Hoop star Metta World Peace is dumb hype about being name-dropped by Nicki Minaj on her song "Trini Dem Girls" off The Pinkprint. So hype, he might need an Ambien after admitting he was losing sleep over the line. The man formerly known as Ron Artest took to Twitter this morning, presumably after a wide-eyed night of tossing and turning, to announce just how psyched he is about hearing the rap star mention his name. "Honestly, I can't sleep because the hottest female rapper put me in her song. I bragged to my girlfriend about it. Lol. Ok . Goodnight," he posted.

Hopefully after the adrenaline wore off the Queens native was able to get some rest.
