Amid Nicki Minaj and the Barbz’s heated feud with Megan Thee Stallion and her Hotties, countless fans have been calling on Azealia Banks to chime in. The NYC native is known to air her unfiltered opinions on social media, and was sure to have a hot take on the beef. She also has a rocky history with both Nicki and Meg, making it a mystery who she’d be siding with amid the fallout of “Hiss.”
Fortunately for those thirsty for some hot tea, Banks came through with an expectedly harsh read on social media yesterday, making it clear that she’s on Meg’s team. She had quite a bit to say about the “Everybody” MC’s personal life, career, and even her body.
In a new clip, she claims that there’s no doubt that Nicki’s financially “f*cked up,” arguing that her booty is a major giveaway. “You can tell just by whatever keeps happening with Nicki’s butt that she’s f*cked up right now. Because there’s something very f*cking wrong with the butt, and I don’t know what it is. But, I do know that the surgery to get that sh*t out of there is a pretty penny,” Banks says. She continues, claiming that Nicki’s procedure would be especially tough. “That’s a very tedious thing, and it’s also a very risky procedure that she can’t afford to have right now,” she claims.
Unfortunately, Banks was far from finished with Nicki. She went on to call her out for defending her brother, dub her husband Kenneth Petty a “rapist,” and state that she’d feel “st*pid” if she were her right now. What do you think of Azealia Banks trashing Nicki Minaj amid her feud with Megan Thee Stallion? What about her claiming that her booty proves she’s having a tough time financially?

There’s more bad numbers rolling in for Nicki Minaj’s diss track “Big Foot.” She released the song earlier this week as a response to Megan Thee Stallion’s “Hiss” which dropped over the weekend. While Megan’s song doesn’t mention Nicki by name, fans were able to read between the lines and so was she. Her response “Big Foot” does mention Megan by name repeatedly. Despite that, the song was widely rejected by almost everyone. Fans criticized it for having no real punchlines or clever disses and for using some straight-up lies.
Unsurprisingly, the song has suffered commercially as a result of the backlash against it. While it soared to a high debut on the US Spotify charts it’s been slipping every day since. After falling from #23 to #69 in its third day it took an even more substantial tumble in day 4. This week the song has fallen all the way down to #141 on the Spotify chart with just 399,118 streams. The fall down the charts looks even worse in comparison with Megan’s song “Hiss.” It’s spent four straight days at the top of the charts and added an additional 1,867,386 streams yesterday.
“Big Foot” by Nicki Minaj faceplants to #141 on US Spotify, down 72 spots with 399,118 streams.

in the days following “Big Foot” dropping Nicki has continued making controversial statements. One of which came in a tweet where she endorsed Ben Shapiro. The conservative pundit recently made his rap debut on a new Tom MacDonald song “FACTS.” Unsurprisingly, her cosigning of Shapiro and the new song didn’t sit right with her fans.
She made an even worse comment during a twitter spaces with Joe Budden. They were discussing Megan Thee Stallion’s shooting incident with Tory Lanez in 2020. Minaj compared the entire saga to Megan wanting to have her “Rihanna moment” which sparked massive backlash online. What do you think of Nicki Minaj’s Megan Thee Stallion diss track “Big Foot” taking yet another big stumble down the Spotify charts in day 4? Let us know in the comment section below.
Joe Rogan has signed a multi-year extension with Spotify to continue producing The Joe Rogan Experience for the platform. However, the new deal comes with a major change. Gone is the previously implemented distribution exclusivity clause. Spotify and Rogan will now look to also release the highly successful podcast on Apple, Amazon, and YouTuber amongst other platforms.
The details of the contract were not released. However, The Wall Street Journal estimates that the deal is worth somewhere in the region of $250M. His previous deal with Spotify is believed to be have been worth between $100M and $200M. The Joe Rogan Experience is the last Spotify-exclusive podcast on the platform. Call Her Daddy moved to a non-exclusive agreement last week. Meanwhile, a new podcast headed by Trevor Noah launched as a Spotify non-exclusive last year.
Meanwhile, another of Spotify’s (formerly) exclusive talents opened up about one of the darkest portions of her life. Call Her Daddy host and former D1 soccer player Alex Cooper broke her silence about “traumatic experiences” she endured while playing at Boston University during a November Cosmopolitan interview. “With this specific thing, it’s so personal to me and it took such a toll on my mental health. Recently, I reconnected with a lot of the people that I played soccer with who were around when things were happening and it’s been pretty cathartic. I met up with one of my teammates in Santa Monica who I hadn’t seen since we graduated — we didn’t even say hi, we just both started crying. There’s another woman that went through it with me, and we finally saw each other recently and it’s just wild to talk about it together.”
While details are scarce, Cooper has alluded to the “traumatic experience” being at the hands of a coach during her time with the Terriers. Cooper played for the team between 2013 and 2015. However, Cooper said she left the team partway through her senior season in 2016 over the incident. Furthermore, Cooper has said that she intends to fully speak out about the incident on her podcast in the near future.
That Mexican OT is that guy for sure. The Bay City, Texas native is a load of fun on almost every track he puts out.

Now, the “Johnny Dang” hitmaker is back for seconds just a short time later. This time, he brings along a first-time partner in rhyme, DaBaby. “Point Em Out” is another murderous single that sees both MCs on a manhunt of sorts. That is especially telling in the accompanying music video below.

However, it was his unique vision that led him to direct films that would become emblematic of his style. Burton’s breakthrough came with the success of Beetlejuice (1988), which set the stage for a series of iconic films, including Batman (1989) and The Nightmare Before Christmas (1993). Each project showcased Burton’s ability to create fantastical worlds filled with quirky, outcast characters, blending elements of horror, fantasy, and humor in a way that was groundbreaking at the time.

President Joe Biden and Donald Trump do not like each other one bit. Back in 2020, they engaged in a Presidential showdown that Biden eventually won. However, since that time, Trump has continued to denigrate the job Biden has done. Moreover, Trump is leading the Republican primaries right now, and is on track to be the nominee. This would subsequently lead to a rematch later this year. Americans are not excited for this prospect, however, it is all but inevitable.
Now, in new reporting from Politico, Biden’s distaste for Trump was made apparent. In fact, Biden thinks Trump is someone who loves to see people suffer. “The president has described Trump to longtime friends and close aides as a ‘sick f*ck’ who delights in others’ misfortunes, according to three people who have heard the president use the profane description,” Politico reported. “According to one of the people who has spoken with the president, Biden recently said of Trump: “’What a f*cking asshole the guy is.’”

An advisor for Trump, Chris LaCivita, had some strong words of his own for Biden, in response. “It’s a shame that Crooked Joe Biden disrespects the presidency both publicly and privately,” he said. “But then again, it’s no surprise he disrespects the 45th president the same way he disrespects the American people with his failed policies.” All things considered, a truly negative presidential election is being set up right now.

And these n***as ain’t never seen no real money, right?”
Back in 2019, he also detailed how the song came to life in an interview with The Fader. According to him, he had to get out of his comfort zone to come up with some of the lyrics, which ultimately proved to be successful. “One day I was in the studio with my best friend Earl and he played the beat and said, ‘Write something for City Girls,’ and I was like, ‘Okay.’ And I just did it,” he described.
“I know them personally, and I know what women like to hear. What’s some, like, raunchy sh*t? I just started saying it, and before I went in the booth I said, ‘No homo, y’all’ because all my boys was in the room… I always wanted to write for somebody, and when I did, and it blew up, it felt so good.” What do you think of Lil Yachty writing “Act Up” for City Girls?
