“WAP” Wars: Cardi B & Nicki Minaj’s Feud Continues

Nicki Minaj’s Pink Friday 2 debut has been mostly full of celebration and excitement for the mother of one. It was previously reported that she’s due to claim the No. 1 spot on the Billboard chart, though the outlet is now allegedly dismissing some album sales after she violated a rule about asking fans to show proof of purchasing her music. As AllHipHop reports, Minaj wrote, “You can give out millions on CashApp tho,” also liking a tweet taking aim at Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s “WAP.”

When the Hustlers actress heard this news, it wasn’t long before she began reacting to telling tweets too. “The CashApp partnership for WAP was during the end of the second week,” one of them read. “It was already No. 1 and it required NO proof of purchase and didn’t even require you to be a Cardi fan.” When blogs began reporting on the drama earlier this week, the New York native didn’t hold back when jumping in the comments to set the record straight.

Ya always posting my response, but never when I’m being antagonized and lied on… I was minding my business!!” the “Bodak Yellow” artist vented on Thursday (December 14).

Blueface Targets NLE Choppa & DJ Akademiks On Social Media: “Welcome To The Circus”

Blueface has been beefing with both of his baby mamas for the past few days, and now, two other famous faces are entering the mix. Off the Record host, DJ Akademiks and the Californian were trading shots on Twitter on Sunday (December 10), with the former seemingly suggesting that Chrisean Rock’s son, Junior, is his child, not Blue’s. “In today’s world, telling the truth is considered ‘exposing,’” the father of three wrote yesterday. “Ain’t no shame in my game, Ak, I hit yo b**ch as well, sorry man.”

Assuming the 26-year-old was talking about his former lover, the podcaster responded, “Dawg, Celina got hit by the whole world. She’s ain’t ever been my b**ch tho. Hope [you ain’t] go raw tho playa.” To this, Blue clarified that he meant Akademiks’ current partner. “And I just snuck a swab… The DNA test came back… That baby [you] keep claiming [is your] son… Is actually mine,” the embattled blogger clapped back. “I’m cool [with you] being the dad that stepped up tho.”

Blueface and DJ Akademiks Trade Shots on Twitter

Rather than taking this message personally, the Cr*zy In Love star laughed it off. “Aye brother, get in line [and] take a number 😂. It’s a list of potential fathers, welcome to the circus 🎪🤡,” he posted on Sunday afternoon before turning his Twitter fingers toward NLE Choppa on Monday (December 11). Things are heating up between the creatives after the latter’s baby mama, Marissa, called out Blue for trying to speak with her at a party recently.

“He hopped on that no rizz train till he seen I had that number now I’m his ‘Shotta Flow (Remix)’ friend 😂. Don’t call me about no b**ch boy,” Blueface wrote to the Cottonwood artist on Twitter to start off the week. “NLE been calling my [phone] all day about his baby momma but I’m tender 😂,” he added. Check back in with HNHH later for more updates on all the drama.

Did Cardi B & Offset Split? Partners In Rhyme Unfollow Each Other On Instagram

Cardi B and Offset’s marriage hasn’t always been perfect – in fact, it was only a few years ago that the rap diva found herself filing for divorce from her husband. At the time, the “Walk It Talk It” artist’s infidelity was causing serious issues between them, though in an interview with Jason Lee earlier this year, Cardi made it sound as though she and Set have come incredibly far in resolving their issues. Virtually every outing we’ve seen them at together lately has looked full of positivity, but as 2023 comes to a close, the New Yorker once again has us worried about the state of her marriage.

On Monday (December 4), the mother of two’s Instagram Story lit up with a message pouring out some emotional feelings. “You know when you just outgrow relationships?” Cardi asked her followers. “I’m tired of protecting people’s feelings. I GOTTA PUT MYSELF FIRST,” she added, causing some to speculate that confessions about Offset’s unsavoury behaviour could be coming soon.

Cardi B and Offset Worry Fans with Recent Social Media Activity

Later in the evening, various blogs took note of the fact that the “Clout” collaborators are no longer following one another on Instagram. We’ve seen them pull similar stunts in the past, seemingly to draw more attention to their music, but this time around, the Bardi Gang genuinely can’t tell if their favourite rap diva is in emotional turmoil, or just playing on their emotions. The only thing sure to bring us answers is time, and we’ll update you on the latest as it comes.

