Safaree made a controversial maneuver this past weekend by popping out to supportNicki Minaj. She is currently in the midst of her Gag City Reloaded portion of the extensive Pink Friday 2 tour. Video of her ex surfaced online, and it went viral. The artist and TV personality was having the time of his life dancing to the Queen of New York’s hits. He even voiced his love for Nicki on X (Twitter), saying, “I’m proud no cap… a lot of yalll will never understand but there is no malice in me… I’m proud.” The former partners had a pretty nasty and tumultuous fall out, especially after the breakup.
But it seems like Safaree is trying to turn a new leaf. He did recently say he’s trying to live life in a new lense, as he expressed that, “I want to start giving back more.” As we hinted earlier, fans, especially of Nicki’s, were pretty upset/annoyed with the co-producer. However, there was also quite a nice number of people that were happy that Safaree was happy. “Some people can’t even get that level of support from phony family members. I’m here for it Life is too short to be a pressed hater,” one IG user stated.
Now, Minaj’s sister, Ming Li, is weighing in on the situation, according to Live Bitez. Li hopped on what appears to be an Instagram Live session while at a salon. She answered some random questions, while even speaking on her new dog that she’s naming after her talented sis. Shoving that to the side, though, Li gave her two cents on Safaree showing up, and all she could really do was giggle about it. “Safaree was cuttin’ up yesterday, hell yeah he was [tee-hees]. I saw that. That s*** was funny [tee-hees].” She seems to not have a problem with it overall, and neither did Nicki on Sunday because she brought out her current boo Kenneth Petty during the performance.

As Sean “Diddy” Combs’ racketeering and sex trafficking case continues to stun the entertainment industry, it has also given Jaguar Wright a new spotlight. The veteran singer has been a whistleblower—of sorts—for those who lean into audacious and unsubstantiated rumors. It isn’t difficult to find an interview of Wright poised on a couch, chatting about the alleged ills she’s witnessed throughout her career—or, at the very least, things she’s learned through private investigators or the grapevine. Further, there isn’t a name that’s safe from Wright’s stories that include tales of sex abuse, trafficking, drug use, violence, and intimidation. Her allegations take aim at some of the most influential players in the game, and often, Wright expounds on Diddy’s Bad Boy empire.
Some have questioned why Wright hasn’t been sued over her allegations. Others don’t believe that she has as much intimate knowledge of her peers as she presents. Still, enough people have tuned in, including Piers Morgan, who recently invited the singer to his show. While there, not only did she once again mention Puff, but she also included Shawn Carter, better known as Jay-Z. Wright has accused Hov of shady and violent dealings, and Diddy’s arrest has only amplified her exposure to the masses.
“For four years, I’ve been screaming not just Diddy, but Diddy and Jay-Z are monsters, and the victim-making machine kept going on,” said Wright. Morgan wanted to know why Wright believed Jay has remained tight-lipped about Combs’ case. “Because that’s what he does,” Wright answered. “He starts little fires everywhere and forces everyone to carry water while he sneaks away without a response. That changes now, Shawn. You must respond, you have no choice. Harvey Weinstein, Jeffrey Epstein, Robert Kelly, Sean Combs have one person in common professionally and privately: Shawn Carter.”
It is very clear that Wright isn’t afraid to speak her mind, whether or not the public believes her. Moreover, her ongoing interviews over the years have made for viral moments, adding themselves to Hip Hop infamy. However, some, like DJ Vlad of VladTV, don’t believe the hype. He told Piers Morgan that he thinks of Wright as a conspiracy theorist and wouldn’t invite her to his platform. Regardless, there always seems to be a media outlet poised to chat with Wright, and we’ve gathered a few outrageous allegations she’s made about rumors surrounding Diddy, his freak-off parties, and celebrity dealings.
