Fivio Foreign Co-Signs “Pink Friday 2” Only To Get Clowned By Fans

Everybody is unpacking Nicki Minaj’s new album Pink Friday 2, including fellow celebrities and musicians. The one song everybody seems to be gravitating towards is “Everybody” which features Lil Uzi Vert. The track is already outpacing most of the rest of the record in Spotify streams and is going viral on platforms like TikTok. The same night the album released North West was already sharing videos of herself online dancing to the track. Earlier today, Lizzo tried her hand at a viral dance built around the track.

Another artist getting in on the “Everybody” hype is Fivio Foreign, though it may not have gone the way he intended. He posted a clip of himself listening to the song with the caption “When Nicki say ‘Fivi’ in her new song.” He’s referencing a sample that pops up often on the track, though it’s one that many fans interpreted differently from him. Many think the sample is meant to say “body” in reference to the title “Everybody.” Check out Fivio’s original video and some fan reactions to it below.

Fivio Foreign Roasted By Fans

In the comments of a repost of the video to Instagram, fans didn’t hold back. “this my level of delusion that keeps me happy lol,” one of the top comments reads. That sentiment is expressed pretty much throughout the entire comment section. “he just as delulu as me,” and “I’m this delusional when it comes to her so I absolutely feel him!” While fans are certainly having a fun time clowning on Fivio, there’s no official liner notes for Pink Friday 2 that would reveal the actual lyrics yet.

Pink Friday 2 is Nicki Minaj’s first new album in 5 years. Unsurprisingly, it’s a massive undertaking that sports some high-profile features. J. Cole, Drake, Lil Wayne, Future, and Lil Uzi Vert are just some of the features on the massive 22-track album. The album is also making waves for reportedly calling out other rappers like Latto and Megan Thee Stallion. What do you think of Fivio Foreign’s interpretation of the new Nicki Minaj song “Everybody?” Let us know in the comment section below.

Lizzo Dances To New Nicki Minaj Song On TikTok

Nicki Minaj finally shared her highly-anticipated new album Pink Friday 2 last week. Unsurprisingly, fans quickly dissected the album and a few select favorites have emerged online as big hits in the making already. The biggest breakout song of the bunch so far seems to be the track “Everybody” with Lil Uzi Vert. It’s outpacing nearly every other song on the record that wasn’t previously released with “Needle” featuring Drake as the sole exception.

Fans found “Everybody” irresistible pretty much immediately. The very night that Pink Friday 2 dropped North West was already sharing videos online of herself dancing to the song in a Barbie-themed outfit. Shortly after the album dropped Billboard ranked all 22 of the songs that appear on it. In their list, they had “Everybody” at the very top spot, which prompted a response from Nicki herself. Subsequently in a quote tweet, she explained that she originally wrote the song in just 5 minutes and that it was originally for her Call Of Duty collab. The song is already taking off on TikTok as well and one particular high-profile Nicki fan got involved. Check out Lizzo’s video dancing to the song below.

Lizzo Dancing To “Everybody”

In a new video shared to TikTok, Lizzo tries her hand at a dance choreographed to “Everybody.” It may not be as elaborate as her usual choreography. She’s performing it at home by herself in some fittingly pink loungewear. As is the case almost any time the “About Damn Time” singer comes up fans in the comments discussed her weight.

“She’s working out” one of the top comment points out observing her noticeable weight loss. “Go head Lizzo. I see the weight loss,” another comment reads in support of the singer. Additionally, other comments referenced the biggest drama that Lizzo went through this year. A few months ago she was sued by some of her backup dancers for creating a hostile workplace for her employees. What do you think of Lizzo dancing to Nicki Minaj’s new song in a TikTok? Let us know in the comment section below.

