Nicki Minaj Makes Hip-Hop History With Her Pink Friday 2 Tour

by

Nicki Minaj just made history. She’s currently headlining the highest-grossing tour by a female rapper of all time, and she managed to do it in less than 20 shows. According to Touring Data, Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 tour grossed a record-setting $34.9 million within the first 17 performances. This achievement is a testament to the rapper’s catalog of hits and her ability to stay relevant a decade and a half after she arrived on the music scene.

Minaj’s longevity has been the subject of much discussion in recent years. Ja Rule praised the “Red Ruby da Sleaze” rapper during a 2023 episode of Stepping Into the Shade Room. “Minaj’s place in hip-hop is [solidified],” Ja asserted. “The female MCs they’re having a run like they’ve never had before, and to me, in my opinion, I would say Nicki re-opened that door.” Ja hasn’t been alone in this sentiment. Minaj, who dropped her debut album back in 2010, has also received props from Da Brat and GloRilla. “Staying in the game, staying strong,” the latter said during an appearance on The Heat. “I’m trying to be consistent like that.”

Minaj Has The Highest-Grossing Tour By A Female Rapper

Minaj not only claimed the highest-grossing tour by a female rapper, but the highest-grossing concert as well. Touring Data reports that the rapper’s Madison Square Garden show on March 30, 2024, grossed a whopping $2.858 million. The success of the tour should come as no surprise to hip-hop fans, as Minaj’s recent album also set records. Pink Friday 2 netted the largest first week vinyl sales by a female rapper in history, in addition to securing Minaj’s third number-one album. Pink Friday 2 also scored Minaj’s first #1 single as a solo artist, “Super Freaky Girl.” From a records standpoint, it’s a good time to be a Barb.

The numbers are also a nice return to form after Minaj’s messy exchange with Megan Thee Stallion. The two rapper traded diss tracks early on, but Minaj’s “Bigfoot” was widely panned by fans and critics alike. Megan’s diss, on the other hand, “Hiss”, received critical acclaim and topped the Billboard Hot 100. The two will likely continue to beef with one another into the future, but it’s evident from Minaj’s historic achievements that she doesn’t need to engage with other rappers to solidify her legacy.

Does Megan Thee Stallion Have A Nose Job? Rap Diva Denies Rhinoplasty Rumours

by

As an Aquarius, Megan Thee Stallion is all about truth. Of course, the Houston native isn’t the good guy in everyone’s story, but she’s always moved in ways that feel most empowering for her and dealt with the consequences accordingly. Her relationship with Pardison Fontaine was a favourite to romanticize on social media, though the nasty aftermath of their lowkey break-up proves plenty was unfolding behind the scenes that Thee Hotties were unaware of. In a diss track dropped amid the beef, Fontaine accused his ex of undergoing lipo. She failed to address these allegations, but earlier this week, the black-haired beauty went live to shut down other rumours about her.

During a seemingly tipsy dinner with friends, Thee Stallion denied having rhinoplasty surgery to alter her nose. “I never read the comments,” she tells those dining with her in the video below. “You know I’m gorgeous,” Tina Snow hyped herself up, rocking huge hoop earrings and a low-cut black top. “She’s gorgeous,” her company for the evening echoed off-camera. “They be like, ‘Oh my God, she got her nose done.’ No, f**k y’all. Y’all h**s wish I got my nose done,” Meg told the camera while playing with her chopsticks.

“That’s right, you work too much. When would you even have downtime,” a male voice points out. “Y’all h**s need to comprehend how much recovery surgery take,” Thee Stallion ranted. She’s obviously been busy planning her upcoming tour with GloRilla, hitting the studio to record her album, and keeping up with all the drama unfolding between her contemporaries.

From an astrological perspective, we can explain the recent rise in hip-hop beef with the transition of various planets from watery, emotional Pisces into fiery, short-tempered Aries. People are all the more likely to say harsh things they regret in this pressure cooker of energy, such as J Cole dissing Kendrick Lamar and what’s been transpiring between the City Girls. Read more about all of that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

D’Angelo Russell Slides Into Megan Thee Stallion’s… Seat At Lakers Game: Watch

by

Megan Thee Stallion’s fit at the L.A. Lakers’ recent game against the Minnesota Timberwolves was turning heads on and off the court on Sunday night (April 7). Moreover, Laker star D’Angelo Russell crashed into her and a camera operator court-side during a play, and she reacted unbothered as two teammates helped D’Lo up. Of course, this resulted in plenty of memes online, as folks thought that he was just trying to get closer to the Houston MC. There are always jokes about how players perform while celebrities are there, but it seems like the more genuine and unassuming the interaction, the more people assume about it online.

