Finesse2tymes & Erica Banks Trade Shots Over Their Short-Lived Relationship

by

Dating is hard enough for the average person, but the love lives of celebrities are particularly volatile due to the nature of their work. Constantly being in the public eye would take a toll on anyone, but having your looks, career moves, and relationships constantly scrutinized by both the press and social media causes many stars to keep their personal life private. While some famous couples do manage to make it to the endgame together, others – such as Finesse2tymes and Erica Banks – cut ties after just a few weeks.

The pair spent a few weeks together last September, though it wasn’t long before the 90 Days hitmaker posted up with another woman online. Since then, he and Banks have been known to trade shots back and forth online, though their beef reached new heights on Friday (March 10). At the time, Finesse sat down on The Breakfast Club to explain why he and the “Buss It” artist ultimately went their separate ways after such a short time.

Finesse2tymes Tells His Side of the Story

“The age thing, that’s what I didn’t understand,” he began, referencing the six-year age gap between them. “You know, I’m a man! When I wake up in the morning, my woman get up, ‘cuz it’s time to cook, it’s time to have some sex, it’s time to clean up,” Finesse further explained. “When you get up and get on your phone, I don’t like that. Don’t get straight on your phone when you around a man.” According to the southern rapper, a woman’s job is to take care of her partner first, then she can scroll through social media.

Seeing as she’s allegedly chronically online, it wasn’t long before Banks clapped back at her former lover. “This man crazy,” she wrote on her Story while reposting Finesse’s interview with TBC. Shortly after she went Live on IG, breaking down what happened from her point of view for curious followers.

Erica Banks Claps Back

“There’s a difference between a good woman and a maid,” the 24-year-old’s rant began. “There’s a difference between a good woman, and a ‘do girl.’ You get where I’m going? With Finesse, he wants a servant.” Banks then addressed Finesse’s comments about her using her phone immediately after opening her eyes, pointing out that she conducts most of her business through her cell. “I’m about to get up, make sure everything’s straight, check on my people, check on my account, and then we can get up and talk about what you wanna eat for breakfast.”

The rap diva told listeners, “This n*gga want a servant who can get on they knees and kiss his toes. I’m just not that girl! It’s somebody out there for him to do that, it just ain’t me.” Banks also made it known that she still thinks the Memphis native is a “good person” and “funny,” but knows that they’re not meant to be together.

Nicki Minaj Diss Tweets: Rapper Says Other Labels Pay For Online Hate

by

To achieve her coveted status as Queen of Rap, Nicki Minaj has been through plenty of tough moments in the spotlight. She has an undeniably fiery Sagittarian personality. This often puts her at the centre of controversy, but earlier this week, the mother of one revealed during a live stream that at least some of the hate sent her way online is paid for by the record labels of her competitors. The conversation took place on Tuesday (March 7). At the time, she was chatting with Rah Ali about the industry’s climate currently.

“Labels and management companies paying for viral tweets and paying for Nicki diss tweets. So now it’s kind of like, if I don’t remind them that we’re actually here to rap, who will?” she explained. Afterward, the Trinidadian artist said she doesn’t want to hear her name in the same breath as the other rappers. “Don’t ever put me in the same motherf*cking sentence, you know,” she ranted. “Don’t use my name.”

Nicki Minaj Exposes the Industry

As the audio of Minaj speaking her mind continues to make rounds, more people are sharing their opinions. “Narcissist,” one Twitter user labelled the “Super Freaky Girl” before adding, “Labels are not pressed about her like she wants.” Another person joked, “WHO paying??? And why ain’t I get offered a check?” Someone else, still, suggested that “she needs to realize that the [general public] just don’t like her.”

Elsewhere in the replies, others have been pointing out that Minaj has never shied away from feuds. “She’s telling her hand because that’s literally what she had done to Cardi,” someone speculated. “She’s afraid of her karma tbh.” More recently, the 40-year-old appeared to throw shade at Megan Thee Stallion during her surprise Rolling Loud appearance.

Recent Rap Beef

During Lil Wayne’s set, Nicki Minaj surprised the audience with some throwback favourites like “Bed Rock,” “High School,” and “Truffle Butter,” as well as her own solo releases. Additionally, she cracked a joke about not “f*cking with horses since Christopher Reeve,” a bar from her new “Red Ruby Da Sleeze” track many are perceiving as shade towards the Houston Hottie. In videos circulating online from the festival, it sounds as though the crowd wasn’t very impressed by the drama.

“Nicki Minaj tried to clock Megan Thee Stallion with that horse bar only for the crowd to stare back at her in silence,” one tweet reads. “That’s definitely one way to be humbled.” Check it out in the video above, and read all about the Queen artist’s recent beef with Latto here.

