Nicki Minaj Is Plotting An Unforgettable 2020 By Doing This

Get ready for a whole Nicki Minaj takeover in 2020 now that she has slowed down with her legendary music career. In late 2019, the femcee from New York dropped the bomb that she was retiring from music to “focus on her family.”

Very soon after, she wed her childhood boyfriend, Kenneth Petty, and revealed that she was working on having a baby. Nicki Minaj Is Plotting An Unforgettable 2020 By Doing This.

Fans of the flamboyant diva are often on social media asking, is she really done with music?


In a new interview with Billboard, Nicki said she is not really done with rapping and added: “I love music and interacting with fans, so I can’t really see taking myself completely away. But I want to be open to other possibilities in my life. I do believe it is important to become a woman outside of the magnifying glass.”


Nicki went on to explain why her mini-break from the cameras and the stage are essential: “I have to make sure that I’m well-rounded as a human being.”

So, what is next for the talented lyricist? Nicki plans to expand her business empire.


She said: “I plan on venturing out a million times more than I am now. That was always my goal: to become a big businesswoman. I don’t want to be in such a lucrative industry and not capitalize on it—everyone else does it,” she shared with the publication. “[With Fendi], they ended up reaching out to my team to work on the collaboration after I put out [Queen single] ‘Chun Li.’ I was blown away and honored. I went to Milan and met everyone there. They allowed me to play with fabrics and look at what they were planning for their next line. I didn’t expect it to be this massive—I’m really proud of it!”


Nicki had this to say in the past about Petty making her 2020 very special: “We’re very close as friends, ’cause we’ve known each other since we were kids, but also, we’re so sexually attracted to each other, People can say all they want, ‘Love is not about looks,’ or ‘Physical attraction.’ Yeah, right, if you’re not physically attracted to that person, bye.”


Nicki might have something really cool in store for her supporters next year.

The Escapists Is Now Available For Free On The Epic Games Store

If you’re a PC user and are looking for some free hookups, you have a lot of options at the moment. The Epic Games Store — in particular — is currently offering The Escapists for no charge. It can be downloaded all the way until December 19. Considering this game normally goes for $18, that’s a steal that you don’t want to miss. The Escapists Is Now Available For Free On The Epic Games Store.
Strategy games have a special place for many gamers today, and this one hits all of the right notes for this popular genre. There is addicting gameplay, plenty of critical-thinking, and an abundance of light-hearted fun to go around. Prison life has always been a fascinating concept, especially for those that keep their noses clean.
Well, The Escapists gives you a peak behind that curtain — but don’t worry. It’s still family-friendly and not centered around violence or anything graphic. The main objective — of course — is escaping the prison, but there are a lot of other side missions to enjoy that will further immerse you in the prison life.
There are many ways you can try escaping depending on your particular preference. For example, you could craft some digging tools to burrow down and create an exit on your own accord. Or, you can sit back while riots break out. When the guards least expect it, you can steal one of their keys and gain access to a wide variety of other exit options. The possibilities are endless.
The developer Moudly Toof Studios knew what they were doing when creating the open sandbox design. It really makes The Escapists unique and worth re-visiting time and time again. Even after a beautifully crafted exit strategy, you’ll want to head back into another prison and start over. There are a total of 10 prisons to explore, each with distinct layouts. You thus have plenty of variety to test out your strategy skills.
Another department that this game shines in is humor. There is an amazing cast of inmates you’ll get to interact with in every prison. Hearing their stories and learning about their insider tips really brings the prison culture to the forefront. It’s not often you get a game that checks off as many boxes as The Escapists does. Epic Games really is doing gamers a solid by offering it on their platform. Whether you enjoy challenging puzzles or quirky humor, this game is a true gem that is honestly worth its regular price of $18.

