Nicki Minaj Releases The Video For “We Go Up” With Fivio Foreign, Threatens Album Delay

Nicki Minaj has been working hard in the studio in preparation for the start of 2022. In March, she returned to Brooklyn to hire drill rhymer Fivio Foreign for “We Go Up.” Less than a month later, the New York natives are spinning the block for a gritty visual, which dropped on Tuesday (April 19).

Fivio chose the sour apple lime green sports car while Nicki chose the bright pink Lamborghini to race around the Big Apple. They paid honor to their birthplace by making New York City appear far more hospitable than the customary dismal days during the winter season.

Nicki Minaj Releases And Speaks On Her Fifth Studio Album

Last week, she stated on The Late Late Show with James Corden that her fifth studio album would be out before the summer of this year.

“I do know that it’s soon, and I do know that it’s a lot sooner than it’s ever been,” she said. “And I know that it’s coming this year. And I know that it’ll be out before the summertime.”

Nicki Minaj isn’t about to let the Barbz off the hook yet, threatening to postpone her album if the “We Go Up” video doesn’t do “what needs to be done” by any criteria.

“If y’all don’t do what needs to be done with the #WeGoUpVideo I will significantly and I DO mean significantly…delay the…the…the…oh what’s the word… oh! the album,” she wrote. “That’s right. *sighs* the album *devil wears Prada Meryl Streep voice*.”

6ix9ine Mocks Fivio Foreign's First Week Album Sales

6ix9ine Mocks Fivio Foreign’s First Week Album Sales.

6ix9ine and Fivio Foreign are in a verbal spat, and as with most feuds featuring the “TROLLZ” rapper, it’s just going to get worse.

Fivio’s debut album B.I.B.L.E., which was released on Friday (April 8), is expected to sell 29,000 album-equivalent units in its first week, according to reports earlier this week. While that amount is expected to land 6ix9ine in the top 10 on the Billboard 200 for the first time, he is less than happy with the results.

6ix9ine On Fivio’s Sales Forecasts

On Wednesday (April 13), after seeing Fivio’s sales forecasts on DJ Akademiks’ Instagram page, the controversial rap figure — who has sold 55K, 66K, and 53K first-week copies across his first three releases — rushed into the comments area to mock his fellow New Yorker.

“This y’all king?” he wrote. “Not blackballed, all those features, the whole industry promoted that [crying face emojis] and now you Kanye and Nicki sidekick even they even tried to help you promote.”

The spat between Fivio Foreign and 6ix9ine began last week, sparked by rivalry for the title of “King of New York.”

Fivio, who claimed to be the successor to the late Pop Smoke’s throne on “City of Gods,” questioned 6ix9ine’s claim with a cryptic tweet after he said “the King of New York is coming back” while announcing his return to music.

“5 Billboards in Times Square, Top 5 songs in NY on Apple at once, & articles in both Daily News & NY Times,” he tweeted. “Don’t ever let that n*gga say he the King Of this city.”

Fivio Foreign and 6ix9ine aren’t the first rappers to fight for the title of “King of New York.” Following the tragic murder of The Notorious B.I.G. in 1997, JAY-Z and Nas famously fought for the title belt, while 50 Cent’s meteoric rise in the early 2000s generated competition with Ja Rule, Fat Joe, and Cam’ron.

Nicki Minaj Requests Punishment For The Lawyer Involved In The Sexual Assault

Nicki Minaj Requests Punishment For The Lawyer Involved In The Sexual Assault.

Nicki Minaj and her lawyer Judd Burstein are going after attorney Tyrone Blackburn, who represented a woman called Jennifer Hough in a 2021 lawsuit accusing Minaj’s husband Kenneth Petty of sexual assault. Per records obtained by Billboard.

Hough had previously cited Nicki in her lawsuit, alleging intimidation and harassment from the musician. The Pinkprint songwriter allegedly spent $30,000 on legal bills to defend herself against a “frivolous” lawsuit, which was subsequently dismissed without reason in January.

