Fresh off the release of her brand new single “Red Ruby Da Sleeze,” Nicki Minaj returned to Queen Radio on Friday, March 3, via Amp where she announced that she is launching her own record label under Republic Records.
With Paddy Dukes serving as A&R, Nicki Minaj gave us some insight as to why she started the label.
“I have a record label now,” Nicki said. “I want to do it right ’cause you know when I get behind an artist, y’all know how I do shit for people that’s not even signed to me. Imagine what I’ma do for the ones that’s signed.”
Nicki will reveal the name of the label on the next episode of Queen Radio, but has announced her roster includes London Hill, Nana Fofie, Rico Danna, and Tate Kobang, who wrote the hook and is also featured on “Red Ruby Da Sleeze.”

Diddy To Remain In Custody; Trafficking Trial Set for May 2025
Disgraced music mogul Sean “Diddy” Combs appeared in court today, where Judge Arun Subramanian scheduled his federal trial to begin on May 5, 2025, during a hearing held in New York on October 10. Combs is to remain in custody until the trial date.
Combs, escorted by U.S. Marshals, entered the courtroom with his ankles shackled, wearing a loose-fitting tan shirt and khaki pants. Several family members were present in the second row, according to CNN.
Diddy is being charged with racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking, and transportation for the purpose of engaging in prostitution. Prosecutor Emily Johnson anticipates the case to span three weeks, though a potential superseding indictment may extend the trial’s duration, bringing additional charges or defendants into the fold.
Marc Agnifilo, the attorney representing Combs, stated that the defense expects their presentation to last approximately one week. Judge Subramanian also announced he will issue an order prohibiting both parties from making public statements regarding grand jury materials and other non-public evidence, following Combs’ attorneys filing a motion on Wednesday, Oct. 9, accusing the government of leaking a video showing Combs assaulting his former girlfriend, Cassandra “Cassie” Ventura.

JAY-Z and Beyoncé’s Lawyers Send Piers Morgan A Letter Following Jaguar Wright Interview
Last week, Jaguar Wright appeared on Piers Morgan Uncensored, where she discussed Sean “Diddy” Combs’ recent arrest. During the interview, she referred to both Diddy and JAY-Z as “monsters,” and claimed that the Roc Nation rapper and his wife, Beyoncé, were also responsible for harming hundreds of victims.
On Tuesday, October 8, Piers Morgan issued a public apology on YouTube and released an edited version of Wright’s interview that omitted her accusations. In his statement, Morgan explained:
“Jaguar, unexpectedly, made several serious allegations about Jay-Z and Beyoncé during that interview. As I said in the moment, they were not present to respond or defend themselves, but now they have. Their lawyers contacted us to say that those claims were ‘totally false’ and have no basis in fact, and we’ve therefore complied with a legal request to cut them from the original interview. Editing interviews is not something we do lightly at a show called Uncensored but like the proverbial cries of fire in a crowded theater, there are legal limits on us, too. And we apologize to Jay-Z and Beyoncé.”
Morgan continued, “The thing about platforms, the reality of the modern world is that pretty much everyone has a platform as long as they have something to say that other people want to hear. That’s why we invited [Wright] on to be interviewed. The people making these claims have an audience with or without shows like mine.”
Beyoncé & Jay Z’s lawyers got Pierce Morgan to issue an apology and retraction on his “Uncensored” show after he allowed a deranged woman come on and spew falsehoods about them.
