Nicki Minaj's "The Pinkprint" is laced with relationship frustrations and heartache. It is considered one of the rapper's most personal records to date. Minaj stopped by Power 105.1's studios recently to talk about the album, and she even got a little emotional when she talked about her ex-boyfriend Safaree Samuels, whose presence on the record is looming, "XXL" noted."My relationship was based off of love," Minaj told Angie Martinez. "And there still is nothing but love there. This is not some person I picked up off the street. This is somebody I grew up with. Like I don't even know how I'm gonna function without that person in my life. I've never lived my life as a famous person without him."According to Minaj, the only reason the two are not married with children now is the music industry. -

Jack White Singles Discovered Inside Furniture After Being Hidden for 10 Years
If you think Jack White's penchant for quirky, vinyl releases started with his solo career in the last few years, then you are way off. In the early 2000s, White and his friend Brian Muldoon played together in a duo known as The Upholsterers — named for their actual profession at the time — but instead of releasing their second single in a traditional manner, they decided to press just 100 copies and sew them into 100 pieces of furniture that Muldoon was reupholstering in 2004 without telling the owners of the furniture. Though it would be fair to assume that this story was just Jack White doing some self-mythologizing, Third Man Records claims that two of the 100 singles have recently been discovered.In celebration of the single's discovery, White has shared the cover artwork, which was created by Detroit artist Gordon Newton.