Jaguar Wright Says She Has Been To Diddy’s Freak-Off Parties
According to Wright, she hasn’t just heard about what goes on at Diddy’s rumored “freak-off” parties—she’s attended them herself. During her chat with Morgan, Wright called the music mogul “one of the most dangerous people” she’s “ever met.” She also referred to Combs as “the devil,” claiming he has been wreaking havoc on the industry “for 30 years.” Wright also alleged rituals would take place, people were drugged, and some sex workers who attended the events wore secret cameras. Further, Wright explosively claimed, “I have my own tapes. I see what they do… Putting girls into suitcases. Dumping them in alleyways. It’s horrifying.”
“We got to stop making Diddys,” Wright added. “And if we’re going to do that, then we got to go back. We got to go back to even further: the mentors of these people. Because Diddy was taught how to do what he does systematically, and Clive Davis has been his greatest teacher.”
Alleges Nicki Minaj Has A Video Of Meek Mill & Diddy
After a viral audio clip circulated online, Meek Mill’s name was linked to gossip about Diddy’s alleged nefarious deeds. The sound was of two people, alleged to be men, having a sexual encounter. In an interview with RealLyfe Productions, an outlet that Wright regularly visits, the singer touched on the controversy. Wright alleged that it was Nicki Minaj who leaked the audio because the femcee supposedly had the actual video footage.
“He’s a f*cking fruit loop, he Diddy-fied. He’s a deep-fried f*ggot, period,” said Wright. “F*ck Meek, real rap. Yeah, that was f*cking him. F*cking Nicki put that sh*t out to hear. Goddamn Nicki recorded that at the freak-off in Calabasas. She been waiting to drop that sh*t on Meek.” Wright accused Minaj of hiding that it was Diddy on the tape; however, Meek refuted the allegations. He purported that he was being targeted because of his success and influence.
My voice so powerful as a black man from the ghetto worldwide they want it gone! Ima real king straight out the trenches under control of no human… they learned how to damage “can’t stop us” of brands from bots and campaigns like politicians! pic.twitter.com/pMwRuqPoWY
Accused Diddy Of Being Responsible For Kim Porter’s Death
Although Wright isn’t the only person who has perpetuated this rumor about Diddy and his late ex, Kim Porter, she has certainly added fuel to the fire. Conspiracy theories have surrounded Combs after several of his friends and acquaintances passed away. In a differing interview with RealLyfe Productions, Wright brought up Puff’s pre-Bad Boy career at Uptown Records. She said the label “started with five people: Andre Harrell, Al B. Sure, Heavy D, and Puffy [Diddy].” Wright added, “Kim was the longest-working employee. She was there from the very beginning; she was Andre’s personal assistant. Kim is dead, Heavy D is dead, Andre Harrell is dead, the only two left are Puffy and Al.” Then, she referenced Al B. Sure’s coma health scare. “Al almost died. Isn’t that interesting?”
“They were all writing tell-all books,” Wright continued. “Has Puffy ever been in a coma? Has anything happened to him? He must be the luckiest motherf*cker because it seems like everybody that worked at Uptown Records from the very beginning are gone. Just him.” Although Porter’s “tell-all” was recently released, the author admitted it was a work of fiction.
Said Diddy Had An Encounter With Christopher Williams
While many people that Jaguar Wright often mentions don’t come forward with a rebuttal, Christopher Williams decided to call her out after learning that his name was tied to her rumors. Wright would allege that Williams, who was a prominent singer in the 1980s and ’90s, had an oral sexual encounter with Diddy. Her quotes caught widespread attention, and Williams, obviously, wasn’t too thrilled about his name being entangled in Wright’s interview.
During his chat on Willie D Live with the Geto Boys icon, Williams categorically denied Wright’s claims. “Anybody that knows me knows that is ridiculous,” said the singer. “One person in the world alleges that I gave Puffy fellatio to get a record deal in like ‘92. I came out [singing] in ‘89, I had a record deal in ‘88.” Williams added, “If I were gay, I would be openly gay, so again, that wasn’t even the emphasis of it; it was the other stuff that was said around it.” Additionally, “Now she’s going on and on and on like she’s sure. But I’m like, ‘Bro, she’s hurting.’ I’m praying for her because we have to make a different stand and a different choice at this time. If I’m really solid, how can what she says affect me?”
