Nicki Minaj Responds To Criticism Ahead Of “Pink Friday 2”

by

Nicki Minaj is gearing up to drop her eagerly-awaited new album, Pink Friday 2, at the beginning of next month. Since announcing it, she’s provided the Barbz with a single, delivered special surprises each Friday to build anticipation, and more. The hitmaker frequently finds herself a target for criticism, however, with social media users always looking for opportunities to make negative comments on what she does.

Unfortunately, this seems to have left the rapper fed up, based on a recent message she shared with fans. In her message, she notes the backlash she gets on a regular basis, advising people to stop trying to tell her how to do her job. Instead, she thinks fans should simply enjoy the work she puts out, as she doesn’t intend to change her ways to appease anybody.

Nicki Minaj Claps Back

“Music is a very serious business for me & MANY OF US but it’s also my F*CKING ARTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!” she explained. “MY GIFT!!!!!!!! FROM GOD.” Nicki continued, noting how people in different professions don’t receive the same level of criticism. “Do you tell physicians how to operate on your penis holes & hair lines? Would you tell a pastor how to preach his sermon in the middle of Sunday worship? Do you tell the strippers where to position their butt holes while they on the pole tryna entertain you? Do you tell JORDAN HOW TO chew his gum & move his wrist b4 a FKING JUMP SHOT!!!??!??!”

“Being a ppl pleaser will never make the pleaser feel pleased,” she added. “So stop. Take it from me. I’ve learned the hard way for years.” Clearly, Nicki isn’t here for the criticism, and won’t be letting it stop her from doing her album the way she wants.

Remy Ma Sends Cryptic Message To The Opps On Instagram

by

Remy Ma is stirring up beef rumors with her latest Instagram Story post on Wednesday (November 22), although we have no idea who it could refer to. “You s***ted on me & I still never exposed you,” the image reads, adding a couple of facepalm emojis. “I know secrets about people I don’t f**k with anymore and their secrets will never leave my mouth. My character will never be questioned. It’s cool though.” Given that Hazel-E recently claimed that she and many others are getting paid to sabotage Nicki Minaj, it’s unsurprising that she has to defend herself against plenty of people. We can’t link those two situations together, though; it’s just an example of the kind of thing that the femcee could be addressing.

However, in that specific example, it seems like things might change very soon. Moreover, Nicki Minaj recently hinted at a reconciliation between her and Remy Ma, who were once rap rivals. On her Instagram Story, the Trinidadian MC wrote one of Remy’s lyrics from her verse on the Big Punk track, “Ms. Martin.” “Look over your shoulder, I’m in the rover, it’s over b***h,” the lyrics read. Either this fired at the 43-year-old in escalatory fashion, or it hinted at their next move.

A post shared by The Shade Room (@theshaderoom)

Regardless of this potential bread-breaking with Nicki Minaj, Remy Ma also has plenty of things on her mind that have people attacking her. For example, there are scandalous accusations that she cheated on Papoose with Eazy The Block Captain, who recently hit up an Eagles game together. These instances fueled the fire even further, which came to a head during a rap battle in which Geech Gotti accused Eazy of having a romantic relationship with the New York MC. She denied any and all allegations, but found it very hard to dodge them in recent months.

Meanwhile, the Terror Squad affiliate recently denied pregnancy rumors, too, which might connect with the previous narrative. All in all, the Internet is a wild and rowdy place where folks spit out whatever for some clicks. When that combines with the competitive nature of the rap game, music industry, and pop culture world, only chaos can ensue. On that note, stay up to date on HNHH for the latest news and updates on Remy Ma.

Famous Dex Sends Druski A Message About Posting Him: Listen

by

Famous Dex is someone who has had it rough over the last couple of years. He has struggled with addiction and has also had to deal with people making fun of him. Overall, he is sick and tired of a lot of this treatment. Although he has certainly engaged in beef before, there is no doubt that the constant ribbing grows tiresome after a while. For instance, he recently lashed out at Druski for bringing him up amid his beef with Birdman. It even led to a public message on IG.

“Lol @druski u post that old ass video of me an Soulja Boy on Mac grave when I see u ima beat tf outta u. an u can’t come to Chicago cause it’s gone be another chain gone u p-ssy gay a– dude, I don’t play with u I don’t even know you [shrug emoji] But why u posting me like a b-tch can’t wait to see u have that same energy,” Dex said originally. Now, however, Dex is hitting back at Durski again, this time in video form. You can listen to the message, down below.

