It was a weekend for Nicki Minaj. On Saturday, May 25, Minaj live-posted her chaotic arrest at an Amsterdam airport during her Pink Friday 2 World Tour. According to The Associated Press, Netherlands police “discovered marijuana in her bags as she was preparing to leave the country.”

Minaj was released later that night, as reported by various reputable outlets, after “sitting in a jail cell for five-to-six hours,” according to Minaj. The debacle forced Minaj to postpone her scheduled May 25 Pink Friday 2 World Tour concert in Manchester, England. (Minaj also had a pre-existing May 30 Manchester show on her tour.)

“OK guys, I was JUST RE-ADVISED that we actually CAN NOT do any other date for the make up #gagcityMANCHESTER date besides JUNE 3rd,” Minaj wrote on X (formerly Twitter) on Monday, May 27. “So JUNE 3rd is the new official date for all ticket holders who originally had tickets to the MAY 25th #Manchester show. I apologize for all the inconvenience this has caused. I really hope you can make the #JUNE3rd show. It’ll be really special. Ticketmaster will contact you to advise officially. #GAGCITY Love you.”

Minaj was able to perform as scheduled in Birmingham, England, on Sunday, May 26, and she will hit up London’s famed The O2 on May 28, Glasgow on May 29, Manchester on May 30, Paris on June 1, and Amsterdam on June 2, before looping back to make up her May 25 Manchester date on June 3.

While the Drake and Kendrick Lamar beef is primarily focused on those two rappers, others, like Metro Boomin, have gotten involved as well. Things have mostly died down in terms of the feud, and now Metro was even joking about it on a recent Instagram Live broadcast from 21 Savage.

21 Savage hopped on Instagram Live over the weekend, and at one point, he added Metro to the broadcast, as HipHopDX notes. However, Metro jokingly called 21 “OVO Savage” in the comments section, also joking, “I JUS KNOW U GOT A OWL TRAMP STAMP.”

After realizing what happened, 21 booted Metro from the broadcast and said, “Oh, you was talking sh*t, b*tch? Get off my Live. […] I’m finna block this n****.” He then quoted Drake’s “Push Ups” and yelled, “Metro, shut your ho-ass up and make some drums, n****.”

21 is of course caught in the middle of the Drake and Kendrick Lamar feud: Metro is on Kendrick’s side, while 21 has a relationship with both Drake and Metro. In a different Live session from earlier this month, 21 said, “Don’t keep coming on to my motherf*cking Live talking about no motherf*cking beef. Metro my brother and Drake my brother. Those n****s going to figure that sh*t out eventually.”

Karlissa Saffold Reacts After Kaliwae Throws Down On “Baddies,” Tia Kemp Chimes In

by

Karlissa Saffold has had an interesting few months. Overall, her son Blueface is currently in jail why his newborn child is in the care of Chrisean Rock. Moreover, Rock won’t let Saffold go near the child, which has created a ton of friction from within the family. On top of all of this, Saffold’s daughter Kaliwae is currently on the Zeus Network show Baddies. This is a show known for its scripted and over-the-top drama. While many parents would be side-eyeing their child’s inclusion on the show, Saffold has been loving it.

Last night, Kaliwae had her big moment on the show as she got to fight on the beach. As you can see in some of the carousel clips down below, she won her fight with quite a bit of ease. This subsequently led to a passionate video for Saffold in which she praised her daughter for taking the win. Moreover, she noted that a lot of people were talking smack on her daughter and didn’t believe in her abilities. Seeing as though she came away with a win, Saffold couldn’t help but gloat.

Diddy’s Sean John Eyeglasses Brand Dropped By Major Retailer

by

It’s been a difficult year for Diddy, one that’s led many people and brands to cut ties with him entirely. Even for those that have been completely silent or even defenders of the legendary rap figure they recently hit a point of no return. That came earlier this month when CNN leaked a video of hotel security footage. In the clip the rap mogul appears to assault Cassie in full view of the camera, something she first accused him of in a lawsuit last year. In fact, her lawsuit served as the beginning of the recent series of trouble for Diddy.

