Latto Hit With Twitter Hack That Dissed Nicki Minaj & SZA

by

Latto’s social media team must be scrambling right now, because she’s currently subjected to a Twitter hack as of last night (Saturday, September 8). Moreover, these posts on the account include some shade towards SZA and Nicki Minaj and leaked personal information. From what we can gather from a lot of these tweets (most of which don’t have anything to do with the Atlanta femcee herself), it looks like this is someone trying to get back at their ex-partner, who’s a fan of her music. It’s all a pretty complicated situation and still a very unclear one, so we’ll see if the near future holds any updates.

Furthermore, Latto indicated via her Instagram Story that she was aware of the hack, and is probably trying her best to regain access. This adds to a pretty turbulent but nonetheless successful year for the Trapper of the Year. Between a new album, some combative bar trades with Ice Spice, and a whole lot of fan discussions, there was a lot to take in for 2024. She’s handled it all pretty well so far, as evidenced by a recent and hilarious interaction.

Latto Hacked

Latto appeared on 2 Chainz and his son Halo’s podcast, where the little one asked a pretty out-of-pocket question. “Um, is it true you got beef with Ice Spice?” “Oh my God, here we go,” the 25-year-old responded. “Halo, what in the world?!” his father asked comically. “Let me tell you something, Halo,” she elaborated. “I don’t got a problem with nobody ’cause beef is a different thing, you feel me? That’s a whole different type of conversation. I ain’t got no beef with nobody, I don’t got a problem with nobody for real. *laughs* I ain’t got no problem with nobody for real, for real, it ain’t like that.”

Meanwhile, even though Sugar Honey Iced Tea‘s commercial performance wasn’t the best, it’s still getting plenty of spins from fans. It’s momentum that Latto will likely maintain as the year closes out, whether she faces another hack or not. Let’s just hope that some password, IP, and VPN solutions are in the words for her and her team. And that whatever toxic relationship in the background of all this clears up.

Nicki Minaj Sent Sabrina Carpenter A Bouquet For Outselling Travis Scott

Sabrina Carpenter’s album Short N’ Sweet barely managed to edge out Travis Scott’s tape Days Before Rodeo on this week’s edition of the Billboard 200 chart, earning the approval of Nicki Minaj.

The recording industry can be a competitive business, but no one takes that competition more seriously than Nicki and her minions. And while she’s usually the one in the lead on any given release week, she apparently still considers her No. 2 debut for Queen in 2018 a black spot on her record because of Travis Scott’s Astroworld. Nicki has clearly been out for revenge ever since, and this past week, she finally got it, in a way, thanks to Sabrina Carpenter. Nicki thanked Carpenter for avenging her by sending her a massive bouquet of white roses. Carpenter posted a photo of the bouquet on her Instagram Story with a caption reading, “I adore u + the barbz :’) this is so thoughtful!!!! and these are so beautiful.”

Carpenter took up the challenge of putting Travis in his place when the release dates for their respective projects — her album Short N’ Sweet and his mixtape Days Before Rodeo — fell on the same day. “This one’s for Nicki,” she wrote on Twitter, reminding fans of Nicki’s 2018 feud with the Houston rapper for outselling her by skirting Billboard‘s counting rules (she did the same, but that’s neither here nor there for Nicki. If she wins, it’s because she’s the best; if she loses, there was a conspiracy rife with chicanery to keep her from her deserved success). Nicki clearly appreciates the thought.

Nicki Minaj Pens Heartfelt Message To The Barbz Ahead Of “Gag City Reloaded” Tour

Nicki Minaj has poured a lot into her musical journey. She’s racked up tons of accolades, top-charting singles and projects, as well as having several massive tours under her belt. Speaking of the latter, the Trinidadian rapper and singer is getting ready to tour across the United States once again tonight. It will be the second installment of her Pink Friday 2 World Tour, which quite insane given the fact that she did two legs of the former. This is the Gag City Reloaded trek, and it will accompany the forthcoming deluxe of the same name that’s coming September 13.

It will run through October 11 and will end in Queens, New York. With so much support shown from her fans, Nicki wanted to show them appreciation with one of her trademark messages. “Dear Barbz,” she begins. “Today is the day. The final installment of the #PinkFriday2 era begins today. Thank you for your continued love & support… for wishing my team & me, well. Thank you for being the best humans on earth.” She continues, “This is my first time doing 2 headline tours in one calendar year- (as #PapaBear’s mama @ that)… So I’d be lying if I said it’s been “easy”. I just keep reminding myself that one thing I learned & promised myself I’d never ever forget the last time I saw you, is that no matter how I feel when I walk ON stage, I feel a million times better when I walk off.

