North West Channels Nicki Minaj In New TikTok Showcasing Her Makeup Skills

by

Nicki Minaj has been a hot topic in the news for the past few days, mostly due to her dramatic reaction to Megan Thee Stallion’s “HISS” single. The Queen of Rap has been busy liking tweets slandering the Houston native and others supporting her, while The Barbz stand behind their favourite femcee. Minaj’s fanbase went so far as to doxx the information for Thee Stallion’s late mother’s gravesite, leading Cardi B’s fans to step up in the “Big Ole Freak” hitmaker’s defense, doing the same with Nicki’s dad’s cemetery location. With so much tension in the air, social media users have been carefully selecting which songs and audio snippets they use in their posts, so as not to take sides. Interestingly, 10-year-old North West used a soundbite of Minaj in one of her most recent TikToks, which now has the internet talking.

“I don’t think you understand, I’m obsessed,” the tween mouths along with the “Barbie Dreams” artist in the video below. Seeing as her mother, Kim Kardashian, is something of a makeup mogul, it’s not surprising to see Miss Westie already following in her footsteps. However, instead of perfecting a smokey eye and nude lip like the reality starlet, North is channeling her inner Alien Superstar.

Kimye’s eldest covered her face and neck in hot pink facepaint while experimenting, also making her eyebrows stand out with a darker shade of the same colour. Her lips were a beautiful ombre with various shades of purple, and subtle false lashes helped her brown eyes stand out.

Even if Ye doesn’t fully approve, his firstborn continues to express herself and her various talents on TikTok for the world to see. Speaking of Yeezy, he shocked fans by reuniting with ex-wife Kim Kardashian for a night out with North West and her friends last month.

Juicy J Picks Megan Thee Stallion Over Nicki Minaj, Co-Signs “HISS”

by

Juicy J has seemingly taken a side in the beef between Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion, although it’s not an overt line in the sand. Still, there are very little other ways to interpret his support on Twitter of the latter’s newest single “HISS,” which is what ignited this outright battle in the first place. However, it wasn’t the song to start this spat, as the two sent subliminal shots at each other long before Queen Barb retaliated with “Big Foot.” You can also argue that this fiery revisit mostly owed itself to Nicki’s response to the “Megan’s Law” bar seemingly referencing her husband’s sex offender status, but that could apply as a general line in a lot of circumstances.

Furthermore, Juicy J didn’t like a tweet shading Nicki Minaj, retweet a disparaging comment, or say anything about the beef specifically. He simply quote-tweeted “Let’s go!” on a promotional video and thankful message from Megan Thee Stallion for fans’ support, encouraging them to keep watching the music video and listening to the track. For those unaware, the Three 6 Mafia legend and the Houston superstar have collaborated often in the past, such as 2019’s “Three Point Stance” with additional support from the City Girls. As such, this respect between collaborators is hardly surprising.

Juicy J Is A Fan Of Megan Thee Stallion’s Nicki Minaj-Targeting Track “HISS”

Another example came as recently as last August, when Megan Thee Stallion and Juicy J filmed a TikTok together. Regardless of that bond, he didn’t really ever outwardly diss or suggest any animosity with Nicki Minaj, another MC that he worked with in the past on tracks like 2014’s “Low” with Lil Bibby and Young Thug. With that in mind, we don’t think this endorsement is anti-Roman, but rather just an artist supporting another. Perhaps there’s more behind-the-scenes tea about this that we’re still not privy to.

Meanwhile, “HISS” is on the path to massive success, on pace to cinch Meg’s first solo number one hit. “Big Foot” is doing very well too, though, and once both tracks have been out for a full week, we can really break down the numbers. Do you think Juicy J has the pull to turn the tide?

Is Nicki Minaj’s Wild Barbz Fanbase Out Of Control?

by

Many celebrities tout their own unique cult following of loyal consumers who would go above and beyond to defend them. Unfortunately, the modern era of social media and parasocial relationships has led some famous people to surround themselves with obsequious yes-men who will insatiably do their bidding, no matter how absurd. One such example is Nicki Minaj’s so-called “Barbz.”

