Ice Spice’s “Princess Diana (Remix)” With Nicki Minaj Has Twitter Singing The Rap Divas’ Praise

by

It’s Ice Spice season. Since blowing up with “Munch (Feelin’ U)” last summer, the 23-year-old drill artist has been achieving one major career milestone after another. She earned a co-sign from Drake early on and now, she’s collaborating with one of the biggest names in hip-hop. Spice likely never saw this sort of success coming her way so quickly, though she’s obviously taking advantage of it. This New Music Friday (April 14), the famous redhead was joined by Nicki Minaj on the remix of “Princess Diana.” The song originally comes from her Like..? EP, which arrived earlier this year to great reviews.

The song begins with Isis Gaston reciting her famous bars from the chorus over production by RIOTUSA. “They be chattin’, I don’t give a damn and I’m still gettin’ money, I know who I am,” the Bronx-born lyricist reminds listeners. “And I just fell in love with a gangsta / So he put my name in a tat’,” she flirtatiously rhymes while beginning the first verse. “But I don’t let him come to the crib / So we get it on where we at.” Following that the Queen of Rap comes through with some heat, leaving the Barbz applauding her wit and flow.

Nicki Minaj Slides on the “Princess Diana (Remix)”

“Like grrah, keep it a stack / Bitches is ass if we keepin’ it crack,” she hilariously rhymes near the end of the remix’s second verse. “Bad little redhead, she ’bout to black / We come out, it’s a movie, but we don’t do BAP.” Since arriving at midnight, the song has garnered plenty of strong reactions from social media users. For the most part, they’ve been incredibly positive. “Twitter was praying that Nicki would start some kind of beef with Ice Spice only for Nicki to hop on the ‘Princess Diana’ remix and sign her under her new record label on a partnership deal,” one person proudly pointed out.

Another chimed in with, “The way Nicki bodied her ‘Princess Diana’ verse is insane, like the bars the metaphors, the energy. Mother slid! I’m not over this serve literally fkn still gagged.” Keep scrolling for more Twitter reactions to Nicki Minaj and Ice Spice’s “Princess Diana (Remix).” After reading be sure to tell us your thoughts on the hot new collaboration in the comments.

Eminem Expertly Crafts Rhyme For “Orange” In Resurfaced “60 Minutes” Interview: Watch

by

He’s gone through countless musical and personal evolutions throughout his career. Still, Eminem remains one of the greatest lyricists in hip-hop history. From his 1999 debut album, The Slim Shady LP, to 2022’s Curtain Call 2, the Detroit native has consistently delivered heat for over two decades. He’s best known for crafting rhymes that his contemporaries could never conceive. In fact, this past weekend, one of the recording artist’s most iconic moments resurfaced on social media in the form of a 60 Minutes interview with Anderson Cooper.

“I’ve heard you say that you bend the word,” the journalist says to Eminem during their chat. “Yeah, it’s just in the enunciation of it,” Slim Shady replies. “Like, people say that the word ‘orange’ doesn’t rhyme with anything. That kinda pisses me off. I can think about a lot of things that rhyme with ‘orange.’” At this point, the interview almost feels like a skit, as it’s hard to tell how serious the rapper is being. However, he quickly proves that he meant every word, giving Cooper prime examples of his lyrical wit.

Eminem’s Rhyming Skills are Unmatched

“If you’re taking the word at face value, and you just say ‘orange,’ nothing is gonna rhyme with it exactly,” the “Mockingbird” hitmaker admits. “If you enunciate it, and you make it like, more than one syllable, ‘or-ange,’ you can say like… I put my or-ange, four-inch, door hinge in storage / And ate porridge, with Ge-orge.” As Eminem recites the bars, Cooper lets out a giggle, admiring the 8 Mile actor’s obvious dedication to his craft. “You just have to figure out the science of breaking down words,” the former noted.

Elsewhere in the news, Eminem’s incredible influence on the industry was proven once again this past weekend. Following the arrival of their Sremm4Life album on Friday (April 7), Slim Jxmmi of Rae Sremmurd admitted that he used to try to rap like Marshall Mathers in the earlier days of learning his craft. Read more about that here. Additionally, let us know if you think the 50-year-old did a good job of rhyming in the comments below.