While many have focused on the social repercussions he’s faced from various members of the music industry he’s collaborated with in the past decades, that isn’t all he’s dealing with. There’s also been a consistent undertone of business connections deteriorating, something he’s once again facing today. According to TMZ one of the major retailers for glasses, America’s Best Contacts & Eyeglasses is severing their ties with him. A representative for the company confirmed that they will no longer be carrying glasses from Diddy’s Sean John brand. Check out the full statement they gave below.

Diddy Suffers Another Business Loss

The consequences have been coming fast for Diddy in recent weeks. A push had been made recently for his star on the Hollywood Walk Of Fame to be removed. But over the weekend an insider alleged that his star can’t actually be removed. Fellow celebrities have reacted to the video and his subsequently maligned apology by unfollowing him on social media. LeBron James and Yung Miami are two of the most relevant celebs to unfollow the rap mogul on Instagram recently. While all of this has been going on he’s still subject to an ongoing investigation by the federal government into allegations of sex trafficking.

What do you think of Diddy suffering further business consequences as a result of the leaked video of him allegedly assaulting Cassie? Do you think he’ll ultimately face any legal consequences as a result of his actions? Let us know in the comment section below.

Despite the confidence, fans in the comments section weren’t as sure she would win. “Right it’s a difference lol.. because Meg just sold out MSG and what are you doing?” one user remarked. Another added: “She can honestly rap, I like erica. but she walked in the industry being messy & still is. Even after she went through almost the same thing megan did with 1501. At least Build your fanbase before you try & come for someone who’s on a Larger scale.” Check out Banks’ full comments on the idea below.

Bill Walton Passes Away From Cancer At 71

by

Multiple sources state that Bill Walton, a former NBA MVP and Hall of Famer who went on to become one of the game’s great commentators, has passed away from cancer. Walton was 71 years old. Before being chosen first overall in the 1974 NBA Draft, Walton was a standout player at UCLA under John Wooden. He played for the Trail Blazers, Clippers, and Celtics for ten seasons, missing five due to foot problems. If not for his health problems, Walton’s career might have placed him among the top echelon of Basketball players. Walton passed away on Monday, the NBA said in a statement, surrounded by his loved ones.

“Bill Walton was truly one of a kind,” NBA commissioner Adam Silver said in a statement. “As a Hall of Fame player, he redefined the center position. His unique all-around skills made him a dominant force at UCLA and led to an NBA regular-season and Finals MVP, two NBA championships and a spot on the NBA’s 50th and 75th Anniversary Teams.” The NBA commish added, “Bill then translated his infectious enthusiasm and love for the game to broadcasting, where he delivered insightful and colorful commentary which entertained generations of basketball fans.”

Bill Walton Passed Away From Cancer At 71

Prior to switching to college basketball in 2012, Walton worked as a main analyst for NBA games for ESPN and ABC when he first started there in 2002. In 2009, the American Sportscasters Association listed him among the best 50 sportscasters of all time. Additionally, he also worked for CBS and NBC. The 6-foot-11 Walton, selected first overall by the Portland Trail Blazers in the 1974 NBA draft, spent ten seasons in the league, winning titles with both the Blazers (1977) and the Boston Celtics (1986). Over his career, he recorded 6,215 points (13.3 per game), 4,923 rebounds (10.5 per game), 1,034 blocks (2.2 per game), and 1,590 assists, all of which contributed to his double-double average. Additionally, Walton was a two-time All-Star who finished first in the NBA in blocks and rebounds in 1977. In 1986, he was named Sixth Man of the Year.