After all, this is pretty tame compared to other hilarious celebrity moments at NBA games, but Twitter is still running rampant with memes about the situation. It also doesn’t help that Megan Thee Stallion’s “Wanna Be” twerking challenge is making people a little more lustful than usual when it comes to her. As such, there was even more reason for folks to joke about all this, a distraction that we’re sure the California team easily side-stepped on their play-in run. We’ll see how the post-season run for them goes, and whether or not they can push all the way to the Western Conference Finals again.

Megan Thee Stallion Keeps It Cool After D’Angelo Russell Crashes Into Her Courtside Seat: Watch

Elsewhere, Megan Thee Stallion is really feeling herself for plenty of reasons, and she recently let herself indulge in what seemed like confident trash talk. For example, folks thought that her Instagram Live jokes recently took aim at Nicki Minaj’s “Big Foot” diss track against her earlier this year. While that track didn’t find the best critical reception, the most important thing about it is that it didn’t really seem to impact or derail the 29-year-old’s career as Nicki might’ve hoped. Still, Meg has yet to respond to it, and while some fans consider this an automatic L, maybe there’s more to this story than we thought.

Meanwhile, her aforementioned new GloRilla collab “Wanna Be” is performing really well right now, hinting towards a potential summer smash. Do you think you’ll be bumping it all throughout the year or are you more confident in Tina Snow’s upcoming solo output? Drop your thoughts down in the comments section below.

Megan Thee Stallion’s Twerk Challenge Has Filled The Internet With Butts And Latto Is The Latest Participant

The big eclipse dominated the news yesterday (April 8), but right before that, it was a different moon that was generating attention: On April 6, Megan Thee Stallion shared a video of herself twerking her heart out and issued a challenge. She captioned her post, “IG after dark lol and nobody better not challenge me bc this the best ass on IG [tongue out emoji] or if you think so tag me in your video [crying laughing emoji] stream WANNA BE.”

Since then, many others have responded to the challenge, and now that list includes Latto. Last night, Latto shared a 29-second video of herself putting on her best twerking performance, using all surfaces and available camera angles in a dressing room to show off her skills. She captioned the video, “U called for BIG MAMA ??? @GloTheofficial.”

The twerk challenge is certainly serving as great promo for “Wanna Be,” the new Meg-featuring GloRilla song from Glo’s new Ehhthang Ehhthang mixtape. Uproxx’s Aaron Williams wrote of the release, “The Memphis rapper rediscovers her groove after a successful media run that once again endeared her to the fickle hip-hop audience. More homespun wisdom and elbow swinging trap realness bounds on her latest, which features appearances from Megan Thee Stallion, Moneybagg Yo, and more.”

Watch the “Wanna Be” video below.

Megan Thee Stallion ‘s Star Shined The Brightest With All Black Fit At Lakers Vs. Timberwolves

by

Megan Thee Stallion has been impressing us all year long for a number of reasons. Her return to music back in late 2023 did not prepare us for what was to come. She has dominated the year with “HISS” and her features for the Mean Girl remake soundtrack and GloRilla on “Wanna Be.” The latter collaboration has been a massive success already in just its first weekend when it premiered on Glo’s new mixtape Ehhthang Ehhthang. Music is not the only department she is slaying in though. Megan Thee Stallion had a killer look at the Lakers game this past Sunday, donning a curvaceous black fit.

The “Cobra” rapper was spotted courtside at Crypto.com Arena as the Lakers played host to the Minnesota Timberwolves. In the video below you can see that she has black cargo pants, and what appears to be a same-colored bodysuit. To help break up the monotonous outfit, the statement piece is a loud and bright neon greenish yellow Birkin bag. Megan was also having a mini photoshoot on the baseline before the game.

