Nicki Minaj donating $25K to 'Cosby' actor Geoffrey Owens after Trader Joe's 'job-shaming'

Geoffrey Owens will soon be $25,000 richer thanks to rapper Nicki Minaj, who announced Wednesday that she is making a donation to the former "Cosby Show" actor.

The donation comes just a few days following Owens' decision to quit his job at a New Jersey Trader Joe's after he was so-called job-shamed over the weekend.

Minaj made the announcement on her Beats 1 "Queen" radio show.

"That man is now getting so many opportunities," Minaj expressed. "I personally want to donate on behalf of Queen Radio $25,000 to Geoffrey Owens. You know why? Imma tell you something. This man is a whole ... legend in these streets."

"What did you get by taking a picture of that man at the grocery store," she added.

Owens played Elvin Tibideaux, the husband of one of the Huxtable daughters, Sandra, during his time on the "Cosby Show." However, he told the Good Morning America that he hasn't had an acting job that lasted more than 10 weeks since leaving the show.

He worked at the Trader Joe's store for 15 months before photos of him working as a cashier appeared in the Daily Mail and on Fox News, the actor said

Karma Lawrence, the woman who snuck a picture of Owens as she paid for her groceries, told NJ Advance Media she meant no ill will and regrets her decision.

"I don't know why I snuck a picture," said Lawrence, 50. "I figured everybody does it. I don't know what possessed me. I just did it. I didn't even think about it. I just kind of did it on impulse and it was a bad impulse."

Kate Bush, The Dreaming : A Pitchfork Review

#KateBush # WutheringHeights # Lionheart # NeverforEver #TheDreaming In 1982, Kate Bush’s daring and dense fourth album marked her transformation into a fearless experimental artist who was legible, audibly very queer, and very obviously in love with pop music. In 1978, Kate Bush first hit the UK pop charts with “Wuthering Heights” off her romantic, ambitious progressive pop debut The Kick Inside. That same year, her more confident, somewhat disappointing follow-up Lionheart and 1980’s Never for Ever had a grip of charting singles that further grew her UK success without achieving mega-stardom—she barely cracked into American college rock. What is truly amazing between the first chapter of her career and the new one that began with 1982’s The Dreaming is how consistently Bush avoided the musical world around her, preferring to hone and blend her literary, film, and musical inspirations (Elton John, David Bowie, and Pink Floyd) into the idiosyncratic perfection that was 1985’s Ho
