Future Removed All Features From “Mixtape Pluto” And Fans Are Confused

by

Future delivered. Just not in the exact manner we expected. The rapper dropped off his new album, Mixtape Pluto, and its filled with stellar production and earworm hooks. One thing the album doesn’t have, though, is features. Future teased high profile collaborations with Travis Scott and Gunna on the new album. Travis Scott was touted to be on “SOUTH OF FRANCE,” and even appeared in the video for the teaser snippet. Likewise, Gunna had a verse on the leaked version of “TOLD MY.” Neither of them made the final cut, though, and fans are puzzled.

There has been some tension between Future and Gunna in the past. The former tweeted support for Gunna’s single “Prada Dem” in March, but deleted it minutes later. Fans everywhere speculated that the tension between the two men stemmed from Gunna’s actions in the ongoing YSL case. Given that “TOLD MY” dates back before the YSL drama, it’s very possible Future made the decision in light of the current circumstances. The omission of Travis Scott is a little more puzzling. Scott was seen recording a verse in the promo video for “SOUTH OF FRANCE.” There doesn’t appear to be any bad blood between him and Future, though.

Future Removed Gunna And Travis Scott From The Album

Given how anticipated both of these collabs were, fans were understandably disappointed. Some voiced concern over what these omissions mean with regards to Future’s relationships. Others simply lamented the fact that they didn’t get new Scott and Gunna verses. “Did we all get bamboozled by thinking Travis would be on South of France or was that just me,” asked one user. Another fan posited that Future could be saving the features for a deluxe version of Mixtape Pluto. If so, though, it would be the rare instance of a deluxe adding features to pre-existing songs instead of new ones.

Keep scrolling to read more social media reactions to the pump fake drop. Do you think Future will drop the features on a deluxe version? Why do you think they were removed in the first place? Is the album still good without features? Let us know in the comments, and check back later for more music/pop culture news updates.

Nicki Minaj Puts Fired Assistant On Blast Over Food Order

by

Nicki Minaj is certainly no stranger to calling people out online, and it appears as though her tour staff is no exception. Recently, the “FTCU” rapper took to Twitter/X to drag an assistant on her “Pink Friday 2” tour, who she claims was previously fired. She shared a photo of a takeout order, complete with a message from restaurant employees written on the bag. “We [love] u barb,” it read.

“Thank God I don’t eat the food in this place. Imagine seeing this written on a brown paper bag. Why would a person placing an order say who it’s for? Odd? Or?” Nicki said of the note. “Ion care how long it take to get a opp bak. I will never ever eat again from outback.”

Nicki Minaj Calls Out Tour Staffer

One Barb in her replies encouraged her to re-evaluate her team, noting that her name should not have been mentioned by whoever placed the order. “Oh she was fired last leg but was mysteriously hired again! Hmmmm could you guess who she works for?” Nicki then responded. “I didn’t know she was “still” hired until last night. Look @ GOD.”

This is far from the only feud Nicki’s been wrapped up in lately, however. After it was announced that Kendrick Lamar would headline the Super Bowl Halftime Show in February, she hopped online to put Jay-Z and Roc Nation on blast. According to her, the opportunity should have gone to Lil Wayne instead, as the event is scheduled to take place in his hometown of New Orleans. What do you think of Nicki Minaj calling out a previously fired assistant for using her name on a food order? Do you think she has a good reason to be upset or not? What would you have done in her position? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Nicki Minaj Seemingly Addresses JAY-Z Feud By Tweeting Old Lyrics

by

Nicki Minaj courts controversy. It’s what she does. She has a list of beefs a mile long, and seemingly adds to it with each passing year. Minaj turned up the heat, however, even by her standards, when it came to JAY-Z. She destroyed the Roc Nation boss for not choosing Lil Wayne as the Halftime Show performer at the next Super Bowl. The rapper’s anger quickly turned back on her, though, as fans and industry commentators criticized her for making the Halftime controversy about her.

