Keke Palmer can do it all. She can sing, she can act, and she can deliver one hell of a celebrity impression. Her versatility has made her a staple on game shows and late night television, and her latest appearance on The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon is a prime example of why. Keke Palmer recounted a memorable encounter with Nicki Minaj, and proceeded to dazzle the audience with a spot on impression of the New York rapper. An impression so good it even charmed Minaj.
Keke Palmer claimed that she ran into the rapper shortly after she became a mother. Nicki Minaj called her over a for a conversation, but the sternness in her voice freaked Palmer out. She recounted this very stern approach in her Tonight Show impression. She absolutely nails Nicki Minaj’s accent and cadence, and host Jimmy Fallon couldn’t help but start laughing. Fortunately, for Keke Palmer, the red carpet chat was a positive one. Nicki Minaj merely gave the actress a pep talk and urged her to keep her head up, in the event that things become difficult.
Nicki Minaj Joked That Palmer Might Ruin Her Tough Persona
“Look, I don’t read the press,” Palmer recounted being told by the rapper. “I don’t know everything that’s goin’ on’. But I just wanna tell you, nobody knows what it’s like when we turn off the lights and we gotta be with ourselves. So you do whatever you need to do to be good with you.” Keke Palmer recalled being very relieved, given Nicki Minaj’s reputation for combativeness. She claimed she thanked the rapper for her kind words and has tried to apply them in her own life. Nicki Minaj saw the Tonight Show interview and proceeded to follow up on the anecdote via Twitter.
Nicki Minaj responded to Keke Palmer’s impression in a humorous light. She noted that the actress’ heartwarming story could jeopardize her reputation as a cutthroat rapper. “Ummmm…why would she even tell that story? doesn’t she know that could mess up the whole ‘bad guy’ thing?,” the NY rapper tweeted out. Nicki Minaj wrapped things up with another joke, claiming that she’s going to send a cease and desist to Palmer due to her spot on impression. “Let’s see if she still laughin when she get hit w/that cease & desist chi.” All good fun.
Add Nicki Minaj to the list of legends in the RIAA diamond club. Her uber-popular 2012 single “Starships” has just crossed the 10 million sales mark. Minaj highlighted the achievement in alignment with the 10th anniversary of her second album, The Pinkprint.
That was my 2nd album. We’ve come a long way. Thank you for your continued support Thank you to my record label & team/ djs/radio & streaming. 11/22 is our Next Pink Friday We celebrate the 10 year anniversary of my 3rd album #ThePinkprint with never before released vinyls…plus … hmmmm *thinks*
Nicki Minaj is feeling nostalgic and a little insecure on this Tuesday afternoon thanks to some very personal text messages. According to The Neighborhood Talk, the Trinidadian rapper and singer shared some texts between her and her boo, Kenneth Petty. Nicki started the conversation by sending the father of her child of spicy picture of herself, basically topless. In fact, the only thing covering her chest area are some shiny nipple pasties. Following that image, she writes, “What my jugs USED to look like b4 YOU impregnated my womb with papa bear ” That kicked Kenneth into cheerleader mode, sending back some appropriately hilarious emojis and accompanying messages.
“I remember those… they still… PERFECT TOO MEEEEE.” While it might be a little strange to share such a private conversation, it’s sweet to see that these two are deeply in love with one another. Some social media users share that same feeling, with one adding, “She love that man & that baby.” “I don’t get it…what’s the issue with her posting this? Half of y’all WISH y’all man would admire you like that!” another proclaims.
However, there are quite a few who are not too big of fans of this back and forth between Nicki and Kenneth. “Just go back to the doctor. But take us out the chat first!! Mmkay, thanks.” “Mind you they both 81…” “Still no Nicki. Stop forcing. It.”
All of this negativity could stem from some Barbz’s opinions on their relationship. It’s not been the most shining example of celebrity pairings, thanks to Kenneth’s checkered past. Additionally, Nicki has had her lowlights as well, with her behavior online being a major point of contention. But regardless, it’s clear that this longtime couple is always ready to support each other when they need it. That is something no one can really knock, and we continue to wish them lots of love.
Nicki Minaj and Armon Wiggins recently clashed pretty heavily during a live session together, calling each other out for their “trash” music and going pretty hard at each other. The whole thing was kind of surprising because they were previously cool with each other for a period, but in the YouTuber’s attempts to provide some constructive criticism, he crossed a line for the Trinidadian femcee. As such, she went at his failed music career, and despite his laughter, she kept it fiery. Apparently, it all started because Wiggins shared his view that Nicki shouldn’t have put out her new song with Juice WRLD, presumably talking about the “All Girls Are The Same” reimagining.