“Physically tired of course, but in high spirits. Idk what it is really, but you guys have a way of putting things back into perspective for me w/o knowing or trying to.” Nicki then concludes with, “The unexpected rush of all these incredible, adorable, precious, magical, majestic, fun, funny, uplifting, emotional, uniquely layered, carefully crafted, multi faceted, powerful, vulnerable, vivid, bright, crystal clear, stunning, reassuring, fleeting memories all start flooding back & I think to myself… maybe it was all worth it🎀 Love you, -Harajuku Barbie”.

Megan Thee Stallion Still Stupefied As To Why Nicki Minaj Has Beef With Her

by

Megan Thee Stallion is always finding herself in the middle of some sort of controversy. Whether it been the Kamala Harris rally or the Tory Lanez incident, trouble always seems to track to her down. The former was one of the topics at hand during her recent chat with Billboard in July. That feature is out now, according to Uproxx, and during the interview, Megan Thee Stallion spoke on the persistent beef with Nicki Minaj. However, it seems that their differences are pretty one-sided, at least in the eyes of the “Cobra” songwriter.

Leading up to the question with her foe’s name in it, the questioner believed that she had a lot to do with kickstarting the competitive nature in hip-hop this year. The H-Town Hottie did admit that she thinks she did start it off. However, she also feels that she just had to clap back at Nicki when “HISS” came out in late January. “I would like to think that I start things. I don’t know; I just knew what I had to do and what I had to say”, Megan explained.

But when it came down to giving a conclusive answer as to why/when her and the NY legend began to have differences, she simply couldn’t do it. “I still to this day don’t know what the problem is. I don’t even know what could be reconciled because I, to this day, don’t know what the problem is”, Megan stated frankly. Based on her answers, it seems like she would open to burying the hatchet with Minaj. However, in that same breath, it sort of sounds like the “FTCU” MC needs to be the one to start off the conversation.

What are your thoughts on Megan Thee Stallion claiming to not know why Nicki Minaj doesn’t like her? Do you think she’s being truthful, why or why not? Who do you think started this ongoing feud?

Megan Thee Stallion Doesn’t Know ‘What The Problem Is’ Between Her And Nicki Minaj

by

Megan Thee Stallion can’t explain how to reconcile her beef with Nicki Minaj, because she doesn’t know how it started in the first place. In a new interview with Billboard, Meg admitted she doesn’t know why Minaj turned on her, and that she only spent the early part of the year exchanging diss songs with her former collaborator because she “knew what I had to do and what I had to say.”

“I still to this day don’t know what the problem is,” she confessed when asked about a potential reconciliation between the two rappers. “I don’t even know what could be reconciled because I, to this day, don’t know what the problem is.”

For what it’s worth, Meg and Nicki certainly started their relationship on a good note, teaming up to rap together on Meg’s 2019 single “Hot Girl Summer.” The song peaked at No. 11 on the Billboard Hot 100 and No. 1 on the US Rhythmic chart — Meg’s first and Nicki’s eighth. However, in 2022, Nicki recalled taking umbrage at a joke Megan made during a party, which ultimately led to their falling out (although, I gotta say… that’s the sort of thing you have a conversation about, not hold onto for five years and make a slew of diss tracks about).

Meanwhile, some fans believe Nicki actually turned on Meg when her 2020 collaboration with Nicki’s rival Cardi B, “WAP,” turned out to be much more successful, spending four non-consecutive weeks at No. 1 on the Hot 100, and becoming one of the most buzzed-about songs of that year. Minaj took some apparent shots at Meg on her 2023 single, “Red Ruby Da Sleeze.”

Nicki and Meg opened 2024 with back-and-forth diss songs, beginning with Meg’s lead Megan single, “Hiss,” which addressed a number of her other detractors at the same time. Nicki responded with “Big Foot,” but the lukewarm response to the song — and Nicki’s accompanying days-long Twitter rant — caused the “beef” to fizzle out quickly. Still, it set the tone for the year, which has seen skirmishes between Ice Spice and Latto, and Drake and Kendrick Lamar.