Cardi’s performance at the TikTok concert comes after she previously hinted at starting “fresh” in 2024 during a live stream on Instagram. She had been discussing her recent split from Offset. “I’ve been single for a minute now,” she said in a clip posted by Pop Crave. “But, I have been afraid to like—not afraid I just don’t know how to tell the world. But I feel like today has been a sign. The last time I got on Live I kind of wanted to tell you guys, but I didn’t know how to tell you, so I changed my mind. But it has been like this for a minute now. I just took it as a sign.” She added: “I wanna start 2024, like, fresh, open. I don’t know. I’m curious for a new life, for a new beginning. And yeah, I’m excited.”

Keke Palmer & Baby Leodis Keep It Real In New TikTok: “My Life Is Truly Unravelling At The Seams”

As Keke Palmer reflects on all the changes in her life throughout 2023, it’s likely the new mother is feeling emotional at this time. Thankfully, a long career in the spotlight has made her a pro at moving through hard feelings with grace, while still sharing her most vulnerable feelings in the public eye to hopefully help others who might be moving through similar seasons of life. The birth of her baby boy, Leodis, was a huge blessing for Keke, and initially, it seemed to be strengthening her romantic relationship with Darius Jackson. Of course, that’s since taken a turn for the worse, leaving the Hustlers actress with no choice but to file a restraining order against her ex.

The co-parents were going to appear in court earlier this month. However, that’s now taking place in the new year as Jackson’s attorney was unavailable on the 5th. In the meantime, little Leodis will spend his first holiday season with Palmer’s side of the family while she continues to heal from the physical and mental abuse that occurred behind closed doors this year. Thankfully, the black-haired beauty’s candid sense of humour always helps her move through situations with ease. On Saturday (December 9), she channelled her emotions into a TikTok, recruiting her adorable son to star alongside her.

At Least Keke Palmer Will Always Have Her Sense of Humour

“When reality TV makes everyone believe all celebrities are just one big marketing strategy and scheme, but my life is truly unravelling at the seams and I just wear trauma like a Dolce & Gabbana coat because Sharon didn’t raise no b**ch,” Palmer wrote over a clip of her and Leo dramatically posing to Nicki Minaj’s verse on “Seeing Green.” In case she had any doubt, the former child star’s supporters flocked to the comments to remind her how loved she is, surely bringing a smile to her face during these tough times.

Like Keke Palmer said, she manages to wear even the heaviest of trauma like a luxurious Dolce & Gabbana coat, which is precisely why the 30-year-old was among those featured on our annual best dressed list his holiday season. Since becoming a mother, we’ve seen Palmer stepping into her confidence like never before, and we hope that trend continues into 2024. See who else’s outfits caught our eye this year at the link below, and check back later for more hip-hop/pop culture news updates.

Sexyy Red Criticized For Reposting TikTok From Murderer

Like most of her music does, Sexyy Red’s new single “FREE MY N*GGA” has gone viral on TikTok. People have come up with plenty of clever ways to repurpose the lyrics for their own content. But some people have taken it very literally and used it as a rallying cry for people actually being freed from prison. One person in particular who made a video including the song was pretty well known on TikTok.

The video came from one of two men who made up the “E and J Gang” viral couple account on TikTok. Last year the pair were both arrested and eventually jailed over the murder of a 29-year-old man in Georgia. It’s obvious why he would see fit to make a video of his own to the new song, and Red herself caught it. She posted the video to twitter with the caption “Free Dat!!” but many online took issue with her post. Check out the video she shared below.

Fans in the comments quickly tried to inform her who the man in the video was. “Free a murdered?” one of the top comments reads. “Wayment Sexyy you need to reconsider” and “do you know what him and that man did ? smh” two other comments read. Surprisingly though, not everyone was against Red in the matter. Some comments on an Instagram repost pointed out the double standard in calling for people to be freed.

“Y’all be posting free y’all killer cousins all the time. Ion see the problem. Lol.” one of the top comments on Instagram reads. Another compared it to the many calls from across the hip-hop landscape for Young Thug to be freed. “Ain’t y’all the same one talking bout free Thug ? I’m sorry Truly humble under God ?” the comment reads. What do you think of Sexyy Red reposting a video of a man in jail for murder performing her new song? Let us know in the comment section below.

