Ice Spice And Megan Thee Stallion Fanbases Begin Feuding Thanks To Barbz Stan Account

A new beef might brewing between the fanbases of Ice Spice and Megan Thee Stallion. “if ice spice who is a new artist is “untalented” bc she has “one flow” & she twerks on stage, what does that make of Megan?” a Nicki Minaj account wrote, sparking tensions between the two sides. The tweet quickly spread across musical Twitter, garnering nearly 100,000 views in a few hours and garnering responses from both sides.

“An actual performer who can do more than just scream “grah,” one Megan fan retorted. “When was the last time Big Foot was spotted on Spotify chart?” an anti-Nicki account shot back. “Ice is giving saweetie with the same flow in every song and no stage performance. Saweetie was killing it in 2020 but she fell off bc she wasn’t talented that’s what gonna happen to ice,” another person concurred. How do you feel about the situation? Let us know what you think in the comments.

Ice Spice Goes After Latto

However, Ice Spice has her focus set on a feud with Latto. Spice renewed her beef with the Columbus femcee during a Spaces AMA this week. while answering fan questions, Spice went off about Latto playing the music video for “Pretty Girl” in the background of a recent video. “Why am I in the back of your weak a– snippet? I thought it was fake, I thought it had to be AI but no. Like be bold, but if you’re going to talk about me, then talk about me. Why am I in the back of your weak a– snippet?” Spice sounded off to the collection of shocked listeners.

This latest barrage from the Bronx rapper comes after she dropped “Think U The Shit (Fart)” in which she took direct shots at Latto. It’s still unclear what caused the beef to initially kick off. However, fans immediately drew battle lines. Latto is yet to directly respond to both Spice’s new single and the latest comments about the surprise cameo in her latest snippet. Whose side are you on? Let us know in the comments.

Nicki Minaj Casually Plays “Big Foot” For IG, Her Comments Flood With Haters

Nicki Minaj has been on a heated rampage for the last week or so, but it looks like things might finally start slowing down. Well, on her end, because fans are no less prone to leaving negative comments and criticisms on social media as a result of her new diss track towards Megan Thee Stallion, “Big Foot,” and the meltdown that she engaged in and targeted against others. Moreover, the Trinidadian MC published a video in the late hours of Thursday night (February 1) of her just vibing out to the song. While there were plenty of Barbz in the comments section, there are also a lot of folks tired of seeing her lash out in this way or that think she’s making things worse for herself.

“the fall off nicki is a hard watch,” “So y’all just gonna ignore the wig cus she nicki ?” and “you still have time to delete this …” were among the most popular comments in terms of likes under this Instagram video. But does Nicki Minaj deserve this backlash for pushing a rap beef and calling out alleged industry wrongdoing? Unfortunately for her, it goes far beyond that: the “Megan’s Law” bar on Meg’s “HISS,” salacious claims with no evidence so far, and threats against other entities, industry peers, and higher-ups. Add on top of that a Ben Shapiro endorsement and many fans are expressing disappointment online.

Nicki Minaj Blasted By Fans Under Video Of Her Chilling Out To “Big Foot”

Still, this is the woman who wrote “Monster” and hit big with “Everybody” recently; things will die down, many will forget, and the Barbz will go back to being the main participants in Nicki Minaj’s Internet presence. However, that will only come when she moves past all this in a significant way. After all, Megan Thee Stallion seems quite unbothered by the whole thing for the ‘Gram, so it’s unlikely at press time that she will respond with another song. Couldn’t the 41-year-old claim this as an automatic victory and just move on, regardless of what fans think?

Meanwhile, with the commercial performance of “Big Foot” seemingly declining, that will likely determine what will hopefully be the last battle of this war: the sales for each combative record. While this is by no means an important metric (especially in rap beef), it will determine the public narrative about who came out on top. Let’s see if either MC does anything in the near future to change that. On that note, come back to HNHH for the latest news and more updates on Nicki Minaj.

Is Nicki Minaj’s Wild Barbz Fanbase Out Of Control?

Many celebrities tout their own unique cult following of loyal consumers who would go above and beyond to defend them. Unfortunately, the modern era of social media and parasocial relationships has led some famous people to surround themselves with obsequious yes-men who will insatiably do their bidding, no matter how absurd. One such example is Nicki Minaj’s so-called “Barbz.”

The Barbz actively employ threats and online harassment to aggressively target Nicki’s enemies and critics. At times, they have gone so far as to doxx the personal information and whereabouts of those who speak negatively about their femcee queen. With the latest headlines once again maligning Nicki Minaj and her band of crazed fans, it begs the question: are Nicki Minaj’s Barbz the most dangerous fan base in all of music?

The Barbz Have Doxxed Megan Thee Stallion’s Deceased Mother

In a move that truly sounds impossible to accomplish, Nicki Minaj’s fans have successfully doxxed a dead woman. In a vehement response to the ongoing rap feud between Nicki and Megan Thee Stallion, the Barbz have gone to the extent of researching and uncovering the location of Meg’s mother’s burial plot. Some fans have issued threats to show up at the site, hinting at unsavory acts of vandalism.