Nicki Minaj took a step back following the backlash, and laid low on social media. She resurfaced on September 18, and did so by tweeting lyrics from an old song of hers. The song in question in titled “All Things Go.” It’s a softer, more melodic selection from her 2014 album The Pinkprint, but the lyrics are very much applicable to the way Minaj is being perceived right now. “Lemme make this clear,” she raps. “I’m not difficult I’m just bout my business. I’m not into fake industry parties and fake agendas.” Minaj is potentially drawing a line in the sand between her authenticity and the “fake industry” that someone like JAY-Z represents, at least in her eyes.

Nicki Minaj Criticizes The “Fake Agendas” Of Other Rappers

Nicki Minaj’s closing line also seems carefully repurposed. “Rock with ppl for how they make me feel,” she adds. “Not what they give me.” Once again, a line is seemingly drawn between those she is on the side of and those she isn’t. She’s repeatedly stood up for Young Money artists like Drake and Lil Wayne, aka the people she rocks with. The second part of the line could be interpreted as a response to the viral tweet Memphis Bleek sent out in the midst of the Halftime Show controversy. Bleek reposted a video of Hov claiming that rappers get mad at him for “things he didn’t do” for them.

By asserting that Nicki Minaj isn’t concerned with what other people “give” her, she’s basically rebuking Memphis Bleek’s critiques. This is a more cryptic approach than fans are used to seeing from the rapper. She usually has no problem getting on Instagram Live or Twitter and roasting her target for hours on end. Minaj has bigger fish to fry at the moment, though. The rapper and her husband were recently accused of dodging payments on a $500K settlement involving a security guard. The guard claimed the rapper threw a shoe at his head after a 2019 concert.

Meek Mill Makes Unexpected Announcement After Diddy’s Arrest

by

Earlier this week, Diddy was arrested amid several lawsuits and shocking allegations surrounding him. He was charged with “racketeering conspiracy, sex trafficking by force, fraud or coercion, and transportation to engage in prostitution,” according to TMZ. His first request for release on bail was denied, and today, he’s asking the judge to reconsider. If convicted, he could face a maximum sentence of life in prison.

Diddy’s not the only one with a lot on his plate at the moment, however, as Meek Mill also recently took to Twitter/X with a fun revelation. “In other news…. I bought a farm the other day,” he wrote simply. The rapper didn’t share much more than that about his latest endeavor, though he did follow up with a message about how God is responsible for his success.

Meek Mill Reveals That He Bought A New Farm

Of course, Meek Mill’s farm announcement comes after fans speculated that he was named in Rodney “Lil Rod” Jones’ lawsuit against Diddy. In it, Lil Rod alleged that the mogul had a sexual relationship with “a Philadelphia rapper who dated Nicki Minaj.” He’s since been the victim of relentless online trolling, which has only increased since details of Diddy’s indictment went public. Before the security footage of Diddy allegedly assaulting Cassie surfaced earlier this year, Meek made it clear that he wasn’t believing every damning allegation made against the Bad Boy Records founder.

After the footage was released, however, he unfollowed Diddy on social media. This appeared to indicate that he had seen what he needed to see to develop an opinion on his case. What do you think of Meek Mill revealing that he bought a farm following Diddy’s arrest? Do you want to hear what he has to say about it? Share your thoughts in the comments section down below and keep an eye on HNHH for more updates.

Aubrey O’Day Celebrates “Win For Women” After Diddy’s Arrest

by

Aubrey O’Day was ahead of the curve. The singer worked under Diddy for several years as part of the group Danity Kane. Since her time with the group ended, however, O’Day has been one of Diddy’s most vocal critics. She made it very clear that the Bad Boy mogul was far more sinister than his public persona suggested. She has seemingly been proven right, at least in the court of public opinion. Diddy has gone from hip hop icon to disgraced public figure in a matter of months. Diddy was arrested on September 16, and Aubrey O’Day could not have been happier.

