AceShowbiz – Cardi B has spoken out about Nicki Minaj‘s fake former assistant controversy. After an Instagram user claiming to be an ex-assistant of the “Bang Bang” rapper said that Nicki made comments on her child Kulture, Cardi reacted to the whole drama as she shared that she didn’t buy the claims.

“Another thing that I’m seeing is people saying, ‘Oh, you be discussing this, this, and that with Armon,’ ” she said of YouTuber Armon Wiggins, insisting that she has nothing to do with the fake page. Cardi also shared that she was asked by bloggers for input on the “tea.”

She continued, “No, a lot of blogs hit me up asking me about that bulls**t that was going on two days ago. And I told everybody, ‘No, that is not true.’ ” She went on to say, “There was lies talking bout ‘oh Mike WiLL Made It told you this and that and said this about your kid,’ no. That is not true, that is not true. ‘Have you reached out this and that’- no. it’s not true, I think it’s false, I think it’s a troll. And that what I told Arman and what I told everybody else.”

The “Bodak Yellow” rapper also revealed, “I’m not discussing everybody, I’m telling ppl no this s**t is a lie, because guess what if I don’t respond to people they are gonna assume that it’s real and then they are gonna run with it. I don’t lie on people and I’m not gonna let the narrative go that is true. What’s wrong with me saying it’s a lie it’s not true.”

The wife of Offset later called out people who only wanted to see strife if she entertained the claims by the troll account and slammed Nicki in response. “Y’all would have loved it if I entertained it… ‘yes it’s true’… but that’s not true, I told people it’s false, that’s a troll, that’s a troll account and that’s how I left it, nice clean and there. And Arman wasn’t the only one that reached out. A lot of blogs DM me and a lot of blogs hit my publicist and we denied all of it and we said it was a lie. thank you, carry on,” the rapper divulged.

Prior to this, Nicki hopped on Instagram Live on Monday, August 1 to address the fake assistant controversy. She mocked the rumors as she pretended to be crying and admitted to some of the allegations, before calling the allegations “dumb.” She said, “My assistant, y’all they went and told everybody that it is true I owe a hundred million dollars to IRS.”

She also jokingly admitted that her hairstylist Tae “is so uncomfortable around,” but ended up cracking up. “The tea sounds so f**king dumb. And for a person to believe it you would have to be dumb,” she noted, “It’s clearly a kid. Do you know how much money you have to make to owe that amount of money to IRS?”

It was later revealed that the fake page used a photo of Megan Feldman Bettencourt, a freelance journalist that worked for Business Insider, Harper’s Bazaar and Salon. After she claimed that she “never had a secret life as the ‘ex-assistant’ ” of Nicki on Twitter, the femcee replied to her tweet, “Ok, you know TF what? well hey, if you ever need a job hit me up. I feel bad but hey, cheers to Newsweek! always a silver lining i- i guess?”

Meek Mill has parted ways with Roc Nation Management, according to Billboard. Meek has had ties to JAY-Z’s company since coming on board in 2012, where Kevin Durant associate Rich Kleiman served as his manager.

The Philly rhymer entered into a joint venture deal between his Dreamchasers label and Roc Nation in 2019. Now, Meek Mill’s existence has been scrubbed from all of the Roc’s artist and social media pages.

Trouble had been brewing in paradise when Meek voiced his frustrations with Roc Nation and his label, Atlantic Records, after he felt the promotion of his 2021 album Expensive Pain had been severely lacking. He also accused them of restricting his future releases.

“They didn’t put nothing into expensive pain and then said I can’t drop another project for 9 months at the end of my contract after I made them 100’s of millions,” he tweeted in February. “How would can anybody survive that … most rappers can’t speak because they depend on these companies ‘I don’t.’”

Expensive Pain debuted at No. 3 on the Billboard 200 with 95,000 total album-equivalent units sold in the first week.