Ari Fletcher & Moneybagg Yo Seemingly Beef On Twitter: “We In F*ck That N*gga Season!”

by

While they don’t quite go to the same extremes as Blueface and Chrisean Rock, Ari Fletcher and Moneybagg Yo have never been the type to hide their relationship drama from the public eye. In the past, we’ve seen the social media starlet seemingly announce her single status over Twitter, however, she and the southern-bred rapper always seem to find their way back to one another. Unfortunately, though, it seems she may be beginning her Hot Girl Summer preparations a little early this year, leading to a social media spat with her man.

“Get yo shit together baby, we in f*ck that n*gga season!” the mother of one tweeted on Thursday (March 29) afternoon. Fletcher’s message got plenty of support, wither over 12K retweets and hundreds of replies. “Ari don’t have me like this and you laid up with your man 😭,” one person joked of the entertainer’s unfailing tendency to stick by Bagg’s side. “I’m tryna get like you,” they added. Another user chimed in, “I needed this 😂. I was just about to be over here bawling my eyes out FA NOTHING!”

Ari Fletcher and Bagg Spark Beef Rumours

While Fletcher’s followers were showing support for her declaration, her man made it known that he wasn’t so impressed. “[You] ain’t on shit, he calmly wrote back, standing in his confidence that his long-term girlfriend would be back in no time. “😂😂😂😂. This how all n*ggas be feeling when they girl cappin’ online,” a fan of the 31-year-old’s joked in response to his quote tweet. “She’s talking to the girlies Bagg. It’s women’s empowerment, women’s month. Let us be,” someone else chimed in, suggesting that Yo stay out of the conversation.

Aside from encouraging social media users to break up with their boyfriends, Ari Fletcher also broke the internet with a wild thirst trap earlier this month. After detailing her plans to undergo a waist-slimming procedure a few weeks back, the YouTuber appears to have done just that, revealing her ultra-toned midsection in a nearly naked Instagram Story last week. See for yourself here, and make sure to check back later for more pop culture news updates.

Did Drake Just Debut Some New Bars?

by

Drake is one of the best artists in the entire world. At this point, it is impossible to deny it. Overall, he has changed the game in a whole lot of ways. Additionally, he has some of the best-selling albums in the history of hip-hop. His mix of soft r&b ballads and harder-hitting rap songs has captivated a whole plethora of audiences. The artist has something for everyone, which is not an easy feat to accomplish. With each album, he breaks new ground and there is no doubt that fans are excited about what he is going to come out with in the future.

Soon, Drake and 21 Savage will be embarking on the “It’s All A Blur” tour. This is a tour that already has lots of controversy surrounding it due to the ticket prices. However, the two artists are on track to sell out every single venue and it is easy to see why. Their album Her Loss was a huge hit, and fans just want to see them perform together. Additionally, Drake’s last North American tour was all the way back in 2018. Needless to say, the Canadian megastar has been due for this kind of offering.

Drake Gets Poetic

On top of all of this, Drake has also been flirting with the idea of retirement. This is something that has certainly scared fans as they do not want to see Drake go. He is a staple of the music world and his loss would be immediately felt. That said, he seems to be reflecting on his success these days. In the Instagram post above, he offered what appears to be some unreleased bars. “One day I will tell the masses the story of how I manifested this whole thing while working on myself and a million other things,” he writes. “Till the records were all broken and the rules were fully bent/The 100’s smell like maple syrup so my closet has a scent/And the Rolexes are to remind myself I’ve done this time and time again,” he adds.

It remains to be seen if Drake will ever release the song that these bars are supposedly featured on. Based on the reactions from all of the fans, it is clear that this song is going to be a huge hit. The reactions were all positive, which means Drake should seriously consider dropping this. Let us know what you thought of the bars, in the comments down below.

GloRilla Reacts To Money Man Name-Dropping Her On “Saweetie” Song

by

Artists name-dropping each other on their tracks definitely isn’t anything new. Still, that doesn’t mean the celebrity at the butt of the bar is always happy to hear what’s being said about them. Most recently, it seems GloRilla is upset with Money Man over his rhyme about her on his “Saweetie” song. It landed on his first project of 2023, Red Eye, earlier this month. Of course, the “FTCU” hitmaker isn’t the only one mentioned by the 37-year-old, though she does seem to be taking it more personally than anyone else.

