She’s earned herself her first set of BET Award nominations, but not everyone is happy for Coi Leray. The buzzing artist is up for Best Female Hip Hop Artist and Best New Artist, and when she took to social media to celebrate, she faced off with critics. Around the same time, Yung Bleu was over on Instagram airing out his grievances because he felt that he should have been recognized this go-’round. The pair of performers got their wires crossed and soon, Coi was calling out her critics and Bleu believed she was addressing him.

After a few back and forths, Coi set the record straight. “BLEU.. I’m not talking about you,” Leray tweeted. “That tweet was strictly for the troll ass people I deal with.”

“You one of the most talented people I met and I’ll never come on any social platform and disrespect you, I love you as a person and an artist regardless of anything!” Bleu reposted the tweet and before deleting it, he shared a lengthy caption where he returned praise to Leray.

“I apologize . U a sweet person and we always embraced each other since day 1,” Bleu replied. “My post def wasn’t a diss to u or your accomplishments u talented as hell ! ! Both of us got much more to come u like my LIl cry baby sister we always fighting Lol ! It’s was a big lack of communication none but positive vibes tho I wanna see you have more success. Dnt let nobody tell u different hommie.”

Both Bleu and Leray are being praised for handling the situation maturely and not turning it into some weird social media beef. Check it out below.

Tim Tebow has returned to the NFL and now, he is trying to be a tight end. As a member of the Jacksonville Jaguars, Tebow is looking to make the final 52-man roster, and for now, there are 90 players in training camp. Tebow has a lot working against him, including his age and the fact that he has never actually played tight end before. Regardless, Jaguars head coach Urban Meyer believes in Tebow and he wouldn’t give him this opportunity if he didn’t think he could make the team.

Recently, Meyer was asked about Tebow’s progress throughout training camp and how he has looked so far. As Meyer explained, Tebow is improving every day although, at first, he was a bit awkward in his new role.

“I wouldn’t say weird. Awkward, maybe, the first practice, but he’s one of 90 trying to make the team. He has improved, it’s all new for him,” Meyer said. “Tyler Bowen is doing a good job with our tight ends as a whole. O’Shaughnessy and Ellefson in particular, if you watch a video last year and watch practice now, it’s night and day. Those guys have really improved and the position is trending upward. They’re doing a nice job.”

Meyer and Tebow had a relationship dating back to their time at Florida, so it wouldn’t be surprising if Meyer lets him make the final roster. Regardless of what happens, Tebow has put a lot of eyes on the Jaguars, and many fans are curious to see what he’d do on the field.

After making a triumphant return to social media following a hiatus to take care of her baby boy, Nicki Minaj isn’t holding back. The rapper is celebrating the successes of the rerelease of her 2009 mixtape Beam Me Up Scotty after it was reported that the record moved 80K units its first week and broke records. Now that Mrs. Petty is back into her online groove, she shared a few thoughts about loyalty and staying the course, but first, she posed a question to the public.

“Yall don’t feel corny when you post a private dm or text someone sent you?” Nicki tweeted. She didn’t specify what prompted the question, but conversations about this topic were recently reignited after a woman sent screenshots of an Instagram DM exchange with Amber Rose to blogs. The model was asking the woman if she had been talking to Amber’s man, Alexander “AE” Edwards.

An hour later, Nicki returned with a bit of advice. “Sometimes the ppl you’ve helped the most will begin to hate you once there are new boundaries in place & they realize they can no longer use you,” she tweeted. “If you are naturally a giver, this will hit home for you. Don’t worry. Your blessings will continue to pour in.”
