Fat Joe Weighs In On Men Rocking Painted Nails

by

In the past couple of years or so, fans have noticed a trend of their favorite male celebrities embracing their feminine sides, rocking things like dresses, purses, and of course, nail polish. Drake, NBA YoungBoy, Lil Baby, and many more have hopped on the trend. Unfortunately, this has resulted in some pushback from critics.

While many see no issue with men expressing themselves however they choose, others have been quick to call them out, arguing that it says something about their sexuality. According to Fat Joe, however, it’s nothing but a trend, and shouldn’t necessarily be treated as though it’s any deeper than that. He shared his thoughts during a chat with fans on Instagram Live earlier this week.

Fat Joe Says It’s Just Another Trend

“You’ve got guys who I don’t think are gay but they’re painting their nails or they’re walking with Birkin bags, you know?” he began. “Unfortunately, it’s sad. You know you have originators, and then you have a lot of running with the swag or running with the style. So if Dipset was wearing the flyest clothes… Everybody was rocking the bandana, 2Pac was rocking the bandana… So it feels like it’s been a new trend, a new swag, a new style. Paint your nails, use a bag, wear a dress.“

“The toughest one, my man’s on RICO,” he continued. “Young Thug was wearing the skirts and this and this and that. He’s the toughest, so it’s safe to say it’s a fad. It’s a trend, and guys are like […] ‘I’m gonna go viral?’” What do you think of Fat Joe’s take on men wearing nail polish? Do you agree with him or not?

by

Kodak Black is someone who has been known to speak his mind. Overall, he doesn’t really care whom he might offend with his words. However, sometimes, he does get on the bad side of his peers. His most recent rant can certainly be classified as one of those occasions. In the Instagram video below, reposted by DJ Akademiks, you can see that Kodak had a lot to say about the trend involving rappers painting their nails. He even named Lil Baby and NBA YoungBoy in this, which just goes to show that he is not afraid to say names.

“We ain’t with none of that Illuminati shit,” Kodak said. “Ain’t with none of that Lil Baby, YoungBoy, all this gay ass shit going on. We ain’t with none of that paint-your-nails shit. We ain’t with none of that fuck shit. Don’t ever play with a n***a with no gay shit, no snitch shit, no fuck shit, no soft shit, no none of that shit. We ain’t with none of that. Stop playing with me. For real, bitch. It’s cold out here.”

Lil Baby & DJ Akademiks Feud Over Allegedly Painted Nails

by

It appears as though Lil Baby and DJ Akademiks are at it again, this time over some allegedly painted nails. Yesterday, Ak took to social media to call the rapper out for a clip from his new music video. In the clip, Lil Baby is seen flipping the bird, and his middle finger looks suspiciously shiny. Ak was quick to make note of this and to accuse the “Greedy” performer of wearing nail polish.

“Dis n***a ain’t been the same since then Michael Rubin parties,” he replied to the clip. “I kno his nails not painted .. man wats going on in rap.” He didn’t stop there, however. He went on to share a photo of Lil Baby alongside some male friends at Rubin’s iconic Independence Day white party last year. “The day we lost Lil Baby,” he captioned the post.

Lil Baby Denies Having Painted Nails

Lil Baby didn’t hesitate to fire back. Shortly after DJ Akademiks posted the accusations, he hopped online to respond. He took to his Instagram Story with a photo of his hand, highlighting his unpainted nails. “Y’all blogs gotta stop just posting anything,” he wrote. “I ain’t painting my MF nails. At this point y’all gotta see n***as like Akademiks got an agenda. Miss me with that weird sh*t (No lol).” While he insists his own nails weren’t painted, he wouldn’t be the first rapper to rock the look.

Drake, for example, frequently flexes his polished nails proudly. According to him, he keeps them polished to prevent himself from biting them. He’s previously called out those hating on him for it, calling the backlash homophobic. What do you think of Lil Baby and DJ Akademiks beefing again? What about the rapper denying having his nails painted? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Dwyane Wade Unbothered By Painted Nail Hate

by

Dwyane Wade has expressed how little he cares about the hate he gets for his painted nails in a new interview with High Society. “My father has always been a man who would take care of himself. My uncles took care of themselves. I wanted to be one of them sharp-dressed men who smelled good, who stayed clean-shaved, and all that. I’ve been getting my nails painted since 2007,” Wade said.

Furthermore, he also noted that his fashion decisions were a conscious choice. “I’m all about scanning details of people, because it shows you a lot about how people care about themselves. Me and my body, we love putting on clothes,” he said. “It’s not something I play around with. It’s a part of my personality, it’s a part of my lifestyle. So I’m not just wearing clothes. I put that sh-t on,” he continued.

Dwyane Wade Recalls Yelling At LeBron James During 2011 Finals

Elsewhere, during a podcast appearance last November, Wade recalled yelling at LeBron during their 2011 Finals run. The infamous moment occurred during Game 3 of the matchup against the Mavericks, with the series tied at 1-1. “I knew our relationship. I knew I could talk to Bron, because he could talk to me the same way. We ain’t sensitive. […] In that moment in Dallas it was coming down to me and him, and I didn’t feel like he was playing to the level he needed to for us to win. That moment may not have been for that finals, but the next finals, and the next finals, and the next finals,” Wade told the Point Forward podcast.

Miami would win Game 3, but drop the next three games to lose the series. After this, the clip of Wade getting in LeBron’s face went viral. However, it also appeared to change LeBron. His stats improved across the board and the Heat would win back-to-back titles in 2013 and 2014.
