USG looked into booking Nicki Minaj for Springfest this year, but began to explore other options after realizing that the price tag to book the pop star is out of its price range.

However, on Monday, the Mayor Byron Brown announced that he would match his alma-mater dollar for dollar in order to bring Minaj and her popular hip-hop hits like “Anaconda” and “Super Bass” to Buffalo State’s Springfest.

USG President Ashleigh-Ann Sutherland announced Tuesday that with Brown’s help, USG was able to book Minaj for the event.

“I want to thank Byron Brown for all of his help during this. To be honest, I don’t know what even drove him to help us with Springfest so enormously,” Sutherland said. “He even emailed her people and did all the booking himself. He said I don’t have to worry about another thing and that he’s got the whole show planned out.”

“My Anna Conda won’t want none unless you got BUN SON!!! LOL,” Brown said in an email to The Wreckard.
