While we loved Nicki’s outfit, it was her long, neon yellow hair that stole the show. Her hair was down and pin-straight with short front bangs covering her forehead. She topped her look off with a metallic pink smokey eye, thick cat eyeliner, and a hot pink metallic lip.

In another photo from the shoot, Nicki switched up her hairstyle yet again, this time, she rocked a super short black bob with tiny front bangs. Her hair was down sleek and straight with cool hot pink highlights on both sides.

Britney Spears took to Instagram to share a new video of herself swaying her hips and joyously busting moves while standing outside in front of a gorgeous fountain in Maui.

Britney Spears, 40, is continuing to enjoy her freedom by doing one of the things she does best: dance! The singer shared a new eye-catching video of herself having fun in Maui on Feb. 5 as she showed off her figure in a yellow crop top and black shorts. Her blonde and purple tresses were pulled back with some strands hanging down and she looked as happy as could be.

Just one hour after she shared her outside dancing video, the “…Baby One More Time” crooner shared another video of herself flaunting moves while at a gym. She was in the same outfit and walked on a treadmill, lifted weights, and did other workout moves with equipment as Nicki Minaj blurted out the lyrics to “Bang Bang,” the song she played over the clip.

“So I was a little too excited for my trip to Maui 🏝 !!!! I might have over done it a bit 😂🤷🏼‍♀️ …. I mean I was extremely excited to be there !!!! Here’s me at the gym 💪🏼 doing an intense workout … I’m sweating A LOT 💦 !!!!” Britney captioned her second video. “Honestly after being that sick before I have the need to survive in a different way !!!! Being present in the utmost way ✨!!!!! Pushing it just a TOUCH does wonders in my opinion…God speed … God speed 🏃🏼‍♀️💨 !!!!!”

Is this the return of the Queen? Nicki Minaj teams up Lil Baby to ask ‘Do We Have A Problem’ in a sizzling, action-packed music video.

After an uncharacteristic silence from Nicki Minaj, the prolific rapper returned to the music scene on “Pink Friday” (Feb. 4), kicking off what many Barbz hope will be the start of her comeback. Nicki, 39, teamed with Lil Baby for “Do We Have A Problem?”, a new single and 9-minute music video that featured a dramatic opener where Nicki was set up as an undercover agent trying to dig up dirt on a mob outfit.

During an auction where she’s been prompted to catch Lil Baby (aka “The Black Death) and the men he’s working with, Nicki flips on the police (of course in a stylishly sexy outfit and chic blonde bob) and runs off with the rapper to Cuba. What happens next? You’ll have to watch the epic video premiere to see for yourself!

Nicki Minaj had an unusually quiet 2021 – music-wise, at least. The “Chun-Li” rapper appeared on a remix of Bia’s “Whole Lotta Money” and “Boyz,” the debut solo single from Little Mix’s Jesy Nelson. In terms of “new” Nicki music, the closest that the Barbz got to was the re-issue of her 2009 mixtake, Beam Me Up Scotty, which featured three new songs, including “Seeing Green,” a collab with Drake and Lil Wayne.

— Nicki Minaj (@NICKIMINAJ) January 31, 2022

That output is even more stark when compared to what she did in 2020. That year, Nicki managed to go No. 1 with 6ix9ine (“Trollz”), team with YoungBoy Never Broke Again for Mike Will Made It’s second song (“What That Speed Bout!?”), and lend her verses to songs by Megan Trainor (“Nice To Meet Ya”), Doja Cat (“Say So (Remix)”), ASAP Ferg (“Move Ya Hips”), Ty Dolla Sign (“Expensive”), and Sada Baby (“Whole Lotta Choppas (Remix)”). She also did most of that while pregnant with her and Kenneth Petty’s first child, Papa Bear. It remains to be seen if this new collab with Lil Baby signals that the highly-anticipated follow-up to Nick’s 2018 album, Queen, will arrive this year.

Sorry to all the Barbz out there, but Nicki Minaj confirmed she’s not interested in collaborating with City Girls. She insinuated the duo has talked bad about her publicly before.

For years, Nicki Minaj‘s die-hard fans (called “The Barbz”) have been hoping the legendary rapper collaborates with Yung Miami and JT of the hip hop duo City Girls. But in her Feb. 2 interview with The Morning Hustle hosts Lore’l and HeadKrack, Nicki, 39, all but confirmed the collaboration will never be happening. When she was asked about possibly working with City Girls, the “Super Bass” songstress dramatically flashed her eyes back and forth.

“Well, I don’t know,” Nicki said. “What I will say is that, a few years ago I saw a video of them and I asked someone on their team at the time about them. I was thinking about jumping on a record, one of their records that was out at the time. And then, social media happened.”

Nicki continued, “You know, people will say something about someone, like an artist. Whether they tweet it or say it. Or whether it gets pulled out of them in an interview or something like that. Whenever you post something on the internet, it’s there forever. Whenever you say something in an interview, it’s there forever.” The “Starships” hitmaker then noted that “an artist is a human being forever,” before elaborating on why she’s not working with City Girls. “If I was about to go out to dinner with you tonight, and then I get something that says, ‘Yo, she don’t really f*ck with you like that. She was saying this and she don’t really like you.’ I’m not gonna go out to dinner with you anymore, because now I know that I like you but you don’t really like me,” she explained. “That’s just a human way to feel if you hear somebody was saying things about you. Not just one thing, but repeated things. Repeated tweets for years. Not just one thing.”

Nicki went on to say that while she’s “let go” of the alleged smack-talking that’s come from the fellow rappers, she still has no plans to make music with them. “Why would I work with someone that doesn’t like me?” she said.

This is disappointing news for fans of Nicki and City Girls. JT, 29, has even gone on record before to say she’d like to team up with Nicki. “We’re hoping for it in the future, seriously,” she told GQ magazine in Aug. 2021. “A lot of people try to make fun of it, like, ‘Ahhh, you’re never going to get your feature,’ but you never know what can happen,” she added.

Lyrica Anderson filed for divorce after 5 years from husband A1 Bentley, per a report. The couple have been open about their relationship struggles on ‘L&HH.’

