Drake References Kendrick Lamar During Surprise Concert Appearance

by

Drake was the most talked-about man on the internet on April 30. Kendrick Lamar made sure of it. The Compton rapper dropped the monstrous diss record “Euphoria,” which left no stone unturned in terms of taking Drake to task. Fans were floored, but Drizzy is not letting the hype get to him. At least, not on the surface. The “Jimmy Cooks” rapper decided to surprise fans during the Toronto leg of Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 Tour. The rap stars had fun onstage before Drake teased the next chapter in the Kendrick Lamar saga.

Drake’s appearance was likely, given the the show was in his city, but it was not guaranteed. Minaj has had plenty of tour dates in which the 6 God hasn’t appeared due to scheduling conflicts. Minaj brought him out and made sure to give him his flowers. “Make some noise for the king, Toronto,” she said during an embrace. “Make some noise for this icon, this legend.” The duo performed their latest collaboration, “Needle,” for the very first time. Drake was then given solo time onstage to perform one of his current hits, “Rich Baby Daddy.”

Drake Alluded To K. Dot As He Left The Stage

Drizzy reciprocated the love that Minaj and the Barbz showed him. “Toronto make some noise for the greatest female rapper of all time,” he announced. “Nicki, I love you.” The love fest came to an end as Drake left the stage, however. The rapper walked off while assuring fans that he has some business to take care of with Lamar. “You know what time it is,” he assured the fans. “You know what I gotta do.”

Both Drake and Minaj are currently involved in rap battles. Drake has taken on Kendrick Lamar, while Minaj has been swapping disses with Megan Thee Stallion. The battles have played out in strangely similar ways. Lamar’s “Like That” and Megan’s “Hiss” both topped the Billboard Hot 100, with many citing them as the favorites to win their respective battles. Drake and Minaj have dropped disses in response, but neither release managed to chart as high as their competitors (yet, at least).

Regardless, fans can take solace in the fact that the Young Money icons are still on good terms.

Coi Leray Resolved Nicki Minaj Beef In Private, She Claims

by

Coi Leray and Nicki Minaj are former collaborators who, at one point in their careers, experienced a little bit of tension. Moreover, fans brought up this alleged history again when the former started to speak on the allegedly fabricated nature of female rap beefs pushed by record labels. “Most of these female rappers not even from the same places !!!! Not from the same hoods….why are we beefing?” she wrote on Twitter. “Most of them like you, do it to get Nicki minaj support and then when she turns on you.. you don’t have any support from any fan base,” a user replied.

“Yall so stupid,” Coi Leray claimed concerning the alleged Nicki Minaj beef. “Me and Nicki spoke behind the scenes, personally, and I never brought that to the public. Business ain’t work out, that’s okay. I still wish her nothing but the best and blick blick is one of the greatest videos that will be in history.” In the comments section of the post below, you will see fans claim that tensions between them rose when Nicki released “We Go Up” with Fivio Foreign, which Coi allegedly thought was an attempt to sabotage her after releasing their collaboration, “Blick Blick.”

Of course, the nature of this is pretty muddy and speculative, and it became corny to tie every little thing in femcee beef back to Nicki Minaj a long time ago. Also, the alleged issues with Coi Leray, or rather vice versa, weren’t really super well-documented or backed up by any significant evidence or even supposed shade. The closest confirmation that we got to anything concrete was Nicki’s confirmation that she almost canceled the collab when Benzino, Coi’s father, spoiled it early. But they cleared out all their issues privately, and it left fans with some more questions.

Meanwhile, the “Can’t Come Back” creative will likely continue to draw these connections in the femcee world. She’s been very outspoken on how she’s fallen victim to these alleged label games and how she wants to promote more female unity moving forward. Maybe Coi Leray and Nicki Minaj will collaborate again sometime in the future, and expand their list of team-ups with other female rappers. Only time will tell, but we can all agree on shedding past mistakes to foster more important goals.

According to New Jersey rapper Coi Lerai, mainstream record labels are the culprit in female Hip Hop rap beef and her beef with Nicki Minaj is not what it appeared to be to the public.

This past weekend, the “Players” emcee took to X(also known as Twitter) to share her feelings about the cause and effect of female rappers having beef in and out of the recording booth.

“Idk if you ask me it seem like these labels are behind the female controversy,” she tweeted. “They see it helps push the music , I wouldn’t be surprised if they the ones behind the fan pages.” She continued, “Most of these female rappers not even from the same places !!!! Not from the same hoods….why are we beefing?”

An X user commented on her second tweet, referencing her past issue with Nicki Minaj, saying, “Most of them like you, do it to get Nicki minaj support and then when she turns on you.. you don’t have any support from any fan base.” Lerai’s response? “Yall so stupid. me and Nicki spoke behind the scenes, personally, and I never brought that to the public . Business ain’t work out, that’s okay. I still wish her nothing but the best and blick blick is one of the greatest videos that will be in history.”

n 2022, Leray and Nicki joined forces on “Blick Blick,” but the journey to the song’s release was anything but smooth — in fact, it almost didn’t happen at all.