‘I Have No Words or Breath Left for Somebody Like That’: D.L. Hughley Declares He ‘Don’t Even Know’ Who Mo’Nique Is After Reporter Brings Up Apology

Don’t expect to hear much from veteran comedian D.L. Hughley regarding his feud with Academy Award-winner Mo’Nique. The “King of Comedy” star appears to have erased the entire incident from his memory when asked about the online quarrel that turned personal with the “Precious” star. 

“I don’t even know who you’re talking about,” the comedian told a TMZ cameraperson who attempted to bring up Mo’Nique’s apology. “Listen, I don’t even know who you’re talking about. That—you only get so many breaths in your life, and I refuse to use one more on somebody like that.”

When the reporter tried again, Hughley replied, “I haven’t heard anything. I don’t listen to that.” The 59-year-old actor continued, “I work, my family’s intact, I just came from doing — we just came from doing a benefit for the people that were affected by the tragedy in Buffalo. I get to go home and see my granddaughter. I have no words or breath left for somebody like that.” 

The cameraperson asked the star if he would “Never work with her again?” He answered, “I don’t even know who it is.”

Many critics in the video’s comment section sympathized with the father, including one user who wrote that they “don’t blame this man ONE BIT for not wasting another breath, word or thought about Mo’Nique. Keep on rocking D.L. while she plays in her kingdom of ashes.”

“Now y’all see why Tyler Perry just said ‘bye’ to the woman,” referencing the actress’s longtime feud with Black Hollywood trifecta Perry, Oprah Winfrey, and Lee Daniels, who recently reunited with the star. “She does nothing but argue and instigate with producers,” the person added, “I get you don’t want to be treated badly or whatever, but lady sometimes at JOBS, you have to let it roll off your back.”

“Monique is so far gone and lost in the fighting forest, she can’t find her way out,”

Monique is so far gone and lost in the fighting forest, she can’t find her way out,” commented a third. “I feel like Nicki Minaj is the person who she needs to have a conversation about when a how to seize fire and get back to your purpose, she is imploding bad.”

After a grievance over a headliner position that Mo’Nique accused Hugley of removing her from, the two spent days exchanging fire on social media regarding contracts and past treatment. The “Phat Girlz” star further escalated matters by bringing up Hughley’s marriage and a past clip of the industry veteran discussing why he didn’t initially believe that a 13-year-old boy sexually assaulted his daughter at the time.

Mo’Nique later issued what many deemed as a back-handed apology. However, Hugley has yet to address it; by the looks of it, he never will

Beyoncé on Thursday revealed the cover art and intention behind her eighth studio album, Renaissance.

The singer shared a photo her herself in symbolic silver jewelry adorning her body while sitting atop an illuminated crystal horse sculpture. The cover photo was shot by Carlijn Jacobs and featured Beyoncé with a classical makeup look as her piercing eyes stare forward.

She shared a message to her millions of fans ahead of the album to be released exactly one month from now.

“Creating this album allowed me a place to dream and to find escape during a scary time for the world,” she wrote alongside the art.

Beyoncé also outlined her intentions behind the music and how she expected the project to be received.

“My intention was to create a safe place, a place without judgment. A place to be free of perfectionism and overthinking. A place to scream, release, feel freedom. It was a beautiful journey of exploration.”

She added that she hopes the record inspires listeners to relax and release their tension.

“I hope you find joy in this music. I hope it inspires you to release the wiggle. Ha! And to feel as unique, strong, and sexy as you are.”

So far, she has released one track- “Break My Soul,” which debuted at No. 1 on the Hot 100 chart.

The house music track has inspired fans with its upbeat rhythm, and it appears that the ‘Lemonade’ singer could be dropping more music soon. Fans have speculated that the 16-track album could be released in parts. The singer has not dropped another track yet, but her post is symbolic of June 29, just a month away from July 29, when the entire project is set to be released.

A tracklist for Beyonce’s new album Renaissance is not yet available and it’s unclear if her husband Jay-Z will make an appearance. Chris Brown also recently reveal that she would be his dream collaboration and calls her the greatest of all

Tyler Perry apparently believes in the mantra go big or go home, or so it seems after pictures of a sprawling mega-mansion the award-winning director is building for himself in the Atlanta area surfaced online. The breathtaking view has almost everyone on social media in awe of the property’s beauty. 

Above Home shared on their Instagram that the “Alex Cross” star’s new home is “situated on 1,000+ acres and features approximately 40,000 square feet of living space with eight bedrooms & 12 bathrooms and reportedly cost $100+ million to build.”

Fans online were stunned by the sight of the 52-year-old’s new residence, including one Instagram user who quipped, “That’s not a home that’s a compound.”

Several online users saw Perry’s home as inspiration, including one fan who wrote, “This is kinda motivation to me I want a giant home like this one day.” “A black man wow,” chimed another person. A third fan commented, “Crazy… That’s a lot of house! How much are your taxes?? Yikes!”

Before this massive home improvement, Perry bought a piece of land in 2007 for $9 million , where he built a 30,000-square-foot house. He ultimately sold it in 2016 for $17.5 million. That person–reportedly not a celebrity–received $15 million when he sold it to veteran comedian and longtime television show host Steve Harvey.

FAT JOECALL’S TEKASHI ‘P****’ …Tekashi Fires Back

EXCLUSIVE DETAILS3.9K5/23/2022 4:30 PM PT

TMZ.comUPDATE

5:14 PM PT — Tekashi is firing back at Fat Joe, telling TMZ … “Fat Joe is jealous of 69. 69 has done more in his young career than Fat Joe has ever done in his long career.”

6ix9ine adds … “Fat Joe said I was miserable and want to die? Fat Joe is miserable and wants to die because Fat Joe doesn’t have half of what 69 has in money and cars.”

Tekashi concludes … “Fat Joe said I’m not a gangster, it was all for promotion? That’s fake news. What’s his proof that I ever said that? There is no proof. He’s lying.”

Fat Joe can’t hold his tongue when the topic of Tekashi 6ix9ine and snitching comes up — and now he’s tearing the rainbow-haired rapper a new soul.

Joey Crack was the latest guest of Math Hoffa‘s barbershop-style podcast “Expert Opinion,” and he had some choice words … describing Tekashi as “a pussy, a sucka, a bitch!”https://www.youtube-nocookie.com/embed/?enablejsapi=1&origin=https%3A%2F%2Fwww.tmz.com&widgetid=1

If you recall, 6ix9ine infamously ratted on his Treyway Bloods Gang and justified the deed by saying they turned on him, but Joe couldn’t give, pardon the phrase, a rat’s ass!

As he started going in on Tekashi, Joe pointed out he was sober and not drunkenly spewing opinions. They both hail from NYC — completely different eras — and Joe hints at feeling betrayed when he saw firsthand Tekashi admitting he’s just trolling and pretending to be a

For his part, Tekashi recently claimed on “TMZ Live” he doesn’t start all the beefs he has with various rappers, he just fillets them when they come his way.

He can add one more to that list, and while Fat Joe says he doesn’t wish any harm on 6ix9ine … he also believes the guy’s got a death wish.

Quavo and Takeoff Drop “Hotel Lobby” Video Under New Moniker Unc and Phew

0
Unc and Phew have officially arrived.
The rap duo, formed by Migos members Quavo and Takeoff, made their big debut this week with the release of “Hotel Lobby”—their first record release under the new moniker. The Murda Beatz-produced track was accompanied by a video that nods to the modern-day cult classic Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas. The visual was helmed by Hunco Films.

The name “Unc and Phew” is a reference to the ATL rapper’s family ties, as Quavo is Takeoff’s uncle. The two spoke about their relationship during a 2013 interview with The Fader, shedding more light on their experience of growing up together in Georgia.
“We moved from Athens to Gwinett when Takeoff was in elementary and I was in middle school,” Quavo said. “His momma took care of everything, and us. We always stayed in the same house. We share everything. He’s basically like a brother.”