“Brown skin bitch, she feelin’ on my chest, she look like Saweetie / My unc’ still cookin’ dope up in the kitchen, bumpin’ Jeezy,” the quick-witted rhymer says on his chorus. On the first verse, however, is when he name-drops the southern rap diva. “Skinny bitch inside my DMs, she remind me of GloRilla / I had drew down on a fan, but he only wanted a picture,” Money Man’s noteworthy mention of her infamously petite figure goes.

Money Man Name-Drops GloRilla on “Saweetie”

As is customary when a hot new hip-hop song arrives, social media has been reposting the lyrics across various platforms. Of course, it wasn’t long before GloRilla got wind of them. She even took some time to reply to one person quoting the bar online on Sunday (March 26). “Skinny bihh in my DM, she reminds me of GloRilla,” they wrote, causing the 23-year-old to clap back, “Hey guys, what song is this??????????? I hate it.” Clearly, she’s not a fan of Money Man’s latest project, or at least not “Saweetie.”

GloRilla is undeniably slimmer than many of her contemporaries due to her decision to forego plastic surgery. However, she’s always let her confidence shine through despite trolls making nasty comments. In the past, her Twitter feed has lit up with claims that people are constantly asking her about her BBL, as well as reminders that she’ll always see herself as curvaceous and thick, despite what any haters out there have to say. Stream Money Man’s “Saweetie” on YouTube above, and revisit the Ohio native’s Red Eye project here afterward.

Drake Teases New Song About His Ideal Woman On IG, Performs In Colombia: Watch

by

Over the past few years, Drake has consistently released albums, much to his fan’s pleasure. As he prepares to head out on tour with 21 Savage for their joint Her Loss album later this year, the father of one appears to be spending some time in the studio cooking up more music. On Saturday (March 25), his Instagram Story lit up with a teaser of something he may be dropping in the future, which was produced by BYNX.

“I need someone to be patient with me / Someone to get money, would not take it from me,” the 35-year-old sings in the brief clip, seemingly unveiling the qualities he looks for in a woman. “They don’t even need to be as famous as me / I don’t think I meet ’em at the places I be / But deep down I think about you all day, mami,” his bars continue. From the sounds of the internet’s reaction so far, if Drake drops the unnamed single soon, he could have another summer anthem on his hands.

New Drake Music OTW

Other noteworthy bars from the Scorpion hitmaker include “I know I’m a pitbull, but dalé, mami / I just wanna take you on a holiday, mami,” and “Take me out the club, take me out the trap / Take me off the market, take me off the map.” While teasing the track is certainly sending plenty of attention Drake’s way, it’s not the only exciting thing he got up to this weekend. On Friday (March 24), he took to the stage in Bogotá, Colombia to perform at a local festival.

In one video making rounds online, he turns up to popular releases like “God’s Plan” and “Sticky” from last summer’s Honestly, Nevermind. Unfortunately for Drake, several viewers have been commenting on his below-average audio, writing things like “Bruh sounds like me singing his songs,” and “He honestly sounds mid.” Keep scrolling to catch a video of Drizzy’s performance at Estéreo Picnic Festival below. Afterward, let us know if you’re excited to hear the Canadian’s new single that he teased earlier this weekend in the comments.

Fans Clown Gunna For All His Anti-Snitching Bars

by

He can’t catch a break, can he? Gunna just got clowned on social media, particularly Twitter, after a fan compiled many of his anti-snitching bars. Of course, given his plea deal in the YSL case, such lyrics ring particularly false in hindsight. Moreover, fans immediately started to joke around and blast the Atlanta rapper for his unfulfilled promises. However, many also pointed out that nobody knows how they’d act until they’re put in that position, so many the hate is undue. Still, despite Gunna’s previous claims that he refused to cooperate, courtroom videos and the industry’s reactions suggest otherwise.