Another divorce has hit the Love & Hip-Hop universe. Lyrica Anderson has filed for divorce from husband A1 Bentley TMZ reported on Friday, Jan. 7. The 33-year-old daughter of Lyrica Garrett wed the rapper, 34, after eloping in 2016. The couple has been married for five years, and welcomed their son Ocean Zion Bentley, now 3, in Nov. 2018. HollywoodLife has reached out to representatives for Lyrica and A1, née Floyd Eugene Bentley III.

Both Lyrica and A1, who is a record producer and rapper hailing from Kansas, have appeared on L&HH: Hollywood since the third season in 2016, where they appeared as supporting cast. Lyrica was bumped up to a main cast member in season 4, while A1 was promoted in time for the 5th season.

Over their time on the reality series, the couple have been open about their marital struggles: back in 2018, the singer was accused of having an affair with Nicki Minajs ex Safaree Samuels — which is when she was pregnant with her son Ocean. She even took a paternity test on the show to confirm that A1 was the father. On the sixth season, however, it was revealed that A1 had an affair with a woman named Summer Bunni — prompting a 2019 split.

During the COVID-19 quarantine, A1 and Lyrica chatted about their relationship challenges on The Conversation. “I did you wrong, made a mistake, cheated, you couldn’t get over it,” A1 said to his wife. “When someone makes a mistake, you’re just done? Because if that’s the case you can be single for forever,” he added. Lyrica responded, “I just have a really hard time being with someone that I don’t think it going to be completely faithful.”

She also said, “We haven’t officially got divorced. I don’t really know what’s gonna end up happening. For now, there’s a lot of co-parenting going on, of course, we have Ocean. He is the first priority and it’s not about us right now. It’s about him, he’s 1, he’s innocent and it’s fair to just be the best mom and dad.” Lyrica gave A1 another shot in season 6 of L&HH: Hollywood.

Back in 2020, Lyrica also penned song “Marriott” about their split (it happened, quite literally, at a Marriott branded hotel). “‘Marriott’ was my release, my diary when I wrote that song,” she told HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY in May 2020. “It’s me just letting it out. Like you know what, ‘We went through this. I’m tired of this s–t, I’m tired of going through this stuff with you and I’m about to dip. This is the hotel I’m going to stay at and as a matter of fact, I’m going to write about it,” she said.

Kardashians mourn manager Angela Kukawski who has died at 55 allegedly at the hands of her boyfriend Jason Barker in a homicide.

Los Angeles-based business manager Angela “Angie” Kukawski has died. The manager, who represented numerous celebrities including the KardashiansNicki Minaj, Offset, the estate of Tupac Shakur, and more, worked at Boulevard Management in Woodland Hills and was 55 when she died, a death ruled a homicide, according to a police report obtained by HollywoodLife. Los Angeles police have arrested Kukawski’s boyfriend, 49-year-old Jason Barker, for the crime and he is currently being held on a $2 million bond. We have reached out to the Kardashians and the LAPD for a statement but have yet to hear a response.

After the announcement of the death, the Kardashian/Jenner family released a statement to TMZ, mourning the loss of their beloved business manager. “Angela was truly the best. She cared about everyone of us and made things happen that were impossible,” the statement read. “She will be greatly missed and we send our sincere condolences to her family and loved ones during this most difficult time.”

Authorities apparently found Kukawski dead in her car parked in Simi Valley, just north of Los Angeles. The Simi Police Department and Los Angeles Police Department then made the arrest of Barker as an alleged suspect who detectives believe killed Kukawski inside their home in the Sherman Oaks section of Los Angeles and then transported the body in her car and left it in Simi Valley. Barker has not yet entered a plea nor has he responded to the charges.

TMZ also reported the D.A. claimed the murder was “with the intent to cause cruel and extreme pain and suffering for the purpose of revenge, extortion, persuasion and for a sadistic purpose.”

A member of her firm, Todd Bozick, also told Variety, “We are saddened and heartbroken by the loss of our colleague, Angie Kukawski. Angie was a kind, wonderful person, and she will be greatly missed by all who knew her. Our deepest condolences go out to all of Angie’s family and friends.”

Nicki Minaj took to Instagram to show off how much her son Papa Bear has grown in a stunning new holiday photo shoot!

Merry Christmas from the Minaj-Petty family! Rapper Nicki Minaj gave a rare glimpse at her growing 1-year-old son, who we affectionately know as Papa Bear, in a collection of photos posted on Instagram on Christmas Day. “Merry Christmas. May you receive everything your heart desires,” Nicki shared alongside a photoshoot of herself, with her husband Kenneth Petty and young son. In the pictures, Nicki rocked a cut-out black gown with a high slit and beaded fringe. The rapper wore a red lip and elegant full curls in her hair. See the gorgeous photos here!

The “Monster” rapper’s son looked dapper in a Dolce & Gabbana white top and black suit, matching his dad. Just yesterday on Christmas Eve, Nicki shared another look at her son, while wishing her mom Carol Maraj a happy birthday. On her feed, the 39-year-old rap star included a glamorous picture of her mother in a sleek black cocktail dress decorated with a gleaming gold necklace and then shared an intimate look at her mom and Papa Bear playing in a living room. Nicki’s son, whose real name is not public knowledge, looked adorable in a little grey sweatsuit with his hood up while he played with his grandma.

In an interview with HollywoodLife back in February, Carol revealed that her daughter Nicki helped her find the courage to leave her abusive marriage. “Even as a teenager my daughter would say, ‘Why is he doing that to you?’” she said at the time. “So they look at you differently when they see you just being passive or just taking stuff or praying or just acting like it’s nothing. But they look at you as a strong person when you get up and do something about it.”

Nicki appears to be living her best life, especially in recent weeks! The Barbz posed nude for the 39th birthday just two weeks ago in photos on the ‘gram and noted that she was one of the top streamed female rappers on Spotify globally in 2021, despite not having released an EP or an album in 3 years. Fingers crossed we get some new Nicki tunes in 2022!

Nicki Minaj makes her grand debut in the first trailer for the four-part ‘Real Housewives of Potomac’ reunion! Watch it here.

The first trailer for the four-part Real Housewives of Potomac reunion is here, and it does not disappoint. Rapper and Housewives fan Nicki Minaj makes her grand debut in the trailer released by Bravo on Friday, Oct. 29, gleefully declaring “I’m here, bitches!” as she enters the room with a bottle of liquor. The stars, which include Gizelle Bryant, Karen Huger, Robyn Dixon, Ashley Darby, Candiace Dillard Bassett, Wendy Osefo, Mia Thornton, and a “friend of” Askale Davis, excitedly squeal at the grand entrance.