The Barbz actively employ threats and online harassment to aggressively target Nicki’s enemies and critics. At times, they have gone so far as to doxx the personal information and whereabouts of those who speak negatively about their femcee queen. With the latest headlines once again maligning Nicki Minaj and her band of crazed fans, it begs the question: are Nicki Minaj’s Barbz the most dangerous fan base in all of music?

The Barbz Have Doxxed Megan Thee Stallion’s Deceased Mother

In a move that truly sounds impossible to accomplish, Nicki Minaj’s fans have successfully doxxed a dead woman. In a vehement response to the ongoing rap feud between Nicki and Megan Thee Stallion, the Barbz have gone to the extent of researching and uncovering the location of Meg’s mother’s burial plot. Some fans have issued threats to show up at the site, hinting at unsavory acts of vandalism.

The cemetery security has been notified of this ongoing breach and has pledged to maintain a watchful eye over the plot as the story continues to unfold. Megan’s mother tragically passed away from cancer in 2019, and has nothing to do with the ongoing exchange of words between Nicki Minaj and her daughter which recently culminated in tracks such as “Hiss” and “Big Foot.”

Clearly, this is twisted behavior that should unequivocally be condemned by any artist, though Nicki Minaj has a long and unfortunate history of whipping her fans into a fervor like this and letting them loose, or even actively encouraging them to engage with their worst impulses. While Megan’s family is the most recent example of this trend, they are far from the first victims of the Barbz’s toxic ire.

This Is Not The First Incident With The Rapper’s Fans

I’m sorry Nicki fans, please leave my family alone. I took the video down.

Several victims of Nicki Minaj’s Barbz have taken to social media to inform the public that they have lawyered up against the ravenous fans, after suffering harassment similar to that of Megan Thee Stallion in years past. While some famous people such as Lil Kim have faced the ire of rabid fans, many victims of the Barbz include random teenagers voicing their distaste for the rapper on social media. Many onlookers have even taken to comparing the Barbz to the crazed central character Dre from the Prime Video series Swarm.

Swarm was created by Donald Glover and Janine Nabors to illustrate the wild lengths some fans will go to in order to impress their favorite musician. The show features a crazed fan who locates and brutally murders members of the public who take to social media to voice criticism of her favorite singer, Ni’Jah. While the show primarily draws real-world parallels to the fan base of Beyoncé, it seems that Nicki Minaj and her Barbz are far more deserving of the title at this time.

Nicki’s fans have brigaded subreddit communities, turned out in droves to cyberbully autistic TikTok users, and even ganged up to launch a widespread attack on her husband’s sexual assault victim, in a disgusting display of toxicity. Hopefully, Nicki will come to her senses and gain control over her over-protective fans quickly before they spiral out of control on another unsuspecting critic. With all this toxicity and horrifying behavior, the Barbz are genuinely a dangerous fanbase.

Nicki Minaj Has A Warning For Lyor Cohen And YouTube

by

Nicki Minaj’s “Big Foot,” the infamous Megan Thee Stallion diss, is doing pretty well commercially… but not as well as the Queen demands. Moreover, she recently hosted a Twitter Spaces conversation with Joe Budden on Wednesday (January 31), during which she made some very wide-ranging claims. One of these was the Trinidadian superstar’s belief that the Houston MC wanted “a Rihanna moment” with her testimony about the Tory Lanez trial. In other words, Megan wanted undue sympathy for abuse, she posited, which stirred up a lot of controversy from fans and detractors alike. Regardless, Nicki thinks much of this negative reception is false.

Furthermore, among many other industry big-shots, she took aim at Lyor Cohen, a music executive who has been YouTube’s Global Head of Music since 2016. Specifically, Nicki Minaj accused him of allowing or implementing bots on her content to sabotage the success of “Big Foot” or paint it in a bad light, perhaps through negative comments or other metrics. “We have screenshots of the YouTube bots, it’s cr*zy,” she remarked during the Spaces conversation. “Lyor, you better not… Lyor, don’t play with me, n***a. I hope you ain’t around that company no more right now.”

