Nicki Minaj Revealed What Her Boob Size Was Before Breast Reduction Surgery In A Titillating Chat With JT
Nicki Minaj fully embraces her curvy figure throughout her music with witty bars. In her 2014 song “Only” off her The Pinkprint album, for example, she rapped, “Hut-hut one, hut-hut two / Big titties, big butt, too.” But recently, the musician decided to undergo breast reduction surgery to alleviate the strain on her small frame.
During an Instagram Live stream with JT of City Girls, the entertainer had a girl chat with her “Super Freaky Girl (Queen Mix)” collaborator. One of the topics discussed but the broadcast was Minaj’s decision to go down a few cup sizes.
“It’s no way your boobs right now are still able to look like that and be all sexy and cute and stuff like that in your dresses,” Minaj said. “Trust me. You did not have the size that I had.”
The rapper continued, “If tell you the size… Do you wanna hear the size that they were? Oh, triple E. So, trust me, boo boo. You didn’t have the kind I had because you would have been doing the same thing I did.”

Back on June 13, Minaj shared with fans that her breasts ballooned beyond what she expected after her pregnancy. “If their purpose were to feed the baby. Now the baby is fed,” she said.” Now technically, in the eyes of god, in the eyes of man. I can do whatever I want with my titties.”
DJ Khaled Got His Hands On Drake’s Upcoming Poetry Book Which He Said Is A ‘Sentence’ At Best
If you haven’t heard, Drake’s a published author now. Drake released a poetry book titled Titles Ruin Everything: A Stream Of Consciousness By Kenza Samir & Aubrey Graham over the weekend after giving fans less than 24 hours notice. Drake also reportedly took out a newspaper ad in the New York Post teasing a companion album for the book.
One person who had no trouble getting his hands on the collection was DJ Khaled, who naturally posted his “unboxing” of the gift from Drake on Instagram. Pulling out the book, accompanied by a personal note, he read several passages to the camera, revealing a Rupi Kaur-esque commitment to minimalism. Drake’s words read like mantras or kōan, with a simple statement on each left page and an answering one on its mirror. Khaled calls them “keys” but seems bemused by the simplicity of the construction, repeatedly cracking, “The man wrote a book!” At one point, he even notes, “He wrote a sentence!”
Khaled wasn’t the only one baffled by Drake’s doings this past weekend. On Sunday, he was awarded the key to Memphis, his second home, leaving some fans frustrated — after all, despite all of Drake’s love for Bluff City, he still largely resides in his hometown, Toronto, when he’s not in Los Angeles, where he also has a home. He also co-signed Toronto’s NBA team’s newest pickup; after Raptors draft pick Gradey Dick gushed about wanting to be friends with Drake, the team’s official ambassador graced the rookie with a follow on Instagram.
Juelz Santana Says He’s Not A Fan Of Kobe Bryant
Juelz Santana is a rapper with almost three decades of experience under his belt. That means he’s seen a lot of NBA basketball go down over the years. Entire generations of basketball greats, with front-row seats to some of the hottest names in the sport. And through all of that, Juelz has one thing to say: He wasn’t a fan of Kobe Bryant. As shocking as that claim might be, it makes way more sense when Juelz Santana provides context to the statement.
Despite the lack of love coming from Juelz, he says that the LA Laker legend “demanded my respect.” “You couldn’t hate on him. No matter what,” Juelz said in a brief conversation with sportswriter Brandon “Scoop B” Robinson. The NBA Insider at Bally Sports Network also relayed that Juelz was a big Michael Jordan fan back when he was dominating the league. Santana further explains that people treated MJ like how he treated Kobe. They were both guys people didn’t like, but those people couldn’t say anything bad about them due to their greatness.

Why Juelz Santana Didn’t Like Kobe Bryant
Juelz Santana was not a huge Kobe Bryant fan because everybody at the time was claiming that Kobe was better than MJ. Being the big supporter of Jordan that he was, this common belief did not sit well. “[Everybody] always said he was better than Jordan,” said Santana, via Robinson, “so that was my whole dilemma with not being a Kobe fan.” Again, he did not knock the sheer impressiveness of the Black Mamba in his heyday. He doesn’t have a bad thing to say about Kobe, he just has to defend his day one guy, the guy who Kobe looked up to all his life.
Other than the miscellaneous pop culture drama, Juelz Santana is currently working on his latest album, We In Motion. The album reportedly has numerous collaborations, and he teased the tracklist a few months ago. However, he’s been teasing this album for about half a year, with delays crushing the excitement. His interview with Scoop B might help raise the buzz once more, especially with hot takes like not being a Kobe fan.