But Nicki Minaj isn’t the only femcee that Armon Wiggins recently angered. “I’m not gonna keep letting somebody think that they can disrespect me, they can bully me and they can keep trying me,” Cardi B recently remarked on Twitter Spaces. “Especially when I have conversations with them, when I have conversations with them as an adult. ‘Cause if you don’t respect me being a f***ing adult, that means I gotta motherf***ing treat you how I motherf***ing treat people in the motherf***ing streets. And that is a motherf***ing fact.”
For those unaware, Armon Wiggins’ success in the content creation and female hip-hop drama space gets him in some hot water from time to time. For example, back when DJ Akademiks and former City Girls member Yung Miami were going at it online early in 2024, he was actually a big part of why they ended up going at each other in the first place. As such, Wiggins shouldn’t express surprise when femcees go particularly hard at him, even though that doesn’t excuse any sort of behavior either way.
At the end of the day, both individuals are very successful and should probably focus on other things rather than petty Internet conflicts. Nicki Minaj might not have been nominated for a Grammy this year, but that doesn’t mean she doesn’t have a lot of amazing music to continue to share with fans, promote, and celebrate. Hopefully there’s more coming soon!
But the song is just the top of the Juice Wrld’s musical vault iceberg. Yesterday (November 16), music executive tied to Juice Wrld previewed what is believed to be the musician’s final posthumous album, The Party Never Ends.
At ComplexCon Las Vegas 2024, special guests were treated to an advance listen of The Party Never Ends. For some time now, the forthcoming project has been teased online. But those who weren’t able to attend the event won’t have to wait long before they can enjoy the body of work.
According to a countdown shared on the late musician’s social media page (viewable here) The Party Never Ends has an official release date. based on the timer, the album is expected to be shared on November 29.
One fan page on X (formerly Twitter) alleges that during the listening party, attendees heard 15 tracks, all of which are rumored to appear on the album.
An upload by the page (viewable here), the account alleged that it could feature guest appearances by The Kid Laroi and Miley Cyrus.
Juice Wrld’s estate hasn’t confirmed any details surrounding The Party Never Ends. So, fans will need to hold a bit longer.
Juice WRLD was a prodigious talent. The rapper scored major hits during his lifetime. His impact on the music world is still being felt even after his death. The rapper’s estate has confirmed that there will be a final posthumous release coming this month. The first single features the Queen of rap herself, Nicki Minaj. Juice WRLD and Nicki may not seem like a combination that makes much sense on paper, but it actually works impressively well on “All Girls Are the Same 2 (Insecure).”
The instrumental is classic Juice WRLD. It’s spacey, bassy, and allows for the rapper’s vocals to weave in and out. Juice WRLD often had an echo effect applied to his vocals that made it seem as though he was projecting from a huge, empty room. And the decision to do so here is reminder of his unique voice. It’s a pretty melodic cut, overall, so it should come as no surprise that Nicki Minaj decides to take a more soft approach on her feature. She doesn’t drop an aggressive sixteen, but rather harmonizes with Juice in a way that compliments both of their voices. “AGATS2 (Insecure)” isn’t a mind-blowing Juice song, but it’s proof that there’s plenty of quality material that fans have yet to hear.
Let us know what you think of this brand-new track, in the comments section down below. Additionally, stay tuned to HNHH for the latest news and updates from around the music world. We will continue to keep you informed on all of your favorite artists and their upcoming projects.
I admit it, another ho got me finished Tryna serve heartbreak up like tennis F*ck sipping, I’ma codeine gargle Babysitter, she gon’ give my kids a swallow

Fans will also have the chance to celebrate Juice’s music in person with the fourth annual (and final) Juice WRLD Day at Chicago’s United Center on November 30, presented by Grade A Productions. The global celebration of life will include an exclusive listening experience, plus special guest performances and other surprises.
The original “All Girls Are the Same (Insecure)” introduced the globe to an artist whose impact would turn out to be nothing short of monumental. The vulnerable 2017 hit — an emo-rap archetype — has since been RIAA-certified 8x Platinum®, racking up over a billion streams on Spotify alone, while inspiring countless artists and fans alike to explore their feelings out in the open.
“All Girls Are the Same 2 (Insecure)” opens with a familiar refrain, “I admit it, another ho got me finished,” but nothing else is the same. Juice is a rock star now, singing with his chest out, voice fraying as he paints the scene: “Bad women, no-good bad women / Hotel rooms in Versace linens / Wake up in the morning screaming for some Advil / Last night, last night was too mad real.”
Echoing Juice’s vulnerability, Nicki sings throughout the song before sharing some bars and a final thought that seems to speak directly to her old friend: “Is there anyway, is there anyway / That you book a different plane and say you’ll stay?”