Wright Claims Diddy Tapes Include Obama, Jennifer Lopez, Beyoncé & More
As stated earlier, there isn’t a famous person who can hide from Wright’s accusations. In one of her interviews, she listed several famous figures as not only co-signing Diddy’s alleged abuses but as participants who have purported sex tapes with Combs or from one of his “freak-off” parties. “I believe that Barack Obama has a tape,” she alleged. When mentioning Puff’s ex-girlfriend, Wright added, “I know that Jennifer Lopez has multiple tapes.”
Then she claimed that there was a visual of Beyoncé, in addition to saying, “I definitely know, they probably recycled some old Stevie J and Eve stuff. I know Drake got a tape, I know Rihanna got a tape, I know Chris Brown is on one of them tapes. I know Trey Songz has been, like, a supporting actor in many freak-off films. Definitely Usher.” Yet, Wright alleges that the public would be “shocked” at just how many politicians and “royals” were also involved.
“I’m still trying to figure out when Harry and Meghan [Markle] are going to be honest about their freak-off tape,” Wright continued. “I don’t think anybody wants to talk about that.” Her latest interview with Piers Morgan is just the tip of the iceberg of rumors, gossip, and allegations she has made against Combs and several other industry professionals. Meanwhile, Combs remains behind bars, awaiting trial after his bond was denied. Reports of at least 120 accusers against Combs have been shared, and the public awaits on pins and needles for information about which of their favorite artists may have been named in court documents. As for Wright, despite being heavily criticized for her comments and accusations, she remains unmoved.
Has Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion beef sneakily made its way into an entrepreneurial venture? Well, that’s what hip-hop head seemed to think. Earlier in the month, a campaign for Nicki Minaj’s sneaker line, Loci, went viral after users online noticed that it featured Megan Thee Stallion’s former friend, Kelsey Nicole.
However, on October 6, Nicki used downtime from Pink Friday 2 World Tour to address the growing backlash. In a post uploaded to X (formerly Twitter), Nicki slammed The Shade Room for promoting “a lie.”
“She posted a photo in my sneakers,” she wrote. “Me, nor my company knew anything about it until she posted it. So she did what many ppl did when they received my sneakers, they posted a photo in them.”
Nicki did extend compliments to the image. “Kelsey def went all the way out with this professional looking backdrop tho,” she wrote “But she is in no way professionally connected to my sneaker brand…Btw, did Kelsey not tell them she wasn’t modeling for the line Barbz? Did she just let them think that? I gotta get caught up y’all.”
Kelsey Nicole has since deleted the post. But that hasn’t stopped fans of both Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj from blasting her for seemingly attempting to add more fire to their longstanding feud.
Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion had a pretty nasty falling out earlier this year after a long history of subliminals and tension. Moreover, things became complicated – as rap beefs tend to evolve – thanks to the associations of each femcee and how they combated each other. For example, fans expressed shock and curiosity when Kelsey Harris, Meg’s former best friend, promoted Nicki’s shoe line on the Internet. Many took this as a direct dig at Thee Stallion, but the Trinidadian spitter recently took to Twitter to clear the air and elaborate on how she isn’t as petty as some fans assumed.
“The fact that @TheShadeRoom posted this LIE 5 days ago & im just now finding out,” Nicki Minaj tweeted on Sunday night (October 6). “chiiiiii LOL!!!!!!! I love being booked & busy. ‘Models for my collection’? She posted a photo in my sneakers. Me, nor my company knew anything about it until she posted it. So she did what many ppl did when they received my sneakers, they posted a photo in them. Kelsey def went all the way out with this professional looking backdrop tho…but she is in no way professionally connected to my sneaker brand.
