Nicki Minaj Claims She Never Hired Kelsey Harris Amid Megan Thee Stallion Beef

by

Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion had a pretty nasty falling out earlier this year after a long history of subliminals and tension. Moreover, things became complicated – as rap beefs tend to evolve – thanks to the associations of each femcee and how they combated each other. For example, fans expressed shock and curiosity when Kelsey Harris, Meg’s former best friend, promoted Nicki’s shoe line on the Internet. Many took this as a direct dig at Thee Stallion, but the Trinidadian spitter recently took to Twitter to clear the air and elaborate on how she isn’t as petty as some fans assumed.

“The fact that @TheShadeRoom posted this LIE 5 days ago & im just now finding out,” Nicki Minaj tweeted on Sunday night (October 6). “chiiiiii LOL!!!!!!! I love being booked & busy. ‘Models for my collection’? She posted a photo in my sneakers. Me, nor my company knew anything about it until she posted it. So she did what many ppl did when they received my sneakers, they posted a photo in them. Kelsey def went all the way out with this professional looking backdrop tho…but she is in no way professionally connected to my sneaker brand.

Nicki Minaj Speaks On Kelsey Harris

“No matter what yall pay the Shaderoom to post, plz remember that I did a sold out record breaking tour. And was then ASKED to do a 2nd leg,” Nicki Minaj continued. “Too busy & too successful for the clownery. These calculated, planned stories & narratives everytime yall gotta promote is only make me feel even more like I’m that B!CH!!!!! no confidence in your talents & abilities as labels to sell albums or ANYTHING. So you waste money & energy on this. #GagCityMIAMI TONIGHT!!!! Btw, did Kelsey not tell them she wasn’t modeling for the line barbz? Did she just let them think that? I gotta get caught up yall. lol chiiiiiii WOO WEE!!!!!!!! BOOF ON. MAKEUP CHAIR.”

Meanwhile, another Nicki Minaj-related debunk emerged recently. Cardi B clapped back at folks who claimed she was stealing her memes. That seems like quite the ridiculous thing to argue over, but then again, there’s a lot of history making these small rifts loom large.

Nicki Minaj Blasts Megan Thee Stallion For Allowing Kelsey Harris To Be “Ripped To Shreds”

by

Megan Thee Stallion’s new track “Hiss” continues to make waves, and unfortunately, the fallout is only getting uglier. She seemingly dissed Nicki Minaj on the song, referencing her husband Kenneth Petty’s sex offender status. Neither Nicki nor the Barbz have taken the jab lightly. As chaos erupts on Twitter and Meg stays silent, Nicki has been sharing countless shady Tweets, even recently dragging Kelsey Harris into things.

For those who don’t know, Harris is Meg’s ex-bestie, and was in the car with her and Tory Lanez the night of her infamous shooting. Allegedly, Meg had started getting closer with Lanez while he and Harris were in a relationship. Since the shooting, she’s been accused of being the one to pull the trigger, though she and Meg deny this. She’s also been criticized for meeting up with Lanez after the incident.

Nicki Minaj Continues To Trash Megan Thee Stallion

According to Nicki, Meg has done Harris dirty, leaving her to face the fallout of their friendship alone while pregnant. “The b*tch ain’t get streamed in 84 years,” her Tweet begins. “Her team don’t want me to drop b/c they know those numbers gon embarrass her lying lypo a**. and SHE know I got proof of what SHE DID! And after how she allowed HER BEST GIRL FRIEND TO BE BULLIED, ATTACKED & RIPPED TO SHREDS WHILE KELSEY WAS PREGNANT W/HER FIRST CHILD??? After she had F*CKED HER BEST FRIEND MAN?!???!! IT WASNT ENOUGH?!? But this is y’all girl’s girl right? Any MOTHER taking this woman’s side may GOD STRIKE YOU DOWN.”

Obviously, Nicki isn’t messing around. While some commenters believe that she’s taken things too far, this is just one of many disparaging remarks she’s made about Meg in recent days. She even has a new track called “Bigfoot” scheduled to drop later today, which many believe will be a direct response to “Hiss.” What do you think of Nicki Minaj dragging Kelsey Harris into her beef with Megan Thee Stallion?

