Nicki Minaj & Future Reunite On ‘Press Play’ For Yet Another ‘Pink Friday 2 (Gag City Deluxe)’ Collaboration

by

In December, Nicki Minaj dropped her long-awaited album, Pink Friday 2, which went on to set new records for women in rap music. Nicki isn’t in a rush to share any official videos for the album. Instead, she’d rather flood the field with all of the other songs she recorded for it.

On January 13, Minaj unveiled another extended version of the album, namely the Pink Friday 2 (Gag City Pluto Edition). The new release featured the song “Press Play,” yet another collaboration between her and Future after “Nicki Hendrix.”

The pair let loose on “Press Play,” leaning into producer ATL Jacob’s light-hearted energy. Based on Nicki’s verse, she doesn’t believe in throwing away bars, as she took a jab at the Billboard music charts, rapping:

“Set the tone like her vocal coach / They said, ‘Why can’t you be Yoncé?’ / Daddy wasn’t no business man, mama wasn’t no business owner/Mm, what an idiot / You can’t be me, I’m already it / I been saucy, they all wanna skinny dip / I am your label’s obsession, you’s another guinea pig / Top of every list, including your man bucket / Been on the chart so long, I told ‘<a href=”https://uproxx.com/music/nicki-minaj-pink-friday-2-billboard-sales-issue-explained/” target=”_blank” rel=”noopener”>Billboard</a>’ to dust it / These sheep ain’t got the nerve, I heard I done struck it / It ain’t a hate train if you conduct it.”

Listen to Nicki Minaj’s new single “Press Play” featuring Future above.

Yasiin Bey, F.K.A. Mos Def, Thinks Drake Makes Pop Music, Not Hip-Hop

by

Yasiin Bey is a legend within hip-hop, and his decades of experience, knowledge, activism, social consciousness, and skill elevates his standards quite a lot. Moreover, he recently sat down with The Cutting Room Floor and, at one point, was asked by the program’s host whether Drake is hip-hop. Well, you tell me: do you think that the man behind Black Star and Black on Both Sides is a massive fan of the 6ix God? While Bey, formerly and best known as Mos Def, didn’t really diss him here, he did point to the commercial, agreeable, and non-remarkable nature of the game that Drizzy represents, for better or worse.

“Like, is Drake hip-hop?” host Recho asked the MC formerly known as Mos Def. “Why are you doing this to me?” Yasiin Bey replied, and you can tell throughout the whole segment, with some laughs in between, that he’s trying not to go full scorched Earth and be as clear as possible. “Drake is pop to me. In the sense, like, if I was in Target in Houston, and I heard a Drake song. It feels like a lot of his music is compatible with… shopping. Or, as you know, shopping with an edge in certain instances.

“Of course, I get it,” Yasiin Bey continued about Drake. “It’s likable. It’s likable… ‘Wooooo! So many products! So many SKUs! Look at all these SKUs (stock-keeping units, more commonly known as bar codes)! Oh, so many products. I love this mall! Look at this place. I mean, look at this place! They have everything, everything’s here! They have everything here! Oh, this is great. This is the new Drake, do you hear it? It’s great…’

“Okay. What happens when this thing collapses?” he concluded. “What happens when the columns start buckling? Are we not in some early stage of that at this present hour? Are we seeing, like, the collapse of an empire? Buying and selling, where’s the message that I can use? You know, what’s in it for your audience apart from, like, banging the pom-poms?” For more news and the latest updates on Drake and Yasiin Bey, stay up to date on HNHH.

Chris Brown Delivers Raunchy Response To Critic Claiming She Wouldn’t Have His Kids

by

Earlier this week, Chris Brown took to social media to unveil some sweet family photos with his children and their mothers. “The best part of me is MY KIDS [heart emoji],” he captioned the wholesome images. Unfortunately, some users were less than impressed with the performer’s family dynamic, and took to his comments section to let him know.

“Beautiful,” one critic wrote, “But I don’t want a man with multiple baby mamas.” This prompted a pretty straightforward response from Brown, who let her know that he’s not looking. “Who said I was hiring ma’am?” he asked alongside a series of laughing emojis. “You say that like you had a chance.” Now, a different user has gotten yet another shady response from the R&B mainstay, after she claimed to have a leg up on the mothers of his kids.

