Nicki Minaj Gossip

Megan Thee Stallion covers the new issue of Paper Magazine which is only right, as she’s the inventor and muse for Hot Girl Summer. Anyone tapped into current hip-hop knows that the internet is truly undefeated, making and breaking careers, propelling underground artists, mixtapes, and singles to stardom that used to be the work of the label system. Full Story

Nicki Minaj exploded onto our Twitter timelines and Apple Music on Friday, releasing her new single and video for “Megatron”. Then, we were gifted a new episode of Queen Radio Full Story

Nicki Minaj is in the news. Usually this makes me happy but Miley Cyrus has decided to speak on her to roll out three singles. On one called "Cattitude," Miley raps “I love you Nicki, but I listen to Cardi.” As fans, we can joke about the Nicki hate-train which she has, in the past, benefited from, but there are other times when we should analyze the ways people dislike black women for no reason, which I elaborated on last year for Vice Full Story

Nicki Minaj’s association with “Barbie” is well-known. From the moment she came on the scene, “Barbie” has been her whole deal, her “barbz” ride-or-die with her every feud. Seeing her last night in “Barbie” pink, with a “Barbie” high ponytail, was almost a throwback. Full Story

At this point, the Cardi B and Nicki Minaj beef is going to go on for as long as 50 Cent and Ja Rule’s. Twenty years from now, which one is going to be the 50, hanging on to the petty for dear life and buying out stadium seats for the sole purpose of being an immature dick Full Story

Over the past few weeks, we should have been focusing on the fact that Nicki Minaj gave her best TV performance she’s given in recent memory at the VMAs. We should be talking about how Queen is her best album to date Full Story

Yesterday, I wrote about Nicki Minaj’s album Queen. I mentioned that the rollout has been messy. Part of that mess included Nicki’s Twitter habits. Nicki’s sloppy social media tendencies continued yesterday when she came for her ex Safaree Samuels in a series of tweets that are so hilariously savage, I almost want to defend them. Full Story

Nicki Minaj’s potential has been long evaluated and dissected. Since Nicki bulldozed her way into hip-hop’s popular consciousness with an exciting, spine-tingling and truly impeccable verse on “Monster,” there are many rap critics and fans who have been waiting for Nicki’s “MOTHERF-CKING MONSTA” to manifest itself in a full cohesive album worthy of that raw and unrelenting talent. Full Story

Yes, I’m 5. But I don’t really know how to react to the “news” that Nicki Minaj and Eminem are dating.  The story broke because on YG’s new song “Big Bank”, Nicki’s verse Full Story

I don’t think Nicki Minaj or Cardi B wanted to be sharing headlines this week. In a week that should be monumental for them both, individually, Nicki Minaj and Cardi B are entangled in a predictable but still frustrating storyline. It’s the easy narrative: the lone chart-topping women in a genre dominated by men released new music in the same 7-day span (like men do all the time) so they must hate each other and want to see each other fail. Full Story
