Nicki Minaj Teases the Super Freaky Girl Remix

Nicki Minaj’s comeback has been legendary. The head Barbie released all-new music in 2022, broke records, and even won this year’s MTV Video Music Awards’ prestigious Michael Jackson Video Vanguard Award. It goes without saying that the Queen is here to stay, and her supporters adore her in every way. On Wednesday, September 7, Minaj teased the remix of her number-one hit “Super Freaky Girl” on Instagram.

“#QueenMix coming to collect her things,” she wrote. “Soon come.” She was silent on who is set to feature on the track, though, fans dived  into the comments box to share their opinions on which artists it could be. “I’m thinking all females,” a fan commented. Another one added, “The girls who congratulated her I remember she told then to check their dms.”

The “Super Freaky Girl” singer Nicki, who was inspired by the late Rick James, whose 1981 track “Super Freak” was sampled on her most recent single, launched her “Super Freaky Girl” alter ego Nick James just days before to the QueenMix revelation. She wrote, “BE ON the LOOK OUT when I come through #BOLO #NickJames,” alongside a snapshot of herself dressed in a Rick James-inspired outfit that she shared with her 201 million followers.

There are no immediate plans to slow down the “Super Freaky Girl” train. Nicki released the music video for her popular song last week, and it has already received 6.7 million views. When she posted a behind-the-scenes peek from the “SFG” video on Instagram, she stated, “The Barbz asked for a raw and uncut moment in this dress chi.” “The Super Freaky Girl video is now available. OMG. Dear You,”

Drake Reveals New Date For Young Money Get-Together

Following the opening of OVO Fest, things got off to a tremendous start last weekend. Drake showed up on stage for the All Canadian North Stars performance honoring the pioneers of hip-hop who made their mark on the genre. It appears like his excessive partying caught up to him, which is unfortunate. He revealed on Monday that he had tested positive for COVID-19, and that the Young Money Reunion event for OVO Fest had been postponed as a result.

“I am truly devastated to say that I tested positive for COVID and the Young Money reunion show scheduled for tonight is being rescheduled to the SOONEST date possible. I will keep the city posted and share the new date whenever we have it locked,” he stated. “Until then I hope everyone stays safe and healthy and I love you all I am so sorry for letting you down on our weekend together and the moment I test negative I will give you everything I got on stage (except the COVID).” 

Fortunately, it appears that the immunization worked because the rapper tested negative a few days later. Nicki Minaj and Lil Wayne will be joining him for the Young Money reunion at OVO Fest, he announced on Instagram today.

“Negative test…positive outcome…this was the only date available until the fall and because the family is so solid everybody is flying back in to make it happen for you all…SEE YOU SATURDAY…young moulaaa,” He made a statement on Instagram.

Nicki Minaj Appears To Criticize Kanye West During Her Performance At The Essence Festival

Nicki Minaj abruptly ended her “Monster” performance at the Essence Festival on Friday, saying she doesn’t “fuck with clowns.” Numerous fans consider Minaj’s guest verse on the Kanye West song to be her greatest.

She performed a number of her biggest songs, including “Do We Have A Problem,” “We Go Up,” “Did It On ’em,” and “Beez in the Trap,” until her DJ started playing “Monster” and Minaj abruptly stopped it.

“A monster though!” Minaj started. “A monster though! But we don’t fuck with clowns.”

She then presented Lil Wayne and Birdman as her special guests for the set, along with Cash Money Records co-founder Birdman. They gave the act “#1 Stunna, “Seeing Green, High School, Truffle Butter, and A Milli are few examples.

It’s unclear what caused the relationship between the two musicians to deteriorate, if Minaj’s remarks were meant as an insult. Online haters speculated that West’s recent duet with Cardi B on “Hot Shit” was perhaps the reason.

After Minaj’s Performance, West Has Not Yet Commented

2010 saw the debut of “Monster,” which was a tune on Kanye West’s My Beautiful Dark Twisted Fantasy, his fifth studio album. The song also includes Jay-Z, Rick Ross, and Bon Iver in addition to Minaj.

On Sunday, Summer Walker, The Roots and Friends, Method Man, Raekwon, Ghostface Killah, and other artists are expected to perform at the Essence Festival’s continuing stage.

Doja Cat Talks About Being A Rapper And Nicki Minaj’s Influence

Doja Cat claims that winning a Grammy in the rap category would mean “everything” to her. Despite hip hop purists debating whether she is a rapper. Earlier this year, her collaboration with Saweetie, “Best Friend,” got nominated for a Grammy for Best Rap Song.