During a brief Q&A with her Twitter followers that year, the Queens native revealed that she pulled the plug on the collab after her peer’s father, rapper and Former Source Magazine EIC Benzino, ruined the surprise by announcing the song ahead of time.

“I did pull it,” Nicki replied to a fan asking her about her feature verse on the record. “But the label hit me going hard. But rlly I had a private convo w|coi & that’s what changed my mind. Not the label.” She added, “I just felt bad that she was robbed of telling the world in her own way @ her own time. But that’s water under the bridge now. Good vibes all 2022.”

Nicki Minaj Treated A ‘Pink Friday 2 World Tour’ Concertgoer To Their Own Medicine After They Tossed Something At The Rapper Onstage

Nicki Minaj and Cardi B may not see eye to eye, but they do agree on one thing — disrespectful concertgoers should be dealt with immediately.

Yesterday (April 20), during Nicki’s Pink Friday 2 World Tour stop in Detroit, Michigan, an attendee attempted to ruin the event for everyone. As Nicki rapped her crossover hit “Starships” (despite vowing never perform it anymore), a ticket holder seemingly tossed an object at the musician.

Fortunately, the item didn’t make contact with Nicki. Instead, she blocked the trinket, then she hurled it back in the direction that it was thrown from. In the clip captured by a bystander, venue security was seen working their way to the section in question. However, it is unclear if the culprit was tracked down. The show continued without any further interruption.

At another point of the concert, Nicki surprised fans with a few guest cameos. To pay homage to the Motor City, she brought out two rappers from the city. One of those musicians was none other than hometown hero Big Sean. The duo performed their 2011 “Dance (Ass)” Remix.

Fellow Detroit native, Sada Baby, made his way onto the stage for a performance of his 2020 single “Whole Lotta Choppas.” Nicki was sure to deliver her viral verse from the song’s remix for all to recite back to her.

Nicki Minaj hasn’t addressed the incident online. So, all’s well that ends well.

Chris Brown Fans React To His Feature On “FTCU (Sleeze Mix)” With Nicki Minaj, Travis Scott & Sexyy Red

by

Nicki Minaj’s “FTCU (Sleeze Mix),” produced by ATL Jacob and Southside, has a lot of dynamism to it. There’s a patient and cold performance from Red Ruby, a wavy and versatile showing from Travis Scott, and a confidently aloof appearance from Sexyy Red. However, a lot of folks on social media think that the best part of this new remix was Chris Brown’s lewd and luxurious rap verse, especially existing fans of Breezy. But a lot of folks also expressed surprise at the belief that he out-rapped the other MCs on this cut, and while that’s obviously up for debate, it was a nice move from him considering his typically R&B and pop-centric appeal.

Of course, plenty of fans were quick to point out that the Virginia native has always made rap music, and has often showed off his skills in the art form. In fact, he was just recently in some rap beef with Quavo, so he continues to check all the hip-hop boxes. Nevertheless, Chris Brown definitely had some standout bars here worthy of stacking up with established writers like Nicki Minaj. Through plenty of charisma and a flow switch, he also fits in really well with Travis Scott and Sexyy Red’s contributions.

Elsewhere, the 34-year-old is actually giving fans a lot of material to chew on these days, so it’s no wonder that all this excitement is translating from news item to news item. After all, he recently dropped the deluxe version of his album 11:11, which contains a lot of tracks and some highlights for fans who haven’t been able to get enough of it for the past week. As such, Chris Brown is probably having a pretty good time right now, and has a lot of momentum to keep up with what might be a big 2024 for him. There’s also a tour on the cards for this year, which is also keeping die-hards ecstatic. Check out some of their reactions to this verse below.

Fan Reactions To Breezy’s “FTCU” Verse

Nicki Minaj’s Star-Studded “FTCU (Sleeze Mix)” Laps The Original

by

Nicki Minaj is on a high at the moment. The rapper’s Pink Friday 2 album was a success, and the accompanying tour has been even bigger. Minaj is currently on the highest-grossing tour ever by a female rapper, and to celebrate she’s dropped off a remix to “FTCU.” The original version of the song was a standout on Pink Friday 2, with its bass-heavy instrumental and Minaj’s ferocious delivery. The remix, however, takes it to a whole new level. “FTCU (Sleeze Mix)” is an upgrade from the original.

“FTCU (Sleeze Mix)” works so well because the simple production allows room for Minaj to share the spotlight with her superstar guests. She really brought the heavy hitters on this one, as the remix has verses from Chris Brown, Travis Scott and Sexxy Red. Minaj and Brown have collaborated many times over the years, but Scott is an unexpected inclusion. Scott and Minaj had beef back in 2018, when the latter accused Scott of using bundle deals to outsell her Queen album. It appears things are cool now, which is a plus for fans. Both Brown and Scott deliver here, yet it’s Sexxy Red who steals the show.

Minaj is returning the favor after Sexxy Red enlisted her for the remix of “Pound Town 2.” Their styles work well in tandem, and Red’s singular flow adds a different splash of color to the “FTCU” instrumental. “Pound Town 2” peaked at number two on the Billboard Hot 100, and given the star power involved here, its easy to envision a world where “FTCU (Sleeze Mix)” does just as well.