The singer took to Twitter to celebrate Diddy’s arrest. “The purpose of justice is to provide an ending and allow us the space to create a new chapter,” she wrote. She also broadened the significance of the Diddy arrest to include all of the mogul’s alleged victims. “Women never get this,” the singer noted. “I feel validated. Today is a win for women all over the world, not just me.” Aubrey O’Day concluded her Twitter statement with an even more optimistic note. “Things are finally changing.”

Aubrey O’Day Felt “Vindicated” For Diddy’s Alleged Victims

Aubrey O’Day has prided herself on speaking out against Diddy over the last decade. She even claimed that the mogul tried to buy her silence by giving her a chance to buy the publishing rights to her music. O’Day recounted the offer during the TMZ documentary The Downfall of Diddy. She claimed that it was less about publishing rights than keeping her from leveling accusations at Diddy and his associates in the future. Aubrey O’Day alleged that the contract she was offered included a “full release against all claims against Diddy and many other players.” Needless to say, she did not sign it.

In fact, Aubrey O’Day predicted that the publishing offer was the quiet before a legal storm. “It asked me to not have access to my experience and my story anymore,” she explained. “Then, I realized something really bad is coming.” The “really bad” is seemingly underway. Diddy has been denied bail, meaning he will be held behind bars until his trial gets underway. If convicted, according to BBC, the mogul will be facing fifteen years to life in prison.

Cardi B Passionately Defends Tyla Amid Viral Backlash To Her VMAs Controversy

by

Cardi B has come to Tyla’s defense as she’s been facing backlash on social media for her appearance at the 2024 MTV Video Music Awards, last week. While accepting the award for Best Afrobeats Video, she passed the trophy off to Lil Nas X and joked about struggling to carry it while speaking. Fans on social media have been labeling the move “rude” in response.

“Tyla wishes she never won that f*cking VMA award,” Cardi said while discussing the incident on X (formerly Twitter) Spaces. “If she would’ve known that that f*cking VMA award would’ve brought so much hate, so much criticism. I bet for a fact she’ll be crying tonight. The internet is insufferable. The way that you guys will take a picture, take a moment, and make it something that it’s not, and then just crush somebody.” From there, she described the internet’s reaction as “bullying.”

As caught by VIBE, she added: “You gotta worry about motherf**kin’ doing a speech, looking good while you’re carrying a motherf**king’ 10-pound f**kin’ [award] in your motherf**kin’ hand. So I just don’t think you understand how f**king heavy those f**kin’ awards are. Also, I met Tyla in person. I’m 5’3″, so I’m already short, and she’s shorter than me. No lie, she’s shaped really beautifully, but she’s very very skinny. Skinny like, Mariah-type skinny. She has to weigh like 109 pounds. So imagine you’re 109 pounds and you gotta carry a 10 f**king award with heels. She literally asked Lil Nas X. Y’all are trying to make this into an, ‘Oh, how rude is she? She asked another female artist to hold her award like she’s the help.’ I love Halle but she didn’t even ask Halle to hold the award! She asked Lil Nas X, a man, to hold it.”

Cardi B Comes To Tyla’s Defense

Tyla previously addressed the controversy in a post on X. “Y’all make everything weird… I was not asking my girl Halle… We just girls, STFU I WON A VMAAAA,” she wrote. She took home the award due to the success of her song, “Water.” Check out Cardi B’s full comments on Tyla on Instagram below.

Flavor Flav expressed his love for Taylor Swift on X (formerly Twitter) on Sunday after former President Donald Trump emphatically posted, “I HATE TAYLOR SWIFT!” on his Truth Social website. It’s unclear exactly what prompted the post, but the pop singer endorsed Kamala Harris in the upcoming Presidential Election, last week.

