Nicki Minaj shades Rihanna at NYFW [cropped]

“No shade, no shade!”

Fresh on the heels of announcing The Pinkprint‘s release date, Nicki Minaj has some other major moves as well. The Young Money starlet has officially signed on to Iman Abdulmajid‘s ‘One Management’ agency, home to big names like Courtney Love and Nicki‘s girl, Cassie. A move like this is typically separate from an artist’s musical endeavors and management, and is more focused on building the celebrity’s name in other areas such as acting and endorsements.

The news came after Nicki was seen posing with the company’s president, Scott Lipps, at a NYFW event…where she was also seen COMPLETELY avoiding her former friend and collaborator, Rihanna.

While one could speculate that the above photo was just poorly timed, it’s glaringly obvious that the pair aren’t exactly chummy, as they’ve both been photographed at many of the same NYFW events in the last week, but have yet to pose together for a photo. Having been so close in prior years and even collaborating on both Nicki’s 2010 album Pink Friday and Rihanna’s LOUD album that same year, it speaks to the fact even more. Do you think there’s some tension there?
