Travis Scott Receives Praise From The Barbz After Scintillating “FTCU (SLEEZEMIX)” Verse

by

Travis Scott is easily one of the biggest artists in hip-hop right now. Overall, his album Utopia was a bit polarizing, however, it was still one of the biggest albums of 2023. Furthermore, he went on a tour that also did extremely well. Now, he is on a bit of a break, however, he is still very much in high demand. Even if his features have been hit or miss, artists know that his fanbase will consume anything he does. The artist streams incredibly well, and it has led to appearances on major albums and song remixes.

On Friday, Scott was on Nicki Minaj’s SLEEZEMIX version of “FTCU.” This new version of the track also came with features from the likes of Chris Brown and Sexyy Red. You can listen to the official audio, below. As you will hear, Scott got his very own beat switch. This is kind of amusing when you consider how Scott is known for his beat switches and expensive-sounding production. Either way, he certainly delivers a solid performance here.

As you can see in the tweets below, fans were feeling Scott’s performance on the track. There was a whole lot of praise being dished out, especially from the Barbz. It felt like the Barbz used to hate Scott thanks to the Queen and Astroworld sales debacle. However, now, everyone has made up, and some solid music is being created. If you can get praise from the Barbz, it is an accomplishment in and of itself. Hopefully, Scott uses this verse to build momentum for more solo material.

Nicki Minaj Speaks On People Who Consistently Use Others

by

Nicki Minaj’s fans will famously follow her wherever she goes. The Barbz are notoriously ruthless in online spaces and have been showing up in bulk to her Pink Friday 2 tour shows all year. Unsurprisingly, the Barbz listen whenever Nicki speaks which is why she’s made a habit of going live on various social media platforms to talk with them over the years. That was the case recently when she seemingly didn’t have anything specific to talk about but accidentally stumbled into a memorable moment.

Nicki discussed “users,” also known as people who consistently use others to get what they want. “They don’t stop being users. They stop using that person and they go on to another and another,” she said during a livestream. Because she was unspecific, fans ran to some wild places trying to find out who she may be talking about. Some think she’s talking about artists who collaborate with her and then turn around and take shots at her afterward. Others thought she might even be talking about certain members of her own fanbase. Check out some of the debate among her fans reacting to the comments below.

Nicki Minaj Discusses “Users”

Speaking of fans in Nicki Minaj’s comments, right now they all seem to want one thing. A few weeks ago she announced that she and Sexyy Red teamed up for a special remix of her song “FTCU.” The track originally came from her new album Pink Friday 2 which dropped last year. It’s been weeks since the announcement and there hasn’t been any updates on the song yet.

Fans got particularly impatient when Nicki recently took to Twitter to wish Sexyy Red a happy birthday. Though plenty of fans also shared wishes with Nicki’s collaborator, others felt like it was yet another tease in the direction of their upcoming song. What do you think about Nicki Minaj’s discussion of “users?” Who do you think she’s referring to when she talk about those who just repeatedly use others? Let us know in the comment section below.

Nicki Minaj Snatches Mic From Fan On “Pink Friday 2” Tour

by

Earlier this month, Nicki Minaj finally kicked off her eagerly anticipated Pink Friday 2 world tour. As expected, it’s been a hit among fans, who have successfully sold out various shows. So far, Nicki’s come through with special guests like Tyga, unveiled countless fun clips and photos from the shows, and more. She’s even allowed a few lucky attendees to share the spotlight, offering up her mic to the crowd.

One of these specially selected Barbz recently had her once-in-a-lifetime opportunity cut short, however, and later received backlash for messing up the song. The Barb in question, a TikToker named Patrice @nsvtravelagent, came forward this week to share her side of the story. She shared a clip of the moment, which shows her singing “The Night Is Still Young” for a few moments before Nicki snatched her microphone back because she forgot the lyrics.

Fan Denies Forgetting “The Night Is Still Young” Lyrics

@nsvtravelagent

♬ original sound – Patrice – Travel Agent

According to Patrice, however, she didn’t forget the lyrics at all. In her TikTok, she explains that she’s not embarrassed or ashamed of the moment, because it was the rest of the crowd that threw her off. Fortunately, the fan didn’t let the unfortunate moment put a damper on her experience. “I had me a great time,” she says. “I was right there, front and center, okay? Nicki was disappointed, but listen, I’m sorry Nicki but I was just singing the song.”

This isn’t the first time a performer confiscated a microphone after a fan forgot their lyrics, however. In November, something similar happened at a Tamar Braxton concert, though the fan insists they were simply trying to record the moment. What do you think of Nicki Minaj confiscating her mic from one of the Barbz at her concert? What about the Barb sharing their side of the story? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below, and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

“Pink Friday 2” Reactions: Nicki Minaj Stunned, Slayed, Shocked & Soured On New Album

Now that Nicki Minaj’s highly anticipated fifth studio album is finally here, the Barbz and music fans at large are spending a lot of time breaking it down. Of course, it’s pretty early to really come to a conclusion on what the consensus behind Pink Friday 2 is. We’re sure that some beats will grow on us, we will understand bars more with each listen, some features won’t be as exciting as when we first heard them, and so on. But on Onika’s 41st birthday, on the very first day we got our ears on it, how is it shaping up? Well, according to the fans… good! But it depends on who you ask.