The cameo actually doesn’t occur until the end of the trailer, which begins with the women hurling insults at each other before host Andy Cohen gets to the nitty gritty of it. “Jamal owes $800,000 in taxes,” the host says to Gizelle, referencing her ex-husband Jamal Harrison Bryant. Andy later narrows in on another husband, Candiace’s Chris Bassett, and questioned him about hookup allegations previously made by Mia. “Did you try and holler at Mia?” he asks, prompting the others to accuse Mia of lying.

Towards the end of the teaser, Nicki makes her grand debut, going through security and riding in an elevator as dramatic music plays in the background. Don’t expect the “Super Bass” rapper to go soft on the women. The beginning of the teaser features soundbites from Nicki, one of which where she says, “We’re not getting away with that nonsense today, baby.” Nicki’s cameo comes after she expressed her desire to host the reunion on social media in July. Luckily, the network and longtime host Andy were up for it.

A source previously told HollywoodLife that the rapper really went in on Candiace. “She came hard for Candiace and read her,” the source said. “It was an epic moment.” Andy also appeared to confirm this during his interview with Entertainment Tonight on October 19. “She says sh*t that I could never say and it’s fantastic,” he said. “She’s a huge fan of the show and this wasn’t about what she stands for, this was about an exciting moment in the history of the show and the women were thrilled to be there with her.”

Part 1 of the four-part reunion will air on Bravo on Sunday, Nov. 7 at 8 p.m.

Nicki Minaj made it known she wanted to show up to the ‘RHOP’ reunion and her dreams came true as she surprised the ladies and went in on housewife Candiace Dillard!

Nicki Minaj, 38, took to social media in July to tell her followers that she was hosting The Real Housewives of Potomac‘s season 6 reunion — a job usually reserved for the king of Bravo, Andy Cohen, 53. But her wishes came true this week when she showed up to set and she went in on one housewife in particular. “She came hard for Candiace [Dillard] and read her,” a source close to production told HollywoodLife EXCLUSIVELY. “It was an epic moment.”

While Gizelle Bryant, 50, teased on social media that, “It was [fire],” to have Nicki in the room, the ladies had no idea until Nicki walked in that she would be there. “Nicki showed up around 9:15 p.m. and none of the ladies knew she was there,” our source said. “They were so shocked when she walked out.”

Since the Queen Radio host has been vocal about her love of the show and the ladies for quite sometime now, even following some of her favorite ‘wives like Karen Huger, 58, and Robyn Dixon, 42, the cast knew it was always TBD if she’d actually show up with her busy schedule! “They knew it was a possibility,” our source added. “But her appearance was saved for the very end as a total surprise.”

Many fans speculated Bella Hadid didn’t get vaccinated because she skipped the Met Gala but she proved everyone wrong with her latest photo.

To everyone’s disappointment, Bella Hadid, 24, was noticeably missing from the 2021 Met Gala, which led fans to believe she wasn’t vaccinated. In order to attend the gala, guests had to show proof of vaccination, so they just assumed Bella didn’t get her shot, along with Nicki Minaj. However, Bella shot down rumors when she posted a photo to her Instagram stories of her getting a shot.

In the photo posted to Bella’s Instagram stories, she took a screenshot of her camera roll, showing that the photo was taken on August 6. Bella wore a pair of leggings, a tank top, a gray sweatshirt, and a face mask as she sat in the chair in the doctor’s office while the doctor administered the shot into her arm. The supermodel posted the photo writing, “For anyone concerned,” with a black heart.

Considering Nicki didn’t attend the event because she didn’t get vaccinated, people assumed Bella had the same reason. Nick shocked fans when she posted a tweet writing, “I was prepping for vmas then i shot a video & guess who got COVID? Do u know what it is not to be able to kiss or hold your tiny baby for over a week? A baby who is only used to his mama? ‘get vaccinated’ Drake had just told me he got covid w|THE VACCINE tho so chile.”

Nicki then followed up with another tweet, writing, “They want you to get vaccinated for the Met. if I get vaccinated it won’t for the Met. It’ll be once I feel I’ve done enough research. I’m working on that now. In the meantime my loves, be safe. Wear the mask with 2 strings that grips your head & face. Not that loose one.”

Nicki Minaj said she’d be missing out on the Met Gala after contracting COVID. She admitted she wasn’t vaccinated and had to isolate from her 11-month-old son.

The “Queen of Rap” sadly won’t be attending the 2021 Met Gala. Nicki Minaj, 38, announced via Twitter on Monday (Sept. 13) that she contracted COVID-19 and won’t be attending this year’s star-studded event in New York. Nicki admitted that she was not vaccinated against the virus, and explained to her followers that the infection was also the reason she skipped out on the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday. “I was prepping for vmas then i shot a video & guess who got COVID?” she wrote.

Nicki also revealed to her fans that she had to isolate away from her 11-month-old son, whom she’s nicknamed “Papa Bear.” “Do u know what it is not to be able to kiss or hold your tiny baby for over a week? A baby who is only used to his mama?,” she wrote. “‘get vaccinated’ Drake had just told me he got covid w|THE VACCINE tho so chile,” Nicki added. HollywoodLife reached out to Nicki’s rep for comment.

In a follow-up tweet, the “Super Bass” songstress claimed that she “had the exact same symptoms” of COVID-19 as people who were vaccinated but still caught the virus. She then elaborated on her decision to not get vaccinated, writing, “They want you to get vaccinated for the Met. if I get vaccinated it won’t for the Met. It’ll be once I feel I’ve done enough research. I’m working on that now. In the meantime my loves, be safe. Wear the mask with 2 strings that grips your head & face. Not that loose one.”

Nicki’s fans were disappointed to hear about the news, especially since she’s made some memorable appearances at the Met Gala before. She dressed in a lavish, fairy-tale inspired gown paired with strappy lace-up heels for the 2019 “Camp” theme Met, which was the last time the event was held (It was canceled last year due to the COVID-19 pandemic). In 2018, Nicki stunned in a Oscar de la Renta red gown that perfectly represented the ‘Heavenly Bodies’ theme.