Famous Dex Speaks His Peace

In the video clip, Famous Dex essentially reiterates his feelings about the Druski clip. He notes that he understands that the man is a comedian, however, he still has no right to be so cruel. He also had a vaguely threatening aura about him, although we’re not sure that comes across entirely. Druski certainly knows now that it is probably best to just avoid Dex entirely. After all, following the Birdman situation, you don’t need any more problems.

Be sure to let us know your thoughts on this situation, in the comments below. Who do you think is in the right here? Should Druski just leave it alone? Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will always be sure to keep you informed.

Drake Shares Heartfelt Message Following The Death Of 40’s Father, Donald Shebib

by

Recently, Drake took to Instagram to share a message following the passing of Donald Shebib. Shebib was a celebrated Canadian filmmaker, as well as the father of Noah “40” Shebib, one of Drake’s close friends. He shared a photo of the two of them embracing one another alongside a heartfelt caption. “Don Shebib gave me one of my best friends in the world and we were able to build something that changed our lives and our city forever,” he wrote. “Long love the Don we will continue in your honour for as long as they allow us.”

Shebib was pronounced dead at the age of 85 in Toronto over the weekend. His son shared a similarly emotional message on Instagram following the news. “I will always miss you my good friend [hand heart emoji] Until I see you again. Rest in Paradise [black heart emoji],” he captioned a carousel of sweet photos alongside his father. “Donald Shebib. The legendary Canadian Filmmaker. You deserve all your flowers. [black heart, flowers emoji].”

Drake Says “Long Love The Don”

The message for his late father isn’t the only emotional post 40’s shared recently, however. Last month, he penned a message denouncing the atrocities currently taking place amid the Israel-Palestine conflict. “I live in Canada,” he began an Instagram post. “One of the worlds most brutally violent colonial regimes. Still in active genocides against indigenous peoples. It’s hard to speak as I sit here benefiting from colonial violence to the highest degree.”

“Believing in both the human rights of Palestinians and the right and need of a Jewish state has meant I have always had friends on both sides. And beyond the physical war, seeing them be pushed into extremism by such acts of violence is distressing,” he added. What do you think of Drake’s heartfelt message following Donald Shebib’s passing?

SZA has taken to social media recently, sharing a message to her fans about ignoring haters. “The net is not real,” SZA begins the message. “N***as said my tour would never sell and we were blessed,” she continues, “N***as said my album wouldn’t do well it’s wack blah blah .

YK Osiris’ Treatment Of Sukihana Gets Slammed By Wack 100

by

The Internet is becoming increasingly and unfortunately divided over YK Osiris’ unwanted advances towards Sukihana, who he grabbed and repeatedly tried to kiss despite her reluctance while she commentated a basketball game. Instead of scolding the artist for his behavior, defending the Delaware native’s rights, and acknowledging the violation of them, many instead focused on the reaction to these actions, labeling it another witch hunt and asking people to downplay what happened. No such reaction came from Wack 100, though, who had strong words for Osiris. Via Instagram, he defended the “Love & Hip Hop: Miami” star and called out those defending the rapper.

“@ykosiris I’ve been knowing you for a while,” Wack 100’s message began. “But for this you need ya a** whooped! Those men that sat there & watched that were in arms reach y’all COWARDS as well! So what if a women works at a strip club. So what if she has a only fans doing whatever, so what if she raps songs about how good something is. That gives no man the right to force themselves on any women. @meekmill if you ain’t gone check @ykosiris publicly don’t ask this woman to look the other way publicly. They make a few places for people like this… prison, ER, mortuary.”

Wack 100 Slams YK Osiris

Many criticized Wack 100’s response not because they disagreed, but because his artist Blueface is known to mistreat women as well. In the hours since the incident made headlines, YK Osiris apologized for his actions. “I want to publicly offer my sincerest apology to Sukihana,” he posted on Instagram. “In an attempt to be playful, I misread the moment and violated Sukihana’s boundaries. I understand the importance of consent and I am embarrassed by my behavior, I take full responsibility and have made multiple attempts to apologize. I have the utmost admiration for Sukihana and it was never my intention to disrespect her.”