The First Lady of Young Money didn’t stop there, as she also made similar claims against Twitter and TikTok about how fake backlash and criticism is being amplified as a sabotaging method. While she didn’t provide any direct evidence of this, it’s become a common narrative across her recent rants, particularly directed against Megan Thee Stallion. This is nothing new for Nicki Minaj or her Barbz to reckon with, and part of why it’s a prevailing sentiment is because she finds so much overwhelming support from her fanbase that everything else seems moot. But don’t get it twisted: she’s still the biggest female rapper right now, and one of the biggest of all time.

As such, perhaps these complaints will quickly meet folks’ disapproval or ridicule. Still, as “HISS” builds up momentum for a No. 1 debut on Billboard, its response track “Big Foot” reportedly falls behind. But is that due to “bots” or people’s own reaction to the track’s quality and impact? Unfortunately for us, perhaps we’ll never really know… With that in mind, check back in with HNHH for the latest news and updates on Nicki Minaj.

Nicki Minaj Slammed by Fans for Saying Megan Thee Stallion Aimed to Have a ‘Rihanna Moment’

Nicki Minaj Accounces her own record label

Yup, you guessed it. Nicki Minaj is still going. The leader of the Barbz hopped into Joe Budden’s Spaces session on Twitter, where she ruffled the fans’ feathers after stating Megan Thee Stallion tried to have a “Rihanna moment.” You can hear it below.

And that didn’t sit well with the Internet, blasting Nicki for making the comparison.

Nicki Minaj Is Still Insulting Megan Thee Stallion, And This Time, It’s A Rant Involving Rihanna And YouTube Bots

Somehow Nicki Minaj has not run out of things to say about Megan Thee Stallion. The pair’s beef escalated when Meg seemed to diss Minaj’s husband, Kenneth Petty, on her new single, “Hiss.” Minaj responded quickly with a diss track, “Big Foot,” where Minaj ruthlessly attacks Megan Thee Stallion’s personal and professional struggles of late.

On Tuesday, January 30, TMZ reported that security had been increased at the gravesite of Megan’s late mother, Holly Thomas, after its location was shared online (reportedly by the Barbz). You would think that would be nowhere to go with this after that, but Minaj then hopped on Joe Budden’s X (formerly Twitter) Spaces on Wednesday, January 31.

HipHopDX captured portions of Minaj’s rant in the Space. It’s dizzying, to say the least, and nobody can be blamed for not comprehending a word Minaj said, but we will attempt a summary.

Minaj questioned how Megan could be “twerking two days later,” referencing when the since-convicted Tory Lanez shot Megan Thee Stallion in the feet in July 2020. “First of all, emotionally — even emotionally — you just got shot,” Minaj said while cackling, and then clumsily stumbled into “what really grinded my f*cking gears,” which was that a producer bragged on social media about “not clearing a beat for Nicki Minaj.”

That led into a complaint about YouTube bots, Twitter ads, longtime music executive Lyor Cohen, and “the paid for TikToks, the paid for tweets, to the point where people got their little $250 for they tweet to say something bad about Nicki Minaj.” TLDR: Minaj alleged “a smear campaign” against her by people who believe she’s “crazy.”

Eventually, Minaj got back to Megan Thee Stallion, comparing how she handled her trauma from Lanez shooting her versus Rihanna’s domestic violence at the hands of Chris Brown.

“Rihanna is just known for being herself,” Minaj said. “You get what you see. You see what you get, you get what you see type of vibe, right? […] That’s what we know Ri as. Rihanna never would milk something like this. Like, you could tell she couldn’t wait to get that part of her life — you could tell she couldn’t wait to just try to move on with her life. You understand?”

Minaj continued, “And then, people even bashed her for not dragging it out, not milking it. And she was just like, ‘Yo, I was mad young. We were young. I just wanna move on with my life now.’ You know why? Because Rihanna knows that she was a superstar, with or without controversy. She’s beautiful, with or without controversy. She’s loved, with or without controversy. I’m sorry — sympathy. Sympathy, sympathy, sympathy.”

Local Authorities Provide Extra Security to Gravesite of Megan Thee Stallion’s Mother Amid Nicki Minaj Beef

As Nicki Minaj continues to tweet away and promote her Megan Thee Stallion diss “Big Foot,” extra protection is brought into Hot Girl Meg’s mother’s gravesite.