Even if trouble is afoot for Cardi B and Offset, that doesn’t mean all is negative in the world of celebrity romance. Today, music lovers were shocked to find out that Ashanti and Nelly are expecting their first child together after recently reconciling their decades-old relationship.

Lil Kim & Cardi B Comparisons Fly After Balenciaga Show, Latter Accuses Haters Of Photoshop

Even though she has yet to follow up her debut Invasion of Privacy album with a sophomore effort all these years later, Cardi B is still one of the world’s favourite rap divas. The Barbz might try to dispute that. However, the fact is, the New Yorker has been booked and busy nearly constantly in recent years, in virtually every creative industry. She has a few collaborative singles with people like FendiDa Rappa, Megan Thee Stallion, and her husband, Offset, and the fashion community has been keeping Cardi looking her best on red carpets and music video sets.

Elsewhere, Balenciaga convinced the 31-year-old to make her runway debut this past weekend, and unfortunately, it’s not being entirely positively received. Critics online are comparing Cardi’s unique makeup look from yesterday’s big event to the face of Lil Kim, who’s long faced criticism from outsiders for her past attempts to radically alter her appearance with plastic surgery. “Cardi going out sad… The Lil Kim way 🙄🤢 ,” one Twitter user wrote while comparing images of the two lyricists.

“Baby please tell me it’s the makeup making her nose look crimped up like that,” another person chimed in. When she saw the hate for herself, Bardi was quick to clear the haters. “It’s the photoshop,” she clapped back. “You know you gagged them too hard when the haters gotta start making edits.”

While Cardi B was strutting down the Balenciaga runway, plenty of famous faces were cheering her on from the front row. Among them were Lil Wayne and 2 Chainz, as well as Sexyy Red and Kim Kardashian. The stars were surely happy to see each other. Still, they didn’t impress social media users calling them out for supporting the fashion brand after its previous cancellation.

Did Jaidyn Alexis & Blueface Split? Karlissa Saffold Lashes Out At Former’s Mom As Sleuths Speculate

Jaidyn Alexis and Blueface have been on a wild rollercoaster ride together since high school, and we’ve lost count of how many times they’ve separated and reconciled since then. Because the couple shares two young children, their role in each other’s lives is permanent for the foreseeable future. Now they’ve also got the 25-year-old’s recording contract with MILF Music and Columbia Records tying them together. Ahead of the weekend, the “Thotiana” rapper and his fiancee raised eyebrows when social media sleuths realized he’d taken down all photos of them together from his Instagram page.

Unsurprisingly, Blue’s mom, Karlissa Saffold, has some thoughts on the situation, taking her anger out on Jaidyn’s mother in a nasty rant. “When them b**ches was over there getting drunk all day, rubbing out they livers and s**t, I was the one driving all around in circles, doing all the donuts,” the Porter family matriarch recalled after seeing the “Barbie” hitmaker’s family’s reaction to her telling an emotional story about her son and his then-girlfriend eating the last of her chicken when she was struggling financially.

Karlissa Saffold Has a Message for Jaidyn Alexis’ Mom

“This internet been bashing your daughter for five years, I ain’t heard you motherf**king take up for her once,” the reality starlet called out Alexis’ mom. To her point, though Saffold is guilty of bashing her future daughter-in-law online in the past, she has also defend the “Stewie” artist when no one else would. “I done been on every social media and blog protecting and taking up for your big head baby,” she declared. “I sent y’all what mother to mother should do when one of our kids is acting disrespectful. Sent y’all her disrespect to me and y’all motherf**kers got quiet.”

Karlissa Saffold’s message for Jaidyn Alexis’ family members ahead of the weekend certainly wasn’t kind, though we did see a change of heart in her attitude when it came time to defend someone else in the public eye. When Blueface’s mom heard what Tokyo Toni had been saying about Beyonce and Blue Ivy, she quickly rushed to the 11-year-old’s defence, much to the delight of social media users. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Tokyo Toni Disses Beyonce & Blue Ivy, Karlissa Saffold Comes To Their Rescue

Blac Chyna has been on a radical path of self-transformation over the past 12 months, but we can’t say the same for her mom, Tokyo Toni. As we enter December, the latter continues her antics of talking trash about other celebrities on social media, most recently going off on Beyonce and her firstborn daughter, Blue Ivy, as they celebrate the success of their RENAISSANCE concert film landing in theatres. “Dear Beyonce, try again. Girl please, get out of here,” Toni began her rant ahead of the weekend.