“What I will remember most about him was his zest for life,” Adam Silver said in his statement. “He was a regular presence at league events — always upbeat, smiling ear to ear and looking to share his wisdom and warmth. I treasured our close friendship, envied his boundless energy and admired the time he took with every person he encountered.” He concluded his statement by saying, “As a cherished member of the NBA family for 50 years, Bill will be deeply missed by all those who came to know and love him.” Overall, it is a sad day for the NBA as it grieves one of its seminal figures in Walton.

Why Amber Rose Is Getting Hate For Supporting Trump 2024

by

Amber Rose has recently come under hot water due to her recent endorsement of Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential election. This endorsement marks a significant departure from her previous criticisms of Trump. Furthermore, it has sparked a heated response from her followers and the public. Known for her strong advocacy for women’s rights and anti-racism, people have found it shocking that Amber would support a man who goes against everything she has been fighting for. She’s not backing down, however, and has continued to defend her choice to support Trump.

A post shared by Amber Rose (@amberrose)

On May 20, 2024, Amber Rose posted a photo on Instagram with former President Donald Trump and his wife Melania Trump, captioning it: “Trump 2024, along with three US flag emojis.” The photo immediately prompted backlash. Critics of the photo and Rose’s stand were quick to point out the apparent hypocrisy, especially given Trump’s history with women’s rights and issues related to racism. They also pointed out that Trump had a history of misogynistic statements and policies that have been harmful to the causes she claims to support.

Not to mention, Amber Rose herself has criticized Trump in the past. In a 2016 interview with The Cut, she labeled Trump an “idiot.” Moreover, she stated that she had hoped he would not be president. “He’s a f*cking idiot,” she said. “He’s so weird. I really hope he’s not president.” Similarly, some of Amber Rose’s tweets, where she was criticizing Trump, have resurfaced. In these tweets, she also likened Trump to trash and called him a sexual predator. This past condemnation makes her recent endorsement even more perplexing to many of her fans. 

What Amber Rose Stands For

Amber Rose is quite known for her advocacy for certain causes. These include: feminism and women’s rights, as well as the LGBTQ+ community, and anti-racism. She has organized numerous “SlutWalk” marches, which have helped raise awareness on ending rape culture. She has also been a vocal advocate for racial equality. As a mixed-race and bisexual woman, Amber has stood for these causes throughout the years. So what’s changed all of a sudden?

Following Amber Rose’s post, fans and critics have highlighted that Trump stands against everything she has worked for. Some fans noted Trump’s involvement in appointing Supreme Court justices who contributed to the overturning of Roe v. Wade, a landmark decision that protected women’s reproductive rights. This decision has been seen as a significant setback for women’s rights in the U.S. Former President Donald Trump has also garnered significant support within predominantly white and conservative Christian communities. Additionally, he has a history of racially insensitive remarks and policies that are harmful to BIPOC Americans.

Backlash Following Amber Rose’s Sudden Support Of Trump

Notably, Trump has also been accused of sexual misconduct by multiple women, and Amber Rose is well aware of this. After all, she has also labeled him a sexual predator. Therefore, her outright support for him is even more controversial. Many have expressed disappointment and disbelief, with some suggesting that her endorsement undermines her previous work, as well as her public stance on women’s issues.

Response To The Backlash

In response to the backlash, Amber Rose commented under a post from The Shade Room. She argued that people should do their research, and suggested that Trump offers a more reasonable stance on certain issues, compared to other political figures. She also defended her position by claiming she would always put women first. “Lmaooo yall think Biden cares about black ppl??? Sad. Do ur research. I did. I’ll ALWAYS put women first… Trump supports the most reasonable compromise on abortion. Stop being brainwashed cuz WE’RE ppl of color. Make your own decisions.”

Her response has only fanned the flames of criticism even more. In response to the claims that Trump is anti-LGBTQ, Amber Rose posted a 1998 video of Trump claiming to be “all for guys that like men.” However, this has continued to rake in more criticism. Amber Rose is being accused of grasping at straws, especially since Trump has been vocally against most, if not all of what she stands for.