“The only person who should be rating hip-hop is an OG or somebody who is respected in hip-hop,”  Doja requested a fresh profile from Elle.

She revealed why she enjoys rap music: “When I was little, that’s kind of all I listened to,” she named Busta Rhymes and Lauryn Hill. “I’ve rapped since the beginning, and I really couldn’t even sing that well to begin with I got a lot better. I use my voice as a tool to create these worlds, and it’s fine if people think that I can’t rap.”

Remy Ma is one well-known figure that claims Doja isn’t a rapper. In a March appearance on Drink Champs, the legendary rapper commended Doja for making “dope recordings,” but claimed her music shouldn’t be  among rap music.

Doja later recognized Nicki Minaj as one of her key influences in the interview. They previously worked together on a remix of Doja’s “Say So.”

“I think her as a businesswoman really inspired me,” According to Doja. “The way Nicki can carry herself felt almost alien to me, because I was kind of a little runty kid, trapped in her room, just watching YouTube videos. And back then I was like, ‘Damn, that’s dope.’”

Nicki Minaj’s Father’s Killer Pleads Guilty To Two Counts Of Murder And Faces Prison Time

Nicki Minaj’s family is on the verge of receiving justice. Robert Maraj’s killer, Charles Polevich, entered a plea, according to TMZ, more than a year after his death.

The 71-year-old admitted to leaving the scene of an incident without reporting it and tampering with physical evidence, both felonies.

Polevich was facing a maximum sentence of seven years in prison, but Judge Howard Sturim has agreed to sentence him to only one year. “No more than one year in jail, along with community service and suspension of his driver’s license.”

According to Page Six, the motorist struck Maraj on February 12th, 2021, when he was crossing a street in Mineola. Polevich stepped out of his car and asked the victim if he was okay before fleeing the scene without offering any assistance or calling the cops.

Carol Maraj, Nicki Minaj’s mother, filed a $150 million lawsuit against Polevich in Nassau County’s state Supreme Court in March of last year. Ben Crump and Paul Napoli, attorneys at the time, stated, “[Polevich] was not only irresponsible and negligent but more concerned about running away and hiding than seeking help.”

“Polevich’s behaviour was criminal, cowardly, and immoral. We will hold him responsible for his reckless actions that led to Robert Maraj’s death!”

Nicki Minaj Reveals Fivio Foreign Inquired About Her Appearance On “What’s My Name”

 

Nicki Minaj and Fivio Foreign created an obvious smash with “We Go Up,” but did you know that the Queen Barb got a slot on his “What’s My Name” tune by the New York-born rapper?

If you’re unfamiliar with the song, it’s on Fivio’s debut B.I.B.L.E. album, which was out on April 8th and features Queen Naija and Coi Leray. The three-minute, 21-second title includes a sample of Destiny’s Child’s “Say My Name,” and it became a fan favorite from the tracklist.

Nicki Minaj On “We Go Up” Video

Mama Minaj made it clear after the release of the music video for “We Go Up” that she won’t hesitate to “delay the album” if the video doesn’t do well. That doesn’t appear to be an issue as the clip was trending #1 only a few days ago.

The “Did It On ‘Em” recording artist came by the comment area to give a few words after the father of two submitted a joyous post. “The [fact that] you asked me to get on ‘Say My Name’ months ago, now even that’s [f*cking] outta here!!! YIKES. CONGRATULATIONS,” 

Minaj also stated in a comment “Fivi n*ggaz ain’t even drop a bag on this song yet. No YouTube countdown/promo. No radio. No playlisting. You a real one. It’s [Up!].” 

“As tempted as I was to make it a 2-3 minute song, nah man. [F*ck that]. All genuine love from the PEOPLE!!!” she added.

Thugger closed his eyes, shirtless, and covered in blood in the photograph. Fans went wild with his caption.

“These past few weeks gave me so much to talk bout.. y’all ready??” he stated. People immediately assumed Thug would speak about the murder of LaKevia Jackson, the mother of his 14-year-old son. She got shot and died at a family entertainment facility during a bowling alley and a skating rink last month following a reported dispute or quarrel.

A man is reportedly arrested in connection with the slaying earlier this month, according to reports. Young Thug hasn’t said anything about his terrible death, but many believe the time has come for him to speak up.