Nicki Minaj Requests Punishment For The Lawyer Involved In The Sexual Assault

Blackburn, according to Burstein, is a “bottom feeder lawyer” who only dismissed Minaj’s lawsuit after “forcing” her to pay the legal bills. Minaj and Burstein are now pursuing criminal charges against him.

“Mr. Blackburn’s conduct in this case has been disgraceful,” In a Monday filing, Burstein wrote: “He should be severely punished for it … so that, hopefully, other lawyers will understand that they have an obligation to their clients, the court, opposing counsel, and the legal profession itself not to pursue bad faith, frivolous, and indeed extortionate litigation in such a reprehensible manner.”

Burstein seeks that Blackburn pay Minaj’s legal fees and that a judge issue an order referring Blackburn to the court’s disciplinary committee for even harsher consequences. 

Jennifer Hough and Kenneth Petty’s Case

Jennifer Hough filed a lawsuit in August 2021, alleging that Petty raped her in 1994 and forced her to remain silent. She claimed she had been “traumatized her entire life” and had been harassed by Minaj, Petty, and their “allies, legal teams, and fans” in the past.

“Nicki Minaj, directly and indirectly, reached out to plaintiff Hough’s family members to ensure plaintiff would recant her legitimate claim that defendant Petty raped her,” Hough stated at the time.

The case against Petty is still pending, with Hough requesting a default due to Petty’s slow response to the action.

/0 Comments/in /by

Fivio Foreign’s long-awaited album B.I.B.L.E was released this past Friday (April 8). The album has received positive reviews  particularly from Nicki Minaj. Nicki posted a photo of herself giving Fivio flowers on her Instagram story, complimenting him on his debut album.

“This fivio foreign album rlly hittin the mthafkn spot. Sooooo SOLID. Sonically authentic & well thought out. Cohesive body of work with a signature sound that is very true to where he’s from,” Nicki added to her story. “Kayccy is on both of his osngs. chloe bodied her verse. Loved coi too @fivioforeign_8fs,” she stated. 

Fivio Foreign’s B.I.B.L.E

Fivio’s first full-length release since his blockbuster hit “Big Drip” two years ago is B.I.B.L.E. Quavo, A$AP Rocky, Lil Yachty, Polo G, Vory, KayCyy, Kanye West, Ne-Yo, and others make appearances on the 17-track album. The album also includes the single “City of Gods,” which features Alicia Keys and Ye and was previously released on Ye’s Donda 2.

Last week, the New York drill rapper stated that the lyrics to his song “What’s My Name” caused him problems in getting it cleared by Beyonce. The single, which features Queen Naija and Coi Leray, samples Destiny’s Child’s “Say My Name” from 1999. Beyonce would only clear the song if Fivio cleaned up the lyrics, according to Fivio.

Watch: Nicki Minaj Performs a Hilarious Adele Impression On “Carpool Karaoke”

/0 Comments/in /by

Nicki Minaj performed with a perfect British accent, played the clarinet, rapped a freestyle, and opened up about her life in the spotlight.

Nicki Minaj was a fantastic guest for James Corden’s “Carpool Karaoke” segment, which returned to The Late Late Show after a two-year break.

As fans tuned in and clips began to circulate, the rap legend was trending No. 1 on Twitter. A spot-on Adele impersonation was the one that got the most attention.

Nicki Minaj is well-known for her alter egos, which include Roman Zolanski, her self-proclaimed favorite Brit. However, it turns out that her impersonation of British pop superstar Adele is both frighteningly accurate and hilarious.

Nicki Imitates Adele

“People pay for these sort of viral moments, you know what I mean?!” Minaj imitated Adele’s voice.

“It made me so, so happy,” Adele said when Corden asked about her reaction to Adele’s interpretation of Minaj’s “Monster” verse in a previous segment. Nicki Minaj was embodied in her!”

Nicki rapped a freestyle while James Corden demonstrated his beatboxing abilities. “You did good though,” she said. “On the white scale, it wasn’t that white.”

Nicki Opened Up About Her Experiences.

Nicki Minaj also talked about her nervousness and dealing with public scrutiny during the session.

