Wiz Khalifa Aiming for Nicki Minaj Collaboration
Ever wondered how Wiz Khalifa and Nicki Minaj would sound on a track together? If Wiz has his way, this could soon be a reality.
In an exclusive interview with MTV UK during a break in performances across the pond, the Pittsburgh rhyme slinger has made it clear that he’s a fan of Young Money starlet Nicki Minaj, saying he “absolutely” hopes to work alongside the diva on a collaborative effort in the near feature. The “Black and Yellow” star also heaped high amounts of praise upon the Queens rapper.
“She’s awesome. She’s a hard worker, she makes really good music and she’s really diverse which is important – not only in hip-hop but just in music in general,” gushed Wiz. He continued with, “You gotta be able to switch it up and you gotta be able to still be you and that’s what she’s able to do. I really respect that about her.” When asked by MTV UK what type of tunes would the pair tackle, Wiz gave an, ahem, hazy answer but stayed true to his typically cool image.
“Whatever we feel like that day. I like to be open when it comes to music," said the Rolling Papers MC. “When I get in the studio, I don’t really have anything in mind, I just hear stuff and then we make it happen from there,” Wiz added.

Record Deal For Gwyneth Is Off
Paltrow's talks for a record deal with Atlantic Records has recently gone kaput, according to reports. Did the execs accidentally see Country Strong?
The Oscar winner was close to a deal in March with Atlantic Records, after her Glee cover of Cee Lo Green's F*** You! was a huge hit on iTunes.
A source revealed to Page Six: "Atlantic bosses were very interested, and [Atlantic owner] Warner chief Lyor Cohen was very supportive. But then the talks halted and the deal fizzled out. There was a rumor that Paltrow wanted $1 million to sign, but that is a ridiculous figure. Atlantic is still interested in signing her."
Paltrow's rep said in a statement: "Atlantic was not the only company pursuing her, and she still has not decided if she wants to record an album. It is still something she is considering."