“I LOVE TAYLOR SWIFT,!!” Flav wrote in his response to the situation. When one user in his replies claimed: “Pandering to the swifties?

Nicki Minaj Makes Fan’s Day After Disappointing Meet-And-Greet Experience

by

It’s been a busy few months for Nicki Minaj, but regardless, she recently found the time to make a fan’s day. Currently, the “FTCU” rapper is making her way across the U.S. on the second leg of her “Pink Friday 2” tour. Over the weekend, she performed in Cleveland, OH, and later surprised the Barbz with a visit to a local shoe store.

The visit was to celebrate her sneaker line with LOCI launching in DTLR, and plenty of fans were in attendance. Unfortunately, while most of them had a great time, not all of them had their expectations met. One fan, for example, took to Twitter/X shortly after to share an emotional clip of herself. According to her, she waited all day for an opportunity to meet Nicki but left disappointed.

Nicki Minaj Offers To Fly A Fan Out For Another “Pink Friday 2” Tour Date

“Stood standing all day from 1pm to finally getting closer to the entrance just to announce meets are over. @NICKIMINAJ My heart is broken mother [broken heart emoji, crying emoji],” user @97sbabyy wrote. “Thank you to the Barbz that had my back [single tear emoji] #GagCityCleveland #NickixLøcixDTLR.” Eventually, Nicki heard about the fan’s experience and decided to make it up to her with a generous offer.

“I’ll fly you plus 3 to another city, babe. Pick one on the tour & message Pedro on Twitter,” she told the Barb. Apparently, Nicki was under the impression that there would be roughly 300 fans at the sneaker event. Based on footage from yesterday, there were far more than that, and she was shocked by the size of the crowd. What do you think of Nicki Minaj offering to fly a fan out for another show after they missed out on a meet-and-greet experience?

Azealia Banks Accuses Kanye West Of Beating His Wife In Twitter Rant

by

Azealia Banks will say just about anything. She says it with conviction, and has torched a few dozen celebrities in the past as a result. She’s also been on the wrong side of Twitter beef, and been called out for problematic behavior. It subsequently makes it difficult to determine when she’s telling the truth or not. Azealia Banks had an absolute explosive Twitter rant on September 11. She went after a number of targets, but the most shocking accusations were leveled at Kanye West. Banks stated, as though she knows for a fact, that West physically abuses his wife, Bianca Censori.

The whole rant took place in the early hours of the morning. Azealia Banks posted a screenshot of a termination notice issued to Milo Yiannopoulos. Yiannopoulos previously worked for West, but has been increasingly vocal about his opposition towards the rapper’s various antics. Azealia Banks laid into the controversial Yiannopoulos, calling him names and making bold assertions about his personal life. It’s when the focus shifted to Kanye West, though, that the rest of Twitter locked in.

Azealia Banks Claims Ye Threw A Chair At His Wife

Azealia Banks claimed that the former Ye employee had implicit knowledge of the domestic abuse going on behind closed doors. “Tell the world about how Kanye is Beating up Bianca Censori,” she wrote. “And how he threw a chair at northwest the other day big mouth.” Banks didn’t provide context, as she was too busy throwing out other accusations, but this bold claim definitely stood out. Kanye West has never been formally accused of domestic abuse, but he has been attacked for perceived “emotional abuse” towards Censori in the past. Yahoo! News ran an entire article on the public backlash to Censori’s appearances in public, and how the rapper treats her like a “piece of meat.”

As was previously stated, though, Azealia Banks is not a reliable source. She also has criticized Kanye West for years. She dubbed the rapper a “fat smelly loser” when he was beefing with Nicki Minaj in 2023. Banks also roasted West’s album Donda on Instagram Live in 2021. “Two f*cking years,” she noted. “To drop this redundant sh*t? Gosh. Is this a Kanye West record or what?” It’s unlikely there will be a follow up on Banks or West’s part regarding the allegations, but they are admittedly alarming.
