Natalie Nunn Claims She Scored $1M Deal, Thanks To Nicki Minaj

by

Not a single person is feeling themselves more than Natalie Nunn. In the past few days, she’s incessantly posted her praise for Nicki Minaj’s verse on Pink Tape, largely because the Queen rapper referenced the size of her chin. “Even if my name was Natalie Nunn, these b*tches still couldn’t chin-check me,” Nicki raps in her verse on “Endless Fashion.” Some looked at it as a shot towards the Baddies star but not Nunn herself. Instead, she’s continued to gloat that Nicki Minaj acknowledged her existence on Lil Uzi Vert’s album.

Still, Twitter’s attempted to rain on Natalie Nunn’s parade since the album’s release on Friday. Nicki hasn’t necessarily directed any of her energy toward Natalie Nunn since then. However, the reality TV figure really hasn’t stopped talking about it. A video emerged of her in the club, celebrating the shout out with her friends. Then came a flurry of Instagram posts referencing Nicki’s lyrics from “Endless Fashion.”

Although many people have criticized Nunn for her non-stop posts about Nicki, you really can’t knock the hustle. Nunn hit the ‘Gram where she revealed that she landed a 7-figure deal as a result of Nicki’s brief mention on “Endless Fashion.” “Hahahahha that shout out got me a million dollar deal,” she wrote on her Instagram Story. “Chile this is all really funny! Stay tuned @nickiminaj thanks again sis muahhh.”

The specifics of the deal haven’t been revealed yet. Still, it’s apparent that Natalie Nunn is gunning to have Nicki Minaj involved in Baddies in some sort of capacity. During an interview with Baller Alert at the BET Awards, she said that she wanted Nicki to host the Baddies reunion. “I would love to see Nicki Minaj be our reunion host for Baddies,” she said. “I don’t know why she’s not over here with the Baddies because she follows me and she loves the Baddies, I know you watchin’.” We’ll see if Natalie Nunn can land Nicki on her show.

The shoutout for Playboi Carti comes weeks after Logic admitted on Twitch that he had never heard Whole Lotta Red. After fans pressured him into doing so, he tossed the project on mid-stream “Yo, this is dope. This shit sounds like a movie,” he said while bumping the Kanye West-assisted “Go2DaMoon.” By the end of his listen, he added: “Ok cool. That shit’s dope! I’m gonna listen to the rest of the album later.”

As for Jack Harlow, the shoutout comes after the release of his latest album, Jackman. He dropped the project back in April with no features and production from Boi-1da, FnZ, DJ Dahi, and several more. Harlow also made his acting debut in the new remake of White Men Can’t Jump. The new film dropped on Hulu, Friday, to mixed reviews online.

Little Brother Reflects On Doja Cat Shout Out: “It’s Just Really Humbling”

by

Little Brother rappers Phonte and Big Pooh recently discussed getting a shout-out from Doja Cat during an interview with HipHopDX. Speaking with the outlet for a piece published on Saturday, they admitted that it was a humbling experience. Doja Cat praised the rappers’ track “Whatever You Say” from Little Brother’s 2003 debut, The Listening, on Instagram Live in 2021.

“To see someone like Doja Cat just to say, ‘Yo, I’ve listened to y’all’s shit, this is the best verse ever,’ it’s just really humbling,” Phonte said. “To me, it’s just a testament of just not knowing how far your music is going to go. And even if something in 2003, something that when you put it out, it felt like, ‘Damn, people sleeping on this, they don’t get it, they don’t get it,’ for 20 years later, one of the biggest pop stars in the world, like legit pop stars to be like, ‘No, this is the shit. Y’all need to get up on this.’ Yeah, man, it’s extremely humbling. And I’m just grateful that we’re still around to get those flowers, and I’m thankful that our music just stood that test of time. That people can appreciate it now, more so than they did back then.”

Doja Cat’s Instagram Live

From there, Phonte revealed that he spoke with Doja Cat after the live stream over text. “It was around the time, because I want to say shortly after she made that video, that was when I think … She was on tour, and I think she had to stop the tour because of COVID and stuff. But we texted briefly, and I just said, ‘Look, thank you. I appreciate it.’ But it was just brief. But other than that, we had no relationship. It was totally, it came out of nowhere. But boy, the thing I came to realize is that, in the music business, the musicians and the business people are kind of different in that the musicians are pretty much, no matter what kind of music they make, they’re still pretty much kind of nerds. You know what I’m saying? And so, they’re studying. They’re always studying.”

As for Doja Cat’s original comments, she had labeled “Whatever You Say,” “one of my favorite verses in the entire fuckin’ history of rap, ever.” While doing her makeup, she added: “That shit was so smooth. He didn’t rhyme one fucking word. I don’t care what anybody says. Maybe the last bar. He said, ‘personal time inversed in rhyme.’ That was the only thing he rhymed together. The whole rest of that verse was not rhymed. Nothing. Not one fucking rhyming thing, but it worked. It worked. You don’t have to rhyme.”

Joe Budden Reacts To Being Shouted Out In “Abbott Elementary”

by

Joe Budden is one of the most recognizable figures in hip-hop culture. He was never quite the most popular rapper in the game while he was active, but he was a prominent member of Slaughterhouse. His 2003 hit, “Pump It Up” is certainly the most successful track of his career.

He retired from the rap game in 2018 and his last full-length release came in the form of 2016’s Rage & The Machine. Ever since then, Budden has found continuous success as a broadcaster for various platforms. Regardless, the 42-year-old continues to maintain his relevance in society.

ABC‘s sitcom show, Abbot Elementary, shouts out the “Pump It Up” rapper in a bit from one of their recent episodes, “Read-A-Thon.” Airing on Wednesday (January 4), the episode is part of the series’ second season.

The scene showcases one of the show’s students educating his teacher on who Joe Budden is while in the school’s new podcasting club. The teacher, who’s played by Chris Perfetti, brings up “the podfather.” “Oh, you mean Joe Budden,” the student replies. “I think he pronounces it Biden, but we will work on diction when the mics are hot,” says Mr. Hill in response.

The kid subsequently reveals that it’s shocking he’s never heard of the former Slaughterhouse rapper. He plays the prof a clip from The Joe Budden Podcast, but Mr. Hill is appalled by the explicit language.

“Joe is a star. It’s ok to admit. He made broadcasting cool. We changed the game forever. #AbbottElementary,” says Budden’s manager, Ian Schwartzman in a tweet.

One fan took to their Twitter account to publicly acknowledge the show’s mention of Budden. “Not the Podfather @JoeBudden on Abbot Elementary,” writes the fan, along with a couple of emojis crying with laughter. “Nah don’t gas me.. i love that show lol,” the 42-year-old replies back. Evidently, he’s loving the shout-out.