Megan Thee Stallion Responds To Pardi’s Breakup Comments, Denies Kelsey Harris Shooting Rumors

by

Even though she pretty consistently seems to try and avoid drama, Megan Thee Stallion also always ends up in the thick of it. Recently, she’s been dealing with the fallout from her breakup with Pardison Fontaine. She commented on the matter in her new single “COBRA” where she accused Pardi of cheating. He didn’t take that accusation lying down though. He’s spoken about the claim in multiple interviews and released a pair of songs that touch on it, even bordering on Megan disses.

Now, Megan has responded to the response in a quick video she shared on Instagram. In the clip, she once again expresses her desire to put a lot of the drama behind her and just be herself. In the moment where she addresses Pardi, she says he should have never shared his stance on the matter in the first place. She claims that if he hadn’t cheated, he shouldn’t have responded to her allegations as it only made it look more likely. Check out the full video she shared below.

Megan Thee Stallion Updates Fans On Drama

Just as she Megan dealt with one drama another emerged. Much of the legal drama surrounding her notorious shooting incident with Tory Lanez is settled. But it’s still a matter of major public interest. New intrigue was sparked earlier today when Lanez’s driver authored a letter. In the letter he claims that Megan’s ex-best friend Kelsey Harris was holding a gun the night of the shooting. While he doesn’t directly say that it was actually Harris and not Lanez who shot Megan, the implication is readily apparent.

During a recent Instagram live, Megan also responded to the rumor. She completely denied any chance of Kelsey being the one who shot her. “Cause y’all trying to pretend like Kelsey shot me. Kelsey didn’t muthaf**kin shoot me,” she said in the middle of an extended rant about the traumatic incident and reactions to it online. What do you think of Megan Thee Stallion’s responses to rumors about Pardi and Kelsey Harris? Let us know in the comment section below.

Tory Lanez’s Bodyguard Insinuates Kelsey Harris Could Have Shot Megan Thee Stallion In New Letter

by

Tory Lanez’s driver and bodyguard, Jauquan Smith, recently submitted a new letter in the case of Megan Thee Stallion’s shooting. According to him, he wanted to testify during Lanez’s trial, but was prevented from doing so by the District Attorney. He identifies Lanez as his former employer as well as a “close personal friend.”

In his letter, Smith claims that he was acting as a driver for Lanez, Megan Thee Stallion, and Kelsey Harris on the evening of Kylie Jenner’s infamous 2020 party. He recalls Meg and Lanez getting into an argument in the car, which ultimately led her to get out and sit at a nearby bus stop. He says that Lanez got out of the vehicle to talk to her, and eventually, they both got back in the car.

From there, Smith claims that their argument reignited, this time prompting some questions from Harris. According to him, Lanez then informed her that he and Meg were an item, which upset her due to their relationship. Allegedly, Harris and Meg then began to fight “both verbally and physically.” This prompted Smith to stop the car to break things up. At this point, he claims to have allegedly seen a gun in Harris’ hand. He says that Lanez ran towards Harris and struggled to get the weapon from her.

A shot was then fired, though he didn’t see who pulled the trigger. “The whole incident happened so quickly,” he says. “Within [just a] couple of minutes.” He claims to feel “lucky” to have not been injured, and adds that in his opinion, Meg was “fortunate” too.

Megan Thee Stallion 1501 Trial: Kelsey Harris’ Boyfriend Subpoenaed

by

Megan Thee Stallion is currently fighting a court battle against her former label 1501 Certified Entertainment, involving planning purported diss tracks after the Tory Lanez situation and halting the release of new music. Previously, outlets reported that Carl Crawford and his company denied her motion for a deposition to dig deeper into the case. Now, court documents obtained by Radar Online indicate that the Houston MC’s attorneys took matters into their own hands. Moreover, they issued a subpoena demanding that Darien Smith, her former best friend Kelsey Harris’ boyfriend, sit for a deposition before trial begins on August 7. However, the label thinks that she’s looking for the wrong Darien Smith.

