality and looks. And she’s a rapid evolver, discarding old modes as easily as adopting new ones”.

She’s leaving all that to focus on being a mum.

Congratulations Nicki!

365 days on Netflix: See What People Are Saying

Netflix’s new Polish film 365 Days or 365DNI is off to a strong start for the streaming service, currently trending at number 6 on the platform in the United States as of this writing. But the movie’s rapid popularity may be more of a curse than a blessing for the hungry streaming service. Viewers have taken to Twitter to express their displeasure and discomfort with the racy, sexually charged new movie due to its controversial subject matter.

What Is 365 DNI About?

365 DNI follows a fiery executive (Anna Maria Sieklucka) stuck in a spiritless relationship when a powerful mafia boss (Michele Morron) abducts her. He then gives her one year to fall in love with him. It is based on an erotic book of the same name written by Blanka Lipińska. The movie seems to have struck a nerve with Netflix viewers. Complaints centre around the idea that the film is romanticizing Stockholm syndrome.

However, other viewers have favourably compared the film to Universal’s billion-dollar Fifty Shades of Grey franchise thanks to its erotic tone and racy sex scenes, which include depictions of BDSM and voyeurism. Many viewers are clamouring for the other three books in the series to receive film adaptations as well. Given the film’s prominent place in Netflix’s regional Top 10 list, it’s clear that 365 DNI, which translates to 365 Days, is drawing attention.

The Roots of 365 days

The film was originally released in Poland on February 7. It was grossed around $9.4 million overall. The story follows Laura (Sieklucka), a successful sales director. She works for a luxury hotel in Poland and was attempting to rejuvenate her stalled marriage.  She was kidnapped by Massimo (Morrone), head of the Sicilian mafia following his father’s assassination. The latter kept her as a prisoner in his villa. Interesting yeah?  Others don’t find it interesting.

The Reviews of 365 DNI

Twitter and Instagram specifically have seen different commentaries.

A twitter user Mide was disappointed at what he saw.  But, he didn’t leave without leaving a word for the folks who advised him to go see the movie.

For those of you that advised me to watch 365 days on Netflix, my God will judge you.

This is day 5 of 7 that I have been fasting and you sent me directly to watch PORN!!

How dare you????????? pic.twitter.com/OpjXbyGaai

This was the crux of the complaints. People complained that the movie promoted the Stockholm Syndrome.

Pamela, on the other hand, expected something romantic but not explicit. She was rather surprised at how things took turns.

I can’t be the only one who thought #365days on netflix was going to be an innocent romance film. 😂😂😂 Boy was I wrong that shit was more explicit than fifty shades of grey and reminded me of a book i read on #wattpad when i was 12 😂😂😂

— Pamela (@orangeblosssoms) June 9, 2020

There were, however, others who thought the movie was promoting rape.

 

365 days on netflix is one of thr worst movies i have ever seen. Do not waste your time. It’s so rapey?? Idk why people think thats hot
You know whats hot? CONSENT

— stan anonymous 😍😍😍 (@Ilhamscorner) June 10, 2020

Gracy Mama on Twitter found it rather interesting. She is probably among the minority who give the movie a thumbs up.

  • Polish erotic film 365 DNI launched on Netflix yesterday to much fanfare
  • The film sees a businesswoman imprisoned by a mafia boss against her will 
  • People compared the English version to the series Fifty Shades of Grey
  • Critics claim the film ‘romanticizes a forced relationship’ 

 

Fans of the X-rated film said it was the ‘hottest thing ever’ and ‘made Fifty Shades of Grey look PG’. But, critics have accused the creators of ‘romanticizing’ a dangerous relationship between a captor and victim. One person wrote: ‘Please remember that there is a huge difference between fantasy and reality. If you are a guy, please don’t get any ideas.  ‘No girl wants to be kidnapped and made to fall in love.‘

Meanwhile, another viewer, who is based in the US, tweeted: ‘It romanticizes harassment (which is so messy by the way), there’s Stockholm syndrome (which is a mental condition from which a victim falls in love with her abductor and should not be normalized).’

The Twitter user pleaded with her fellow viewers to stop comparing the Polish movie to Fifty Shades of Grey, insisting that there are few parallels between the two other than the risque sex scenes.

‘Sure the sex scenes are great and very intimate, but all of those happened after a few sexual harassment and uncomfortable scenarios,’ she continued. ‘I mean – stop comparing it to Fifty Shades of Grey.
