Nicki Minaj Discusses Her Feelings During Her Arrest In Amsterdam

by

Nicki Minaj has had many eventful weeks so far in 2024. The first was when she found herself embroiled in a beef with Megan Thee Stallion. Meg threw out a diss aimed at Nicki’s husband on her song “HISS.” Minaj responded by manically retweeting her fans posts online constantly for multiple days and eventually dropping her own response track “Big Foot.” Since February, she’s made weekly news for the stops on her Pink Friday 2 tour which have often featured attention-grabbing surprise guests.

But this week may have been her most eventful in a long time. It started over the weekend when Nicki was arrested in Amsterdam for alleged drug charges. Videos of her interactions with police in the country made the rounds online as her fans took issue with her treatment. Once Minaj was released she was even more critical of the police’s behavior on social media. She was released from custody a few hours later and given a fine. She even went as far as to claim that the arrest was racially motivated and cited an incident with Ari Lennox as another example. Check out her newest statement discussing the arrest below.

In her most recent statement addressing her recent arrest, Nicki discussed having to cancel her Manchester stop because of the arrest. She claims she can’t remember the last time she felt “that low.” Thankfully for Nicki and her fans in Manchester it didn’t take long for a rescheduled tour date to emerge. Just two days after she was arrested she had another show booked to make up for the canceled date. She also recently announced a second North American leg of the tour for later this year.

What do you think of Nicki Minaj’s newest reflection on her recent arrest in Amsterdam that forced her to cancel one of her tour stops? Do you agree with her that there was a racially motivated element to her arrest? Let us know in the comment section below.

Jason Kelce’s Wife Gets In Heated Confrontation With Rude Fan

by

A rude fan disrupted Jason Kelce and his wife Kylie’s ostensibly low-key date night. The Philadelphia Eagles legend’s wife was forced to confront a woman in a heated discussion. A short video of the exchange was recorded and shared on social media, with the Philadelphia podcast “Word to the Wise” stating that the married couple was just going about their lives when they were approached outside Steve & Cookies in New Jersey by someone who wanted to take their photo.

The publication quoted many witnesses who are certain that Kelces denied the photo opportunity gently. Nevertheless, the woman didn’t take it lightly and came over to them, ranting. In the video, Kylie and the lady are seen arguing just inches away from one other’s faces until a man tries to break them up by stepping in between them. Jason, on the other hand, is seen watching intently from a distance of several feet. Judging from Jason’s reaction, he is more than confident that his wife can take care of herself. He might have caught her wrath if he tried to break them up sooner. Kylie Kelce is clearly not one to mess with when she and her husband are out on the town.

The woman seems to have mentioned at one time that the Kelces would never be welcomed to return to the region because of the incident. Kylie fired back, saying what sounded like, “I can smell the alcohol on your breath, you’re embarrassing yourself,” although some viewers believe she simply said, “Save your breath, you’re embarrassing yourself.” Although Jason Kelce and Kylie Kelce have not yet made a public statement about the event, it may not be long before we hear their side of the story, given how rapidly the video is becoming viral on social media.

During the summer, the Kelces frequently visit Margate City and Sea Isle City. Several reports say that they were amenable to requests for pictures on the beach on the weekend. After over a decade of dating, Jason and Kylie Kelce tied the knot in 2018. Together, the two have three daughters. Jason Kelce recently announced his retirement from the NFL after 13 seasons with the Philidelphia Eagles.

Camila Cabello’s upcoming album C, XOXO is now just a month away, as it’s set to drop at the end of June. As Cabello reveals in a new Billboard interview, the project should please Drake fans.

Cabello revealed that she and Drake were spotted in those much-discussed vacation photos because they were finishing a track together. She also divulged that she first reached out to Drake via Instagram DMs, saying, “He’s the f*cking GOAT, so it felt like shooting for the stars. I showed him the album when I felt comfortable enough and he really liked it. [The feature] came out of a non-transactional place. He had this idea of a song called ‘Hot Uptown,’ and it just felt like I was in the city. I was in Miami.”

Billboard describes the song as a “flirtatious, Caribbean-infused track.” It turns out the song isn’t only Drake’s appearance on the album, as he sings on the near-two-minute interlude “Uuugly” that immediately follows. Calvin Harris says the track was Drake’s idea, saying, “He wanted to do one more thing for the album.”

Cabello added, “Why does he have his own song? Because selfishly, I just want to hear Drake on my own album [laughs]. I love that for me — it’s like that rebellious mood. Who says I can’t do that? It’s Drake talking his sh*t.”

C, XOXO is out 6/28 via Geffen/Interscope. Find more information here.

Andre 3000 Gets Emotional Paying Tribute To Rico Wade During Atlanta Jazz Festival

by

Andre 3000 paid tribute to his longtime collaborator Rico Wade during a performance at the Atlanta Jazz Festival. His late friend passed away at the age of 52 from heart failure, earlier this year. Speaking about their relationship, the Outkast rapper explained the influence Wade had on both his personal life and his music career.

“The last time we were here, we did a residency about five, six shows, and Rico Wade showed up,” he said to the crowd. “Now, one thing y’all don’t know about Rico, Rico Wade…” From there, he got emotional and had to compose himself. “Sorry, y’all. Rico Wade… So Rico Wade made sure my raps were tight. There were times where I would say a rap to Rico in his ears, and he would walk off like, ‘That ain’t good enough.’ So just for a moment, I want y’all to make some noise for King Rico.”

“Dungeon Family all day,” he added. “I wouldn’t be here on this stage or able to do any of this. I wouldn’t have the confidence to do any of this if it weren’t for Dungeon Family. They raised me. My family taught me how to dream. Taught me how to dream and go for it. Big Boi taught me how to dream, get at it, and go for it. The Dungeon was the grounds for a lot of things. Our entire thing was to keep pushing, keep stretching out.” The group came together for a cookout in honor of Wade over Memorial Day weekend. Check out his full comments at the festival below.