Nicki shares her son, whose real name she has yet to reveal, with her husband Kenneth Petty, and she occasionally documents life as a mom on social media. Most recently, Nicki caught her baby boy saying his very first word (Spoiler alert: It was “Hi”) on camera, and shared it for all her fans to see. So cute!

This is not a drill: Nicki Minaj teased new music with Brandy, Tamar Braxton, and Keke Wyatt ahead of the weekend.

Nicki Minaj teased new music with all-star trifecta — and fans are excited. The rapper, 38, shared a snippet of a new track that featured audio of Brandy, Tamar Braxton, and Keke Wyatt harmonizing from her studio on Twitter on Friday, Sept. 10.

— Nicki Minaj (@NICKIMINAJ) September 11, 2021

Naturally, her fans were elated, with many of them calling the vocals “heavenly” and “angelic.” One Twitter follower even wrote that they wanted the snippet played at their funeral. The tease comes only a few days after the “Super Bass” rapper tweeted out to her followers that she wanted the female artists to assist her.

Barbz: ask Keke, Tamar & Brandy to redo this. That’s what I sound like in my head. Would love to hear ppl who can rlly do it 😟🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏 https://t.co/7BuZMv7Edw

— Nicki Minaj (@NICKIMINAJ) September 8, 2021

On Twitter, she also tried to enlist Kehlani, Jhené Aiko, and Summer Walker for the new mystery collaboration, as seen in her tweet here. She explained in a separate tweet that she wanted to compile an acapella with her colleagues so that she could put something “special together.”

Once I have the a capella vocals I’ll put Smthn special together with it 🙏🎀

— Nicki Minaj (@NICKIMINAJ) September 8, 2021

She later added that she planned to do something similar with female rappers down the line. One Twitter user tweeted in response, “Idk what R&B challenge/collab type situation Nicki is mixing up but I’m here for all of it.”

The rapper revealed last year that a new album was forthcoming. Nicki also revealed last year that she teamed up with HBO Max for a docuseries centered on her life and career. In an Instagram video in November 2020, Nicki said, “It’s going to give you guys a raw, unfiltered look at my personal life and my professional journey, and I can’t wait to share it with you.”

“I couldn’t be more thrilled to have #HBOMAX on board to help me tell my story in this delicate and memorable way,” she captioned the post. “A way that my fans will love forever. This doc is next level. I can promise you that.” Directed by Michael John Warren, the docuseries does not yet have a release date, but it will be comprised of six episodes.

“I love that this series not only provides an all-access glimpse at one of the most iconic musicians of our generation; it also profiles the brave woman behind the artist, Onika,” Michael said in the press release at the time. “I believe all of us can learn a great deal from her remarkable professional and personal life. It’s an honor to be entrusted with this dynamic story.”

Between new music and a docuseries, it’s a good time to be a Nicki Minaj fan.

A family affair! Rihanna and Nicki Minaj appeared to squash their former feud as they reunited for a night with their beaus A$AP Rocky and Kenneth Petty.

Baddies! Rihanna, 33, and Nicki Minaj, 38, snapped some photos together at a recent hang out that included their partners A$AP Rocky and Kenneth Petty! Nicki took to Instagram to share snaps from the recent outing to her Instagram on Sept. 6, also revealing that her adorable baby son (who she nicknamed “Papa Bear”) was present.

In the first photo, Rihanna was beaming as she snuggled up to both A$AP and Nicki’s son, sweetly holding the baby’s hand. “#RokNRiha #QueenRih #CaribbeanGirlsRunit Love her downnnnnnn,” Nicki captioned the post, referencing the two ladies’ Caribbean heritage (Nicki is Trinidadian, and Rihanna hails from the island of Barbados). The Savage X Fenty Lingerie designer was absolutely glowing in the photo, sporting a sultry black dress along with a bold red lip and bright matching nail.

In the next post, the two showed off their glam makeup and hair in a selfie-filmed video by Nicki. Both ladies looked flawless as they posed and moved around for the camera. “Caribbean tings, you know what I’m sayin’?” Rihanna cheekily said during the short clip. Nicki opted to sport her signature bold cat eye and pink lip gloss, adding a dash of sparkle with her glitter eye shadow and plenty of highlighter.

The two ladies have shared a lengthy friendship, dating back to their 2010 collaboration “Fly,” which appeared on Nicki’s Pink Friday album. That same year, they also did the track “Raining Men” for Rih’s Loud LP. Sometime after 2018, however, both Rihanna and Nicki unfollowed each other. They never addressed the rumored feud, but fans on social media believed it could have been related to Nicki’s beef with Remy Ma.

Nicki Minaj showed off her ‘slow whine’ dance in tight latex pants and a corset in a new video.

Nicki Minaj did her best “slow whine” dance while donned in a tight black latex outfit. The rapper, 38, documented the dance in a video shared on the last slide of a new Instagram post on Saturday, Sept. 3. She rocked a black corset, skintight pants, pointed heels, and a massive “Chun-Li” necklace, a reference to her 2018 song of the same name.

“Swipe for a surprise. The vintage dancehall stank face & slow whine ummm chile if glam not hyping u up like this at 4 in the mornin then,” the rapper captioned the post with a series of emojis, adding that she was dancing to a song by artist Pamputtae.

The post comes after the “Moment 4 Life” artist shared a sweet moment with her son, who she welcomed with husband Kenneth Petty last September. In a video shared on Instagram this week (below), the rapper’s baby boy — whose name Nicki has not yet publicly disclosed — appears to say his first word, much to the shock and excitement of his parents.

The family of three are seated on a couch in the video, and Nicki refers to her son as “Papa.” The rapper says to the toddler in the clip, “Papa, say, ‘Me and mama laughed at that.’” Later, she adds, “Papa, what you doing? Say hi” as she holds up his hand to do a wave. Her son then offers a very audible “hi,” and the rapper gasps in excitement.

Nicki Minaj has seemingly taken offense to ‘Bang Bang’ collaborator Jessie J’s comments about how the rapper ‘asked’ to join the hit song.

Nicki Minaj has taken to the internet to clear the air about her song “Bang Bang” with Jessie J and Ariana Grande. The rapper, 38, issued a response to Jessie J’s recent feature with Glamour published on Thursday, Aug. 5, in which the English singer-songwriter, 33, dissected some of her greatest hits. When Jessie mentioned that Nicki asked to get on “Bang Bang,” the rapper seemingly took offense.