Travis Scott Ironically Ties A Previously Held Chart Debut Record By Nicki Minaj

by

Travis Scott fought Sabrina Carpenter to the very end. However, he fell just shy of squeaking past the Pennsylvania pop star for the number one spot on the Billboard Hot 200. Still, though, moving 361,000 copies of a 10-year-old mixtape compared to a highly anticipated brand-new record from one of the hottest artists is nothing to be disappointed in. It just goes to prove that he’s one of the biggest rappers, but also superstar musician overall. AllHipHop has the stats to prove that, as Scott is now in the top five for biggest debuts of 2024 in terms of sales. He slots in at number four, just behind Sabrina, Beyonce’s COWBOY CARTER, and the phenom Taylor Swift with The Tortured Poets Department.

In addition to this, Travis is also tying old records. Back in 2021, Nicki Minaj also rereleased an old mixtape. She reissued 2009’s Beam Me Up Scotty and by doing so, The Queen of New York went on to have the highest charting debut in that regard. It went number two in late May with around 80,000 units sold. Obviously, Scott obliterated the sales numbers, but he also a little bit stiffer competition.

Travis Scott & Nicki Minaj Seem To Always Be Linked Somehow

According to Rap-Up, Nicki was vying for number one with J. Cole’s The Off-Season, which had 288,000 buyers. That’s nearly 100,000 more than Sabrina’s 362,000 album equivalent sales. Overall, though, it’s kind of funny how Travis and Nicki continue to be linked. The have a couple of collaborations, but the latter still seems to try and destroy him in any way possible.

An Unfortunate Missed Background Detail In Cardi B’s Maternity Photos Had Some Thinking She Was Stirring The Pot, So She Responded

Cardi B recently shared maternity photos and an ultrasound of her unborn baby. The ultrasound sparked some funny names, while the maternity pics generated controversy.

Some people noticed that the photos, which were shot in a graffiti-covered alley, featured the word “pedophile” painted on a wall in the background. As HipHopDX notes, the Nicki Minaj fans interpreted this as a shot at Nicki, since her husband and brother have both been charged with sexual assault on a minor. Cardi insists it was simply an accident, though.

She wrote in a tweet, “First of all we literally picked a random street because paparazzi was hounding us everywhere.. this was supposed to be my original first picture and we had to edit the photos in minutes because the shoot got leaked. Didn’t even have time to go over every detail because people were busy trying to expose my pregnancy as ‘aha’ moment…Second I’m ALWAYS with the sh*ts but I’m not using MY MATERNITY shoot to be funny. Are you dumb??”

A user responded, “I hate that ya let people get away wit doing weird shi just because they claim they were ‘unaware’ like n**** you’re a whole celebrity with a team this is a bs ass excuse ngl.” Cardi replied, “A team?? Btch my makeup artist touched up the picture because we didn’t have time for all that, it says the date and time nobody was paying attention to the graffiti… second if I wanted to be petty I would’ve posted a lot of memes last week.. I KEEP TELLIN YALL TO LEAVE ME THE FUK ALONE !! If I’m saying I’m not on that time DONT MAKE ME GET ON THAT TIME. Unrist yourself!!”

Nicki Minaj Almost Named Her Son After Ninja Man Until Her Husband Kenneth Petty Refused

by

Nicki Minaj’s recent Instagram Live session with her husband Kenneth Petty came under heavy fire for its flippant use of a homophobic slur. However, that wasn’t everything that they discussed and engaged in during the event, as they also spoke on their family dynamic with their son. For those unaware, the couple welcomed him in September of 2020 and have kept his name and most of his personal life a secret from fans, only referring to him as “Papa Bear.” During this recent IG Live, the Trinidadian MC revealed that she wanted to name him after incarcerated Jamaican dancehall icon Ninja Man.

“When I was pregnant, all I did was watch Ninja Man all day,” Nicki Minaj explained as Kenneth Petty shook his head at the idea that the name would be a “match.” “I think I told you guys I was going to call the baby Ninja. My husband didn’t really want me to call the baby Ninja, but I thought it was dope, you know. I had asked people around me and they said yes. I don’t see anything wrong with it. You know, Ninja.”

Nicki Minaj Explains Why She Almost Named Papa Bear “Ninja”

Previously, Nicki Minaj had revealed to Vogue last November that she’s a big nickname person, and after shooting down rumors that Papa Bear is named Jacob, she’s hinted at the context behind this moniker and what his actual name could be without outright confirming it. “I’ve always been a nickname person,” she expressed. “I give everyone I love these nicknames, normally. He actually had a couple nicknames. His first nickname while he was in my stomach was ‘Bubba.’ When he came out, it just transformed into ‘Papa Bear.’ I can’t explain it, but when I looked at him, that’s what I thought.”