According to TMZ, a cemetery in Texas is working with local authorities to increase security around the resting place of Holly Thomas. Thomas died of brain cancer in 2019.

Currently, nothing has happened to the gravesite, but the leaking of the location by the Barbz is being taken as a credible threat.

Nicki referred to Megan’s moom in “Big Foot” but noted it was due to referencing her family in the “Hiss” record.

Nicki Minaj’s Father’s Cemetery Location Doxxed By Cardi B Fans

by

Nicki Minaj hasn’t taken her foot off the gas since hearing what Megan Thee Stallion had to say on her “HISS” diss track. Some watching are feeling concerned for the Trinidadian as she continues to rant on various social media platforms. Still, she remains determined to “get even” with her fellow femcee, sharing a hateful song of her own called “Big Foot.” To make matters worse, while Meg didn’t mention Minaj by name on her record, the latter’s latest song name-drops Thee Stallion multiple times and names others she’s previously been affiliated with.

Internet users have been picking sides over the past few days, and while Kris Jenner was happy to hear her name on “HISS,” other stars are standing behind the Queen of Rap’s “Big Foot.” Besides the new music hitting DSPs, Barbz and Hotties have been going at it online non-stop. Recently, Cardi B’s listeners, the Bardi Gang, have joined in, standing up for Thee Stallion after Minaj’s followers doxxed the location of the Houston-born artist’s mother’s grave.

As a result of this, security efforts at the late Mrs. Pete’s gravesite have been amped up to protect her and Megan’s family. At the same time, one of Cardi’s listeners appears to have shared where the late Robert Maraj’s body lies in Utica, New York. When one of the mother of one’s fans reposted the blurred out screenshot, they speculated, “Nicki Minaj will never get a sympathy article tho.”

Even as tensions continue to rise between Barbz, Hotties, and the Bardi Gang, Megan Thee Stallion maintains a laser-sharp focus on this next chapter of her career. Following “HISS,” the Houston native announced her plans for a new album and accompanying tour coming soon.

Nicki Minaj Nabs Another Record-Breaking Achievement With “Big Foot”

by

Nicki Minaj’s new Megan Thee Stallion diss track is doing very well, and if nothing else, at least this beef is bringing these femcees a lot of commercial success. Moreover, the Trinidadian MC recently took to social media to bask in her latest broken record. “Big Foot” officially claims the biggest Spotify debut for a solo song from a female rapper in 2024. “O….my… I’m really happy about breaking this record, you guys,” she captioned a new Instagram post celebrating the accolade. “This is SOOOOOOOOOOO unbelievable, yo. THANK YOU. LOVE YOU. #PinkFriday2 #BigFoot. Dear #BARBZ, you are loved & adored & appreciated & admired & absolutely amazing. I’m not even kidding I love you & thank you so much. If you only knew.”

However, in the comments section of this post, you will see a lot of people trashing Nicki Minaj’s “Big Foot,” as well as plenty of praise. Still, a lot of the most engaged-with comments are about how this song is disappointing or about how she’s crashing out. While we can’t make these judgements this early into the spat, it’s fair to say that these sides manifested well before either artist chose to attack on wax. As such, it’s hard to find a corner on the Internet where there isn’t equal parts love and hate for the two, and since we’re talking about rap beef, neither rapper should lament that.

Nicki Minaj Celebrates The Biggest Spotify Song Debut For A Solo Femcee In 2024

But the question still stands: who’s winning, Nicki Minaj or Megan Thee Stallion? The latter still hasn’t responded to the former with a song, which might be an automatic loss for many. Regardless, there are also plenty of people who think the Houston hitmaker won outright with her “Megan’s Law” line, even if that also brought up its own controversy around its namesake’s history and Meg’s use of it. Let us know what you think on that debate down in the comments below.

Meanwhile, we’re sure both superstars will continue to celebrate the success of their tracks, but the fan jury’s still out. It’s been 24 hours without an apology from Megan to her mother, and the Barbz’s leader still hasn’t made “s**t uglier than KenBarbie” as threatened. Will we ever wrap this up in a nice bow or is this where the buck stops? To find out, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on Nicki Minaj.
