Could the third time be the charm for Hip-Hop heavyweights NBA YoungBoy and Nicki Minaj?

After earning critical acclaim for their 2022 collaboration ‘I Admit’ and a Hot 100 top 40 placement before that with 2020’s ‘What That Speed About?,’ the hitmakers are undoubtedly hoping to zoom to even higher chart territory with their newest duet, ‘WTF.’

Found on NBA’s April 21-due LP, ‘Don’t Try This at Home,’ ‘WTF’ sees its performers trade verses about making sure people remember to put some respect on their names.

“I don’t know who the f–k these n-ggas is / Who the f–k these b-tches? / Huh, who the f–k these people are? / Go tell ’em that we can’t kick it,” Youngboy spits on the chorus of the Yetty-produced bop.

The tune’s arrival was accompanied by a ballet-inspired, Issac Garcia-directed music video. See it inside.

Waxing honest about the spar that has seen the groups debating whether to make their joint concet co-headlined or top-billed by Xscape, the sisters with voices waxed frank with their disapproval of how their peers treated them.

Speaking with host Sherri Shepherd, they said, “there’s been too much disrespect.”

Following their 2001 remake of the LaBelle classic ‘Lady Marmalade,’ GRAMMY-winning singers P!nk and Christina Aguilera went from topping charts to being #1 on each other’s sh*tlists – a feud most thought was put to rest in 2017 but was seemingly reignited in 2023 as the former promoted her latest album, February’s ‘Trustfall.‘

Despite “taking responsibility” for her seemingly unintentional role in reheating the beef, Xtina fans (affecionately called #Fighters) weren’t buying that P!nk wasn’t being intentionally shady when she referred to the ‘Fighter‘ singer as ‘not very nice’ and naming ‘Marmalade’ as one of the least favorite music videos shot over her career.

Aguilera remained mum during the height of the reignited drama, but seemingly broke her silence recently when she took to the ‘Call Her Daddy’ podcast.

‘Eyes Closed,’ an ode to ‘heartbreaking loss,’ arrived on March 24 as the first single lifted from Ed Sheeran‘s May 5-due new album, ‘Subtract.’

“This song is about losing someone, feeling like every time you go out and you expect to just bump into them, and everything just reminds you of them and the things you did together,” Ed explained. “You sorta have to take yourself out of reality sometimes to numb the pain of loss, but certain things just bring you right back into it.”

To bring the song to life, Sheeran sought to encapsulate sadness as ‘an imaginary creature’ (a big blue monster) and turned to the 1950 classic ‘Harvey‘ for inspiration for its music video.  The cinematic venture was undoubtedly part of the fuel that helped propel ‘Eyes’ to a top 40 opening on this week’s Hot 100.

Another stride to keep the tune front-of-mind for his beloved fans, affectionately called #Sheerios, came courtesy of a behind the scenes look at its Mia Barnes-directed music video.
