Nicki Minaj’s Fake Nails & Tour Earn Beyonce’s Approval, Trolls Tease Onika About Rihanna & Cardi B

Nicki Minaj fell back, had a baby, did the mother thing, did the wife thing, all that… But now, she’s back in action like we’ve never seen her before, moving with complete confidence on her Pink Friday 2 Tour. Things began this past winter in Oakland, and since then, we’ve also seen the Queen of Rap tear up the Rolling Loud stage with her latest hits and old classics. Minaj has been working so hard that she’s even got the attention of Beyonce, who penned a sweet letter to her “Feeling Myself” collaborator praising her recent efforts.

“Onika, I just received your nail collection and I love them,” the mother of three beautifully wrote. “Thank you so much for thinking of me and congratulations on your launch and on tour. Blessings. Love, Beyonce,” her card concluded. When sharing it on her Instagram Story, Minaj was clearly proud. “Barbz, #PinkFridayNails are Queen approved. Thank you, @beyonce. Love you 💗.” As with most things Papa Bear’s mom shares online, this is under public scrutiny for several reasons.

“Heavy on the ‘congrats on your nails and tour,’ cause y’all was trying to play with Nicki like she’s not loved and supported in real life,” one Instagram user wrote under @theneighborhoodtalk’s post. “Now y’all can put the made-up beef to rest,” another chimed in. Elsewhere, some chose to lash out at the Queen of Rap, using her moment of celebration as a time to attack. “Cardi is out with Rihanna, BYE Nick,” they said after the New Yorker and Barbadian turned up at Jason Lee’s Hollywood Bash this week.

Social Media Reacts

Ultimately, no matter how much speculating we do, no one really knows how Nicki Minaj feels about her “Fly” collaborator spending time with one of her biggest opps. What we are confident in, however, is Bey’s love for Onika, no matter what haters have to say.

Cardi B LAPD Drama Has Femcee’s Team Speaking Out: “There Is No Truth To This Story”

With a platform as large as the one Cardi B has amassed for herself comes a lot of responsibility. For the most part, the New Yorker chooses to use it wisely, though that’s not always the case. Earlier this week she stirred up conversation after going Live and talking about wanting to take legal action against the Los Angeles Police Department. “They had me outside for like three hours,” Cardi alleged.

“They had me getting butt-naked outside. S**t was [wild]. It was deada** a movie. I’m about to sue the LAP. I told them like, ‘Yo, I’m Cardi B. Do I look like I gotta sell some s**t? Like why would I do that? I would never pull no s**t like that,’” the Invasion of Privacy artist said. Elsewhere in her rant, the Hustlers actress claimed that White cops didn’t recognize her while conducting their search. “They was really tough on me and everything,” she vented.

They said somebody gave them a clue. I really feel like it was one of my opps and s**t, like they really trying to ruin my life. Like y’all don’t even f**king know. I been going through a lot lately.” Cardi revealed to her followers. After the LAPD denied the incident, on Wednesday (March 27), her team spoke out to clarify some online discourse. “This IG Live was taken out of context and there is no truth to this story,” reps for the former stripper told Billboard in a statement. “Apologies for any confusion,” they added.

Not everyone is impressed with Cardi B’s tall tale about her “run-in” with authorities this week, but one area where the mother of two rarely disappoints is fashion.

Cardi B Performs “Bodak Yellow” For Rihanna, Jason Lee, Paris Hilton & More: Watch

2023 was a year that saw female artists in the music industry rallying together and showing support, and while there’s still been some of that in 2024, tensions have been rising. The biggest femcee feud we’ve seen so far is between Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj, and because they’re two of the biggest names in rap, it only makes sense that virtually all their contemporaries are dragged into the situation by Twitter stans too. In the past, the Queen of Rap and Cardi B have had their issues too, which is why some were surprised to see a close friend of Minaj’s supporting Bardi earlier this week.

While attending Jason Lee’s Hollywood Bash event, the Hustlers actress performed one of her first big hits, “Bodak Yellow,” much to fellow patron’s pleasure. Even Rih was feeling the track, singing along to some of Cardi’s lyrics while touching up her makeup with a Fenty pallet. As AllHipHop reminds us, this comes shortly after the New York native expressed her desire to make a “perfect” song for her and the Bad Gal to collaborate on. Plenty of other stars were in attendance, including heiress and reality starlet Paris Hilton.