Joe Budden Prefers Gunna’s New Album To Lil Durk’s And Young Thug’s
In the wake of Gunna’s reported snitching many beefs, or supposed beefs have sparked up. One way that fans have pledged their allegiances and tried to keep score is by comparing the various artist’s new projects. Earlier this year Lil Durk dropped his new album Almost Healed. The record went on to have the biggest debut for a rap album in 2023. Two weeks ago Gunna dropped his own new album a Gift & a Curse which just debuted at #3 on the Billboard 200. Just over the past weekend Young Thug dropped his album Business Is Business while still in police custody.
Many fans had their own thoughts on which album was the best, including Joe Budden. “They can’t trick me with their little rap conditioning and rap ideologies, f*ck outta here. That Gunna shit sound good,” Budden said. The “trick” seems to be referring to many fans claiming Gunna’s music is bad or that they won’t listen to it simply because he took a plea deal in the ongoing YSL RICO case. Joe Budden went even further saying that Gunna had the best album of the trio. “It’s better than all of them with no features and no Metro Boomin, with no help and no support. He did it!”
Joe Budden Weighs In On Gunna’s Album
This isn’t the only beef Joe Budden has weighed into recently. On an episode of his podcast featuring Jim Jones, the rapper called out Clipse’s rappers Pusha T and No Malice. The beef originally dates back to Jones claiming that Pusha T didn’t belong on a recent list of the Top 50 Rappers of all time. Pusha T escalated the conflict with lyrics directed at Jones from a song he debuted during Pharrell’s recent Louis Vuitton fashion show.
In a recent video Gunna posted to his Instagram story he thanked fans for the success of his new album. The video highlighted the record’s streaming numbers and chart debuts. It also pointed out that Gunna had the highest first-week sales for an album with no features since 2021. What do you think of Joe Budden’s take on Gunna’s new album? Let us know in the comment section below.

Yeat Blesses Fans With New Snippets: Listen
Yeat is an artist that a lot of folks are still skeptical about. Overall, it is understandable as to why this is the case. After all, he only came onto the scene a couple of years ago with a viral hit. “Sorry Bout That” is the song that made people know who Yeat is. With his peculiar fashion choices and unique flow, many were intrigued. However, despite a plethora of albums under his belt at this point, he still remains somewhat underground. Perhaps it is best to say he enjoys a nice middle ground. Too big to be underground but also not popular enough to be mainstream.
Soon, Yeat will be dropping a brand-new album. He came out with Afterlyfe at the start of the year. Subsequently, he has been blessing his fans with all sorts of new snippets and teasers. As we have reported, some of these teasers have been fairly interesting and experimental. That said, fans are interested to see what the direction of this new album would be. After all, Yeat has mostly kept his style the same, except for a few tracks here and there.

Vanessa Bryant Wins Kobe-Body Armor Lawsuit
Vanessa Bryant has been through so much over the last few years. Of course, the hardest part was losing her husband and daughter in a helicopter crash in early 2020. However, since then, Bryant has been a light for those who have lost loved ones, as she carries the legacies of Kobe and Gigi. But, Bryant has been dealing with a massive lawsuit between her late husband and the Body Armor drink brand. It was reported on Tuesday that the massive lawsuit had finally finished up, with the Bryant family winning the legal battle.
According to TMZ, the lawsuit started when the president of Kobe Inc., Molly Carter, claimed that Bryant promised 2% of his Body Armor shares to her. Bryant vehemently denied the accusation, claiming he never made such a promise. After Kobe’s passing, Vanessa was called on to defend the Bryant name in this nasty legal battle. During the hearing, it was revealed that Carter used racially charged talk when discussing the Bryant family in regard to the legal issue.

