Looks like Ms. Minaj has had her last straw with the Internets tonight when she voiced how upset she was by the fact that a Nicki Minaj fansite  posted some her music which had leaked. Roman chucked the deuce to her 11 million followers saying she couldn’t take it anymore. More than likely the YMCMB rapstress is just pissed off at what are looking to be some low first week album sales of her sophomore album, Pink Friday: Roman Reloaded. Seeing how Twitter is such an important tool for celebrities to market themselves, Nicki will be back to Tweeting in no time. In the meantime, #Woosah.

 Bobby Ray unveiled the tracklist to his sophomore LP, Strange Clouds, today with an all-star guest list of mainstream music figures. The project is slated to feature Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown, Lil Wayne, T.I., Trey Songz and yes, Taylor Swift. Morgan Freeman appears on the intro to the project so expect a memorable narrative from the veteran actor as well.

Having heard a bulk of this album myself, I can tell you that there are some of those big pop records that you could expect from B.o.B. as well as some more telling of the Grand Hustle artist’s lyrical stylings. Bobby should have something for everyone when the album drops on May 1st. Checkout the full tracklist after the jump.