Babe @JessieJ I didn’t hear the song & ask 2get on it. The label asked me2get on it & paid me. How would I have heard the song? 😩 chiiille what am I the damn song monitor? Snoopin around for songs chile?😂This was said by another artist recently as well. Yallgotta stop🎈 LoveU😘 pic.twitter.com/LShiO3wEm6

— BEAM ME UP SCOTTY MIXTAPE OUT NOW‼️🎀🦄♥️ (@NICKIMINAJ) August 6, 2021

Jessie’s quote in question read, “Max Martin wrote ‘Bang Bang,’ and Ariana had been played it, I’d been played it, and we both loved it. We just said, ‘Why don’t we both do it?’ So Ariana stayed on the second verse, I recorded the first verse, and then Nicki was played it in the studio and was like, ‘I’ve got to jump on this.’ We didn’t go to her and ask; she wanted to do it.”

Nicki shared a screenshot from the interview and responded: “Babe @JessieJ I didn’t hear the song & ask 2get on it. The label asked me2get on it & paid me. How would I have heard the song?” She added, “What am I the damn song monitor? Snoopin around for songs chile?” Noting that “this was said by another artist recently as well,” Nicki added, “Y’all gotta stop.”

Regardless, it did not sound like her collaborator meant any ill will with the statement, as she gushed about the collaboration during the interview. “I’ll never forget: I was in my bedroom in my flat in London, and I got sent the version with Nicki on it,” Jessie continued. “I just sat at the end of my bed holding my phone, staring at the floor, going, ‘How the fuck did I land this?’ I literally felt like I’d won a competition.”

The singer added that the song “would have never done what it did without” her collaborators, citing “girl power.” She said, “The gratitude I have and, honestly, the experience of girl power. Since Moulin Rouge, there hasn’t really been a big female song that’s come that’s really impacted like that.” Jessie added, “Me and Ari just spoke the other day, and I was like, “We should definitely do something together.” And she was like, “If we do, it has to be better than ‘Bang Bang.’” And I was like, ‘Well…’ She was like, ‘I don’t know’ … because it’s just one of those songs that just caught and went.”

Look out Andy Cohen, because Nicki Minaj has her sights set on hosting ‘The Real Housewives of Potomac’ reunion — and Karen Huger and the rest of the Bravo ladies are here for it.

Nicki Minaj, 38, has thrown her hat in the ring to host the next The Real Housewives of Potomac reunion. The “Super Bass” rapper shared a trailer of the currently-airing season 6 of the Bravo series on Instagram on Thursday (July 29) and joked that she was replacing Andy Cohen to lead the ladies of Potomac hashing out their drama. Nicki remixed the trailer to her hit 2010 song “Moment 4 Life” and wrote in her caption, “I’ll be hosting the reunion. lmk what y’all want me to ask chile.” While Nicki was seemingly joking at the time, Karen Huger, Robyn Dixon and the rest of the sassy RHOP stars immediately made it clear that they would be onboard with Nicki’s hiring.

“All right now,” Karen, 58, said with a fire emoji on Nicki’s post. Nicki commented right back to Karen, joking to the RHOP OG, “yes ma’am. i know a thing or 2 about being the Grand Dame.” Robyn, meanwhile, added a hands up and flower emojis to Nicki, while fellow “Green-Eyed Bandit” Gizelle Bryant commented, “Yesssssss!!!!!” Wendy Osefo and Candiace Dillard Bassett also eagerly expressed approval of Nicki being the reunion host — as did Andy himself, who said, “I want to see this!”

Nicki’s declaration also started up a hilarious interaction between the rapper and the official Instagram account for Watch What Happens Live. After the person behind the talk show’s IG page commented, “We need Drive Back ft. Nicki Minaj!” on her post, Nicki hilariously responded, “Babe what’s dat?” That song, of course, is Candiace’s latest single, and once Nicki was informed, the rapper admitted that she may not be the biggest fan of Candiace. “It’s a nice song. But at the reunion ima have to get into some thangz with sissy. Cuz chiiiile,” she said with a laughing emoji.

After Nicki’s post blew up, the Grammy winner went on to tease her fans that her RHOP hosting gig may actually come to fruition. “Don’t move! Everyone binge watch all the episodes cuz we finna get into some thangz hunty,” she wrote on her Instagram Stories. “My questions will be well thought out, too. Mixed with funny & epic of course. And Barbz, please don’t send me a million comments about the album & doc chile just lemme have my moment. We almost there. Promise. Not lying time. Love you.” Then, Nicki posted a screenshot message between her and her publicist, Joe. In the texts, he told Nicki that Andy “would gladly give up his seat to have you host the Potomac reunion,” which he said tapes in October. Nicki, of course, was very excited and delivered responses in all-caps. “I WANT TO DO IT!!!!” she reiterated, to which Joe said, “Ok, getting details.”

For now, RHOP fans will have to wait to see if Nicki indeed gets to sit in the coveted hosting seat for the next reunion. The hit series is three episodes into season 6, and there’s already been plenty of drama between the ladies. So here’s to hoping that when the reunion comes around in October, Nicki is there ready to get to work.

The new mom — who welcomed her first child, a baby boy, with husband Kenneth Petty in September 2020 — has been on a bit of an album hiatus, releasing her last one, Queen, in August 2018. Most recently, the hit maker’s iconic Beam Me Up Scotty mixtape joined streaming platforms. Although the mixtape made its debut in 2009, fans are still obsessed with the New York rapper’s unforgettable breakout. The 2021 edition of Beam Me Up Scotty gave fans a glimpse into five tracks that have been under the radar since the initial release. It also included “Seeing Green,” a new collaboration with Lil Wayne and Drake

Nicki Minaj and Lil’ Wayne chatted about sex positions on a new IG Live. Watch the clip.

Nicki Minaj put frequent collaborator Lil’ Wayne on the spot during an Instagram Live on July 8. The “Roman Holiday” rapper, 38, asked Wayne about his favorite sex position during their conversation on Thursday night, leading to a few more minutes of dissecting the best positions that would be more toe-friendly. No elaborations here. Watch the conversation in all its prying glory below to understand.

