Cardi B And Ice Spice Cooled Off Rumors They Have Beef With A Cute Photo From ‘Vanity Fair’s Oscars Party

You know how women in hip-hop keep telling us that all the supposed beef between them is all in fans’ heads?

Cardi B and Ice Spice just proved it.

The above picture was taken at Vanity Fair‘s annual Oscars party this year. Ice Spice sent it to Cardi on Twitter after Cardi asked if she could see it while engaged in an intense discussion of race with an influencer, Raymonte Cole (it’s a long story).

After Cardi and Raymonte referenced Ice Spice, the “Think U The Sh*t” rapper popped up herself to offer a correction. Not appearing to take offense in the slightest, Cardi politely requested, “Can you send me that pic you took of me wit ya camera from vanity fair? Thank youuu.” Ice obliged, and with that, hopefully ended about a year’s worth of utterly nonsensical rage-farming, Twitter trolling, and Stan war flame-fanning that has honestly been tired since before anyone even know who Ice Spice was.

Of course, the primary drivers behind the discourse discord, the Barbz, are losing their sh*t, but at this point, I would hope we have all learned they deserve precisely none of our collective attention, especially because that’s all they seem to want. Y’all can, like, join a bowling league or something. Of course, some fans are STILL trying to frame the whole exchange in antagonistic terms but I guess life is either really messy or really boring over there.

Anyway, now that Ice Spice has apparently been in direct proximity with both Cardi B and Latto without violence, perhaps my dream of a “girl rap” Avengers carrying Joe Budden directly to the dumpster his podcast takes belong in is one step closer.

Nicki Minaj Issued A Call For Fans To Take A Period Of Celibacy And ‘Find Out Who You Are’

Nicki Minaj has been packing arenas on her Pink Friday 2 Tour, which has fallen in good favor with the Barbz. Over the course of the tour, Nicki has been performing hit-after-hit from her catalog, which spans nearly two decades. She has also shown love to her loyal fan base, by sharing stories with them, shouting them out to the audience, and offering little tidbits of advice.

During her DC show last night, Minaj had some words to say in regard to practicing celibacy.

“Stop being a f*cking hoe,” Minaj said to the audience. “Abstain from sex and find out who you are first. And then, the universe will do it for you.”

Many of the Barbz cheered Minaj on, however, some found the message surprising. Over the course of her career, Minaj has been outspoken about her sexuality — notably with hits like “Anaconda” and “Super Freaky Girl.” But closer to the end of her spiel, Minaj made it clear that any vow of celibacy doesn’t have to be permanent.

“Abstain from sex for a little while,” Minaj said. “But if a [man] ever fumbled me, he stupid as f*ck.”

You can see a fan-taken video from the show above.

50 Cent Roasted By Fans For His Fit While On Stage With Nicki Minaj

Nicki Minaj is currently supporting her first new album in 5 years on the massive Pink Friday 2 tour. The American leg has featured a ton of surprise guest stars making nightly news. That was also the vase when she stopped in D.C. over the weekend. While there she was joined on stage by none other than 50 Cent. The pair received praise from fans in person for the moments they delivered, but afterward some fans at home took another look and had different things to say.

As videos made the round online of the two on stage and 50 himself even shared his outfit to Instagram, some haters emerged. Comments on both posts take a shot as the shiny jean jacket he wore out on stage during his guest appearance. “50 looking a lil Fruity 😂😂” and “50 Dress Like He Aint Leave ’05 😂😂😂” two comments on a video of the rapper on stage read. Check out the post he shared of his own outfit below.

50 Cent Catching Some Heat From Fans Over His Fit

50 Cent will get another shot to show off his on stage drip when he performs at Dreamville Festival later this week. The two day festival recently made some last minute adjustments to the previously announced lineup. That included dropping Chris Brown, who had to pull out of the festival for currently unknown reasons and replacing him with 50.

50 is also dealing with added pressure from a lawsuit filed in 2021 surrounding his Starz tv show Power. The lawsuit recently received a new motion that’s attempting to prevent both 50 and Starz from promoting the new upcoming Origins spinoff series of the show. The motion hasn’t had a ruling made on it yet. What do you think of the outfit 50 Cent wore on stage with Nicki Minaj over the weekend? Do you think he deserved some of the jokes fans made about the fit in his comments? Let us know in the comment section below.