Juice WRLD made his debut in 2018 with the breakout single “All Girls Are The Same,” which doubled as the lead single from his debut album Goodbye & Good Riddance. While its follow-up, “Lucid Dreams,” ultimately became the bigger song, “All Girls…” became a signature song for the Chicago emo rapper, and a staple of fans’ fondest memories of him upon his death in 2019.
The latest posthumous release from Juice revisits that all-important milestone, as Juice reunites with former tourmate Nicki Minaj for “AGATS2 (Insecure),” which is a sequel to his debut song. The two rappers trade verses both rapping and singing in their trademark styles over an airy beat from Louis Bell, best known as the producer for some of Post Malone’s biggest hits, such as “Sunflower,” “Rockstar,” and “Circles.”
Juice and Nicki were previously heard together on “Money,” from Young Thug’s 2023 album Business Is Business, while Nicki paid tribute to Juice during her a Billboard Women In Music Game Changer Award acceptance speech shortly after he passed.
Juice has also posthumously appeared on a handful of tracks in the past year or so, including “Lace It” with Benny Blanco and Eminem, and “Doomsday” with Cordae from Lyrical Lemonade’s All Is Yellow.

Despite her significant impact on hip-hop, cultural influence, and status as one of the genre’s best-selling artists, Nicki Minaj remains absent from the list of Grammy Award winners. Minaj, who first broke into the mainstream with a vivid, lyrical style and boundary-pushing fashion in the late 2000s, has built a career that changed hip-hop’s landscape, yet a Grammy award still eludes her. For years, fans and critics alike have questioned why the Recording Academy has continuously overlooked her work, leading many to wonder if internal politics, genre bias, or shifting industry trends have played a role.
A Groundbreaking Career in Hip-Hop
Since her 2010 debut album Pink Friday, Minaj has set record after record, delivering chart-topping albums and hit singles that have remained staples in hip-hop. Known for her versatile style—seamlessly switching between rap, pop, and R&B—Minaj became one of the most influential female rappers of the 21st century. Her lyricism and delivery, marked by impressive wordplay and character-driven personas, have often been compared to legends like Lil Wayne and Jay-Z, both Grammy winners themselves.
Considered the people’s champ, Minaj has also broken numerous Billboard records, including being the first female rapper to sell over 100 million units across albums, singles, and features. Her influence has been recognized across award shows and ceremonies, with multiple MTV VMAs, BET Awards, and Billboard Music Awards. Despite such industry accolades, the Grammy has proven elusive.
Grammy Nominations Without Wins
Minaj has been nominated for a Grammy 10 times, starting with her Pink Friday nomination for Best New Artist in 2012, where she lost to Bon Iver. That same year, Pink Friday and its iconic single “Super Bass” earned additional nods but failed to secure any wins. Over the years, fan-favorite albums and singles like The Pinkprint, “Anaconda,” and “Chun-Li” have received nominations, but Minaj has walked away empty-handed each time.
Some believe that Minaj’s genre-crossing work may have hurt her chances. When an artist straddles the lines of hip-hop, pop, and R&B, they can be at a disadvantage in an awards landscape where categories are narrowly defined. Her 2011 Grammy performance of “Roman Holiday” also sparked controversy, which some speculate might have influenced Academy voters.
Industry Politics and the Grammy’s History with Hip-Hop
The Grammys have long been criticized for sidelining hip-hop and rap artists. Iconic figures such as Tupac Shakur, The Notorious B.I.G., and Snoop Dogg have either been ignored entirely or heavily under-awarded, with hip-hop categories often relegated to the pre-televised portion of the ceremony. This ongoing struggle between the Recording Academy and hip-hop artists has often led to accusations of bias.
Nicki herself has been outspoken about her treatment by the Academy. In 2020, she referenced her loss for Best New Artist, tweeting, “Never forget the Grammys didn’t give me my Best New Artist award when I had 7 songs simultaneously charting on Billboard & a bigger first week than any female rapper in the last decade—went on to inspire a generation.” Her comments align with sentiments shared by other hip-hop artists who feel the Grammys continue to misunderstand or undervalue hip-hop’s contributions.
Changing Standards, Yet No Wins
Over the years, Minaj has watched new artists in hip-hop—some of whom she influenced—receive Grammy wins early in their careers. For instance, Cardi B’s win for Invasion of Privacy and Megan Thee Stallion’s 2021 Grammy victories sparked intense conversations around whether Minaj’s groundbreaking achievements were overlooked in favor of fresh faces.
With her legacy cemented in hip-hop history, Minaj continues to release music and break records, undeterred by the lack of a Grammy. Fans and fellow artists frequently rally around her, pointing to her achievements, chart successes, and cultural influence as proof that the Grammy should be a matter of when, not if. Until that day, however, Minaj’s absence from Grammy winners’ lists will remain a glaring omission in the Recording Academy’s legacy with hip-hop.