“I think when I was younger, probably my more natural state was to be more confident. But I think when you are a woman and you’re in the public eye all the time, if you’re not careful, you can become less confident because you’re being constantly scrutinized,” she said. She also explained that chewing ice relieves her anxiety. “It’s not natural for a human being to just always feel like everyone’s critiquing them.”

Nicki, on the other hand, felt “an amazing sense of freedom” at the early days of her career because “nobody gave a f**k” about what she was doing. “It goes from that to the complete, complete opposite,” she opened up. “If I blink my eye wrong, they’ll have a story made up about why I blinked my eye that way,” she said.

Meanwhile, the rapper promoted her new apparel by flaunting her curvy rear end in just a thong on Instagram. She captioned the photo with lines from Lil Baby’s song “Do We Have A Problem,” revealing the new merchandise.

Eminem bids Grammy bye-bye

Eminem Bids Grammy Bye-bye

/4 Comments/in /by

Eminem is not willing to have anything to do with the Grammy anymore. If you are a lover of hiphop, you’d have heard about Eminem and listened to his songs. Eminem has been nominated about 44 times and has won the Grammy 15 times. 

 

The rapper doesn’t want to have anything to do with the Recording Academy again. Having boycotted the awards, he expressed to not be part of it again. 

 

Eminem said “Every f**king year, I’m tired of seeing it. For whatever reason, they’re always pitching this hint that you might win album of the year, which used to be a big deal. I don’t think it’s a big deal now, I sat at home for the Grammys this year and watched Jay and Kendrick not get it, and I felt like one of them should have got it. I felt Joyner Lucas should have won a Grammy for “I’m Not Racist.” Every year we went, I was up for album of the year, and then ‘the winner is Norah Jones!’”

 

He said further, “Don’t f**king get us all here, to use as your selling point for your f**king show, and stiff everybody every single f**king time. After that point in time, I said don’t ever ask me to come here again. My answer is no for a hundred million years.”

 

Nicki Minaj has also expressed her displeasure towards the recording academy. Don’t forget, Kanye West is not on the list of artists to perform at this year’s Grammy Awards night.

J Prince Says Kanye, Drake, Minaj, Others To Plan All-Star Concert On Grammys Night

/3 Comments/in /by

J Prince is pro who could get anything done musically. He was the one who ended Drake and Kanye West’s beef last year and the founder of Rap-A-Lot Records. Prince helped Drake and Kanye to organize their Free Larry Hoover Benefit Concert. 

Prince took to Instagram to announce his plan to initiate  a ground breaking event. He revealed his plan on the Instagram post to organize an all-star concert. The essence is to express his displeasure with the removal of Kanye West from performing at the 2022 Grammy Awards concert. 

Prince called on Drake, Nicki Minaj, The Weeknd, Kanye West, and others to unite and plan a concert on the 64th Annual Grammy Awards night. He told them to plan the concert in Las Vegas where the Grammys will hold on the same night. 

Prince’s call for an all-star concert is coming after Kanye was removed from the list of artists to perform at the Grammys night. Kanye’s removal was due to his “concerning online behavior” towards Pete Davidson, his  ex-wife Kim Kardashian, Trevor Noah, and so on. 

Prince said, “I recommend that the artists I mentioned above — and more — come together in Las Vegas and perform at the same time as the Grammys on a special network and streaming platform to prove that ratings will change where the Grammys are concerned when the No. 1 selling genre in music — Hip Hop — come together. Because there’s power in numbers.

“The powers that be will be mad at me about this one. But fuck ’em! I love the culture. The seed has been planted; let’s water it.”

He added, “I’ve been watching the Grammys control and dictate our culture to their benefit up close and personal for the past 30 years. And all the artists, managers and executives would do is complain, but never have the nuts to come together to do anything about it. 

“This is a slave master, punish-a-n-gga mentality and act to remind us that no matter how much money we have, we’re still n-ggas in their eyes. So they cancel Kanye and discriminated against Drake, The Weeknd, Nicki Minaj and many others over the years. This will only be broken by us uniting our powers to bring about change moving forward.”

The Grammys for this year are scheduled for April 3 at the MGM Grand Garden Arena in Las Vegas.