Nicki Minaj Posts Wholesome Video Of Her Son “Papa Bear” Dancing During Her Tour

by

Nicki Minaj has been on her tour for Pink Friday 2 since the beginning of March and it has been going well for her. Sure, there have been some backstage issues too. But when it comes down to it, there a lot of moving parts and things are bound to not go as planned. The queen of rap is currently about 1/3 of the way through of her set of dates, taking a little Northeast trip over these last few days. Just yesterday (March 30), the hitmaker was back in her hometown of New York City and she had a little friend with her to tag along. According to HipHopDX, Nicki Minaj brought her three-year-old son, “Papa Bear,” to watch her rock the stage.

It is easily one of the cutest moments in hip-hop this year. Presumably, one of Nicki’s family members took a video of “Papa Bear” dancing along to his mama bear performing. He shakes his arms vigorously, but in an adorable way while watching Nicki from a suite. While the rapper does talk about “Papa” quite often, not too much is known still.

Nicki’s “Papa Bear” Is Too Adorable

One of the biggest things fans want to know about him is his real name. Nicki Minaj faked out her fans in December about what “Papa Bear’s” government name is with Andy Cohen on Watch What Happens Live. She also dodged the question in a “73 Questions” segment with Vogue as well, saying she is more of a “nickname person.” Even if we never know his name, “Papa Bear” has won over our hearts with this video.

What are your thoughts on Nicki Minaj sharing a video of “Papa Bear” showing support during her tour performance? Are you shocked that Nicki did this, why or why not? Is she back on top as the best female rapper in the game? Have you been able to go to one of her shows? We would like to hear what you have to say, so be sure to leave your takes in the comments section. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Nicki Minaj. Finally, stay with us for everything else going on around the world of music.

Joe Budden Turned Down Nicki Minaj's Request to Perform "Pump It Up"

Joe Budden could have hit the Madison Square Garden stage and delivered a “Pump It Up” performance.

During the recent episode of The Joe Budden Podcast, Budden revealed Nicki Minaj reached out to him to perform his hit during her Pink Friday Tour stop in NYC. Budden denied it because he doesn’t know if he has the “hype” in him.

“Nicki hit me last night,” Budden said. “She hit me when she was about to go on in Jersey. I was home. She didn’t say, ‘Yo, come out to Jersey’ and do that. She was 30 minutes from going on stage, and she hit me. I said, ‘I want to go to the New York show.’ And she said, ‘Yeah, you’re gonna come out and do ‘Pump it Up.’”

Regarding rejecting the offer, Budden said, “I gotta go out there and act hype, and I don’t know, I ain’t hype no more.”

Speaking with his cohost Parks, Budden revealed his last stage performance was in 2016.

You can see the moment from the pod below.

Drake Trolls Joe Budden, Nicki Minaj Invites Podcaster To Perform Throwback Hit

by

Drake still has yet to respond to the shade thrown at him by his “Poetic Justice” collaborator Kendrick Lamar with a diss track of his own. This is leaving some to wonder if he’ll ever have any bars to spit about what went down between them. Interestingly, the father of one is still very active on social media. Specifically, he wasn’t afraid to poke fun at another opp of his – Joe Budden. On Saturday (March 30), Drizzy’s Instagram Story lit up with a snapshot of the podcaster wearing some seriously baggy sweatpants.

To complete his fit, Budden added a black hoodie, a shiny puffer jacket in the same colour, crisp white sneakers and a hat that reads, “FREE.” The Canadian’s trolling comes after his most recent performance in New York City, where he got some frustrations off his chest during “Energy.” On the picture of JB, Drake wrote, “What’s the vibes NY?!?” suggesting he was on the hunt for a fun way to spend his Easter weekend.

While Drake continues to troll Budden, Nicki Minaj is surprisingly putting their differences aside to show him love. The Queen of Rap invited her fellow artist to perform during her concert in New Jersey recently, specifically requesting “Pump It Up.” When the 43-year-old shared the news on his internet show, co-hosts and fans were disappointed in Budden for turning down the incredible opportunity. “I ain’t hype no more,” he simply said.

“That was a real song?” one IG user asked in @theshaderoom’s comments. “I thought it was just for ‘You Got Served’ 😭😭,” they laughed. “I’m not gonna lie… If you’re a kid you won’t understand how fire this would have been!! My 34-year-old ass WOULD HAVE BEEN GEEKED!!! I’m mad he said no!” another person admitted. Would you like to see Joe Budden do “Pump It Up” live?