Back to that favorite sex position question, though. When asked about his favorite position, Wayne, real name Dwayne Michael Carter Jr., 38, responded with a double entendre, musing about life and success. “On top,” the rapper said. “In any part of life, period. Not just the bedroom. Just on top.” Just call him Philosopher Wayne.

Nicki’s IG Live comes after the rapper teased a “very very important” announcement just a few days prior, leading fans to theorize about the possibility of a new album. The new mom — who welcomed her first child, a baby boy, with husband Kenneth Petty last September — has been on a bit of an album hiatus, releasing her last one, Queen, in August 2018. In May, though, the rapper re-released her 2009 mixtape Beam Me Up Scotty, which featured a track with Wayne (“Seeing Green”).

The announcement was not about a new album, but instead a new remix with rapper BIA. The artist, real name Bianca Landrau, joined Nicki on her IG Live on Thursday evening to announce the remix of her single “Whole Lotta Money,” featured in BIA’s 2020 EP For Certain. Listen to the track below.

“Whole Lotta Money” might not be the only new track on Nicki’s horizon. Earlier this week, the rapper’s longtime collaborator Drake fueled collaboration speculation after he shared some snapshots from Nicki’s studio on July 6. The two even posed for a selfie together. The duo have already collaborated on a number of songs together in the past, including “Seeing Green,” “No Frauds,” and “Moment 4 Life.”

The Barbz are no doubt hungry for more. Nicki recently collaborated with Polo G for the track “For the Love of New York.” She’s also released “Say So” with Doja Cat and “Hot Girl Summer” with Megan Thee Stallion and Ty Dolla Sign.

The rapper’s mother discusses her book, ‘Leaving My Pain,’ forgiving Nicki’s dad Robert, and singing with the ‘Super Bass’ star before she was famous.

They made peace long before his tragic death in February after he was hit by a car in New York. But Nicki Minaj’s mom Carol Maraj is reflecting on her turbulent marriage to the rapper’s dad Robert and how she emerged to become a champion of victims of domestic violence.

In an exclusive interview with HollywoodLife about her book, Leaving My Pain, the 61-year-old mom-of-three reveals she feared that the relationship would negatively impact her children.

“A son sees his father abusing his mother, he’ll grow up and think that’s normal. And he does that to his girl and he’s controlling,” says Carol, who has two sons, Jelani, 42, and Micaiah, 23, in addition to 38-year-old Nicki.

“And then the daughter, she sees her mother being submissive and taking a lot of these things and she thinks that maybe that’s OK and she falls for the same kind of man. A great percentage of homes fall [into] that position. The children follow their parents. That happens. I always was concerned about that; that they would do the same thing that their father did.”

Carol also claims that Nicki –  who told Rolling Stone in 2010 that her dad abused drugs, alcohol and her mom, and once set fire to their home – questioned why her mother would let Robert treat her that way. “Even as a teenager my daughter would say, ‘Why is he doing that to you?’” she says. “So they look at you differently when they see you just being passive or just taking stuff or praying or just acting like it’s nothing. But they look at you as a strong person when you get up and do something about it.”

Leaving My Pain is part-memoir, part self-help guide offering advice and inspiration to other victims, telling them how to recognize abuse and to take the steps to walk away.

In the book Carol – who was born on the Caribbean island of Trinidad – describes a terrifying Dec. 31, 1989 incident when she says Robert hit her and dragged her from her car. That night she says she suffered a “rain of blows” to her “head and face.” “After a while everything felt numb,” she writes, “I felt blood running down my face, my nose was bleeding and I was in a state of shock from that many hits to my head.”

It took more than a decade for her to leave, but Carol says she finally seized the opportunity to escape when Robert was in rehab. “They sent him away for a while, to get help and different things. He was away from me for a couple of years at first and I stayed by myself with my children. Then I was able to get my own little place and that was it,” she says.

Eventually Carol was able to forgive Robert, whom she never divorced. “For a long time I was angry and, [as] I grew older, I got wiser and I realized that whatever I was holding on to was really getting a hold on me,” she says. “It took 20 years before I could let go.” “I advise everyone to try hard to love yourself so much that you will let go of the anger and hatred for anyone,” she adds.

There were moments of happiness in the Maraj household. Today Carol reminisces about singing old Motown tunes while cooking and a young Nicki running from her bedroom to join in. “I didn’t have to call,” she says. “I just had to start singing.” Meanwhile, the Robert she remembers fondly loved “cooking for the family,” making “oxtail and his famous curry chicken, everyone knew him for.”

By February, their relationship had healed to the point where she was the last person to see him before the fatal Long Island accident. She visited his home and was with him “about an hour before he got hit by the car” on Feb. 12. He died a day later at the age of 64. (Carol has since filed a $150 million lawsuit against Charles Polevich, the 70-year-old driver accused of hitting Robert.)

These days Carol is focused on her advocacy, promoting this book while writing more and pursuing her singing career. Her latest single is called, “What Makes You.” As for Nicki, Carol could see their kitchen duets of yesteryear becoming a more official collaboration.

“Even [though] I sing gospel and she [does] rap, it doesn’t matter. She can rap a gospel too,” the proud mom says. As Carol notes: “It’s totally up to Nicki. I would not rule that out.”

Kenya Moore took to social media to seemingly react to Porsha Williams’ engagement to her former friend Falynn Guobadia’s ex-husband Simon Guobadia by using a clip of Nicki Minaj.

Kenya Moore, 50, seems to be reacting to Porsha Williams‘ engagement with a shady video! The Real Housewives of Atlanta star shared a clip of Nicki Minaj shouting “Did I lie?” over and over again into a microphone, during what looked like a previous interview, shortly after 39-year-old Porsha revealed she is dating Simon Guobadia, who then confirmed they are engaged. Simon happens to be the ex-husband of Kenya’s ex-friend Falynn Guobadia, who made a few cameos on past episodes of her Bravo show. Check out Kenya’s post HERE.

Although Kenya, who’s made headlines in the past for feuding with Porsha, didn’t mention any names directly, a lot of her followers took to the comments section of her post to share their opinions about it being about Porsha’s news. “Read between the lines she meant she’s warned us about Porsha not being a good person. This right here is foul as f–k and anybody with sense can see it,” one follower wrote.