For example, his name recently got censored on a Lil Keed track off his posthumous album, Keed Talk To ‘Em 2. For those of you curious to hear the cut and Wunna’s omission for yourself, it allegedly happened on the song “Hottest.” In addition, other rappers unfollowed him on social media and threw out apparent subliminal disses on song leaks. As such, it’ll be interesting to see where Gunna goes from here in the rap game, and how (or if) he recaptures his audience.

Gunna’s Anti-Snitching Bars Compilation

Still, according to DJ Akademiks, the “Drip or Drown” artist has a new album ready to drop. Not only that, but it’s reportedly unaffiliated from YSL and will be part of a new major record label deal. With that in mind, if he’s to continue his music career, it’ll likely take a much different shape. Sure, the style might be the same, but he already seemed to cut some ties. However, he did show love to Young Thug in his first IG post following his plea deal.

In addition, these rumors received a boost on Sunday (March 19) after a new song snippet surfaced online. Moreover, his friend and model Brittany Reshaun posted a short clip onto her Instagram story, In it, he seems to refer to YSL. “Heard the rumors said I’m packing up and flying out / We ain’t going nowhere I’m staying here, gone fight it out,” he raps. “I meant like f**k it / Let’s just give these n***as dark clouds / Been gone for months and I just keep seeing these dark clouds.” Overall, perhaps Gunna will never dodge snitch allegations and his YSL friendship-turned-beef. Still, maybe he replaces that with an even bigger career move. Regardless, come back to HNHH for the latest on Gunna and check out the anti-snitching bars compilation above.

Bad Bunny Seemingly Disses Devin Booker On “Coco Chanel” Single, Athlete Responds

by

For quite some time, the main man in Kendall Jenner’s love life was NBA player Devin Booker. The model and her man’s on-again-off-again antics left many confused, and they eventually called it quits for good late last year. After embracing the single life for a few months, KJ has been getting cozy with a new lover as of late – Bad Bunny – and he appears to have dissed her ex on his latest guest verse.

As Complex reports, this weekend saw the arrival of the Latin rapper’s appearance on Eladio Carrión’s “Coco Chanel.” Once listeners had a chance to translate the lyrics from Spanish to English, it became obvious that he’s not afraid of Jenner’s dating history. “I’m not bad baby, that’s a gimmick / The Sun in [Puerto Rico] heats up more than the one in Phoenix,” his bars translate out to, seemingly shading Booker’s basketball team, the Phoenix Suns.

Bad Bunny Appears to Throw Shade on “Coco Chanel”

In the same verse, Bunny raps about “dangerous” Scorpios, which makes sense considering his rumoured new girl was born on November 3rd. “Las de escorpio son peligro, lo dijo Mela y Rukmini, ey / Una demon, la monté en el Rolls-Royce y le puse YOVNGCHIMI,” he spits in Spanish. “Yo no soy malo, nah, bebé, eso e’ un gimmick / Pero el sol de PR calienta má’ que el de Phoenix.”

While it hasn’t been confirmed whether or not Bunny intended to hurt Booker with his words, the athlete is certainly taking them personally. “He worried about another MAN again,” the 26-year-old wrote in a blog’s Instagram comment section after getting word of the gossip. As you may recall, he previously unfollowed Jenner on Instagram as rumours of her budding romance with the Bullet Train actor began circulating online.

Devin Booker Responds

We’re still currently awaiting official confirmation of a relationship between Bad Bunny and Kendall Jenner, though many have already taken their frequent hangouts to mean that they’re dating. Most recently, the pair left an Oscars after-party together in the same car, and they’ve been photographed kissing while out on the town grabbing sushi. Read more about their latest date night here, and check back later for more pop culture news updates.

La La Anthony & Kim Kardashian Rap Ice Spice’s “In Ha Mood” For TikTok: Watch

by

As she steps into her 40s as a single woman, Kim Kardashian seems to be having more fun than ever before. Following a months-long fling with Saturday Night Live alum Pete Davidson, she’s been focusing on herself and her four children – not to mention her countless other daily commitments. Even with such a busy schedule, one thing that the reality star has consistently made time for is filming TikTok videos with her eldest daughter, North West.

The 9-year-old’s profile on the social media site was a source of contention between her parents for some time, but now, the young girl is free to express herself creatively on the platform. There are restrictions in place, such as a comment ban on their post. Also, North can’t scroll freely through her “For You” page. Still, she and Kardashian have amassed an impressive 14.7 million followers thanks to their heartwarming and hilarious videos.

