Nas and Lauryn Hill Rule Summer Jam after Nicki Minaj Diss by Funk Flex PLUS Lil Kim Slams Nicki Minaj’s Plans To Include Foxy Brown in Show Lineup?

Nicki Minaj had big plans for Hot 97's Summer Jam. Mere hours before she was slated to headline the show at New Jersey's MetLife Stadium stage on Sunday – for a hometown crowd of 80,000 – she tweeted in excitement:

That was before Lil Wayne pulled his Young Money star off the bill when Funk Master Flex and Hot 97 DJ Peter Rosenberg who has a reputation for being a bomb-thrower continued to throw shots at the femcee. 

At an event where cameos matter most, Minaj had planned to bring out an impressive cavalcade of stars: Cam'ron, 2 Chainz, Nas, Lauryn Hill, Beenie Man, Foxy Brown, and much of YMCMB (a roster that seemingly expands by the minute) were all going to be onstage with her.

Instead, she went to the club and celebrated with Foxy Brown, Beenie Man, Spragga Benz, & Cam'ron. 

When the news finally got around to Lil Kim she chimmed in on Nicki's attempt to try and reunite female emcees as Kim had already done previously on her current 'Return of The Queen' Tour.

Kim tweeted: 

 Do you think Nicki is a swagger-jacker?? and was Funk Master Flex wrong for going H.A.M. on her?

 Bobbi Kristina has walked off her new TV show, Tyler Perry’s “For Better or Worse.” Radaronline.com is reporting that Bobbi Kristina quit the TBS comedy last week.

“She thought she was ready for this, but she wasn’t,” one source told RadarOnline.com. “Bobbi Kristina had a private breakdown and barely anyone saw it,” the source said. “She was crying and said she needed a minute, she needed a break to get herself together. But then she decided she couldn’t handle doing the show right now. She’s still mourning her mom.” “She is confused right now,” another source told RadarOnline.com. “She is not prepared to live without her mom.”

Bobbi Kristina is still filming her reality TV show for Lifetime, which the source says is less taxing on her and also features other members of Whitney's extended family. But her departure from Perry's show has thrown it into a chaotic state, forcing rewrites to explain the exit of her character.

Perry, says the source, is unhappy about having to deal with the situation but is still fully supportive of Bobbi.

Anyone knew it was too soon for Bobbi K to go to work, she needs time to grief and deal with all the issues she has going on. What are your thoughts?
