The 2019 MTV VMAs are shaping up to be quite the sight thanks to the unveiling of its highly anticipated performance roster.

Not even a week after sending fans of Taylor Swift into a frenzy with news she’ll be showing off a hit or two from her forthcoming album, ‘Lover’ (as we reported here), MTV’s announced the slew of other hitmakers who will be filling out the rest of the show ahead of its live airing on August 26.

Last night saw Nicki Minaj set the airwaves ablaze with a drama-filled episode of Queen Radio on Apple Music. 

As reported, she sounded off on the likes of Joe Budden, Trina(‘s team), and ‘The Breakfast Club’ – notably Charlamagne and DJ Envy – many of whom she accuses of fuelling and choo-choo’ing “The Nicki Hate Train.”

This morning on Power 105.1, The Breakfast Club weighed-in. And while they were endorsing of the femcee (expressing that they love Onika), Charlamagne warned that she needs to stop claiming everyone’s against her, so as not to become “Rap’s Mo’Nique.” Yikes.

Nicki Minaj is trending on social media thanks to the latest drama on Queen Radio. But so too is Trina.

However, it’s for an altogether different reason.

Earlier today Reginald Saunders, Trina’s A&R, took to social media with a damning post branding Nicki a “deceiver” and a “manipulator.” All of which relating to their collaboration ‘BAPS’ from recently released album ‘The One.’

Now, Saunders has opened up more about the matter in an in-depth interview with Funky Dineva. 

In the 17-minute interview, he unpacks issues surrounding the song’s video (or lack-thereof), the release of ‘Megatron’ on the same day as ‘BAPS,’ and more.

Nicki Minaj just set to airwaves ablaze with the latest episode of Queen Radio on Apple Music. 

Since its launch, the platform has been seized by the femcee to vent about any and everything.

And this instalment was no different.

With outspoken rapper/host Joe Budden serving as her guest, Onika didn’t hold back taking him to task for comments he made about her in the past.

The result? A seismic clash that’s still on-going as we type.

“These are my furry children, and this is a really proud moment for me that they are on a Teen Choice surfboard,” she said. “Aesthetically speaking, this might be my favorite award.”