Chris Brown Puts Shady Commenter On Blast

“Nope I wouldn’t want to be just another baby mama, and yes Chris I’m prettier than both of your baby mamas, so I would have a chance not that,” the bold commenter wrote. Brown was quick to fire back, making it clear that he doesn’t agree. While he appeared to be able to brush off the previous user’s comment, he didn’t hold back this time at all. “YO A** UGLY AS HELL!” he said. “Stop it. I would look through you if I ever seen you. So put a muzzle on it ‘BEAUTIFUL.’” He didn’t stop there, however.

Brown went on to tell the woman that he “wouldn’t get [her] pregnant anyway,” among other unpleasant comments, and to hit up a “pharmacy and refill [her] meds.” What do you think of Chris Brown’s response to a fan claiming that she wouldn’t want to have his kids? Did he cross the line, or was his response warranted? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Cam’ron Wears Jeans With Melyssa Ford’s Face On The Crotch

by

Cam’ron escalated his beef with Melyssa Ford. The It Is What It Is host wore jeans in which Melyssa Ford’s face was prominently displayed on the crotch. The fashion statement came as Jermaine Dupri joined Cam’ron live in studio while Ma$e co-hosted remotely.

The most recent chapter in the beef between Killa and Ford came in December, when Cam’ron went after Joe Budden for defending Ford. “Ohh she’s an expensive escort? How much bro?” Cam’ron wrote over a clip of Budden’s defense. “Looking bad and sad! This wasn’t a wise decision! Move on y’all best bet,” the rapper also wrote as a caption for his post.

Why Are Cam’ron And Melyssa Ford Are Beefing?

Melyssa Ford and Cam’ron have been feuding for several weeks now. It all started when Ford was commented on a wild story that he told on It Is What It Is at the end of November. “Well, we was gangbanging b-tches. I remember one time — don’t let me talk about the past — we was at this whore house, me and Murda. So we left the b-tch out the wh-re house. I had a lil’ stash crib over there between 7th and Lennox and we brought this b-tch over there,” Cam’ron began beside a mortified Ma$e.

However, Killa was far from finished. “Mase was on the way up, he was popping, he didn’t have his deal but it was about to happen. We so Harlem the b-tch sucked — pardon me ladies — sucking his d-ck so I gotta wait to get my d-ck sucked because I’m not hard yet, pause. So when he’s done hitting it I go get head. And he’s hitting it from the back. He started hitting her, ‘You wasn’t sucking my d-ck like that.’ Yeah, that’s my n-gga,” Cam’ron continued After Ford slammed the story, the rapper hit back, threatening to get her deported. He also went after Joe Budden after Budden defended his co-host.

Sexyy Red Shares More Maternity Pics, Slams Folks Trying To Find Baby Daddy

by

Sexyy Red just shared some more maternity pics from her shoot with her baby daddy, who people are scrambling to identify online. While we doubt that we will get an answer to that question anytime soon, we at least have these new snaps showing her one step closer to a new baby. Moreover, the rapper dons a kimono-like dress and eschews her iconic red locks for a jet black-haired look, holding up a fan of cash to cool her down. Overall, it’s been very wholesome to see this phase in her life; she may not be a new mother, but having a child under such a massive celebrity spotlight must feel like something entirely different.

Furthermore, Sexyy Red also recently clapped back at people trying to figure out who her baby daddy is. “Y’all wanna play detective on my good life so bad,” she remarked on her Instagram page. “Like, can y’all worry about them unpaid bills y’all got? That stinky c**chie y’all got, that dirty a** house I know y’all got, ’cause y’all need to go clean up. Go wash your a**, do something productive instead of worrying about me, okay? I don’t understand, like, y’all… it’s just cr*zy. I just wanna know, why y’all wanna know who I’m crackin’ so bad? Why, so y’all can go crack them after me? Is that what’s going on? ‘Cause why y’all wanna know what I got goin’ on? Don’t worry about it. I told y’all. It’s Chief Keef. I don’t wanna hear about it no more. I told y’all, it is what it is.”

Elsewhere, the St. Louis native also commented to Billboard about people assuming all her lyrics are the same. “I just rap about my daily life,” Sexyy Red remarked. “Like, girls that live like me, I just rap about what we up to. And I don’t sit here talking about “c**chie” all day. I don’t understand how that’s the first thing that catch on from everything I done said. I think they hear what they wanna hear. ‘Cause they just start comparing me to all kind of people and say, ‘That’s all she talk about.’ But I be like, ‘So, you didn’t hear me say this?’ Like, why is that the only thing you got from that message? I don’t understand.”

Meanwhile, the 25-year-old is also showing support to other new moms in the pop culture world.