Vanessa Bryant Defends Family Name In Legal Victory
According to the article, “The case went to arbitration, and Vanessa prevailed on both the lawsuit and her counterclaim and was awarded more than $1.5 mil in attorney’s fees.” No matter the financial amount, this win is more than just a legal victory. Bryant defended her husband’s honor by fighting this injustice against his character. Another reason for Kobe fans to appreciate what Vanessas has fought for since Kobe’s passing.
Kobe’s legacy will live on forever. His name will be etched into the stone and the history of the NBA. His body of work on the court as well as off the court, should be highly praised. But it’s time to celebrate Vanessa in that same way. Bryant has continued to share the stories of her late husband and daughter. All while helping others in the process. The Bryant legacy will forever be intact as Vanessa continues to grow the Bryant legacy on her own path. For the latest news in sports, keep it right here with HNHH.

Nicki Minaj Sports Chanel And Promotes New Song In IG Video
One thing rap fans can’t stop talking about recently is Young Thug, and Nicki Minaj is no different. Thugger’s new album Business Is Business dropped over the weekend, his first since being arrested last year. Just yesterday a special version of the new album was released. It was called Metro’s Version after producer Metro Boomin. In the tracklist of Metro’s Version, there’s a new song called “Money” which features Juice Wrld and Nicki Minaj alongside Young Thug. Thugger and Nicki have collaborated before, most notably on the Young Thug track “Anybody.”
In a new video on Nicki Minaj’s Instagram, she shows off her Chanel fit and Barbie chain while promoting the song. The short and sweet video shows the rapper lip-syncing to her own “Money” lyrics on the couch. The comments are full of fans showing love for both Nicki and the song itself. The caption reads much like you’d expect for a promo post. “#MONEY 
THUG X JUICE WRLD X BARBIE,” it says.
Nicki Minaj Talks Thugger’s Importance

Nicki Minaj recently went on Instagram live to talk about about how the track came to be and what working with Juice Wrld and Young Thug was like. She also invited City Girls rapper JT onto the live. JT has been dealing with the fallout from a viral fight she had with partner Lil Uzi Vert during the BET Awards. Unfortunately, she didn’t touch on the subject at all during her appearance in the live.
Last week Nicki Minaj dropped her new single “Barbie World.” The song also features Ice Spice and the original “Barbie Girl” hitmakers Aqua. It’s set to appear on the soundtrack for Greta Gerwig’s upcoming new Barbie movie next month. It’s her second collaboration with Ice Spice this year after appearing on a remix of her song “Princess Diana.” She’s also collaborated with artists like Kim Petras, NBA Youngboy, and Sexyy Red. What do you think of Nicki Minaj’s thoughts on Young Thug’s influence? Let us know in the comment section below.

Cam’ron Reacts To Being Mentioned On “First Things First”
Cam’ron’s sports podcast has quickly garnered the attention of many. Whether it be from his jokes involving the latest drama with Zion Williamson. Or his wild comparison of Scottie Pippen to O.J. Simpson, sports fans are listening. Although the show likes to have a little fun, Cam’ron and Mase are educated in the world of sports. Including knowing some NBA players personally. Which is why it should be no surprise to hear them discussing the major storylines in the league.
However, it now seems the co-host of ‘It Is What It Is‘ is having a little fun at the big network’s expense. On a recent episode of ‘First Things First‘ Nick Wright and Chris Broussard debate the addition of Chris Paul to the Golden State Warriors. Paul was shipped out of Phoenix for Washington star Bradley Beal. While Paul’s first stop was with the Wizards, the veteran guard ultimately ended up in Golden State. Broussard and Wright were discussing what Paul’s addition would do to the morale of the team.

Cam’ron Takes Fun Jab At Sports Talk Show
On his official Instagram account, Cam’ron shared a clip of the segment involving Wright and Broussard’s discussion. When Wright mentioned what I heard on Cam’ron’s show about the team chemistry of the Warriors, Broussard laughed it off. Cam’ron wrote this in the caption of his post, “Yo @chrisbroussard68 what’s so funny? U laughing but then agree with what we said. U know these players are my friends right? @getnickwright seems to know. If y’all need us up there just holla. We’ll give you a couple inside scoops…MAYBE. Lol. Just messing wit ya bro. All love.”
It seems as if Cam’ron is having a little fun with the show’s hosts. However, at the same time, the music icon is looking for respect for his own show. Giving credit where it s due in the sports world can be hard to come by. However, Cam’ron and Mase have created a fun environment for sports talk and obviously have a large following to go along with it. So, getting to the main topic at hand, will Chris Paul gel with the Warriors? Let us know in the comment section. For the latest news in sports, keep it right here with HNHH.
