Nelly Jokes About His Performance With St. Lunatics Despite The Fact That The Group Is Currently Suing Him
A few days ago, it was revealed that Nelly would be joining the performance lineup of the American Music Awards 50th Anniversary Special, and that he would be performing alongside Chingy, J-Kwon, and members of the St. Lunatics. Of course, those keeping up with recent Nelly news likely saw something strange there: Nelly and St. Lunatics would be performing together despite the fact that last month, it was revealed the group is suing Nelly.
Ahead of the performance, Nelly had a sense of humor about the situation, writing in an Instagram post, “STL INVADES @amas …!!! An anyone who has a problem with that ‘Sue’ me…!!! [shrugging emoji] [laughing emoji].”
Well, the show was last night, and indeed, the performance went on as planned, featuring a medley of hits that included “Air Force Ones,” “Ride Wit Me,” “Welcome To Atlanta,” “What Da Hook Gon Be,” “Right Thurr,” “Tipsy,” and “Hot In Herre.”
As for the lawsuit, St. Lunatics is suing Nelly over songwriting credits and royalties from his debut album, Country Grammar. The group (Ali, City Spud, Kyjuan, and Murphy Lee) claims they weren’t given proper credit on the album, meaning they haven’t been properly paid for the songs they say they helped co-write, including the album’s big hit, “Country Grammar.”
Nicki Minaj Claims She Never Hired Kelsey Harris Amid Megan Thee Stallion Beef
Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion had a pretty nasty falling out earlier this year after a long history of subliminals and tension. Moreover, things became complicated – as rap beefs tend to evolve – thanks to the associations of each femcee and how they combated each other. For example, fans expressed shock and curiosity when Kelsey Harris, Meg’s former best friend, promoted Nicki’s shoe line on the Internet. Many took this as a direct dig at Thee Stallion, but the Trinidadian spitter recently took to Twitter to clear the air and elaborate on how she isn’t as petty as some fans assumed.
“The fact that @TheShadeRoom posted this LIE 5 days ago & im just now finding out,” Nicki Minaj tweeted on Sunday night (October 6). “chiiiiii LOL!!!!!!! I love being booked & busy. ‘Models for my collection’? She posted a photo in my sneakers. Me, nor my company knew anything about it until she posted it. So she did what many ppl did when they received my sneakers, they posted a photo in them. Kelsey def went all the way out with this professional looking backdrop tho…but she is in no way professionally connected to my sneaker brand.

“No matter what yall pay the Shaderoom to post, plz remember that I did a sold out record breaking tour. And was then ASKED to do a 2nd leg,” Nicki Minaj continued. “Too busy & too successful for the clownery. These calculated, planned stories & narratives everytime yall gotta promote is only make me feel even more like I’m that B!CH!!!!! no confidence in your talents & abilities as labels to sell albums or ANYTHING. So you waste money & energy on this. #GagCityMIAMI TONIGHT!!!! Btw, did Kelsey not tell them she wasn’t modeling for the line barbz? Did she just let them think that? I gotta get caught up yall. lol chiiiiiii WOO WEE!!!!!!!! BOOF ON. MAKEUP CHAIR.”
Meanwhile, another Nicki Minaj-related debunk emerged recently. Cardi B clapped back at folks who claimed she was stealing her memes. That seems like quite the ridiculous thing to argue over, but then again, there’s a lot of history making these small rifts loom large.

Safaree Thoroughly Enjoys Himself At Nicki Minaj’s Concert
Safaree and Nicki Minaj spent a lot of time together. In fact, it was a 12-year relationship that saw a lots of ups and downs, especially toward the end. There were some moments of reconciliation and there were others that displayed utter nastiness. Sometimes it got straight up concerning, as it was reported by TMZ 2014 that Safaree was experiencing su*cidal thoughts following the breakup. The drama and turmoil didn’t stop there though for the rapper and TV star as his partnership with Erica Mena has seen its own fair share of issues. They aren’t together anymore, and they have constantly gone back and forth since splitting 2021.
Mena has been extremely critical, putting him on blast for not showing enough love and support for their kids. But despite all of these shortcomings and dilemmas, Safaree is trying his best to make up for it. In fact, he recently said that he’s living with a new purpose. “I want to start giving back more, and uh, I don’t why lately. [Maybe] this trip is just making me see things different [but] I have to do it. So if you’re somebody who know me, link me up if you want to help in any way.” However, –at least in this case– this has nothing to do with Mena.