Lil Yachty & Mariah The Scientist Beef Over Dating Rumours

by

Like many others in the music industry, Mariah the Scientist didn’t always plan on becoming a singer. She came onto the scene with a bang in 2019, sharing her MASTER project including popular titles like “Beetlejuice,” “Reminders,” and “Note to Self.” In the years since, she’s given us 2021’s RY RY WORLD featuring Young Thug and Lil Baby, as well as last year’s Buckles Laboratories Presents: The Intermission four-pack EP.

Before she became known as Young Thug’s current love interest, and an R&B starlet in her own right, Mariah was a student at St. John’s University in New York. She was previously accepted at the school on a biology scholarship, hence her stage name, but ultimately dropped out to pursue a career in music. Before she was involved with the YSL head, the “Church” songstress was rumoured to be with Lil Yachty, who some think is the real reason she walked away from her post-secondary education.

Mariah’s Life Before Music

As XXL reports, earlier this weekend a tweet that brought attention back to the rumoured pair’s years-old drama appeared online. “How do you go to school to be an anesthesiologist and [end] up flunking out [because] of Lil Yachty?” the account holder asked, earning thousands of likes. In a series of since-deleted posts of his own, the “Broccoli” hitmaker spoke out on the situation. “Lol why do y’all keep trying me over this woman?” he asked. “I been [quiet] for so long but [please] stop making up this weird ass false narrative.”

He went on to call out the Scientist for staying silent as well, writing, “and the fact Mariah just let all these lies go on is weird to me. Y’all really be on d*ck about shit y’all [know] nothing about… Go touch grass.” Of course, the drama didn’t stop there. When another internet troll suggested that Yachty got a friend of the 25-year-old’s pregnant, he shut down that gossip too. “This is also just not true. Lmao, they were never friends… EVER, never met. Rarely had a full conversation. They just followed each other… [YOU] N*GGAS [ARE] WEIRD!!!!!!!!!!!”

Lil Yachty Clears His Name, The Scientist Responds

Further clearing his name in another tweet, the “Poland” artist added, “and me and Mariah wasn’t dating at the time… Again!!!!!! Only time I’ma say this. Leave me out of it,” his rant concluded. When Yachty finished speaking his truth, it was the Scientist’s turn to enter the chat. “I know a n*gga ain’t having [something to] say ’bout [something] I don’t ever speak on,” she wrote on the same app. “Miles [you] got to be dizzy, I will air [you] out on this bitch,” her since-removed response read.

DJ Envy Calls Cap On Angela Yee’s “The Breakfast Club” Comments, Erica Mena & Lil Mama Join In

by

Angela Yee’s departure from The Breakfast Club came as a surprise to many. Still, with so many years in the industry under her belt, the media personality isn’t having a hard time staying booked and busy. Unfortunately for her, that may all be about to change thanks to comments she made on the Tamron Hall Show about her time spent working alongside DJ Envy and Charlamagne tha God. According to her, working in a male-dominated environment left her feeling a lack of support while doing her job.

“I was the only woman who worked there, too. When it came to producers, camera people – and it wasn’t an easy room for me to be in,” the 47-year-old vented earlier this week. “I feel like I did need more like backup you know because even things that I felt, as a woman… Somebody can’t understand your point of view because they’re not coming from where you come from. So that was hard for me too, to be the only woman there.” As footage of Yee’s interview continues to circulate, one of her former cohosts is calling cap.

DJ Envy Denies Yee’s Claims

In @theshaderoom’s comment section, DJ Envy dropped by to defend The Breakfast Club. “That’s just not true,” he wrote. “There are plenty of women that work behind the scenes on the @breakfastclubam.” Elsewhere in the same comment section, TV personality Erica Mena had a few things to say as well. “Is this the same woman who helped DJ Shrimp play along in living this double life once upon a time? One of the few at the time that actually knew the truth of him being married (because for years he never openly acknowledge that – which is why I was one of many he was with),” she began.

Afterward the mother of three accused Yee of knowingly letting her hook up with a married man, she added, “[She] still joined in with him, fabricating this cry world scenario on the radio just so he can save face in his broken marriage. The same woman that spoke about my child on air just [to] help him degrade me?! The f*cking nerve! Boy, do things come full circle!”

Erica and Lil Mama Speak Their Truth

As more receipts exposing the Lip Service hostess have been coming out, a former guest on The Breakfast Club, Lil Mama, is also speaking her truth. She was previously left in tears during her stint on the show and obviously feels as though Yee didn’t do anything to help her from feeling like the only woman in the room at that moment.