“I love Rihanna’s music, but I don’t do music like that,” Cardi shared on the Million Dollaz Worth of Game podcast earlier this month. ” I sound kinda [silly] trying to sing like that, trying [to] sound like that. So if I ever get that perfect record, I can not wait until I feel like, ‘This song… I know she’s going to like it.’ Because I don’t want to send her nothing like, ‘Ho, what the f**k is this s**t? Take this thing out of my face.”

Both Rihanna and Cardi B are making major moves while their fans await the new music they’ve been promising. One of the former’s biggest announcements this month was her Vogue China cover, which took a nod from Beyoncé’s recent love for Western wear.

Cardi B Plans To ‘Sue The LAPD’ After They Allegedly Made Her Get ‘Butt-Naked’ And Accused Her Of Selling Drugs

Cardi B had a truly wild story to share in her recent Instagram Live that took place yesterday (March 25). During the live, she claimed that she was once approached by the Los Angeles Police Department after they thought she was selling drugs — and sadly weren’t familiar with who Cardi was.

The story went a step further when Cardi dropped in the detail that the cops allegedly made her strip down because of it.

“They had all the helicopters in LA,” she shared. “Yo, I was freaking out. They had me outside for like three hours. They had me getting butt-naked outside. Sh*t was crazy. It was deadass a movie and whatever, but you already know.”

However, she is about to show them exactly who she is. “I’m about to sue the LAPD,” Cardi added. “I told them like, ‘Yo, I’m Cardi B. Like do I look like I gotta sell some sh*t? Like why would I do that? I would never pull no sh*t like that.’”

During the encounter, Cardi continued to try the cops who she was — a Grammy-winning performer. But it wasn’t working and the situation got out of hand.

“They didn’t believe me. It was some white cops and they ain’t know who I was,” she continued. “They was really tough on me and everything. They said somebody gave them a clue. I really feel like it was one of my opps and sh*t, like they really trying to ruin my life type sh*t. Like y’all don’t even f*cking know. I been going through a lot lately.”

If anyone could carry through a lawsuit against the LAPD, it would be Cardi B — only time will tell though. Check out a clip from her Instagram Live here.

Cardi B Says Joe Budden Isn’t A Fan Of Hers During Twitter Rant: “Mouth Be Bigger Than They Pockets”

Cardi B has long been promising a sophomore LP to her Bardi Gang, and seeing how consistent she’s been with new singles in 2024, something tells us the rap diva might deliver this year. Her fans remain as loyal as ever to the black-haired beauty, but various bloggers in the music space have mixed feelings about Cardi after snagging a Grammy Award for Rap Album of The Year and then taking an extremely lengthy hiatus. Among the latter category is Joe Budden, who the New Yorker name-dropped during a rant on Twitter/X Spaces earlier this week.

“I’m always working, and I’m hungry,” Cardi declared. “Not even 2017, f**k 2017, I’m working like I’m in 2016 and I have something to prove. You ni**as is mad at that! This s**t ain’t luck ni**a, this is work ni**a. I don’t gotta pay s**t to be on nothing, I’d rather chart low just so I can know what my fans like, and whether they’re gonna react. Fortunately, I charted high, ‘cuz this what motherf**kers wanna hear!” the mother of two boasted of her “Enough (Miami)” song. “One b**ch, two b**ch, old b**ch, new b**ch. None of y’all b**ches not gonna do s**t! I can’t help that other people like that s**t. God gave it to me so I gotta pop it,” Cardi continued to hype herself up.

Cardi B Sends Out a Message to Her Haters

After promising that she’s “standing on business” in this era of her career, the former stripper said, “B**ches be talking, mouth be bigger than their pockets.” Cardi added, “I’m pretty, I’m litty, I’m running this city. I’m s**ting on b**ches in every department. There’s ni**as who haven’t even be liking my records for a whole year. Even Joe Budden – that ni**a hates me – even him said that this song was fire. Why would he lie to me? He don’t even f**king like me, he didn’t like my last record. How people that don’t even like me saying that this record’s fire?”

Elsewhere in Cardi B’s world, the Los Angeles Police Department has her feeling some type of way after a recent incident at a traffic stop. According to the femcee, she was forced to step outside “butt naked” as officers searched her car for three hours while accusing her of trafficking fentanyl. The incident reportedly took place because they failed to recognize her celebrity status at the time; read all about it at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Shakira & Cardi B Team Up For The Spicy “Puntería” From The Colombia Icon’s Latest Album

One of the pillars of pop music from the mid 1990s to the present has to be Shakira. The Barranquilla, Colombia superstar always has hits up her sleeve and is a model of consistency. However, over the last seven years, fans have not gotten a new album. That all changes today, and one song from it that no one can stop talking about is the Shakira and Cardi B collab “Puntería.”