Instead, Safaree is “giving back” to Nicki Minaj by popping out at her Miami stop for the Gag City Reloaded leg of her ongoing Pink Friday 2 tour. However, he didn’t just stand in the crowd, he was having an absolute ball. As you can see in the video from The Neighborhood Talk above, he’s dancing and just enjoying himself thoroughly. On top of this, Safaree tweeted out in response to the clip making the rounds online. “I’m proud no cap… a lot of yalll will never understand but there is no malice in me… I’m proud.” This has led to some mixed reactions from the internet, with the Barbz especially showing no remorse for their queen’s ex. However, some were just simply happy to see him happy.
What are your thoughts on Safaree enjoying himself and showing support to Nicki Minaj? Do you think Erica Mena will have something to say about this? Is this a good or bad look for Minaj’s ex? We would like to hear what you have to say, so leave your thoughts in the comments. Additionally, always keep it locked in with HNHH for all of the latest news surrounding Safaree and Nicki Minaj.

Rumors about an alleged relationship between JAY-Z and Foxy Brown have swirled for years at this point. Nas famously rapped on his iconic diss track, “Ether,”: “Foxy got you hot ’cause you kept your face in her puss / What you think, you getting girls now ’cause of your looks?” She previously denied the same allegations while speaking with TMZ in 2013. “Jay has only been wonderful to me and my family, a great friend throughout all the years I’ve known him and we had nothing but great success as a team. The disrespect will not be tolerated,” she told the outlet at the time.
Foxy Brown Speaks Out
The allegations have resurfaced in the wake of Diddy’s arrest in New York on charges of alleged sex trafficking and racketeering, last month. Dame Dash recently made headlines for asking why his Roc-A-Fella partner has yet to speak out against Diddy publically. The Bad Boy mogul has already pleaded not guilty to the alleged crimes. Be on the lookout for further updates on Foxy Brown and JAY-Z on HotNewHipHop.

Kendrick Lamar Will Reportedly Embark On Stadium Tour After Super Bowl
Ever since the Drake battle ended, Kendrick Lamar fans have been wondering if he will stay quiet for a while longer or if he will follow right back up with more material. When he announced his Super Bowl halftime show earlier this year, it was clear that he plans to make a big splash next year, hopefully with a new album to move on from the beef. Moreover, Bloomberg recently reported that K.Dot is apparently planning a 2025 stadium tour after the Super Bowl, which is why he reportedly turned down a headlining slot at next year’s Coachella festival. Of course, this is all just speculative, so take it with a grain of salt.
However, this seems pretty plausible if Kendrick Lamar does plan to release a new album this year or the next. His last trek for Mr. Morale & The Big Steppers was one of the most successful hip-hop tours of all time, so a level-up doesn’t seem out of the question. Right now, the question is timing. But you know how fans are: they will continue their theorizing and speculation until they actually have an announcement or new release in their hands.

Kendrick Lamar Will Supposedly Hit The Stadiums Next Year
All that said, before Kendrick Lamar embarks on this supposed stadium tour, he will see whether or not he will be up for any Grammys. He submitted three of his Drake diss tracks for consideration at the 2025 awards ceremony: “Like That” with Future and Metro Boomin, “Euphoria,” and “Not Like Us.” Both “Like That” and “Not Like Us” were submitted for Song/Record of the Year and Best Rap Song/Performance, with the latter also being submitted for Best Music Video. For “Euphoria,” on the other hand, we don’t have the info on what categories they submitted it for, but we can assume that it’s for the same ones as the others. Just to be clear, these aren’t official nominations; they’re only tryouts for a nomination, if that makes sense.
Meanwhile, as so many rumors continue to fly around Kendrick Lamar and Drake, many OVO Stans want Kendrick to thank Drizzy for “reviving his career” or whatever else you’ve seen on social media. One of the battle’s biggest consequences is that they will never be able to do anything without the other side holding their grudges…
