Nicki Minaj will be a hot topic at Hot 97 Summer Jam
This year's Hot 97 Summer Jam is packed with heavy hitters -- including Nas, 50 Cent and The Roots, as well as up-and-comer Action Bronson, hailing from Flushing.
However, it's almost guaranteed that everyone will be talking about the return of Nicki Minaj and the YMCMB crew, following her exit from the 2012 Summer Jam after she was dissed by one of the station's DJs at the show. That beef has since been squashed, with Minaj arriving to roll out her "Pills N Potions" single and even YMCMB head Lil Wayne expected to perform.
Even the second stage will be overflowing with talent, including Iggy Azalea -- who has been dominating the singles sales charts lately with "Fancy" and her collaboration with Ariana Grande, "Problem" -- and Jhene Aiko, who has been teaming up with Drake.