Furthermore, 1501 stated that Smith does not work at the label, and that Megan Thee Stallion is instead referring to Darrian Smith. Regardless, the Traumanize artist believes that Harris’ boyfriend has crucial information that could help her prove Carl Crawford and his associates’ wrongdoing. Not only that, but she alleged that Harris worked with 1501 to make a diss track, which the label also denied. Harris and Megan fell out after Tory Lanez shot the latter in the foot, resulting in a long and nasty feud in and outside the courtroom.

Instead of being a full-on employee at 1501, Crawford claimed that Darien Smith is an independent contractor. Rather than work for them, he manages one of their artists but keeps business separate. “The allegations that 1501 has ‘maliciously collaborated’ in a ‘campaign to disparage [Megan]’ are as ludicrous as [Megan’s] refusal to listen to 1501 when it told her long ago that she was after the wrong Darien Smith,” the label reportedly stated.

“The label said it has never refused ‘to produce a corporate representative’ to testify regarding its publishing claim,” it continued. “Instead, 1501 has repeatedly asked [Megan’s] counsel to articulate what testimony [Megan] is seeking so that it might present an appropriate witness.” This case certainly isn’t getting any easier to untangle. Still, surely many more allegations and claims will come forward before, during, and after the trial that could enlighten the situation. With that in mind, come back to HNHH for the latest news and updates on Megan Thee Stallion.

Megan Thee Stallion Requests Kelsey Harris’ Texts Mentioning Her Name Ahead Of 1501 Trial

by

It’s only been half a year since Megan Thee Stallion came out victorious in her Tory Lanez shooting trial. With another Hot Girl Summer looming, she’s now preparing to head back to court. This time Megan will be facing off against Carl Crawford, the head of her former label. According to documents recently obtained by Radar Online, the rap diva’s attorneys have filed a deposition demanding a motion to compel against her ex-BFF, Kelsey Harris. More specifically, they’re hoping to obtain texts exchanged between her and Lanez or Crawford using Megan’s name.

The motion was filed on Wednesday (May 31) and additionally asks that Kelsey answer questions under oath on videotape. On top of that, Thee Stallion wants answers as to whether the 1501 Certified Entertainment head approved her former friend’s “Bussin Back” diss track. As you may recall, the song was previously introduced as evidence in the aforementioned shooting trial.

According to HipHopDX, it’s unclear at this time if 1501 has filed a motion to quash the request. Earlier in the month, Thee Stallion’s legal team also submitted a motion to depose Darien Smith – an executive label who is currently dating Harris. The reason he’s been named is due to his alleged “first-hand knowledge” of the situation.

On top of the trauma she’s endured, the Houston hottie is apparently also having a hard time getting 1501 to comply with her “in good faith to schedule these depositions.” As of now, the trial is scheduled to begin on August 7, leaving both sides just a few months to get their affairs in order. Do you think Megan Thee Stallion will come out on top in her fight against Carl Crawford’s 1501 Certified Entertainment?

Kelsey Harris’s Injuries After Tory Lanez Shooting Shown In New Photos

by

Following a guilty verdict in the Tory Lanez trial, social media flooded with conversations surrounding new evidence and recordings. While many have questioned the morality behind such an interest, the high-profile case became more important with each passing week. Furthermore, photos surfaced online of injuries of Megan Thee Stallion’s ex best friend, Kelsey Harris.

Moreover, the pictures show injuries on her legs and hands, plus patches of what seems to be pulled-out hair, allegedly from the night of the shooting. While it may seem uncomfortable, in the comments section, many welcomed the new evidence. “Show me every bit of evidence they have,” one user wrote. “I want to see it all ! Thankyaverymuch.”

However, some were less eager. “Who is feeding Niq this information?” another commenter posted, referring to the source of the pictures. “Or is it all public record?” Even with some users wanting to move on, there is clearly a lot left to discuss and take into account with this case.

Also, Harris played a pivotal role in Lanez’s guilty verdict according to reporters and court officials. A leaked apology call from the Canadian artist to Kelsey showed his acknowledgement of what went down.