Said apology came soon after Sukihana deleted her Twitter account, an action that followed a series of tweets seemingly addressing the situation. In them, she expressed feeling “hurt and scared to stand up for” herself, “crying all day,” once using alcohol to cope and then leaving it behind, and feeling the need to disappear for some time. Her mother slammed the rapper’s apology as “fake” in a since-deleted post. No matter your take on the situation, two wrongs don’t make a right, and certainly don’t warrant attacks on Sukihana or her family for what happened. For the latest updates and news on YK Osiris, Wack 100, and Sukihana, stay up to date on HNHH.

Drake Pens Farewell Message To Toronto Before Tour

by

It’s shaping up to be a wild summer for artist tours, with Drake and 21 Savage leading the way with their collaborative It’s All A Blur trek. Before kicking it off in Memphis, Tennessee in the United States on June 29th, though, Drizzy wanted to say goodbye to his home city of Toronto. After all, it’s his first North American tour since his 2018 journey with the Migos. While his latest Instagram Story didn’t make it clear why he was leaving a bit over two weeks before the tour starts, it did feature some heartfelt words towards the 6ix. In addition, a gorgeous picture of the city’s CN Tower, famously featured on the cover of his 2016 album Views.

“Goodbye my beautiful city,” Drake penned on IG on Monday (June 12). “I haven’t left for this reason in over 6 years but I hope I can make you proud once again. I love you all. Have an amazing summer and pls try to take care of each other. See you in October.” On the 5th and 7th of that month, he will close the tour out in Toronto, unfortunately without 21.

Drake’s Goodbye To Toronto (For Now)

However, even though these next few months will surely have him busy, Drake is still gearing up some heat in the studio, apparently. As if having one of the most commercially successful albums of 2022 wasn’t enough, the Canadian superstar seems to be tapping old friends back. He posted a picture of him and frequent collaborator Sampha on his Instagram Story. Furthermore, the two have a proven track record of great songs such as “Too Much,” “The Motion,” and Sampha’s solo (vocal) track on Drake’s More Life project, “4422.”

Meanwhile, Drizzy continued stacking up his list of dynamic duos since then, whether in the musical or romantic sense. For example, he seemed to confirm dating rumors with Lilah via Instagram as well, although that could just be chalked up to loving language and not an actual relationship confirmation. On the other hand, his bromance with Lil Yachty remains as strong as ever. For more news and the latest updates on Drake, keep checking in with HNHH.

Kevin Gates Has A Wild Message For Fans And Haters Alike

by

Rapper Kevin Gates recently expressed his views on financial arrangements in relationships through an Instagram Live session. During the session, a viewer inquired about his stance on splitting finances equally with his partner. Gates responded by recounting his own personal experience. The rapper mentioning that he had been involved with a woman who offered him something invaluable that money couldn’t purchase. It was a nice moment of clarity for an artist that often posts some pretty odd or explicit things on his social media accounts.

“I have been in a relationship where the woman provided me intangible wealth,” Gates said of the previous union. He said that “no amount of money” could buy what she gave him. “She did everything to make my life peaceful and it motivated me and allowed me to focus and make more money,” Gates continued. “50/50 wasn’t half of the rent, but she provided a place of peace to me in order to reach my highest potential.” Gates went on to say that there are several types of wealth. Some are tangible and others are intangible.

Gates: “Find Me That N*gga Who Could Say He Stuck His D*ck In Me”

Kevin Gates recently came back to Instagram to send a message to his followers. The rapper seems to have gained a certain level of peace in his life recently. In interviews not too long ago, he even spoke about hunting for his own meat. He also posted an extremely NSFW video of a child being born. While some may find it disturbing, one can see the value in posting it. The rapper’s latest video, however, has some confused. In it, Gates seems to be relaxing in the ocean as he speaks directly to the camera. He had quite a bit to say. Some parts of it made more sense than others.

“Let the record reflect, he or she that ever did me dirty when I wasn’t nothing but genuine with you people… Hey, I forgive you. I didn’t understand it when I was going through it, but I thank you,” Gates said sincerely. “‘Cause y’all… provoked me to be something that I never, ever thought I could be.” This is where the rapper’s message started to go a little bit off the rails. “I’m gonna step away for a while, and I’m gonna have my executive assistant take care of my affairs… Hey but do me two favors,” Gates said. “Find me two n*ggas. Find me that n*gga that could say I told on him, and find me that n*gga that could say he stuck his d*ck in me. Everybody that comes around takes my style and tries to steal it.” Many were confused by the second half of his statement. What do you think about it? Be sure to sound off in the comments!
