LHHATL’s Akbar V Reminds The World That Nicki Minaj Co-Signs Her Rap Career

When majority of female emcees come into the game, one thing is for certain: they’ll either praise Nicki Minaj in order to be embraced, compared to Nicki Minaj unrightfully or for some reason or another end up beefing with Nicki Minaj. Notice how the common factor here is, well, Nicki Minaj? That’s because many people consider her to be the current queen of hip-hop, both for her decade-spanning domination of the music game and ability to branch off into television, film, podcasting and other forms of lucrative media outside of rap realms.

It’s very understandable that an aspiring femcee like Love & Hip-Hop: Atlanta star Akbar V would look to Nicki as the ultimate inspo, especially after said Queen co-signed your rap career via social media.

“This Alone let me know my talent don’t go unnoticed,” Akbar wrote as a lengthy caption on a recent IG post, which showed off a mention she received not too long ago from Nicki Minaj in reference to her skills. The caption continued with a boastful affirmation that “All that other shit you haters talking don’t be bothering me,” in addition to prompts to go stream her latest single “Right Now.”  Adding onto the braggadocio even more, Akbar continued her praise of Minaj by stating, “She never told y’all favs this though.” The Nicki Love Train kept pushing forward from there, with the reality star even writing, “She’s the only person matters when it comes to female rap she’s the #QueenOfRap this was wrote a minute ago to me and everytime i get discouraged i go look at this.” 

“Right Now,” which currently sits at just over 35,000 views on YouTube since it dropped a few weeks ago on Mar 26, isn’t a bad song overall. Also, she looks pretty stunning in the official music video. We say, keep grinding! Let us know down in the comments what you think of “Right Now” by Akbar V though, and whether or not you could see her dropping a collab with Nicki Minaj sometime in the hopeful future:

Sada Baby Apologizes To Lil Nas X

One has to wonder whether or not Lil Nas X knew exactly what he was sitting on prior to the release of “MONTERO’s” controversial video. There stand many who appreciate what Lil Nas X brought to the table with “MONTERO,” rewarding the pop sensation with yet another number one record on the Billboard Hot 100. On the other hand, the song has reached undeniable levels of infamy, with Lil Nas X’s Satanic lapdance and subsequent tie-in shoe release having drawn the ire of public figures and rappers alike.

Following the height of “MONTERO’s” release, as well as the alarming hospitalization of DMX, Detroit rapper Sada Baby responded by sparking a controversy of his own. “Lord we said Lil Nas X, not DMX,” wrote the rapper, an Instagram post that ultimately earned Sada no shortage of backlash and accusations of homophobia. Lil Nas X himself actually responded to a report on Sada’s post, writing “this is so fucked up omg” before encouraging fans to keep “MONTERO’s” momentum strong. 

Now, Sada has come forward to clear the air, taking to Instagram to address the backlash he’s been receiving since his initial post. “I said what I said in that post because of the shoes,” he begins, alluding to Lil Nas X’s MSCHF collaboration. “That’s it. The Devil shoes, the Devil in the video. Giving the Devil a lapdance. Wild, that shit crazy. That will never be no shit I sympathize with or empathize with or agree with. But I wasn’t wishing death on blood for real, nobody want a n***a dead.”

“His main audience is kids,” continues Sada. “What you showing to kids is you giving the Devil a lapdance. I don’t want to walk in a room anywhere with any of my family and see my kids imitating what they see in that video in any way. That’s not something I agree with. But yeah, I apologize to Lil Buddy if he feel I wanted him dead.”

Mother Nature & Valee Put On For Chicago With New Collab “GOOFIEZ”

Mother Nature is currently doing justice in hip-hop, both for the female rap game and the legion of burgeoning Chicago-bred emcees overall. The duo seems to be doubling down on the “put on for my city” initiative with their latest single “GOOFIEZ,” and the ladies are getting some help thanks to another Chicago native that’s pretty ill behind a mic as well.

G.O.O.D. Music’s own Valee is the emcee at hand who helps bring the collab to life, with each rapper included delivering an impressive set of bars that shows off their individual flows respectively. Lyrically, “GOOFIEZ” is all about stunting with an emphasis on doing so as a strong unit with your closest homies. Basically, do your best to leave the “goofs” on the sideline where they can’t interrupt your glow-up, and continue to rock out with your winning team as we move into better weather and (fingers crossed!) a healthier and disease-free society. Sounds about right if you ask us!

Take a listen to “GOOFIEZ,” the latest single by Mother Nature featuring Valee off the duo’s upcoming album SZNZ, by streaming the track below or on your preferred MSP. The LP is expected to be released on April 20 via Closed Sessions, so be sure to stay on the lookout as it’s set to feature appearances from the likes of Brittney Carter, Freddie Old Soul, The Cool Kid’s own Sir Michael Rocks and more. Let us know your thoughts as always down below in the comments section:

Quotable Lyrics:

Is we politicking or we b*tching?
I don’t really know
Found a way to activate the vision
Sh*t is mind control
What you speaking? How you living?
What’s the riddle of your soul?
This one’s for my n****s
Hope my real ones found the antidote

Fyre Fest Cheese Sandwich Tweet Being Sold As An NFT

It’s been a few years since the infamous Fyre Festival nearly took place. Truthfully, it seems like it would’ve been a page out of 2020’s book but somehow, it predates what has been defined as one the worst year in modern times. Of course, Ja Rule’s involvement in this sham event made it all the more hilarious, even as he’s attempted to distance himself.

With the rise of NFTs in the world of art, it seems that one person could purchase the notorious photo of that repulsive cheese sandwich that sent the Internet ablaze.  Photographer Trevor DeHaas is selling his photo of the sandwich as an NFT beginning Tuesday at noon. The buyer of DeHaas’ photo will be able to own the “cultural touchstone” as well as the copyright ownership in order to monetize the IP. DeHaas explained that the proceeds from the NFT will go towards his kidney transplant and daily dialysis. The funny thing about the newly launched NFT is that it’s actually being sold on Ja Rule’s Flipkick platform 

“Initially the viral tweet came with a lot of negative connotations and assumptions about me; rich-spoiled-clout chasing-millennial-brat,” DeHaas told Complex via email.

“People assumed I paid $12,000 for a ticket and that I cared about going to the festival. The reality is that I went for free and I originally turned down the $500 ticket from my friend, Matt, who bought a group package. 8 people [for] $4,000. Matt wasn’t able to get rid of his remaining ticket and offered me the ticket for free. In exchange I would film a music video for his band, Hypothetical, at the festival. I remember thinking, ‘3 days in the Bahamas, what’s the worst that could happen?’ LOL.”