“She said from the beginning that P was a dumb hoe,” wrote another while a third added, “She told you guys about Porsha being a snake and a liar. She also called out the double standards of Porsha calling Kenya a slut for years but playing victim when someone calls her one. Look at Porsha now. Engaged to her friend’s ex husband.”

Others talked about how even though Simon is estranged from Falynn, he is still technically married and their engagement can’t turn into marriage until a divorce is finalized. At the time of this story, Kenya didn’t respond or like any comments but she also didn’t deny the suspicions.

Before Kenya’s post, Porsha shocked many RHOA fans with her engagement announcement. She also revealed that she has only been dating Simon for a month but is confident in their connection. “Our relationship began a month ago—yes we are crazy in love. I know it’s fast but we are living life each day to its fullest,” her caption for her May 10 post, which featured a smiling pic of her and Simon, read. “I choose happiness every morning and every night. Tuning out all negative energy and only focused on positive wishes. He makes me so happy and to me, that is what matters most.”

She also mentioned that she’s not friends with Simon’s ex Falynn and has nothing to do with his filing for divorce in Jan. Falynn made her own divorce announcement on Apr. 22. “After two years of marriage and five years of friendship, Simon and I have made the difficult decision to go our separate ways,” she wrote. “We are deeply thankful for the impact we have made in each other’s lives, as well as the bonds formed with each other’s children. This mutual decision was not made lightly, and despite our current willingness to be transparent, we only ask our friends and supporters to be respectful of our privacy as our family gets through this very difficult period.”

Nicki Minaj took to social media to share two new eye-catching photos of herself posing in nothing but sunglasses and jewelry while surrounded by pink Chanel decor.

Nicki Minaj, 38, had her fans overjoyed on May 10 when she returned to social media to seemingly tease new music with new gorgeous photos. The rapper posed for two glorious snapshots that showed her wearing nothing but pink-framed sunglasses, pink Crocs, and various pieces of jewelry, including necklaces and bracelets, as she covered herself with two pink heart-shaped pillows. She was sitting on a white and pink desk and was surrounded by pink Chanel decor as a neon pink sign with her first name could be seen hanging up in the background in one of the photos. Check out the pics HERE!

Nicki also wore hoop earrings in the pics as some of her her long dark locks were tied up into a high ponytail. She hinted that the post was a part of something that’s going to be released on May 14 by writing “FRIDAY” alongside a fingers crossed emoji in the caption. Once she shared it, her fans couldn’t help but respond with excitement in the comments section.

“The queen is back,” one fan wrote while another gushed over how “good” she looked. A third called her “gorgeous” and a fourth revealed how much they “missed” her. Several others shared clapping and heart emojis.

Nicki’s latest teaser comes after she’s been pretty quiet on social media for a few months. The talented star welcomed her first child, a son, with husband Kenneth Petty, 43, in Sept. Although she shared adorable pics of the bundle of joy back in Jan. and gushed about being a mom, she hasn’t released music since her 2018 album Queen, so her upcoming news is definitely something to look forward to!

When Nicki’s not working hard in her successful rap career, she’s making sure to spend time with those closest to her. She was recently spotted out on a rare date night with Kenneth in Malibu, CA. The couple kept close while walking outside of Nobu restaurant, where they enjoyed their dinner, and tried to keep a low-profile, especially Nicki, who wore sunglasses and kept her head down a lot of the time.

Doja Cat and SZA are the goddesses of their own planet in the video for their new collab, ‘Kiss Me More.’ One very lucky star from ‘Grey’s Anatomy’ gets to be the on-screen love interest who kisses them more!

Doja Cat began the next chapter in her career on Friday (Apr. 9) with help from none other than SZA. The two teamed up for “Kiss Me More,” off of Doja’s forthcoming Planet Her, an album title that is visually translated into the music video for Doja and SZA’s new collab. “Planet Her” is pink and peachy, full of ethereal outfits, and has invited one lucky (and very handsome) visitor from Planet Earth (where he plays a doctor on Grey’s Anatomy).

This astronaut is played by Alex Landi, who you may know as Dr. Nico Kim on Grey’s Anatomy. Trading his scrubs for a spacesuit, Alex’s character crash lands on the dunes of “Planet Her.” He is soon invited to a love fest with SZA and Doja, and these sultry scenes are split between solo (and duo) shots of Doja and SZA transformed from Earth goddesses into the goddesses you’d see in a fantasy comic book.

From the aesthetics to the casting of Alex to the song itself, fans were happy to celebrate yet another incredible music video from Doja. “The whole planet her concept and just the music video in general as well is like the one of the smartest and most creative things i’ve ever seen @DojaCat come here lemme kiss ur brain,” one fan tweeted, and another wrote, “doja cat is such an amazing artist and i will never get tired of saying that.. the way she can do any concept and it suits her. no one is on her level!” 

[Courtesy of Youtube]Doja announced the collab on Wednesday (Apr. 7) by sharing the single’s cover art: a turquoise SZA facing a pink Doja, both emerging out of a technicolor desert landscape. “I been in a bad mood all day but i’m glad* KMM is coming tomorrow,” she tweeted, with SZA adding, “SAME AND SAAAAMME.”

“Kiss Me More” marks the conclusion to Doja’s Hot Pink era. The 2019 album helped Doja reach a new level of success, thanks to singles “Juicy,” and “Say So,” which include a chart-topping remix featuring Nicki Minaj. Doja also got praise for bringing nu-metal back, when she preformed an amped-up, guitar-fueled version of “Say So” at the 2020 MTV Europe Music Awards (where she also won for Best New Act.) This era was capped off with three nominations at the 2021 Grammy Awards – Best New Artist, Record of the Year, and Best Pop Solo Performance.

“I’ve always wanted to try things,” Doja told SZA in an interview for V Magazine, in which the “Say So” singer shared that her third album, Planet Her, is due this summer. “I commend artists, like you, who stick to something. It feels pleasing aesthetically and very driven. For me, I want to try all these things, but I’m starting to learn what I’m falling into is a lot of the house, disco, vintage-y essences—that’s where my heart kind of lies. But I still am doing shit that I don’t understand. It’s still really fun!”