Megan Thee Stallion Is Ready For Any Occasion

While her star power is prevalent, it was not enough to propel the Lakers to a much-needed win. They still have an outside shot at avoiding the Play-In Tournament, sitting just a game and a half outside of sixth place. As for the Wolves, their 10-point victory vaulted them back into first in the West, holding the tie breaker over the Denver Nuggets. With just three games left in the regular season, the tight-knit standings are far from set.

What are your thoughts on Megan Thee Stallion showing out at the Lakers versus Timberwolves game? Does she have the best fashion sense out of any rapper in the game, why or why not? Are you excited for her upcoming album and tour? Do you think the Lakers have a shot at making run in the postseason? What about the T-Wolves? 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 Megan Thee Stallion and the NBA.

Cardi B & Latto Accept Megan Thee Stallion’s Twerk Challenge, But There’s A Catch

by

Cardi B and Latto have been challenged to participate in Megan Thee Stallion’s twerk-off online, and they both have unique reasons for hesitation despite their excitement. “Lord I gotta get these rusty knees ready,” Bardi accepted under Natalie Nunn’s video of her contributions to the trend, who egged her on to join. It seems like Nunn was successful in this regard, but when GloRilla challenged the “Sunday Service” MC to throw her hat into the ring (or throw it back, rather), she responded with a curious obstacle. “If I call u on 3 way w my man can u tell him it’s ok,” she wrote to Big Glo.

For those unaware, this “Wanna Be” twerk challenge from Megan Thee Stallion is for GloRilla’s new song with her, “Wanna Be,” which is proving to be a massive hit with fan. The cut samples Soulja Boy’s “Pretty Boy Swag” and flips it into a confident, club-ready banger. The Houston rapper prefaced this call to action with a declaration that she has “the best a** on IG.” It might not be the manifestation of competitive spirit that we expect from femcees, but we’ll take it. After all, there’s plenty of competition going on in the hip-hop world right now.

Latto & Cardi B Respond To Megan Thee Stallion Twerk Challenge

As such, maybe it’s right to put each other at odds through more innocuous or casual things like twerking rather than actively look for rap beef. Just last night at press time (Sunday, April 7), GloRilla seemed to not want to talk about her Twitter spat with JT, instead letting her bars about femcee unity on her new mixtape Ehhhthang Ehhhthang do the talking. She, Megan Thee Stallion, Cardi B, and GloRilla all seem on good terms, and it’s nice to see them find this avenue to engage each other through. At least, one outside of rap that doesn’t cause fans to jump to dissing rumors immediately.

Meanwhile, this is also a creative way for Meg to build up more hype for her next studio album. Bringing in other artists into the fold beyond a feature or performance is actually a pretty cool thing to do to get conversations sparking. We’ll see who comes out on top with the twerk crown by the end of all this. For more news on Megan Thee Stallion, Cardi B, Latto, GloRilla, and the femcee world at large, stick around on HNHH.

Megan Thee Stallion Is Putting Her ‘Best Ass On Instagram’ Title On The Line With An Open Twerk Challenge

Megan Thee Stallion isn’t phrased by Instagram’s stern warning over posting NSFW content. To prove how unfazed she is, Meg has put her “best ass on Instagram” title on the line for an open twerk challenge.

Yesterday (April 6), the entertainer took to her official page to announce the competition. “IG after dark LOL,” she wrote. “And nobody better not challenge me because this the best ass on Instagram 🤪. Or, if you think so, tag me in your video 😂. Stream ‘Wanna Be.’”

So far, only two brave souls have come forward to battle it out. The first submission came from Baddies producer Natalie Nunn. Users online didn’t quite feel that attempt.

But the fitness model Scotty’s clip has users online ready to crown a winner.

“I’m afraid she already won.”

Now, Meg’s followers are attempting to tag others into the challenge. The names thrown around so far include SZA and Uproxx cover star Chlöe. However, the “FYS” singer laughed off supporters request. “I’m afraid she already won 😭,” she wrote on X (formerly Twitter).

The only person who could potentially compete with Meg is her “Wap” collaborator, Cardi B. This could motivate Cardi to redeem herself from the last zero-rated twerk video she released.

Some artists covered here are Warner Music artists. Uproxx is an independent subsidiary of Warner Music Group.