The fact that @TheShadeRoom posted this LIE 5 days ago & im just now finding out. chiiiiii LOL!!!!!!! I love being booked & busy. “Models for my collection”? She posted a photo in my sneakers. Me, nor my company knew anything about it until she posted it. So she did what… pic.twitter.com/EAkgie91Yx
“No matter what yall pay the Shaderoom to post, plz remember that I did a sold out record breaking tour. And was then ASKED to do a 2nd leg,” Nicki Minaj continued. “Too busy & too successful for the clownery. These calculated, planned stories & narratives everytime yall gotta promote is only make me feel even more like I’m that B!CH!!!!! no confidence in your talents & abilities as labels to sell albums or ANYTHING. So you waste money & energy on this. #GagCityMIAMI TONIGHT!!!! Btw, did Kelsey not tell them she wasn’t modeling for the line barbz? Did she just let them think that? I gotta get caught up yall. lol chiiiiiii WOO WEE!!!!!!!! BOOF ON. MAKEUP CHAIR.”
Meanwhile, another Nicki Minaj-related debunk emerged recently. Cardi B clapped back at folks who claimed she was stealing her memes. That seems like quite the ridiculous thing to argue over, but then again, there’s a lot of history making these small rifts loom large.
Safaree and Nicki Minaj spent a lot of time together. In fact, it was a 12-year relationship that saw a lots of ups and downs, especially toward the end. There were some moments of reconciliation and there were others that displayed utter nastiness. Sometimes it got straight up concerning, as it was reported by TMZ 2014 that Safaree was experiencing su*cidal thoughts following the breakup. The drama and turmoil didn’t stop there though for the rapper and TV star as his partnership with Erica Mena has seen its own fair share of issues. They aren’t together anymore, and they have constantly gone back and forth since splitting 2021.
Mena has been extremely critical, putting him on blast for not showing enough love and support for their kids. But despite all of these shortcomings and dilemmas, Safaree is trying his best to make up for it. In fact, he recently said that he’s living with a new purpose. “I want to start giving back more, and uh, I don’t why lately. [Maybe] this trip is just making me see things different [but] I have to do it. So if you’re somebody who know me, link me up if you want to help in any way.” However, –at least in this case– this has nothing to do with Mena.
Instead, Safaree is “giving back” to Nicki Minaj by popping out at her Miami stop for the Gag City Reloaded leg of her ongoing Pink Friday 2 tour. However, he didn’t just stand in the crowd, he was having an absolute ball. As you can see in the video from The Neighborhood Talk above, he’s dancing and just enjoying himself thoroughly. On top of this, Safaree tweeted out in response to the clip making the rounds online. “I’m proud no cap… a lot of yalll will never understand but there is no malice in me… I’m proud.” This has led to some mixed reactions from the internet, with the Barbz especially showing no remorse for their queen’s ex. However, some were just simply happy to see him happy.
What are your thoughts on Safaree enjoying himself and showing support to Nicki Minaj? Do you think Erica Mena will have something to say about this? Is this a good or bad look for Minaj’s ex? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Safaree and Nicki Minaj. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on in the worlds of music and pop culture.
Nicki Minaj dished out lots of kind words for her son’s fourth birthday. She posted numerous messages to her “Papa Bear” on Instagram and Twitter. One of them including her son and husband, Kenneth Petty, playing at a park. Minaj decided to throw her happy marriage in the face of those who criticize her and Petty in the media. One fan thought the timing was odd, given that the post was supposed to be about Minaj’s son’s birthday. “Only you could make your child birthday about a man,” the fan wrote. Well, let’s just say the rapper didn’t like that.
Nicki Minaj rolled up her sleeves and let said fan have it full blast. She literally provided a bullet point list of reasons as to why she was right, and the fan questioning her was wrong. The opening section of the tweet is absolutely vicious, and would have gotten the point across by itself. “Dear weak loser,” it stated. “Tweeting about someone else’s bday b/c you have nothing to rejoice about in your own sad existence. & clearly don’t feel loved & definitely not paid attention to due to your ugliness…” That was how the tweet started!