Eminem “Fortnite” Skin Used To Recreate Iconic Rap Battle From “8 Mile”: Watch

An enterprising Fortnite player has utilized several in-game assets, including the recently released Eminem skin, to recreate the final rap battle from 8 Mile. In a video posted to social media, the player incorporates audio from the film over in-game footage of Eminem’s skin squaring off with Falcon from the MCU. Falcon is portrayed by Anthony Mackie, who also played Slim Shady’s opponent at the end of 8 Mile. The clip utilizes various emotes to add to the experience, and ends with Eminem killing Falcon with a shotgun.

The original TikTok has over 1.4 million views. Furthermore, the video on X, reuploaded by an Eminem fan account, has an additional 2.1 million views. While the video has been very well-received, it also garnered praise from a very high place. “I mean… wow!” wrote Paul Rosenburg in a quote tweet. Rosenburg is Eminem’s long-time real-life manager. The Slim Shady skin was released earlier this week and marks one of the final releases before the game transitions to its next update, “Chapter Five”. As part of the pre-transition “Big Bang” event, Eminem will be performing a virtual concert inside the game.

Eminem Soundtracks Call Of Duty Trailer

However, Fortnite is not the first video game that Eminem has been involved with this year. Back in October, Slim Shady’s iconic vocals could be heard in a trailer for the multiplayer mode of Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 3. The Detroit rapper’s 2002 hit “Till I Collapse” scored a cinematic trailer showcasing the ultra-cinematic violence of the game’s multiplayer mode. Furthermore, the trailer also confirmed the news that a host of iconic maps from the original Modern Warfare trilogy will be returning for this new Modern Warfare 3. However, it’s not the rapper’s first Call Of Duty collab. Back in 2013, he released the track “Survival” for Call Of Duty: Ghosts.

While old maps and fan-favorite modes are returning, Activision is trying a few new things with Modern Warfare III. One of the biggest additions will be Cutthroat, a 3v3v3 mode that is briefly featured and highlighted in the trailer. The new features will likely be highlighted in more detail at the October 5 multiplayer preview event. Meanwhile, the game will be released on November 10. Activision has previously confirmed that cosmetics and other purchases from Modern Warfare 2 and Warzone 2.0 will carry over to the new game. The game released to mediocre reviews on November 10.

Metro Boomin Explains Why He Is Resonating With Fans, Bashes Cash Grabbing Artists

Metro Boomin has been racking up tons of awards over the past year. Both of his recent albums are still doing crazy streaming numbers. While he does have a lot of big songs, with some getting radio play, they do not have your typical “bubblegum” feel to them. When you break down his productions detail by detail, there is certainly a lot of intricacies that you will catch.

You can have superstar artists on your beats, but that alone is not enough. It is a big reason why more underground names have been dominating 2023. They do not necessarily need big names attached to their works. Artists like Danny Brown, JPEGMAFIA, Black Thought, and more put a lot of effort into what they do. Metro has certainly done that now with HEROES & VILLAINS, for example. But, he really has done it throughout the entirety of his career. That was a topic covered in his recent interview with Variety.

The publication recognized him as their producer of the year. AllHipHop grabbed some quotable excerpts from the talk and one of them takes a shot a cash-grabbing artists. The St. Louis native said, “I feel like people can just tell I care. At a time when everybody has their hand out — like, ‘Let me do this for cash; let me make a dance for TikTok’ — you can hear all the details and thought behind my music.” He brings up an interesting point and a prevalent one at that. While there are definitely benefits to platforms like TikTok, a lot of listeners have their reservations about them.

What are your initial thoughts on Metro Boomin’s comments about why he feels he is at the top of the game right now? Do you agree with the fact that there are a lot of artists making low-effort songs for cash? Is Metro the best producer in the game right now? We would like to hear what you have to say about all of this. With that in mind, be sure to leave all of your hottest takes in the comments section below.

