It looks like Drake won’t be the only rap superstar gracing the stage at the NBA’s inaugural awards show. Today, Turner and the association announced Nicki Minaj will perform at the 2017 NBA Awards when TNT airs the event on Monday, June 26 at 9 p.m. EST.

Fresh off a dazzling, multifaceted performance at the 2017 Billboard Music Awards, Nicki should keep the audience at the 2017 NBA Awards entertained with a few selections from her extensive catalog of bangers and, of course, her electric showmanship. Considering Drizzy’s hosting the awards show, there’s even a slight chance they take the stage together.

The first ever NBA Awards show will honor the best the NBA has to offer by giving out trophies for Kia’s Most Valuable Player, Rookie of the Year, Sixth Man Award, Defensive Player of the Year, Most Improved Player and Coach of the Year.

The NBA is also introducing six new awards fans can vote for, which include Best Style, Assist of the Year, Block of the Year, Dunk of the Year, Game Winner of the Year and Performance of the Year. Find out rules for fan voting here.

The event will also feature appearances from the Sports Emmy Award-winning Inside the NBA studio team Ernie Johnson, Charles Barkley, Kenny Smith and Shaquille O’Neal and a variety of other celebrities and personalities from around the league.

Traditionally, NBA regular season awards are unveiled in the midst of the playoffs and teams have their own special events honoring their players. The 2017 NBA Awards will take place after the NBA Finals conclude at Basketball City in New York City’s Pier 6.

With Nicki performing and Drizzy’s natural hosting charm, the 2017 NBA Awards now officially has something for everyone. We can’t wait.

  The Synagogue Church of all Nations (SCOAN) has countered the BBC documentary on the late Temitope Babatunde Joshua, known as TB Joshua, founder of SCOAN. SCOAN described the documentary against TB Joshua as unfounded, and that the characters interviewed in the report were unknown to the church. The church, in a statement signed by its Public Affairs Director, Mr Dare Adejumo, said the statement was aimed at disabusing public minds from the report. The News Agency of Nigeria (NAN) recalls that the BBC released a highly controversial and damning documentary on the late TB Joshua on Monday, accusing him of various crimes, including rape, against some members. SCOAN said, “BBC World Services investigative unit, code-named Africa Eye, came out this week with weird and strange episodes of atrocities against the late founder of SCOAN.” It said that to investigate and publish or broadcast reports was a central kernel of journalism, but to do so outside the ethics and fundamental principles

  The NBA has suspended former San Antonio Spurs guard  Joshua Primo   for four games   ... after it says it found he exposed his private parts to multiple women. The league announced the ban on Friday morning ... saying an investigation into the free agent revealed he had "engaged in inappropriate and offensive behavior." NBA officials called his actions "conduct detrimental to the league." They did, however, note that they "did not find evidence that he engaged in any sexual or other misconduct apart from these brief exposures." "Primo maintains that his conduct was not intentional," the league said. Dr. Hillary Cauthen , Primo's former therapist, was the first to  bring the allegations  against Primo to light after she claimed last fall that he exposed himself to her on nine separate occasions. Dr. Cauthen's attorney,  Tony Buzbee , alleged the Spurs were aware of Primo's actions, but didn't take action. Cauthen went on to file

The pair were both the scoresheet as the Blues thrashed Middlesbrough 6-1 at Stamford Bridge in the second leg of the Carabao Cup semi-final to boo their place at Wembley.
