Nicki Minaj has hyped her upcoming headline set at Wireless Fest in London. “Instead of doing another arena show in London after we sold out in the first week, I opted to do Wireless Festival. This year’s show will be a billion times more special, creative, beautiful, cohesive, ugh! I’m so excited. I’d like to tell you guys thank you in advance. Last year was so meaningful but won’t compare. Just wait & see,” Minaj wrote on Instagram. Minaj has been a regular feature at Wireless for over a deacde.

Wireless Fest takes place in London’s historic Finsbury Park this July. Other headliners include Future, 21 Savage, and Doja Cat. Minaj is currently set to play the O2 Arena in London on May 28. Are you attending the Pink Friday 2 Tour? Are you excited? Let us know in the comments.

Anne Hathaway Seen Getting Low To Nicki Minaj’s “Anaconda” And The Barbz Are Loving It

Meanwhile, A video of Anne Hathaway dancing to “Anaconda” has gone viral amongst Minaj’s fans. The video, taken from an Instagram story, shows Hathaway getting low to the iconic part of Minaj’s catalog before bashfully waving off praise from the gathered crowd. However, the Barbz in particular have gone absolutely wild for the video. Some praised Hathaway for her taste, others for her dance moves. Meanwhile, a number of other fans have pointed to it as evidence of Minaj’s legacy.

Of course, it’s been a rough couple weeks for Minaj. After being shaded on Megan Thee Stallion‘s “HISS”, Minaj hit back with a diss track of her own, “Big Foot“. However, the general consensus was that she had lost the beef. Not only were people now questioning her many dubious links to sex offenders, but “Big Foot” flopped in comparison to “HISS”. Furthermore, “Big Foot” even debuted below Ben Shapiro’s terrible rap debut on the Billboard Hot 100.

Travis Scott Cutting Sexyy Red’s Music At Wireless Fest Afterparty Goes Viral

by

A video of Travis Scott cutting Sexyy Red’s music mid-performance is going viral on social media. In the clip, Red can be seen rapping alongside Scott when he suddenly cuts her music. As she looks over in confusion, Scott can be heard saying “nahhh” as the crowd boos and jeers. The clip appears to come from an afterparty the pair threw at Tape, an exclusive nightclub in London, back in July. The pair rolled up after Scott brought out Red as part of his set at Wireless Fest earlier in the day. Check out the video below.

Tape posted a bevvy of videos from the afterparty on their social media. Many of them featured Scott and Red performing from behind the DJ’s desk. In one, Red performs “SkeeYee” for the crowd. However, they weren’t the only ones there. Latto also showed out, performing “Big Energy” for the crowd before declaring that it was “shots o’clock.” Other performers at the afterparty included Bryon Messina and Bryson Tiller.

Travis Scott Brings Out Rob49 To Perform “TOPIA Twins”

Meanwhile, one person who isn’t getting their music cut by Scott is Rob49. The rapper was brought out by Scott during a Circus Maximus tour stop in Phoenix. Together, the pair performed “TOPIA Twins”, their collab on Scott’s recently-released album, UTOPIA. For many, the track is one of the most underrated and lowkey hardest-hitting features on the album. The song, which also features 21 Savage, peaked at #17 on the Billboard Hot 100.

Elsewhere, early returns for the tour suggest that fans are all-in on Scott. Despite having to abruptly the third show of the run, sales projections suggest the tour could make over $80 million. That’s widely impressive for a tour that’s doing less than 50 shows in total. Furthermore, merch sales are allegedly exceeding $1 million per night. Additionally, Scott became the first rapper to sell out SoFi Stadium in Los Angeles. While the numbers pale slightly in comparison to the likes of Drake, Taylor Swift, and Beyoncé, it is pertinent to remember that those tours were much bigger in scope than what Scott is doing.