“Bottoms Up” Thanksgiving Grace Leaves Nicki Minaj Speechless

A viral video of a group of Barbz using Nicki Minaj’s verse from “Bottoms Up” as their Thanksgiving grace has made its way to Minaj herself. “I-” was all Minaj wrote in response to the video, which also features a cardboard cutout of Minaj as the guest of honor at the table. The video was originally posted to TikTok but quickly spread across the internet, eventually making it onto Minaj’s feed on X.

The hype amongst the Barbz is growing exponentially as the December 8 release date of Pink Friday 2 draws ever closer. A promotional fragrance sold out at Macy’s within 24 hours. However, Minaj was a little perplexed by this, as she had reportedly not been told that the perfume was being released this week. Additionally, Minaj had a little fun with her fans, releasing a fake tracklist full of food puns. We’re sure fans can’t wait for the likes of “NY Strip steak ft. A1” and “Like my hunnits GREENS”.

Minaj Speaks On Her Haters

However, if there’s one group that Minaj has plenty of words for, it’s her haters. As she continues to plug Pink Friday 2, she also went after the people leveling criticism at her. “Music is a very serious business for me & MANY OF US but it’s also my F*CKING ARTTTTTTTT!!!!!!!!!!” she explained. “MY GIFT!!!!!!!! FROM GOD. Do you tell physicians how to operate on your penis holes & hair lines? Would you tell a pastor how to preach his sermon in the middle of Sunday worship? Do you tell the strippers where to position their butt holes while they on the pole tryna entertain you? Do you tell JORDAN HOW TO chew his gum & move his wrist b4 a FKING JUMP SHOT!!!??!??! Being a ppl pleaser will never make the pleaser feel pleased. So stop. Take it from me. I’ve learned the hard way for years.”

This was not Minaj’s only rant of the week. The day before Thanksgiving, Minaj went on tirade after learning that her unreleased track “Bahm Bahm” was available on streaming platforms. “Oh hello no! I want all my money back from this thievery! That would’ve been at least an extra 6 to 7 dollars & like 48 cents added to my real account b!ch,” Minaj wrote alongside a screenshots of the song climbing various streaming charts. Streaming fraud is a growing problem, and one that Spotify in particular has pledged to address.

Angel Reese Remains Away From LSU, Absent From Cayman Islands Trip

Angel Reese will seemingly miss at least two more LSU games. Reese has not been spotted in the Cayman Islands, where the Tigers are preparing to face Niagra and Virginia in the Cayman Islands Classic. Furthermore, this marks the second road event that Reese has not been with the team. The 2023 Final Four MOP has not been seen alongside her LSU teammates since being benched against Kent State on November 14. Reese was then absent from a road game on November 17 and a home game on November 20.

However, no official reason has been given for Reese’s absence. There have been claims of both academic probation and a head coach-mandated “attitude adjustment”. But Kim Mulkey has refused to answer questions about Reese’s absence and Reese herself has only spoken out to tell people “Don’t believe everything you read“. After the event in the Cayman Islands, LSU’s next game sees the Tigers host #9 Virginia Tech on November 30.

Angel Reese Addresses Her Haters

Despite the mystery surrounding her absence, Reese has not been silent. On November 22, Reese posted a video to her TikTok account, showing her walking around her apartment in a fluffy pink bathrobe. The audio of the video is a speech by Deion Sanders talking about how little he thinks about his haters. Furthermore, Reese posted a video of the same speech to her Instagram last weekend. It appears to be a direct response to the new wave of speculation and hate that she has received since the drama began to unfurl at LSU.

As mentioned, there appears to be no timetable for Reese’s return, not that she appears to be sweating her absence too much regardless. On Thanksgiving, Reese posted a video recreating the viral “Cheese Rice and Byron” Sidetalk clip. Through four games played, Reese is still averaging a double-double with 17 points and 10.3 rebounds. That puts her second on the team in both categories. Reese’s situation is a developing story and we’ll have any updates as and when they emerge.