“Oh PLEASE, she was up there playing foul games too,” the “Lip Gloss” artist pointed out. “She has helped make multiple women (of colour especially) feel like the only woman in that room numerous times. #RockThrowingHandHidingBitch.” Keep scrolling to read the starlet’s comments about Angela Yee for yourself, and check back later for more pop culture news.

Latto Reacts After Haters Call Her Out For Wearing Same Panties In Different Photos

by

Latto has obviously never been one to let the internet dull her confidence. This weekend, the 777 hitmaker reminded haters of that while expertly clearing one of them on Twitter. On Sunday (January 29), account user @extraathique shared two curvaceous photos of the rap diva on social media, accusing her of outfit repeating.

For any normal person, sporting the same look generally isn’t questionable. For one of the most well-known up-and-coming lyricists, however, there’s far more pressure to keep your wardrobe looking fresh and fierce.

Interestingly, the photos the Twitter user is comparing don’t specifically find Latto donning the same threads. Still, she does tease a sneaky look at what appears to be the same pair of cheetah-print panties in both images. Apparently, wearing the same pair more than once is a carnal celebrity sin.

“Can’t afford new panties?” they asked the fashionista in the caption. It’s worth noting that they failed to officially tag her in the mean post. On the left, the Atlanta-based starlet wears a hot pink Juicy Couture sweatsuit. She looks in the bathroom mirror while a photographer captures her bodacious behind.

In the right image, Latto opted for a Canadian tuxedo look, sporting low-rise denim jeans with flashy pocket bling and a fur-trimmed cropped jacket as she looks back at the cameraman.

While she may not have been directly mentioned, the 24-year-old still got word of the hate and didn’t hesitate to clap back at the immature account.

“Oh no, it’s the panty police,” she drily wrote, earning upwards of 90K likes since yesterday afternoon.

Many are coming to Latto’s defence in the replies. “N*ggas really finna act like they ain’t ever washed and wore the same pair of draws before,” one person clapped back.

“Bruh there’s packs of like 12 or more you can get on Amazon that all look like that,” another pointed out. “@Latto is right and wants to stay that way,” someone else chimed in. “Continue to be normal. Your true supporters respect it. Don’t go broke to keep up with social media opinions.”

Aside from the internet haters dissing her for getting sufficient wear out of her panties, Latto has also been keeping her fans entertained with new music. This past weekend, she dropped off a freestyle over SZA’s S.O.S. joint, “Smoking On My Ex Pack.”

DJ Mustard Paying For Chanel Thierry’s Living Expenses & Credit Card Bills Amid Divorce

by

Mid-way through 2022, news of DJ Mustard and Chanel Thierry’s divorce shocked many in the music industry. The long-time lovers were together for years prior to the producer’s rise to fame (12 in total). She previously described their separation as “more than heartbreaking.”

Before they were married in 2020, they had three children together. “Finally after three years we decided to take a step out on fate, and date. When I got pregnant with Kiy I was so scared, you told me ‘I got you, I got us.’ I dropped out of college, moved out my mom’s, stayed in YG’s garage for a while (yup, that’s what love will do). Then to your moms, until we got enough money to get our apt,” she recalled of how their family came to be.

Fast forward to 2023, and Mustard and Thierry are feuding like never before. According to documents obtained by Radar Online, his co-parent claims that he’s failing to meet the terms of their financial agreement. However, the California native shut down these allegations, coming back with a court filing of his own.

The DJ says that his ex is making the process difficult for them both. At the same time, he’s been paying for several of her living expenses as well as supporting their offspring.

The new documents reveal that Mustard is seeking joint legal and physical custody of their kids. As for child support, he’s willing to pay the previously agreed-upon amount of $18,342 a month. While it sounds high, Thierry originally requested upwards of $80k for the same payment.

“Chanel’s claim that I have starved her out financially since separation is a flat-out lie,” the 32-year-old writes in his filing. “From the time Chanel and I separated in May 2022, I continued to uphold my obligation to support her and the children. I continued to pay all of Chanel’s living expenses, including all of her credit card bills. I also continued paying Chanel’s housing costs and the children’s expenses including private school tuition.”

The father of three also believes his ex is disregarding their joint parenting plan. Consequently, he says the public is holding him in a “false and defamatory light.”

In response to his, Thierry disputed every saying she was being financially starved. “I cannot control what the media outlets pull from my social media page and what they infer from my writings,” she wrote. On the advice of her attorney, she’s also been “more cautious” about her social media interactions amid the divorce.

The exes began mediation early this month. The family matriarch allegedly said that the music star hasn’t been agreeing to anything “that would benefit the children and not himself.”