“I wanted to be a rapper before I was a singer at all,” added Doja. “And I always wanted to sing because singing is amazing when you hit a note and you’re like, ‘Wow.’ It’s a feeling that a lot of people can’t really describe. It’s amazing to be able to sing and create melodies and whatnot but I always started off wanting to rap. They’ve just melded together, and I’ve just been able to make those two come together. … But it’s hard. A lot of things are one genre, but a lot of people are putting shit together so how are we supposed to perfectly place things in categories anymore? When experimentation and whatnot is a huge thing.”

SZA also gave an update to her next album while speaking with PopSugar. Fans have been eagerly awaiting a follow-up to 2017’s Ctrl, especially after she dropped “Hit Different” and “Good Days” in 2020. I’ve been catapulted into rushing my album, which I said I wasn’t gonna do,” she said. “I’m just trying to have fun and really let my heart speak and get out of my head.” The results will be unlike anything she has released before. “”I’m different, so how could [my music] not be different?,” she told PopSugar. “So much of me is in my music, it’s literally verbatim whatever’s on my mind, and I see the world way differently than I did [before].”

“Labeling is so dead and so done, and it really does everybody a disservice,” she said, adding that she’s “excited to continue to shatter any boundaries or titles ’cause that’s what has to happen for us to grow.”

Addison Rae is not only a TikTok star, but also a singer. The social media star released her debut song and music video, ‘Obsessed,’ and revealed why she’s pursuing music.

Addison Rae is dancing again — but not for a TikTok this time. The 20-year-old TikTok star dropped the ultimate surprise when the clock struck midnight on March 19: her first ever song and music video, called “Obsessed.” This is also the word fans used to describe Addison’s music debut!

Addison not only showed off her style (courtesy of stylist Kyle Luu), but her moves, too, which were guided by choreographers Sara Biv and Calvit Hodge. They have worked with the likes of Nicki Minaj, Major Lazer and Camila Cabello!

Addison Rae rocks a Dion Lee corset with Dickies pants in a dance number in the “Obsessed” music video. [Courtesy of YouTube]The track is an empowering anthem about how Addison is “obsessed” with herself…just as much as her admirer is! “I’m obsessed with me-e-e as much as you / Say you’d die for me I’d die for me-e too / And if I lost you, I’d still have me, I can’t lose / When you say that you’re obsessed with me, me too,” Addison — who is dating fellow TikTok star Bryce Hall — sings in the chorus.

“One could take it as being vainly obsessed with yourself, but that’s not what I’m trying to communicate,” Addison told Vogue while discussing the confidence in her lyrics. “It’s more I can love myself as much as you love me, and that’s important. There are days where I struggle, and it’s definitely a work in progress to accept who I am and give myself the love I deserve. But that message was so strong, and I wanted to communicate it [in the lyrics].”

While many fans were surprised to see Addison make the jump from TikTok to music, this is not something she took up on a whim. “From the beginning, I wanted to make sure that I was writing my own music,” Addison also told Vogue. “I remember jotting down lyrics when I was little and trying to figure out how to make them a song, [now] I’m learning every detail and from amazing songwriters.”

Addison joined TikTok in July of 2019, and in less than two years, she has went from being a Louisiana State University student to becoming a full-fledged celebrity. Addison is also known for being close friends with Keeping Up with the Kardashians star Kourtney Kardashian, and they’ll both be making their film debuts in the upcoming remake of the movie She’s All That (which will instead be called He’s All That).

Drake Raps That Moms Get ‘Googly-Eyed’ Over Him At Son’s Parent Teacher Conferences In New Song

Drake celebrated being a dad on his new song, ‘Lemon Pepper Freestyle,’ rapping about dropping his 3-year-old son Adonis off at school while making all the other moms go crazy over his good looks and fame.

On Scary Hours 2, Drake gave love to both his “lil man” Adonis Graham and his baby’s mother, Sophie Brussaux (while also rapping about giving her money.) Drake, 34, mentioned both during “Lemon Pepper Freestyle,” one of the three songs on his new EP. “I sent her the child support, she sent me the heart emoji / They all say they love me, but they hardly know me / Yeah, dropped him off at school, big day for my lil’ man,” he spits, per Genius. “Recess hits, daddy prolly made another M.”

If the thought of Drake in a pre-K line wasn’t crazy enough, Drake talks about the problems he faces whenever he needs to chat with his boy’s educations about his development. “School bell rings, and I’m out there to get him again / Yeah, teacher-parent meetings, wives get googly-eyed/ Regardless of what they husbands do to provide / Askin’ if I know Beyoncé and Nicki Minaj.”

Adonis turns 4-years-old in October 2021, so he might not be in pre-K just yet (3-K, perhaps.) Of course, Drake mocks the whole idea of him being a carpool dad in the next verse. “Of course, pull up to the front in the fleet of Suburbans / Flooded French Immersion with the Secret Service / Sh-t is so obvious, it defeats the purpose.” So, the next time a fleet of SUVs with bodyguards pulls up to a random elementary school in Toronto, you know it’s probably Drake.

It’s a rare treat when Drake lets the world get a look at his fatherly side. After keeping Adonis’s existence a secret until Pusha T spilled the tea in 2018, Champagne Papi has done his best to give Adonis a proper and stress-free upbringing out of the public eye. Most recently, Drake shared a few pics of him bonding with Adonis while hanging out with Drake’s mom Sandy Graham. In the IG Stories, Drake teaches his son how to tie a do-rag around his head. Drake’s expression was very focused, proving that while he may joke about fatherhood in his songs, he takes the job seriously.

While Scary Hours 2 isn’t the highly-anticipated (and frequently delayed) Certified Lover Boy album, there’s enough drama and swagger on this three-track EP to hold fans over for a while. Drake took a victory lap while taking fans on a tour of Toronto in the braggadocious music video for “What’s Next.” In “Wants & Needs,” Drake name-dropped Kanye West, despite their notorious feud, in a way that had fans hopeful for reconciliation (or, confused if the feud is back on.) If this is a sampling of the drama and love fans can expect when the full-length drops, Certified Lover Boy is going to be the biggest album of the year.

Nicki Minaj is mourning the death of her father, Robert Maraj, who was killed in a hit-and-run.

Maraj was age 64 at the time of his death.

“Their relationship wasn’t always dandy but they grew closer in recent years and regularly talk and see each other even though they live on separate coasts,” the source said. “This one hit her and her brothers and mom hard. The entire family is in deep somber mood right now.”
