Earlier this week, Nicki Minaj stopped by Hot 97 to squash the almost year-old issue she had with morning show host Peter Rosenberg. After the pair ironed out the beef, the sit-down became an interview, with Nicki discussing new music, the film she’s working on…and who her favorite female MC’s are. Despite their long-standing feud, Nicki named Lil Kim as one of her favorites (along with Foxy, Remy Ma, Lauryn Hill and Missy), but apparently Lil Kim and her loyal fans aren’t believing her. Kim RT’d a few of her followers that said they think Nicki is full of it and “just using Kim for press,” but my question is…how is she lying? Nicki has ALWAYS stated that Kim was one of her biggest influencers and favorite artists growing up, and you can’t change the past in spite of current issues! Even when I interviewed Nicki way back in 09, she cited the very same ladies as her influences. It would be dope if these ladies could just put the issue behind them now. Seems Nicki is past it, and hopefully Kim is too! I can’t see them making music together any time soon, but being cordial would be a cool start! What do you think?
Hmm…Did Rihanna Throw Another Shot At Amanda Bynes, Or Is This A Co-Sign?
The latest in the wacky world of Amanda Bynes is POSSIBLY settling the beef that she created with Rihanna earlier this week. In one of her many infamous Twitter rants, Amanda had called out the Bajan beauty (completely unprovoked), saying Chris Brown had beat her because she’s ugly and a slew of other horrible comments. Rih quickly shot back with a subtweet, saying, “You see what happens when they cancel Intervention?” Amanda then backtracked, saying her followers had created fake tweets and that she loves Rihanna and they’ll probably be in a video together one day. (Right, LOL…) No reply on Rih’s end from there, so last night, Amanda tried again. The troubled actress took to her Twitter account to share what she says is a mocked-up image of her and Rih (though it looks pretty real to me, but whatever), saying she loves Rihanna and that she’s a beauty. She then followed up with a tweet about herself, which Rihanna RT’d. But question is, did Rih RT it to poke fun at Amanda, or to co-sign her/show love? Check it out in the gallery and let us know your thoughts!
(Video) Nicki Minaj Comes Face-To-Face With Peter Rosenberg On Hot 97 For The First Time Since Their Beef
It was the beef heard ’round the world last June, when Nicki Minaj’s appearance at Summer Jam 2012 was over before it even started, after she took offense to a comment about her single “Starships” made by morning show host, Peter Rosenberg. Nicki hasn’t been on good terms since with Hot 97…the station that she grew up listening to…but today, they finally put the water under the bridge. After Hot 97 PD/morning show co-host Ebro got word that Nicki was in town, he sent out the bat signal (aka, tweeted her) and told her to come through the show. Nick decided to take him up on his offer, and this morning, came face-to-face with Rosenberg for the first time since the beef started. Watch below as the pair make amends, Nicki explains why she was so bothered, talks her new movie role, her upcoming album (which she says will be all rap like her mixtape days…the Barb in me is jumping for joy!) and more.
Despite Him Threatening To “Slap The Sh*t Out Her,” Katy Perry Apologizes To & Praises Chief Keef
THIS is that ish I don’t like. Here’s the deal. Earlier this week, Katy Perry was in the car and heard Chief Keef’s song, “Hate Being Sober.” She had no idea who the artist was, but took to Twitter just to say the content of the song disappointed her. (And rightfully so…) The next day, Keef caught wind of the “diss,” and true to his usual form, went off. He mentioned that he’d “slap the sh*t out her,” amongst other things, and also promised to soon drop what’s likely to be a diss track, appropriately titled “Katy Perry.” Just a little while ago, Katy must have either checked her mentions or got word from someone more in-the-know on her team, and took to her account to both issue an apology and give the Chicago rapper props. Ugh! He doesn’t deserve any of that! Check out what she said in the gallery. Let’s see if he replies this time!
(Video) Problem Talks Girls, Music, Upcoming Projects & More
Problem is making quite a name for himself in the rap game, having amassed collaborations with big names like Wiz Khalifa, Chris Brown and more in recent months. Having nabbed not one but two spots on the #FunkFlexMixtape, Who You Mad At? Me Or Yourself?, (“Let The Blunt Go” with Chris Brown and “All I See,”) I wanted to sit down for a chat with the Germany-born, California raised MC while he was in town for his very first show in the Big Apple. Get to know Problem a little better below.
(Photos) The Best Drake Memes Of That Crazy Outfit! [And The Origin Of The Photo]
Last night, Instagram was going CRAZY with Photoshopped photos of Drake…and it was hilarious! The picture of Drake is from the set of “No New Friends,” a recent video shoot with DJ Khaled and Rick Ross. The reason the photo is so funny is because Drizzy is dressed like he’s straight out of the 90’s…Dada and Timberland…and his pose makes it all the more better. Since the original photo surfaced last week some time, people have been super-imposing Drake into various funny photos, but last night, people took it to the next level. Blame it on Sunday boredom! Check out some of my favorite ones in the gallery!