Nicki Minaj & Jadakiss Surprise New Jersey Fans On “Pink Friday 2” Tour

by

Any jitters Nicki Minaj might’ve been experiencing before her Pink Friday 2 Tour are long gone by now as she continues to impress us with her powerhouse stage presence. On Thursday (March 28), the mother of one made a stop in Newark, New Jersey, where she had a few surprises in store for patrons of the show. As HipHopDX reports, East Coast drill icon Fivio Foreign markedly came out to spit his bars on their 2022 collab, “We Go Up,” which had the crowd going crazy.

Elsewhere, Minaj shared the stage with Jadakiss, someone who the Trinidadian credits with being an inspiration to her. Footage from the 48-year-old’s stint shows a relatively calm crowd watching him. As some social media users are pointing out, this could be because the “Anaconda” artist draws in a younger crowd of listeners than the oldheads who typically bump Jada and others of his time. Nevertheless, Minaj was grateful to the former Bad Boy artist for coming out to support her.

The Queen of Rap, Nicki Minaj, Continues to Gag Us on Tour

“The one and only @jadakiss graced #GagCity with his presence tonight,” the femcee wrote on her IG Story. “I couldn’t feel more honoured. One of my faves of ALL time. Y’all know that’s the truth. Kiss, thank you 🙏🏽🎀,” Minaj added. On Friday (March 29), Papa Bear’s mom took over Wells Fargo Center in Philadelphia, and tonight (March 30) she’s got a performance lined up at Madison Square Garden. In April, you can catch her in Washington DC, Baltimore, Brooklyn, Connecticut, and at J. Cole’s Dreamville Festival in North Carolina.

Nicki Minaj has been pouring all her time and energy into the Pink Friday 2 Tour this month, but somehow, the Queen of Rap has also had time to dabble in the beauty and fashion industries too. Her recently launched press-on nail line got all the love from Beyonce this week, and ahead of the weekend, Minaj confirmed she has her first-ever signature shoe dropping soon. Read all about that at the link below, and check back in with HNHH later for more music/pop culture news updates.

Nicki Minaj Excitedly Announced Her Debut Sneaker Line, Which Features 11 Designs

by

Nicki Minaj has long been a pioneer in the realm of hip-hop brand sponsorships and launching business endeavors outside of music. It looks like the latest market she wants to dominate is the shoe game. On Instagram, she announced the impending launch of her own sneaker line, which won’t just be one or two pairs but an entire range of designs — 11, to be exact — to be released on April 12.

“4/12 = 11 new pairs of my OWN sneaker,” she wrote. “11 completely different designs for you to choose from. An absolute dream come true. I can’t WAIT for you guys to see my 1st collection!!! … Thank you to my team for helping me make this dream come to fruition. This isn’t a sponsorship. I’m an owner & partner & we will be showing you the first complete collection on 4/12.”

Rappers launching their own shoe lines isn’t a new concept; after all, in the 2000s, both Jay-Z’s Roc-A-Fella Records and 50 Cent’s G-Unit had their own shoes. More recently, rappers have been mostly likely to collaborate with existing conglomerates — see: Drake, Doja Cat, Kanye West, Megan Thee Stallion, and Travis Scott.

However, more recently, it looks like hip-hop has been looking to carve out its own space in the sneaker game independent of big brands like Adidas and Nike. J. Cole recently previewed his new Dreamer Indie 5000 after previously releasing two pairs of sneakers with Puma. If this is going to be the new wave, there is definitely room in the market (for now, at least) and it will be fun to see how rappers use the space to express their creativity even further while retaining ownership and possibly innovating the next wave of footwear for the streets.

While Nicki’s sneaker does indeed look more like a collab with existing apparel company Løci, it’s still a fascinating possibility to consider.

There are only a handful of rappers in the industry that are pioneers and trendsetters. Without a doubt, Nicki Minaj is one of those illustrious names that is always paving the way for other female MCs. She has been dominating the charts and fans hearts for well over a decade and has no signs of slowing down. Late 2023-2024 has been an eventful time for the Trinidadian multi-talent. She dropped her highly-anticipated sequel to the original Pink Friday, Pink Friday 2 on her birthday, December 8. Nicki Minaj is on tour for it as we speak, but while she is rocking stages, she is also creating signature shoes.

Multiple reports confirmed that the iconic female figure will be teaming with a London-based luxury shoe brand Loci. They pride themselves on creating vegan and environmentally friendly sneakers. Nicki Minaj is excited for fans to lace up her signature kicks very soon. “4/12 = 11 new pairs of my OWN sneaker. 11 completely different designs for you to choose from. An absolute dream come true. I can’t WAIT for you guys to see my 1st collection!!!!”