Obviously, a lot of fans of Megan Thee Stallion, Latto, or other femcees probably don’t like Pink Friday 2 that much. Apparently Nicki Minaj had plenty of subliminal disses and shots for the female rap game, which is disappointing to see from just a solidarity standpoint. With these conflicts and comparisons in mind, you’ll obviously find a lot of hate towards the project online from other female rap fans, which is very understandable. If you’ve liked the Barb before, you’ll probably like this record, but if you prefer other styles, it might not do much for you.

Furthermore, there’s also a lot of convo about the featured guests: Young Money (Lil Wayne & Drake), Future, Lil Uzi Vert, and more.

That’s on the track “Needle” if you’re curious to check it out. If you want to see more wild reactions to Pink Friday 2, Nicki Minaj’s latest nuke-drop on the industry, check them out below.

Nicki Minaj’s “Red Ruby Da Sleeze” Visual Has The Barbz Praising Her On Twitter

by

Few fanbases ride for their favourite artists the way The Barbz do for Nicki Minaj. On Saturday (May 13), the Trinidadian finally unleashed the visual for her “Red Ruby Da Sleeze” single from earlier this year, for which she linked up with reality starlet Brooke Bailey. In her usual fashion, Minaj rocks plenty of outfit changes throughout the footage and certainly didn’t hesitate to bring her usual confidence and attitude.

Shortly after premiering the highly anticipated music video, the Queen of Rap turned to Twitter to read some fan reactions. “What’s your favourite thing about the #RedRubyVideo y’all?” she asked followers to weigh in last night. “And I’m doing a Q&A using the hashtags. Watch it on YouTube RIGHT NOW then come back here to holla @ me.” As per usual, The Barbz were quick to follow Minaj’s instructions, showing her standout parts from the “Red Ruby” video while also asking questions about upcoming projects and her personal life.

It seems that many social media users noticed the same details in the “Red Ruby” visual, such as Minaj and Bailey’s expert synchronization, as well as the former’s ability to talk down a busy city street without being recognized. Elsewhere, several others made note of the 40-year-old’s body, which is looking slim thicker than ever before.

It’s been a busy year for Nicki already, but that doesn’t mean she’s looking to slow down. Aside from her own throwback-sampling solo release, we’ve also heard her connect with Kim Petras, Ice Spice, and NBA YoungBoy so far in 2023. On top of that, the lyricist has been hinting at an upcoming album, as well as a tour that’s sure to rival Beyoncé’s ongoing RENAISSANCE venture.

Latto Mourns Her Late Friend, Nicki Minaj’s Fans The Barbz Hatefully Troll Her

by

Coachella is done and dusted for another year, but the iconic performances given are still sitting fresh in the minds of fans. Among those who impressed festival goers two weekends in a row this year is Latto. During her first appearance on the stage, she previewed a new song featuring a diss seemingly aimed at Nicki Minaj. The following Friday (April 21), “Put It On Da Floor” arrived on streamers, earning the 777 Radio host plenty of love from her fans. Unfortunately, the Queen of Rap’s own followers – known as The Barbz – have taken far less kindly to Latto’s antics.

Earlier this week, the “Lottery” artist revealed that a close friend of hers named Monta suddenly passed away. Latto and the late man have been in each other’s life since childhood. “You broke my heart n*gga,” she wrote in the caption of her Instagram tribute post, which includes their grade five class photo and a select few other heartfelt memories. Over on Twitter, the 24-year-old continued to mourn, this time writing, “I’LL NEVER MONTA!!!! WHY U DO THIS TO ME 💔💔💔💔💔.”

Latto Pays Tribute to Monta

As expected many of Latto’s followers sent love in her time of need. Others, however, (many of them Barbz) saw this as the perfect opportunity to kick the rap diva while she’s down. “Hopefully your music career next,” one hate comment under her post reads. Another says, “I think I speak for everyone when I say we don’t care 💔💔💔💔💔.” Elsewhere, an even more concerning reply hints at doing voodoo in hopes of attracting negativity into the Ohio-born artist’s life.

Thankfully, she’s certainly feeling the love after seeing how many are standing up for her at this time. “This girl could be posting about a BLM movement or standing up for hate crimes and these people always find a way to be rude,” one of them pointed out. Keep scrolling to see The Barbz’s hate comments aimed at Latto, as well as responses from others defending her. Afterward, tell us if you think Nicki Minaj’s fans were out of line this time in the comments below.