Dear weak loser tweeting about someone else’s bday b/c you have nothing to rejoice about in your own sad existence & clearly don’t feel loved & definitely not paid attention to due to your ugliness… #GagCityStLouis tonight!!!!!
From there, Nicki Minaj justifies her reasoning for posting about Kenneth Petty. She points out that a pic takes one second out of the day, so the focus was still very much on “Papa Bear.” She noted that people who have too much time on their hands are obsessed her. Most importantly, she noted that Petty was the father of her son, and not just a random man. “His father, my husband,” she wrote. “Not a man, you funky piece of filth.” If you are a fan of Nicki Minaj meltdowns, then you are in for a treat. It gets more intense as it goes on.
The bulleted tweet just becomes an excuse for Minaj to call the fan every horrible name she can think of. Seriously. “GO TEACH THAT DINGY P**SY OR B**SY SOME NEW TRICKS,” she wrote in all caps. “You’re gonna need it when those Twitter checks clear up. GAGGGGGGGG.” Nicki Minaj proceeds to make yet another list in the same post. This time, of her many (and admittedly impressive) accomplishments over the years. There’s dunking on a rude fan, and then there’s whatever this is. The rapper also finds time to promote her St. Louis concert. Read the whole thing for yourself (above). It really needs to be read to be fully believed.
Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj are never going to get along. These two truly despise each other, and they have the records to prove it. Megan Thee Stallion got a solo number one single thanks to her Minaj diss, “HISS,” at the top of the year. Anything these two engage in that is connected to the other is not likely to be accidental. Which is what makes the rollout for Nicki Minaj’s new shoe line so interesting. It looks like the former Young Money rapper decided to link up with Megan Thee Stallion’s former friend, Kelsey Nicole, in the process.
Kelsey Nicole is a musical artist and model. Consequently, she appeared in a new photoshoot to promote the Minaj line Loci. Multiple photos were released online, in which Nicole is modeling the new in different settings. Kelsey Nicole’s friendship, and subsequent falling out, with Megan Thee Stallion, has been well detailed over the years. If we’re to go by Occam’s razor, which states that the simplest solution is often the right one, then Minaj chose her model very carefully. She’s promoting her business while taking a dig at her enemy.
Kelsey Nicole may not be as famous as Megan or Tory Lanez. But she was allegedly present during the infamous incident in which Megan was shot. Lanez is currently serving prison time for shooting Megan. That said, the rapper’s defense attorney actually suggested that Nicole handled the firearm instead. It was actually posited that Lanez physically struck Kelsey Nicole after the shooting took place, in an effort to disarm her. The jury obviously didn’t buy it, and found Lanez guilty.
Kelsey Nicole denies shooting Megan Thee Stallion, but does admit she was present when the shooting took place. She also told iHeartRadio that she was “betrayed” by Megan that night. “It was challenging for me to come forward,” Nicole admitted. “I wanted to ensure that my words were not fueled by anger.” She admits that she had a falling out with someone she previously considered her best friend. The two artists have not been close since. It’ll be interesting see if Kelsey Nicole and Nicki Minaj have even more collabs planned for the future.
Nicki Minaj is a proud mother. She’s spoken at length about the ways in which having a child has changed her life. She even went semi-viral recently, when she commented on a post by Rihanna and joked about the difficulty of raising little ones. Nicki Minaj kept the maternal theme going strong on September 30. The rapper decided to celebrate her son’s fourth birthday in style by posting a sweet tribute to him on Instagram.
Nicki Minaj posted photos and videos of her son in the days leading up to his birthday, but she saved the best for last. She posted a lengthy message describing just how important her son is to her. “Happy 4th birthday buddy,” she wrote. “You’ve made mama and daddy so happy. Since you were in mama’s tummy, you gave me a whole new meaning to life.” Nicki Minaj also thanked God for her son’s health and the tons of birthdays to come. “May God watch over you always and guide your path,” she added. “No weapon formed against me will prosper. In Jesus name we pray. Amen.”