The cemetery security has been notified of this ongoing breach and has pledged to maintain a watchful eye over the plot as the story continues to unfold. Megan’s mother tragically passed away from cancer in 2019, and has nothing to do with the ongoing exchange of words between Nicki Minaj and her daughter which recently culminated in tracks such as “Hiss” and “Big Foot.”

Clearly, this is twisted behavior that should unequivocally be condemned by any artist, though Nicki Minaj has a long and unfortunate history of whipping her fans into a fervor like this and letting them loose, or even actively encouraging them to engage with their worst impulses. While Megan’s family is the most recent example of this trend, they are far from the first victims of the Barbz’s toxic ire.

This Is Not The First Incident With The Rapper’s Fans

@belatown

I’m sorry Nicki fans, please leave my family alone. I took the video down.

Several victims of Nicki Minaj’s Barbz have taken to social media to inform the public that they have lawyered up against the ravenous fans, after suffering harassment similar to that of Megan Thee Stallion in years past. While some famous people such as Lil Kim have faced the ire of rabid fans, many victims of the Barbz include random teenagers voicing their distaste for the rapper on social media. Many onlookers have even taken to comparing the Barbz to the crazed central character Dre from the Prime Video series Swarm.

Swarm was created by Donald Glover and Janine Nabors to illustrate the wild lengths some fans will go to in order to impress their favorite musician. The show features a crazed fan who locates and brutally murders members of the public who take to social media to voice criticism of her favorite singer, Ni’Jah. While the show primarily draws real-world parallels to the fan base of Beyoncé, it seems that Nicki Minaj and her Barbz are far more deserving of the title at this time.

Nicki’s fans have brigaded subreddit communities, turned out in droves to cyberbully autistic TikTok users, and even ganged up to launch a widespread attack on her husband’s sexual assault victim, in a disgusting display of toxicity. Hopefully, Nicki will come to her senses and gain control over her over-protective fans quickly before they spiral out of control on another unsuspecting critic. With all this toxicity and horrifying behavior, the Barbz are genuinely a dangerous fanbase.

Megan Thee Stallion Mom’s Cemetery Forced To Ramp Up Security As Nicki Minaj’s Barbz Continue To Be Unhinged

Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj have been going at it over the past week or so. Overall, it started with the song “Hiss” which has some direct shots at Minaj. Subsequently, Nicki began firing back on social media and was eager to continue the beef. However, her song “Big Foot” ultimately fell short on more than a few levels. The fans were not feeling it whatsoever, and now, some are questioning here legacy. Ultimately, it seems like Meg has come away with the win, albeit with a few large inconveniences.

For instance, we reported yesterday on how the Barbz had gone ahead and doxxed the gravesite where Meg’s mom is buried. It was a truly awful happenstance that goes to show how unhinged the Barbz can be. Well, according to TMZ, the cemetery involved in the story has officially upped its security. However, that is simply a precaution, and for now, there is no immediate danger. Although, when you really think about it, this kind of invasion of privacy should have never happened, to begin with.

In the past, the Barbz have been known to Doxx celebrities, other fans, and even journalists. For those who may not know, this is the act of making public people’s full names, home addresses, and sometimes even workplaces. It is a practice that is extremely dangerous and can lead to some worrisome real-world consequences.

Hopefully, Meg is able to see a bit of peace in these next few weeks as the beef begins to subside. Let us know your thoughts on the Barbz and their dirty tactics, in the comments section below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will always be sure to keep you informed.

Nicki Minaj Said ‘Billboard’ Is Trying To Discredit Her Sales With New Rules Following A Successful Fan Contest

Nicki Minaj‘s fifth studio album Pink Friday 2 has proven to be a hit among fans. In the week since its release, songs from the album have dominated the streaming and iTunes charts. Additionally, Minaj’s dedicated fanbase, the Barbz, have taken to social media to show off their vinyl and CD editions of the album. Many fans are anticipating that the album will reach No. 1 on the Billboard 200.

However, it looks like some last-minute changes to the rules may affect her rankings. Today (December 13), Minaj took to Twitter to express her frustrations with Billboard, claiming they are not going to count 100,000 of the physical edition sales, as the “Big Difference” rapper held a contest requiring Barbz to show proof that they purchased four editions of the album. Following the contest, she would select 100 Barbz to join her in the studio one day.

“been discussing my 100 barbz contest for months,” said Minaj. “They said billboard reached out to say they gon take away sales for me telling y’all about the 100 barbz thing.”

She continued, hinting that she would reveal more news within the next few hours.

In a follow up post, Minaj shared that the album has reached 300,000 units sold in physical and streaming equivalents, however, Billboard allegedly won’t include 100,000 of those sales.

“It’s at 300 but once they filter out 100K, you’ll be none the fkng wiser,” said Minaj.