Disney’s Tron: Evolution No Longer Playable By Anyone Due To SecuROMs DRM

Digital Rights Management (DRM) is a pretty spicy issue among gamers, with lines that have been drawn in the sand as early as the late 70s.  Ultimately, however, both sides agree on two things; developers should get paid for quality work, and consumers should be able to use the software they purchase.  If the debate was as simple as that, it would’ve been over shortly after it started.
Yet the world exists in shades of gray, keeping ethics professors well-employed for the foreseeable future. Disney's 'Tron: Evolution' No Longer Playable By Anyone Due To SecuROMs DRM.
One issue of DRM that the argument inevitably circles back around is the concern that if companies that control added DRM go under, large swaths of games could become unplayable by any customer.  Many titles have already fallen prey to this, with many games no longer able to be played unless someone bypasses the DRM; Battlefield 2DarkSporeMoonriseMetal Gear Rising on the Mac, and even Age of Empires Online have all been lost to varying degrees for the rest of time.
Thankfully, the list is shorter than it could be in the future.  Taking into consideration the exponential increase in DRM companies such as DENUVO, a modern anti-tamper company poses a tremendous risk to games if they suddenly go under.  Even Steam offers DRM via the platform itself, and Valve going under could mean the loss of thousands of titles for millions of gamers around the world.
The classic retort to that statement is that the possibility of that happening is slim to none and that there’s no empirical data for that occurring on a large scale.
Recently, however, Disney made a decision with far-reaching consequences; they’ve opted not to renew their contract with SecuROM, whom have been contracted to provide DRM for Disney’s Tron: Evolution.  Nine years after release, Tron: Evolution is no longer playable by any legal owners of the game.
SecuROM refuses to remove the server validation check, and Disney apparently can’t be bothered to do it either.  The game is now simply unplayable for legal owners, due to DRM methodology.  The only people that can continue to play the game are those who find the title on websites that offer illegally cracked versions with no DRM.
It’s a confusing idea, that the developers add DRM to protect against piracy, hurting legitimate owners of the game while those that opt to pirate often experience a problem-free title.
It’s almost as if DRM-inclusion is causing piracy to have merit, and that isn’t the ideal end result for anyone.

Melania Trump Angrily Defends Son Barron Trump But Stays Mum As New Book Reveals Private Details About Her Life With The Donald

A new book about the life of the First Lady Melania Trump promises to reveal some of the dirtiest secrets that the 49-year-old hides.
CNN reporter Kate Bennett is the author of the new unauthorized biography and chose Free, Melania in close resemblance to the slogan “Free Melania” that was often repeated on social media. Melania Trump Angrily Defends Son Barron Trump But Stays Mum As New Book Reveals Private Details About Her Life With The Donald.
In her recent work, the reporter claims that the relationship between the 73-year-old controversial president and his wife is colder than many people would have expected.
According to Bennett, the two of them not only sleep in separate rooms, but their bedrooms are on different floors as well.
Melania is said to occupy her own apartment within the grounds of the White House and more specifically, the rooms that once belonged to Marian Robinson, the mother of the former First Lady, Michelle Obama.
Robinson lived in the White House when Barack Obama became president to help with the care for her granddaughters, Malia and Sasha.
Bennett reported: “She carved out her own space. It is true the first couple doesn’t share a bedroom, according to several sources, and the first lady prefers her own large, private space in a suite of rooms on a separate floor.”
Furthermore, the book also explains why Melania mysteriously disappeared from the public eye for 20 days back in 2018.
According to the official statement, the first lady had to go through a minor and basic procedure that was connected with her kidneys.
However, Bennett claims that the real reason for Melania’s absence was that she had an undefined growth in the kidney area, and as a result, a dangerous and complicated operation was required.
It is stated that Melania’s condition was so serious, that there was even the risk of her losing a kidney if something went wrong with the medical procedure she had.
Melania is also in the news for bashing Pamela Karlan, who made a joke about her son, Barron.
The former European/American model said: “A minor child deserves privacy and should be kept out of politics. Pamela Karlan, you should be ashamed of your very angry and obviously biased public pandering, and using a child to do it.”
Karlan, who is hoping to see Trump impeached recently, joked: “The Constitution says there can be no titles of nobility, so while the President can name his son Barron, he can’t make him a baron.”
The Trumps are good at hitting back.