What are your thoughts on this brand-new song, “FTCU (Sleeze Mix)” by Nicki Minaj, Chris Brown, Travis Scott and Sexxy Red? Does Minaj’s beefed up version of the song top the original? Will this be a song of the summer candidate? Who do you think had the best verse? We want to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section.

Nicki Minaj Claims Late Concert Start In Montreal Was Due To This Malicious Reason

by

As is expected for any massive trek, Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 world tour hasn’t been without its hiccups here and there. Still, she and her team have been able to work through them gracefully and effectively, leading to overall praised performances and a consistent run that’s been able to handle technical and logistical problems well. However, the Trinidadian superstar insinuated on Twitter on Wednesday night (April 17) that something more malicious was taking place to “sabotage” her concerts. For those unaware, she arrived later than expected at her Montreal show that night due to flight delays and cancellations, plus processes upon arrival that she explains in the tweet below.

“Yesterday my flight scheduled for midnight shut their plane down @ 12:58pm,” Nicki Minaj tweeted. “Never in 15 years have I heard of anything like that. A 70K G4 and thought we were going to PAY THEM for that flight as well as whatever flight I’d have to get on next. They thought wrong.

“Today, we asked if we could leave at 1pm,” Nicki Minaj continued. “They said no, we could leave at 3pm. Then they said that won’t work, we’d need to leave at 5pm. ?!?!!!!! Yup. For a 930pm show in Canada. When we got to the plane, they then said they were ‘STILL FUELING’. At 630pm, they said they were ‘still fueling’ (for an hour & a half flight) When we did get to Canada, they did a bunch of stuff they didn’t do the last 2 times I came for the OVO FEST. They started searching through my personal purses. Usually they take me to the car with my purses & check the bigger luggage. Nope. Not this time.

More Nicki Tweets

“They know I have a show, they know we’re 20 mins away. They know we don’t have a police escort. The sabotage be real but GOD IS REALER,” she concluded. “I’ll be on stage in 15 mins. Barbz, I can’t wait to see you. We’re going to have a magical night. Love you. My apologies. I’m going to get to the bottom of this when I get off stage.” “Like I SAID. A MAGICAL F&$!NG SHOW!!!!!!!!!!!” the 41-year-old wrote on the social media platform after the show was over. “#GagCityMontreal was ABSOLUTE PERFECTION!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! From START to FINISH. HAHAHHAAAAAAAAABWAHAHAHA!!!!! YOU CAN’T STOP ME YOU WILL NEVER STOP ME ALL YOU’LL do is CURSE YOURSELF!!!!!! You ain’t know?!?!!! Well watch.” For more news and the latest updates on Nicki Minaj, come back to HNHH.

plea deal Nicki Minaj Kenneth Petty LA

Rapper Nicki Minaj’s husband, Kenneth ‘Zoo’ Petty, has been granted permission by a federal judge to accompany his wife on the European leg of her Pink Friday 2 World Tour. The decision comes amidst a legal battle stemming from Petty’s failure to register as a sex offender after relocating to California.

Court documents obtained by Radar Online reveal that Petty’s request to travel with Minaj has been approved, allowing him to join her for tour dates from April 17, 2024, to July 14, 2024. This ruling marks a significant development in Petty’s ongoing legal saga, as he faces charges related to his failure to comply with sex offender registration requirements.

The decision to allow Petty to accompany Minaj on tour raises questions about whether authorities will actively enforce his travel privileges. Given the nature of his legal situation, it remains to be seen whether law enforcement will monitor Petty’s movements closely during his time abroad.

Minaj and Petty, who share a toddler son, have faced scrutiny and controversy surrounding their relationship and Petty’s criminal history. Despite the chatter, the couple continues to navigate their personal and professional lives amidst public scrutiny.

Kenneth Perry Requests Court Permission To Go On Pink Friday 2 World Tour

by
plea deal Nicki Minaj Kenneth Petty LA

According to court docs obtained by TMZ, Nicki Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty, is asking a court for permission to travel out of the country so he can join her on tour in Europe … and he says he’ll be needed overseas.

Perry says he isn’t just looking to globe-trot with Nicki for fun — on the contrary, he says it’s necessary to join her on the European leg of her “Pink Friday 2” world tour for a bunch of reasons, mainly to provide childcare for their son.

The start date he lists for the anticipated travel schedule is April 17, 2024 … and he says there will be stops in Canada, Sweden, Denmark, Germany, France, the United Kingdom, Austria, Ireland, Switzerland, and Romania.

Petty says he plans to be back in the U.S. by July 14, 2024, right after the tour wraps up — and is hoping for a green light to join his wife. According to the court documents, his probation officer hasn’t raised any objections to his travel request. However, if Kenneth’s request gets approved, he’ll likely need to provide the officer with a detailed travel itinerary and also check in once he’s back.

As previously reported, Kenneth is currently serving three years probation for failing to register as a sex offender in California. If a judge doesn’t sign off on the request, Perry will not be joining his wife on her world tour.