She continued expressing her frustrations, saying, “I’m being punished for: Not signing a 360; Making great music; Having great fans; And for not leaving the game so that their new Nicki’s (who signed 360 deals) can be propped up to look as tho they are a lot more successful than they rlly are.”

Earlier this week, Minaj revealed the dates for the highly-anticipated Pink Friday 2 World Tour which will kick off early next year.

Nicki Minaj Thanks Barbz For 2023 Billboard Music Award For Top Female Rap Artist

For the first time in her career, Nicki Minaj took home the Top Female Rap Artist trophy at the Billboard Music Awards on Sunday (November 19). Moreover, the organization created this category in 2018, and she previously took home the general Top Rap Artist accolade back in 2013. As such, it’s quite nice to see the Trinidadian MC receive this specific honor five years after the award’s inception. Another big winner from this ceremony was her Young Money partner Drake, who won five awards and swept many of the rap categories. In her video accepting the award, she thanked the ever-loyal and ever-present Barbz for their constant support and championing of her.

“Thank you to the Billboard Music Awards for presenting me with the best female rap award of 2023,” Nicki Minaj stated in a video. “Barbz, you are amazing. I appreciate you so much. And I can’t wait to share Pink Friday 2 with you on my birthday, December 8,” she concluded, blowing a kiss to the camera. The new album is closer than ever, and the die-hards couldn’t be more excited for this next long-awaited step in one of the most influential and impactful careers in all of hip-hop.

Nicki Minaj Told Her Fans To Stop Threatening People — After Years Of Them Doing Just That

Over the past few years, it would probably be fair to say that Stan Culture™ has been a little … well, toxic. From the BeyHive to the Swifties, fan wars on social media have gotten out of hand on more than one occasion, leading to people being threatened for doing little more than sitting too close to fans’ favorite pop stars.

And the worst perpetrators of all have been the Barbz. Lashing out at any provocation, they’ve terrorized critics of Nicki Minaj so badly that it honestly began to reflect poorly on the rapper herself. After all, most of her peers had made at least the semblance of reining their fans in at their worst; sometimes it seemed as though Nicki encouraged the bad behavior.

But today, finally, after around five or six years of out-of-pocket behavior, it seems Nicki is trying to call them in and calm them down. In a post on her Instagram Story, Nicki addressed their online bullying, writing, “Dear Barbz, Be sure to never threaten anyone on my behalf. Whether in jest or not, I don’t and never have condoned that. We have an amazing album right around the corner 12/08/23. It feels so surreal and euphoric. Wishing you blessings on blessings.”

If the timing seems convenient — coming as Nicki faces multiple legal actions over the Barbz’s near-constant boundary stepping — at least it’s something. As the saying goes, “Better late than never.”

Nicki Minaj Surprise Drops New Track “Bahm Bahm”

Nicki Minaj gave the barbz something to celebrate to on Friday night (Oct. 13). The queen barb once again demonstrated her ability to drop a surprise hit, releasing the sizzling new track “Bahm Bahm” exclusively on her website. The single’s cover art, adorned with a pink-colored crown, is a fitting representation of the reigning queen of rap. Leading up to the surprise release, Minaj teased and engaged her fans in an exciting interactive experience that let them decide the next single. On Oct. 12, she created a poll on X (formerly known as Twitter) with the hashtag that read “Pink Friday 2.” From there, she offered her fans three options: Juice WRLD, Future, or “Bahm Bahm.” Fans eagerly participated, casting their votes as anticipation continued to build. As Friday progressed, Minaj dropped cryptic hints and teases, leaving the Barbz on the edge of their seats.

Minaj revealed that “Bahm Bahm” had won in the poll, which unlocked the highly-anticipated track for her dedicated fans. She celebrated the victory, tweeting, “There’s a winner [trophy emoji]. It was based on MANY deciding factors in addition to the 2 polls,” she wrote. “It’ll appear shortly on the music player on my website. More surprises coming. Huge. But let’s just enjoy a cute bop & meet up next #PinkFriday…same time, same place. Gag city.”

Cute lil appetizer to munch on while we wait for the Album in a few weeks,” one fan said. “And we still got them vault tracks on Live AND a freestyle with our names on it ouuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuu btch IM gagged.” “Thank you mother!! #BahmBahm” another tweeted. “When the throw aways HEAT??? I’m sorry give my girl her 10sssssssss!” said someone else.

The catchy track on her website opens with “There I go again, kickin’ some dumb flow,” setting the stage for a song that’s as bold and spontaneous as Nicki is herself. Meanwhile, the chorus of “Bahm Bahm” sees Minaj doubling down on her well-earned confidence. She raps, “They say my price ridiculous, I don’t like them b**ches, p**sy tight and vicious, hit them likes to lick this (bahm, bahm), screamin’, ‘f**k the opposition.’” Her lyrical prowess and fierce delivery in this track are a testament to why she remains at the forefront of the rap game. As fans await the release of Pink Friday 2, “Bahm Bahm” remains just enough to hold us over. Let us know if you’re excited for new music from Nicki Minaj?