Nicki Minaj has walked a fine line between privacy and openness with her fanbase. She’s known for having one of the most passionate fanbases in music, but she has gone out of her way to keep her son’s name a secret. It’s still unclear what his birth name is, despite the fact that he is a consistent presence on the rapper’s social media. Nicki Minaj generally refers to her son by the nickname “Papa Bear,” hence its use in the aforementioned birthday post. The rapper first used the nickname in a January 2021 post.
“PapaBear thank you so very much for choosing me to be your mama,” Minaj wrote in the caption. “Becoming a mom is by far the most fulfilling job I’ve ever taken on. Sending love to all the superhero mothers out there.” Despite dedicating so much time to being a mother, Nicki Minaj’s career has not slowed down. The rapper has been touring her latest album, and getting into social media spats with the likes of JAY-Z. She recently called the kingpin out for not selecting Lil Wayne as the Halftime Show act for the next Super Bowl.
Nicki Minaj continues to rally againstJay-Z and company over a couple of different reasons, including the Super Bowl halftime show and a shady TIDAL deal. As you can imagine, plenty of fans and celebrities alike came forward to defend Hov, even if the Trinidadian MC’s words ring truer for other factions online. However, many people wonder why he hasn’t responded. Is it because the New York rapper is too busy being a billionaire or something deeper? Well, DJ Akademiks thinks it’s the former, as he recently spoke on his livestream about how Jay set up a lot of media figures to defend him.
Moreover, DJ Akademiks started off by saying that Jay-Z, despite his feuds, followed the template for anyone who reached his level of success, one in a white supremacist, capitalist system that Ak says Black people have always been told they can’t reach. But Jay did. The media personality says that his business moves have always worked, albeit at the cost of co-opting culture on occasion. But then, the streamer got into the 54-year-old’s relationships with the media, which was his big overall point.
Dj akademiks breaks down how jay z has people in media like Stephen a smith to protect him when people like Nicki minaj is attacking him pic.twitter.com/V8RoM7BkgH
Furthermore, DJ Akademiks posited that Jay-Z also set up a lot of people in powerful media and business positions. “Don’t you realize that Jay-Z don’t got to respond to nothing?” he theorized. “If you critique Jay-Z, there’s like ten n***as that jump out the window that instantly start backing him up. And if you look at it, they’re not just doing it just because of no reason. They usually have some sort of financial incentive or some type of tie.” A recent example of this was how Stephen A. Smith and Nicki Minaj have gone back and forth over her criticism of the Roc Nation boss, which is what Ak was reacting to in the first place.
Then, DJ Akademiks spoke on how Jay-Z’s influence spreads far beyond music and entertainment media, and brought up how Dame Dash has similar issues with him to those that Nicki Minaj has. Specifically, he couldn’t make a judgement call on Stephen A. Smith, as he’s unfamiliar with his business ventures. But maybe you don’t see these connections and relationships as negatively as others do.
Since then Nicki Minaj has aired out her deeply rooter grievances with the show’s top level programmer and several of his associates including Steve Stoute. Now, users believe Nicki Minaj has turned her attention to Jay-Z superstar wife, Beyoncé. Continue below for more details.
Do Nicki Minaj And Beyoncé Have Beef?
On September 23, after Beyoncé posted two new SirDavis promotional gallery posts to Instagram, Nicki Minaj took to X (formerly Twitter) to write: “Robot on timing.” Although the upload has since been deleted, given Nicki Minaj’s cryptic code names for foes, many assumed that it was a dig at Beyoncé.
However, according to Nicki Minaj users online are mistaken. In the comment section of one TikTok user’s video (viewable here) laughing about the rumored beef, Nicki Minaj quickly shut down the claim.
“This is an absolute lie,” she wrote.
Beyoncé has proven to stick by her hubby even if it means confronting someone in-person, according to 50 Cent. Despite Nicki Minaj’s issues with Jay-Z, the two seems to have maintained a cordial relationship based on the flowers Bey sent to Nicki back in March.
Life is too short to be a pressed hater,” one IG user stated.