“Scripted, made-up pieces and portions. Dear Beyonce, can you do me a favour? Can you go to the Moon? Build your house there with your husband, and your kids,” the embattled entertainer went on. “Why are you grooming our Black children through your daughter?” Toni asked the Houston native. “I don’t care nothing about your BeyHive, those lil demons will get sprayed down with my mouth – pure Holy water,” she further threatened any fans who dare defend the Carter family. Despite her words of caution, Blueface’s mom, Karlissa Saffold, appeared in @theneighborhoodtalk’s comment section with a message for the 51-year-old.

“Girl, if you don’t stop messing with Blue Ivy!” the reality star stepped up to bat for the 11-year-old. “She is proving the Black children early work ethics through generational talent. Don’t discourage her because she ain’t out here getting pregnant and waiting to be nobody baby momma like us. Don’t do her,” Saffold added.

While Karlissa Saffold may feel entitled to call out Tokyo Toni for her wrongdoings, it wasn’t so long ago that the internet was coming after her for bashing Sexyy Red. Blueface’s mom has since apologized for her hateful comments, but still, some feel she should think twice before critiquing her contemporary next time.

Rod Wave Denies Stealing Boosie Badazz Sample: “Find You A Hobby F**k Ni**a”

When Rod Wave first caught wind of the hate Boosie Badazz was spreading about him online, the 25-year-old took things in stride. He offered to have a discussion with the Louisana native so they can agree to an amount of money to squash the situation, but instead, Boosie is hinting at filing a lawsuit and dropping a diss track about Rod. At this point, the “Great Gatsby” artist has had enough of the drama and has taken to platforms like Twitter and Instagram to get some things off his chest.

“Jus ‘cuz you know ’bout da original song [doesn’t] mean I stole it? [You] d*mb b**ch,” he wrote in a now-deleted tweet. “I ain’t never stole s**t, five platinum albums. Find [you] a hobby f**k ni**a. [You] b**ches don’t even [f**k with me], speaking on me. Mind yo bidness b**ch,” his rant continued. While that likely helped air out some of his feelings, it wasn’t enough for Wave to call it a night. Instead, he hopped on his IG Story with more to say.

Rod Wave Grows Weary of Boosie Badazz’s Allegations

“It was okay for me to be a f**king teenager listening to they music,” the Florida native vented to his followers on Tuesday (November 21). “Supporting them and s**t, f**king with them… How they finna be bringing up all these lyrics like I stole some s**t? It’s public record. I ain’t stole no s**t. Tryna come up with some s**t like I stole they s**t.”

Among others who are weighing in on the validity of Boosie Badazz’s bitterness is Fat Joe. The Terror Squad member can name at least 20 instances that would give him grounds to claim his music was “stolen” by other artists but doesn’t seem too bothered about bringing the potential legal battles to court.

DJ Akademiks Clowns Saucy Santana For Diss Track’s Low Streams

And so, the DJ Akademiks and Saucy Santana social media beef continues for another week, and it hasn’t gotten any nicer. For those unaware, the two are going at each other online for Ak’s comments on Yung Miami, and it just devolved into a clowning fest. Its latest installment concerns the Afro-Dominican rapper’s diss track against the media personality, which apparently didn’t perform particularly well on Spotify. As such, the former Everyday Struggle host took to every corner of the online space to blast Santana for this perceived failure. Even if you think numbers don’t matter, this is beef: folks in it don’t have the luxury of making excuses.

“So the silver back gorilla wit the beard and the bbl… booked studio time to diss big Ak,” DJ Akademiks’ recent Instagram post on Sunday (November 19) read. “Only to make $32 off the diss song. Man yalll gotta stop playing wit me… I Ain’t into that diddy s**t.. I’m Jamaican . Stop playing !” In addition, this post also showed what else he said about the exchange on Twitter, plus a clip of him going on the track’s Spotify page to show its total streams as of recording that. For those curious, the page shows that “Meet Me in Da Skreets” has 8,290 streams as of writing this article.