In the page’s most recent upload, it’s the 42-year-old who takes the spotlight, along with an appearance from her close friend, La La Anthony. As (presumably) North records, her mom lipsyncs along to Ice Spice’s “In Ha Mood,” which has been a TikTok favourite as of late. “I tried dippin’, he beg me to stay,” she mouths along. For the next bars, she reveals the BMF actress on FaceTime, also rapping along.

“In the party, he just wanna rump / Big boobs and the butt stay plump,” the song continues as Kardashian and her “baddie friend” take turns trading lines. Their timing certainly wasn’t perfect, as many have pointed out online, but it’s the thought that counts. Of course, this isn’t the only shoutout Spice has gotten from North and her mom this year.

Back in February, Kim Kardashian and her kiddo showed off their lipsyncing skills to yet another of the Bronx baddie’s songs. Following her debut Like..? EP, Spice teamed up with foreign songstress Pinkpantheress for the remix of her hit single, “Boy’s a liar.” It’s understandably been a massive hit on TikTok, with millions of people using the collaboration to soundtrack their videos.

Elsewhere, North also drew an impressive portrait of the famous redhead, which she subsequently shared on social media. Plenty of positive feedback came in from fans, as well as a response from Ice Spice herself. Read what the rising rap star had to say here, and check back later for more pop culture news.

DDG Addresses Rubi Rose Beef On “Way Too Petty,” Claps Back At Halle Bailey Fans Hating

by

The drama continues. If you thought DDG was done addressing the accusations Rubi Rose threw his way earlier this month, you’re wrong. After vehemently denying cheating on his girlfriend, Halle Bailey, the Michigan native has been regularly reminding Twitter precisely what it is that makes him such a great boyfriend. He’s made it clear that he wants to continue his relationship with the R&B starlet, though fans are becoming less and less sure they’re the perfect match.

Previously, the “Elon Musk” artist spoke about the situation in a YouTube vlog, which many viewers saw as a satisfactory explanation. Many also noted that Bailey made a brief appearance in the video, seemingly proving that their union hasn’t been tarnished as many outside spectators assume. Like any creative though, he also had to turn his pain into art, doing so in the form of a new single called “Way Too Petty” that arrived on Friday (February 24).

DDG Thinks Rubi Rose is “Way Too Petty”

Throughout his new track, DDG explicitly calls out Rose for attempting to expose him with screenshots of their alleged DMs. “Hoes screenshotting, that shit lame / Keep her on the side, she could never be my main,” he cooly rhymes. “She just wanna make it, she be f*cked for the fame / Posting pictures naked, baby, you should be ashamed.” Later on in the single, he also addresses his ex’s recent tweet about his current girlfriend wearing her old shirt.

“Tell them n*ggas do they research. I could fall off and come right back like it’s rebirth. Don’t believe the internet, it’s not that bitches t-shirt,” he cautions listeners, telling his side of the story. While her post at the time made it sound as though the Kentucky native had a problem with Bailey, she made it clear at the time that there was no beef between the two women. DDG, on the other hand, she chiefly called a “weirdo” for all of Twitter to see.

Halle Bailey Fans Come to the Rescue, DDG Responds

As the YouTuber continues to air out his drama for all of the internet to see, many of The Little Mermaid actresses’ fans are encouraging her to walk away from the relationship. “Halle get back in that sea and find another fish baby,” one Instagram user joked. “Is he trying to ruin her career?” another asked in wake of DDG’s latest controversial single. He’s clearly gotten wind of the critics and in a since-deleted tweet, he explained to them exactly why Bailey’s still standing beside him.

“‘Why tf she still fw him?’ I got a mean d*ck,” he explicitly wrote, only bringing in further backlash. As one comment on @theneighborhoodtalk’s post points out, “[DDG] is comfortable with [Halle] now and showing them true colours. She needs to run ’cause the red flags are red flagging.” Do you think the “Way Too Petty” song and the rapper’s deleted tweet are strong enough cause for a breakup? Sound off in the comments, and check back later for more pop culture news.