“I would never do some s**t like that, bruh. It’s just that a n***a was so f**king drunk. I just didn’t even understand what the f**k was going on, bruh,” he said. “Regardless, that’s not gonna make anything right, and that’s not gonna make my actions right, bro. I’m just deeply sorry for that. I never even moved like that, bruh. Never moved like that at all, bruh. Like for real, for real, dawg.”

“I feel crazy, fam,” he continued. “What happened, happened already, bruh. I can’t take it back, bruh. I’m just telling y’all I’m sorry, bruh. I think we was just too drunk, bruh. When I got to the house, off-top n***as had gave me like five shots. Like off the door, you feel me? I was outta there.”

Tory Lanez’ Alleged Jail Call To Kelsey Harris Leaks: Listen

by

The Tory Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion saga has almost come to an end. On Friday, December 23, Tory was found guilty on all three charges in his highly publicized case. Thus, in the coming weeks he will be sentenced on the following charges: assault with a semi-automatic firearm (personal use of a firearm); carrying a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle; and discharging a firearm with gross negligence. 

Nevertheless, unwavering fans of the Canadian artist have reportedly started a petition to appeal his guilty verdict. According to crime reporter Meghann Cuniff, however, Tory’s verdict was decided by the infamous apology call he made to Kelsey. In a surprising turn of events, that alleged phone call has now made its way to the internet.

Tory Lanez’s infamous call to Kelsey from jail has now surfaced online. 

During the trial, Tory’s defense tried to pin Megan Thee Stallion’s former friend, Kelsey Nicole Harris, as the shooter. The attempt was ultimately unsuccessful, and now that Tory’s call to Kelsey from jail has leaked, fans may understand why.

At the beginning of the phone call, Tory Lanez checks on Megan and Kelsey’s well-being. Then he asks which hospital the Traumazine artist was being treated at. After getting that information, Tory then begins to apologize profusely.

“Regardless, I know she probably gonna never ever talk to me ever again, but bruh, I just want you to know bruh. Nigga, I was just so fucking drunk,” Tory Lanez confesses. “Nigga, I didn’t even know what the fuck was going on, bro. Dead ass. I didn’t even know what the fuck was going on, bro. Like dead ass, nigga.”

I’m just deeply sorry for that. I never even moved like that, bruh. Never moved like that at all, bruh. Like for real, for real, dawg.”

After that, Kelsey let out a long sigh before saying, “You know, it was a lot — a lot that happened, but—”

“A whole lot, bruh. Like a whole lot, bruh. I feel like — I feel crazy, fam,” Tory Lanez replied. “What happened, happened already, bruh. I can’t take it back, bruh. I’m just telling y’all I’m sorry, bruh. I think we was just too drunk, bruh. When I got to the house, off-top niggas had gave me like five shots. Like off the door, you feel me? I was outta there.”

“He was found and bench warrant was recalled,” Attorney Michael Zweiback said. Edison reportedly “came forward today because of what was happening to his family.”

The bodyguard’s father recently told Good Morning America that he hadn’t heard from Edison since last Thursday.

“My hope is that [Justin] comes forward so that he doesn’t assume the risks that we discussed before,” Harold Edison shared with GMA. “I explained to him that this is not worth the risk … we must maintain our integrity.” He also noted that a SWAT team entered his home and placed him in handcuffs. The District Attorney’s office declined to comment about the incident.

“I really want this to stop. This is a clear abuse of law enforcement,” Harold added.

Following yesterday’s proceedings, there were questions about whether or not Lanez would take the stand. It was stated that if so, he would open up a can of worms: his music videos and lyrics would be used as evidence.

An eye witness who lived near where the shooting occurred shook things up after they testified. Sean Kelly called the police after allegedly seeing the fray, and he was called as a defense witness. Yet, Kelly did anything but clear Lanez of responsibility.

He did, however, testify that he saw the first shot fired by a woman. Kelly also stated he witnessed Megan and Kelsey in a physical altercation. After Kelsey allegedly fired the first shot, Kelly said a short man shot at Megan multiple times, as well. It was argued by the defense that Lanez didn’t fire any shots.

Additionally, another report states that the fourth person with Megan, Lanez, and Harris was in court, but did not testify.

It is speculated that a verdict can arrive as early as tomorrow. Stay tuned in as we update you on the conclusion of this case.
