Nicki Minaj is now announcing her recently teased March 2026 album is being scrapped --and she claims it’s ALL Jay-Z’s fault!!!

On Wednesday, the Barbz were sent into a fury when Nicki directed the blame at the Roc Nation boss’ rarely used X account -- “Ok, I’m not going to put out the album anymore. No more music. Hope you’re happy now [Jay-Z].”

Nicki then took the opportunity to roast Jay about his failed casino bid while offering up another claim -- that Roc Nation offered a make-good with an album and tour package deal.

Luigi Mangione is livin' large in the pokey ... because TMZ has learned he's got a whopping $40,000 in his commissary — and it's all thanks to his gazillion fans!

The alleged murderer of UnitedHealthcare CEO Brian Thompson is so beloved by his supporters that they funnel lotsa cash into his coffers at Metropolitan Detention Center in Brooklyn, New York, according to a recently released jailhouse source whose information we corroborated.

And get this ... Luigi can spend the money on some cheap goodies such as Nutella Hazelnut spread for just $4.90, summer sausage for a mere $2.10, or some oatmeal for just $3.65. If Luigi wants something spicy, he can splurge on jalapeno wheels for $3.20 and, if he has a hankering for a block of Velveeta cheese, he can shell out $3.70. Bottom line is Luigi's got much more money than he can spend -- but he has a cap of $160 per visit to the commissary.

Kim Kardashian might not quite be the 'Six Million Dollar Man' ... but, she's getting up there -- admitting she might even spend $1 million a year on glam products.

Alex Jones' control over InfoWars might end up becoming a thing of the past ... because the U.S. Supreme Court just rejected his appeal to avoid paying more than $1.4 billion in damages to the families affected by the 2012 Sandy Hook Elementary School shooting.

Here's what went down ... Jones has made many comments about the Sandy Hook shooting -- in which 20 children and six adults were killed in a mass shooting at a Connecticut school -- and court papers show he's declared the tragic incident was a "staged event" more than once.

The right-wing media figure was subsequently sued by the victims' families in Connecticut state court for defamation and other violations.

Jones -- who owns InfoWars through his company Free Speech Systems -- was found liable for damages in 2021, and he was ordered to pay more than $1.4 billion the following year, according to CBS News. He's currently looking for bankruptcy protection.

One more thing ... the higher-ups at the satirical news site The Onion won the bid to acquire InfoWars in a bankruptcy auction, but a federal judge in Texas blocked the sale last year. A bankruptcy court rejected a second attempt in February this year.