Before things became increasingly heated between the former couple, Mustard took a moment last spring to address some of the circulating rumours. At the time, rumour had it that Chanel cheated on him, resulting in their union’s demise.

Azealia Banks Cuts Ties With Parlophone Record Label, Says They’re “Silly Fragile White Liars”

by

In the past, Azealia Banks has thrown shade at no shortage of fellow celebrities. In particular, she’s been publicly hating on figures like Kanye West, Eminem, and Beyoncé for the internet’s entertainment. Her latest rant, though, finds the “Luxury” artist dissing her own record label.

As Dazed reports, the New Yorker confirmed her deal with Parlophone in November 2022. At the time she took to her Instagram Story to share the good news, writing, “Bitches I just got signed to Warner/Parlophone UK! I’m coming home. I did it. I wasn’t going to let you down.”

The label later verified the news on its own Twitter account. However, it seems the relationship between them and Banks has taken a turn for the worst in the nearly three months since. Earlier this week, she ranted about her experiences in a series of Stories written over a black screen.

“This staff is full of really silly fragile white liars,” she began before dubbing the roster to be “full of corny losers.” Among her fellow signees are acts like Coldplay, David Guetta, and Sam Ryder of Eurovision Song Contest fame. “Like how many idiots does it take to screw in a fucking lightbulb?” the controversial star’s post went on.

It seems Banks is feeling frustration over delays in her music dropping. Her previously teased “New Bottega” single will be available on streaming this week, she says. “That shit was stressing me TF OUT,” the 31-year-old added of working Parlophone.

Of course, she didn’t stop there. “I don’t get dropped, I drop the label,” another Story reads, referencing lyrics from Jay-Z’s “On to the Next One.” Afterward, she wrote “LMAO PUSSIES” for good measure.

At this time, Parlophone hasn’t responded to Banks’ comments.

Banks is famously known for her Instagram antics, and late last year, some fans were concerned that the platform gave her the boot after she publicly dissed Nicki Minaj.

Chrisean Rock Reveals Pregnancy, Blueface Denies Being The Father

by

Just when you thought Blueface and Chrisean Rock’s antics couldn’t be any more toxic, a positive pregnancy test has entered the chat. On Friday (January 20), the reality starlet surprised the rapper on his 26th birthday, revealing that she’s once again with child – and she fully intends on keeping it this time.

In the past, the 22-year-old has been candid about having multiple past abortions due to unplanned pregnancies. She previously said that the next time she tests positive, she wants to keep it, so the news doesn’t exactly come as a surprise to fans. “Guess how many heartbeats?” she wrote on a photo posted to her story showing three positive results.

Blueface appears to be shocked and in denial over the situation. “To answer y’all questions, yes me [and] Rock are officially done. It’s strictly business, I tried it [and] clearly it wasn’t giving. Before she announces… She’s pregnant with somebody else’s child, not mine.”

“Rock has had encounters with 10 different men in the last year,” he alleged in another tweet. “Until I see [a] DNA test then it’s not mine.” To this, she said, “Blue, tried lightly. God don’t like ugly fr. Boy, I don’t need you lol I want [you], that’s the difference.”

The Baltimore native continued the social media beef with a post of her own. “So what happens [when] you eat all ya evil words,” she began. “I haven’t sexually been active with no one but [you and] plus there’s can a DNA test… [And I don’t] need [your] money, I got my money. I don’t need a baby daddy, I’m just having this child because I don’t want to keep aborting.”

Blueface went on to throw more shade in another post, writing, “I know, I know. Y’all thought she was all about me… Me too lol, but the facts are facts. Being my BM would be a blessing.” Naturally, the post caught Chrisean’s attention, and she clapped back, “It’s a blessing to have a Rock like me.”

After all the back and forth on Twitter, the Crazy In Love star hopped on Instagram Live to give followers more details on all the drama. “I got a baby in the oven and I make my own money,” she insisted while riding in the back of a car.

“If you really do want me to boss up so bad that I leave you and be on my own shit, please don’t say that’s what you wish. I love you, I want you to have fun, do whatever, like this is your birthday n*gga,” she openly said to Blueface. “I’m not trying to take away your birthday, but my mom said some real shit on the phone.”

Essentially, Rock’s mother asked her to consider her own personal wants. “I don’t want to abort a kid, I been aborting since I met this dude,” she emotionally added. “I was aborting at first because we wasn’t as serious, and I didn’t have all my money together. But now that I make over six figures, n*gga I don’t need you, I can tell the kids that you died. I don’t need a baby daddy, I don’t need child support. I got God, my friends… I’m keeping this baby for me, I want a new beginning.”
