While most are enjoying the splash that was Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion‘s racy ‘WAP’ video, CeeLo Green is not one of them.

Indeed, so unsettled by the scantily-clad nature of the clip, the Gnarls Barkley singer was moved to speak out about displays of sexuality by female rappers more broadly. A move that saw him muse on Nicki Minaj unfavourably too.

As we reported here, Lana Del Rey got tongues wagging when she took to social media Thursday (May 21) to announce her new album – the follow-up to 2019’s ‘Norman F*cking Rockwell’ – would be arriving this fall.

In a lengthy post, the GRAMMY-nominee outlined the LP’s hold-up has been due in part to criticism she’s fielded regarding some of the subject matter of her depressing emotional songs.  Along the way, however, she probably lost support when she specifically name-dropped Beyoncé, Camila Cabello, Nicki Minaj, and Doja Cat (among others) as fellow female acts who ‘wear no clothes’ and ‘sing about f*cking.’

“Now that Doja Cat, Ariana, Camila, Cardi B, Kehlani, Nicki Minaj and Beyoncé have had number ones with songs about being sexy, wearing no clothes, fucking, cheating etc. – can I please go back to singing about being in love even if the relationship is not perfect, or dancing for money – or whatever I want – without being crucified or saying that I’m glamorizing abuse?????” – Del Rey, 2020

Her emphasis on Urban acts, opting to omit the Lady Gaga‘s, Katy Perry‘s, Taylor Swift‘s, and co., was certainly unappreciated by some music fans and – as a result – made her one of the day’s lead trending topics on Twitter.

Practically pissing off every major stanbase in music simultaneously, Del Rey was dragged mercilessly.

‘Burn’ singer Usher isn’t the only one feeling the heat from Nicki Minaj fans (affectionately called #Barbz) after weighing in on the prospect of a #VERZUZ battle between the ‘Anaconda’ hitmaker and Rap Queen Lil Kim.

As we reported here, the 8X GRAMMY winner felt the fury of the fan group after he asserted Nicki was a “product of Kim” – an assertion that was rewarded by a social media dragging.

Later discussing the fiery response to his comments on her FOX SOUL talk show ‘Out Loud,’ TV personality Claudia Jordan consulted guest co-stars Syleena Johnson, LisaRaye McCoy, and Vivica A. Fox to weigh in on the enduring attack from Minaj’s fan base.

The result?  The fan group redirected their wrath to Jordan and co. – even promising to attack her 69-year-old mother to avenge their fave.

In February 2014, Nicki Minaj issued an apology to the family of slain civil rights leader Malcolm X after his family and estate criticized her for using his photo to accompany her single, ‘Lookin Ass N*gga.’

Now, almost six years to the date, the Rap diva is under fire again – this time for offending the family of civil rights icon Rosa Parks.

It’s been over a week since a Dallas court handed down a guilty verdict to former policewoman Amber Guyger after she was tried for the murder of her neighbor, an unarmed Black man named Botham Jean, but that certainly hasn’t slowed chatter around the case.  Sentenced to 10 years in prison for the act, several aspects of the proceeding – including the length of her sentence (given the severity of the crime) – have been met with harsh criticism from legal analysts, celebrities, and more.

While the judge presiding over the case, the honorable Tammy Kemp, has been on a media blitz to justify her ‘inappropriate’ and ‘unethical’ courtroom behavior (click here to read more), other key players – including Jean’s family lawyer S. Lee Merritt – is fielding criticism on his clients’ behalf for the flack they’ve received for their courtroom actions (see:  forgiving Guyger, etc.).

After catching wind of a disparaging Twitter comment from Grammy nominated rapper Nicki Minaj after the death of star witness Joshua Brown, Merritt took to Instagram (October 10) to not only clap back but also praise the femcee’s ‘more active’ musical counterparts for their role in the fight for justice.

‘Act Up’ is exactly what fans of Nicki Minaj and Cardi B have been doing since a leaked diss track featuring the City Girls “firing shots” at both rapstresses has emerged.

B fans – affectionately called #BardiGang – embraced the Rap twosome after their fave lent her fiery bars to the song ‘Twerk‘ (helping it become their first RIAA-certified hit).  Elsewhere, Minaj fans – affectionately called #Barbz – have praised their fave for her approval of the ‘Girls and later joining Megan Thee Stallion‘s ‘Hot Girl Summer’ – a song that prominently features interpolations of the Atlantan duo’s biggest hit (to date).

Now, with the unearthed diss record coming to their attention, the fan bases – normally at each other’s throats – have banded together to slam the City Girls for the infraction.  Details inside:

Apparently Rap superstars Rick Ross and Nicki Minaj went from bumping speakers with their 2011 hit, ‘You the Boss,’ to bumping heads thanks to a perceived diss found aboard Ricky Rozay’s ‘Rather You Than Me’ album.

Shortly after setting the ‘Net ablaze with her fiery interview with Joe Budden on her show, ‘Queen Radio’ (as we reported here), Minaj took to the ‘Pump It Up’ performer’s platform to continue the heated discussion and also weigh in on other hot topics. When asked if she preferred Ross over The Game, she launched into a tirade to address a lyric found on The Biggest Bawse’s song, 2017’s ‘Apple of My Eye,’ where he said:

“I told Meek I wouldn’t trust Nicki / Instead of beefin’ with your dog, you just give ’em some distance.”

The perceived diss didn’t sit well with the Queen.  Hear her response inside:

As Demi Lovato continues to receive a tongue lashing at the hands of rappers and fans of 21 Savage over her comments regarding his arrest (click here to read more on that), controversial political commentator and news correspondent – Tomi Lahren – has learned the hard way that she isn’t exempt from similar responses.

Just hours after Savage was arrested in Atlanta by U.S. immigration services for overstaying his visa (as it was recently unveiled he was born in the U.K.), Lahren took to Twitter to say:

Needless to say it wasn’t long before she was on the receiving end of some fierce clap backs on the rapper’s behalf, some of which were lent by fellow emcees Cardi B and Nicki Minaj. See what they said inside:
