How did we end up here?????

A big thank you to iHeartRadio, CapitalOne, and Power96.1 for bringing Queen Nicki Minaj and Flo Rida to the same stage!! This was so much fun, and when Mr. Flo Rida took my kid's phone and started videoing............. I died!! He is such a boss! Love having friends in the radio biz. One of the best shows I have ever witnessed....