Released just hours before Las Mujeres Ya No Lloran or Women No Longer Cry, this is now her 12th album. Shakira and Cardi B were a trending topic for a little bit back in May of 2023. The rumblings were centered around a possible song, “Estoy Lamida,” coming that summer, but it never materialized. However, “Puntería,” might be what was in the works around that time.

Listen To “Puntería” By Shakira & Cardi B

The main draw of this track is the possible meaning behind it. The title of song translates to “aim.” According to Bustle, they feel this song and album title has some ties to Shakira’s ex-husband Gerard Piqué. The “Whenever, Wherever” hitmaker was already throwing shade at him and his new love interest all through 2023. The overall message of the track is expressing how difficult it can be to move on from a past relationship. It does not directly call out Gerard or his partner, but we can see why some believe Shakira might have attacked the song this way.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new song, “Puntería,” by Shakira and Cardi B? Is this the best track on the Colombian pop star’s new album, why or why not? Who had the strongest performance on the record? Do you think she is taking shots at her ex-husband? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Shakira and Cardi B. Finally, stay with us for the most informative song posts throughout the week.

Quotable Lyrics (English Translation):

I become a she wolf like Shaki
Crazy, crazy you are, my tiger
Touch, touch me with more desire
So that I never forget about you
She wolf like Shaki
You are my tiger

Cardi B Pushed Back Against Any Haters Of Her Being On Flo Milli’s ‘Never Lose Me’ Remix

Cardi B, in typical fashion, did not hold back on the haters of her being on Flo Milli’s remix of “Never Lose Me” alongside SZA. During a recent Instagram Live, Cardi walked around and had some words for her followers.

“When the Flo Milli remix came out, b*tches were acting like they were so mad that I was on it,” she said. “‘Cardi not even gonna sound good on this.’ And then when it came out, you know the haters — some of them didn’t even hear it. They was like, ‘She just don’t go with the song.’ And now there’s over 10,000 TikToks of people talking about, ‘B*tch could never be me in her life!’”

“And the artist — which is Flo Milli — said she f*cking loved the verse,” Cardi added. “And she’s a real b*tch. She ain’t gonna be like, ‘Oh yeah I love it!’ just because she wanted me on the song. She loved it. And SZA loved it, b*tch. I wanna say this why you can’t listen to no f*cking body.”

Flo Milli had dropped the remix of the song a few days earlier, as part of her Fine Ho, Stay album.

Cardi B Says Her New Album Is ‘Different’ And Explains What She Means By That

At long last, we have a new Cardi B album on the way, following her 2018 debut Invasion Of Privacy. As for what the project’s like, allow Cardi to explain.

Cardi had a mini Q&A session with the official Threads account on Threads yesterday (March 21), and one of the questions (more of a prompt, really) was, “Describe your upcoming album in one word.” Cardi responded, “Different. I think it’s different. I think there’s going to be some songs that are, like, not expected to come from me.”

Threads also asked, “How have you surprised yourself in the past year?” Cardi replied, “I’m not going to talk about last year. I’m going to talk about this year. Um I have been surprising myself with like letting my anxiety break. Being more out there. Being more open. Hopefully I could be more social in person. So yeah. That’s one thing. Breaking my anxiety has surprised me.”

Another question was, “What’s one thing people would be surprised to learn about you?” Cardi answered, “Well, I feel like something that people are surprised to learn about me is that I’m very introverted. Like, a lot of people can be, like, I’m very shy in person, or a lot of people think that I’m like… I don’t know what it is, mean or something, but it’s like everybody will be like, ‘Yo she’s so fun. She’s so funny. She’s so good to be around,’ and everybody says that about me, and it’s just like, I guess, that’s something that people find surprising about me.”

“I made a lot of money,” she said. “I feel like I actually passed almost doing $80 million. I make a lot of money. I make a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot, a lot of money.”

Cardi went on to say that even though she’s rolling in the dough, she also has quite a few bills.

“But also, I got a lot, a lot of bills,” she said. “I’m taking care of [family]. I’m helping a lot — I’m not going to say I take care, I’m helping a lot, and I help a lot of my friends and I help a lot of my family and everything.”