“All that clout chasing for 8000 streams on Spotify in 9 days,” DJ Akademiks wrote on Twitter. “This why the city girls flopped. Y’all be thinking these ppl hot off comments on ig… nobody stream they s**t. They trash asf. [Jamaican flag emoji].” “To put this in perspective…” he continued in a quote tweet to his previous message. “1,000,000 streams on Spotify = $4000 in Royalty Payouts. 8000 streams means he earned a measly $32 from dissing me. and yall think im worried about a silver back gorilla looking n***a w/ a bbl and a beard and acrylic nails. U can’t get hot like this.”

Meanwhile, what do you think about this development? Is Ak making a big deal or will Saucy need to do a lot in order to come out on top after this? Whatever the case, drop your thoughts on this in the comments section down below. As always, log back into HNHH for the latest news and updates on DJ Akademiks and Saucy Santana.

Benzino & Coi Leray’s Financial Beef: He Says She Tried To Embarrass Him

Benzino hopped back on Instagram Live to talk about his current struggles with his daughter, Coi Leray. Moreover, he previously expressed a lack of embarrassment at the fact that she recently revealed, concerning that he asked her for money. Now, the media personality explained that he didn’t feel embarrassed by this, although he probably won’t make that request to his kids again. As such, he asked the haters to back off, or at least to acknowledge that he doesn’t care about the backlash. Lastly, the former co-owner of The Source described himself as having “post-traumatic street syndrome,” indicating his relationship with cash.

In addition, this spat also went into why Benzino thinks Coi Leray is being dishonest about her upbringing. “She said she slept in cars, she ain’t never slept in no f***ing cars,” he ranted. “That I knew about, you know. I had my daughter five months out the year. I was with her mother until she was nine, then I had her five months out the year. She lived with me twice, in Atlanta she went to Campbell High School. I was a single dad, and I was taking care of my kids. All of my kids. And her two older brothers by two other men that wasn’t mine… looks like she’s almost brainwashed. She ain’t ever slept in no cars or sold drugs. I don’t know why she’s running with this narrative.”

“I wish that he would just respect that,” Coi Leray said of the distance in her relationship with her father. “Again, the interview was done in June. I haven’t said anything since but, respectfully, I wish that we could just keep everything offline moving forward. We don’t got to have a relationship but I’m still your kid, it is what it is. So, just respect the fact that what you’re doing is not cool.

“Instead of you congratulating me and be happy for me, you want to go online and try and use me to prove yourself to these people in this industry on why you didn’t get the respect or whatever is it that you deserve,” she continued. “I don’t want to be your clout kid. I rather us, again, just hit me offline.” For more news and the latest updates on Benzino and Coi Leray, check back in with HNHH.

Tamar Braxton Drags Tommie Lee’s Alleged Drug Use As “L&HH” Star Says Chrisean Rock Brought Her Virality

After everything that unfolded at Tamar Braxton’s Love & War concert this past weekend, emotions are running high in the music community. Above all else, there’s concern for James Wright Chanel. He’s posting from the dentist’s office this week, confirming his plans for a new set of teeth after an assault by Chrisean Rock. Opinions on the matter have been pouring in non-stop, from questions about why the Baddies cast member was even at a Braxton concert to begin with, to a select few suggesting the 46-year-old is the one to blame for her friend’s pain.

On Monday (November 13), Tamar addressed many of our burning questions in a lengthy Instagram video. She admitted to previously looking at Rock as a “little sister” figure and still seems insistent that the public avoid sending her hate at this time. Still, she hopes to see justice brought forth for James in all of this and has managed to keep mostly calm and composed amid all the turmoil. One person we’ve seen cause Braxton to step out of character is Tommie Lee, who’s been insinuating that the “Let Me Know” vocalist only invited Rock to come out to the Baltimore show to use her name for clout.

“And before someone take my phone 😘,” Braxton wrote on her Story, “if you on cocaine and your name starts with a T and [you] never even sold out a bag of blow pops… Stay silent. God bless y’all 🙏🏼✨.” She then understandably asked for the public to “let [her] and [her] team heal from this trauma in peace” over the coming weeks.

After responding to questions and critics from virtually every corner of the internet, Tamar Braxton’s Twitter fingers are likely feeling tired. Still, she found the energy to respond to Karlissa Saffold’s post about the R&B legend being responsible for her friend’s assault since Rock’s history of violence has been well-documented. Read more about that at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.