Megan Thee Stallion Claims The Twerking Throne While Throwing It Back To New GloRilla Collab

by

Megan Thee Stallion is sending fans into a frenzy again on Instagram, this time with a video of her twerking to her new GloRilla collab, “Wanna Be.” “IG after dark lol and nobody better not challenge me bc this the best a** on IG,” she captioned her video. “or if you think so tag me in your video [crying-laughing emoji] stream WANNA BE.” Not only that, but the Houston MC also tagged some of her friends in the comments, challenging them to one-up her skills. “you win!!!!” Chloe Bailey wrote under the clip, whereas Big Glo had this to say in two separate comments: “Omggggggggg… I’m posting mine tomorrow you gmfu.”

Of course, this is par the course for a lot of Megan Thee Stallion’s dancing prowess online, and more importantly, it’s tied to a pretty solid banger. She might evoke the lust of many a thirsty social media user, but in 2024, it’s been clear that her comeback won’t slouch on the artistic tip. With singles like “Cobra” and “HISS” under the 29-year-old’s belt already, her lyrical and performance prowess on these cuts was a treat for fans to witness. Also, an upcoming summer tour is bound to yield some big moments, impressive displays of all of the above, and plenty of growth.

However, there have also been recent indications that this side of Megan Thee Stallion, the throw-it-back queen, might not take center stage on her next full-length. “How many songs do y’all feel like y’all wanna hear on this album?” she asked fans during a recent Instagram Live session. “In my mind, I was thinking 14, but I keep recording songs that’s so good! The first 20 songs I had, I’m just straight rapping. And then I started being in a better mood, so it’s like feel-good songs, and then I got in a ratchet mood because you know it’s about to be summertime!

“I just remember how y’all used to really whack me for making pop that a** music,” Thee Stallion continued. “I really wanted to get on y’all’s a**es and show y’all how bad I can rap, so I really haven’t been in touch with my roots. I’m trying to see if y’all wanna pop that a**, what it’s giving?” Apparently, her pen is making a strong return on her next album either way, and that’s more exciting than anything.

Today, GRAMMY-nominated artist GloRilla (CMG/Interscope Records) releases her highly-anticipated, new mixtape, Ehhthang Ehhthang, which boasts big-name features, ranging from her long-awaited collaboration with Grammy-Award Winning artist Megan The Stallion on “Wanna Be” to her team-up with CMG running-mate MoneyBagg Yo on “All Dere”

Glo’s new offering comes after the CMG upstart made her return earlier this year with “Yeah Glo!” The song continues to rise on the Billboard Hot 100, recently peaking at No. 35 and getting the attention of President Joe Biden, who invited her to the White House for a Women’s History Month in March.

Prior to receiving acknowledgement from the President, GloRilla also recently received a co-sign from Los Angeles Lakers superstar LeBron James, who played her hit song in a viral workout video. The pair ended up meeting shortly thereafter at a Lakers game.

GloRilla And JT Went Full Scorched Earth In A Series Of Posts Online Following The Release Of ‘Aite’ Igniting A New Rap Beef

It appears another feud in rap has risen to the surface. After expressing her wish for Cardi B and Nicki Minaj to end their longstanding beef, GloRilla unintentionally found herself in a dust-up.

Yesterday (April 5), the “Wanna Be” rapper’s new mixtape Ehhthang Ehhthang hit streaming platforms. On the track “Aite,” GloRilla attempted to kill off a rumor that she and City Girls’ JT had tension by rapping, “I just pray one day the bad b*tches would come together / ‘Cause Cardi and Nicki on a track would break some f*ckin’ records / Me and JT ain’t the best of friends but we ain’t beefin’ / Know b*tches always hatin’ and that they keep a secret.”

However, JT didn’t take kindly to being mentioned on the record. In a response on X (formerly Twitter), the musician took a moment to deny claims that she and GloRilla were involved in a physical altercation, which is at the root of the beef rumors. “I been said she didn’t,” she wrote. “[GloRilla is] the one who went radio silent! [She] played into it and released a song about slapping rap b*tches. Now, it’s female unity? CORNY!”

After this, both ladies began to exchange heated shots. Although GloRilla’s responses have since been deleted, users online have begun to post screenshots of the removed posts. See the exchange below courtesy of the Female Rap Room.
