    The Magazine wrote ''  Let me just start by saying that I don't like Nicki Minaj -- I   love   Nicki Minaj. I have always loved her music, her vibe and her approach…she's in your fucking face. She was a star from the first moment she gave us the one-two punch of her verse on Kanye's “Monster" and her debut album,   Pink Friday . She's appeared on every track that we know and love, and has collaborated with just about everyone cool. Funny fact, an image of Nicki sitting with Anna Wintour at New York Fashion Week (a gift to me from photographer Patrick McMullan) has been a centerpiece of my art collection in my home. Nicki has been on my mind for years. We have never called an issue Break the Internet since we did it back in 2014 with  Kim Kardashian . It takes a certain type of talent, with an awesome fan base and the ability to put trust in PAPER to work our magic. I have always loved all of the looks that Nicki has done (and she has done them all).

As many of you will recall, just two weeks ago, 26 young Nigerian girls lost their lives aboard a Spanish vessel when embarking on one of these illegal trips. This is why, last week, the Senate passed a resolution to investigate the unfortunate incident. At the meeting with the EU, I emphasized that   Africa and Nigeria need to begin to see how best our two continents can work closely together to solve this challenge. This is because how we address the issue of migration will define the future of our two continents — and the Senate and the National Assembly are keen to see what we can do to support and facilitate solutions to this problem.

The President of neighboring South Africa, Jacob Zuma, said 93-year-old Mugabe -- the world's oldest living leader -- was unable to leave his home. Troops were reportedly stationed at the country's parliament and presidential palace. In a dramatic televised statement in the early hours of Wednesday morning, an army spokesman denied that a military takeover was underway. But the situation bore all the hallmarks of a coup: The army was in control of the state TV   in Harare, there was a significant military presence at the international airport, and Mugabe's whereabouts were unknown for hours. The intervention came after weeks of political turmoil, in which Mugabe sacked his powerful   Vice President Emmerson Mnangagwa ,