Meanwhile, Nicki Minaj is as dominant of a force in the music industry as ever, using her power to speak on the biggest happenings in the record realm. For example, she recently threw her hat into a big sales ring recently by promoting Sabrina Carpenter’s new album over Travis Scott’s DAYS BEFORE RODEO re-release, both of which competed for a Billboard 200 No. 1 chart debut. You probably recall that ASTROWORLD beat out Queen for that top-charting spot in 2018. Some grudges last more than we think…

Why Does Nicki Minaj Have Beef With Travis Scott, And How Is Sabrina Carpenter Involved?

by

While promoting her new album, Short N’ Sweet, pop star Sabrina Carpenter tweeted, “This one is for Nicki,” prompting “Barbie World” rapper Nicki Minaj to acknowledge the “Espresso” singer during a livestream. Fans quickly deduced that Carpenter was out for revenge on Nicki’s behalf, involving herself in a long-running rivalry between the Queens rapper and Travis Scott. Here’s a refresher on why Nicki Minaj has beef with Travis Scott, and just how Carpenter fits in.

You may remember that Minaj pitched quite a fit in 2018 after Scott’s album Astroworld returned to the No. 1 spot in its second week, relegating Minaj’s new album Queen to a No. 2 debut after Nicki campaigned heavily for the top spot. Her main grievance was that many of Astroworld‘s second-week sales came from merch bundles the Houston rapper pitched on his website, which Nicki felt was unfair, as fans were really buying the merch, not the album, but Travis got the sales anyway.

“I put my blood sweat & tears in writing a dope album only for Travis Scott to have Kylie Jenner post a tour pass telling people to come see her and Stormi,” she wrote on Twitter, before restating her case on Queen Radio. She argued that Billboard should change its counting rules — and it did, eventually — but she was unhappy at the possibility that her project might be seen as a relative failure based on the bar of going No. 1 in its first week (which, technically, she set herself, but we’ll leave that alone for a moment).

Which brings us to today, and Sabrina Carpenter. Clearly, Carpenter counts herself one of Minaj’s loyal Barbz (hopefully, not the toxic kind that bullied journalists and other artists on her behalf). With Short N’ Sweet released on the same day as the re-release to streaming of Scott’s breakout mixtape Days Before Rodeo, it looks like Sabrina sees this as a chance to get justice for Ms. Minaj, if her album can top the Billboard 200 over Scott’s — especially as Scott appears to be up to his old shenanigans. Frankly, everybody here seems way too obsessed with the numbers game, especially as they’re probably not even all competing for the same limited group of fans. Maybe they’d all be better served joining adult sports leagues, so they can get their winning fix somewhere more productive. What I’m saying here is: Bring back Rock N’ Jock. For the culture.

Sabrina Carpenter Might Have Just Helped Nicki Minaj Reignite Her Feud With Travis Scott

Last night (August 29), Sabrina Carpenter tweeted, “this one’s for nicki.” Some think this is Carpenter helping Minaj reignite her feud with Travis Scott.

As HotNewHipHop notes, back in 2018, Scott’s Astroworld prevented Minaj’s new album Queen from reaching No. 1 on the Billboard 200 chart. At the time, Minaj criticized Scott for using album bundles to increase his sales numbers, saying on an episode of Queen Radio, “What we’re not gonna do is have that Auto-Tune man selling f*cking sweaters. Telling you he sold half a million albums, because he f*cking didn’t.”

Meanwhile, Carpenter’s new album Short N’ Sweet was released on the same day as Scott’s rerelease of Days Before Rodeo. So, some have come to the conclusion that Carpenter’s tweet is a reference to her and Scott competing for the No. 1 spot, with Carpenter seeking vengeance for Minaj.

Minaj acknowledged Carpenter’s tweet on Instagram Live, saying, “Shout out to Sabrina Carpenter, shout out to all the Sabrina Carpenter fans.”

Carpenter, meanwhile, has been having a ton of fun lately. She killed and kissed Jenna Ortego in her “Taste” video, had a big night with Jimmy Fallon on The Tonight Show, and came up with a wild “Nonsense” outro on Chicken Shop Date.
