‘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:

The world is weighing-in on the drama between Nicki Minaj and Cardi B – including fellow femcee Stefflon Don.

The fiery drama between Nicki Minaj and Cardi B shows no sign of quelling.

Yesterday saw Cardi’s sister Hennessy accuse Onika of inciting her fans to commit hateful acts, including leaking her personal information and threatening death on niece Kulture.

Never one to hold her tongue, Nicki took to her Queen Radio to clapback.

With Nicki Minaj‘s US tour on the back-burner until 2019, the femcee is throwing more time into plugging new album ‘Queen.’

‘Ellen’ was her latest stop and Onika made sure to make it count.

During her candid chat with the talk-show host, Minaj expanded on her gripe with Travis Scott – who she infamously claimed scammed his way to #1 (bumping her to #2) by bundling his album with merchandise.

On the drama, she said:

“I’ve had a #2  [album] and I never cared. It’s just that when you have a #2 album to someone who’s selling shirts and merch and selling passes for a tour that has not even announced yet; it feels like you’re being tricked. It feels like someone is playing a game as opposed to just selling music. I want to sell music.”

Elsewhere, she spoke about her lovers – old and new, and performed a ‘Queen’ medley comprised of  ‘Barbie Dreams,’ ‘Ganja Burn,’ and 6ix9ine collab ‘Fefe.’ 

Nicki, who’s long been an advocate for education, also spread good cheer by teaming with Ellen to help fans pay their student costs.

All the action awaits after the jump…

Last fall Azealia Banks stunned fans when she took to social media to pose a truce with one-time nemesis Nicki Minaj (who accepted the offer).  To the surprise of…well…no one, that lasted all of 8-9 months before Banks began taking shots at the Harajuku Barbie again by accusing of her plagiarism (click here to read that).

Now, the ‘Big Big Beat’ beauty is joining the multitude who are taking aim at Minaj for the song ‘Fefe,’ her recent collaboration with rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine.  The problem?  6ix9ine, currently recuperating from a widely reported beatdown (click here to read about that), is battling claims that he included a child in a number of sex acts.

After receiving a damning reprimand from ‘Forbes’ magazine (click here to read), Minaj also got quite the tongue lashing from Banks – who claims she’s now ‘deleting her Barb membership.’  Read it inside:

Death threats, public shaming, and the sharing of his personal and family’s information online are the result of a Wisconsin man’s battle with #Barbz after he labelled their leader a ‘hypocrite.’

Before the melee, the ‘Chun-Li’ creator Nicki Minaj herself came out swinging at the Twitter user who slammed  her for what he deemed a ‘hypocritical’ stance on female sexuality, a topic she brought to the forefront of her recent sitdown with ‘Elle’ magazine when she weighed in on promiscuity and prostitution.

Also acting as covergirl of the mag’s most recent edition, Minaj said:

“Maybe I was naïve, but I didn’t realize how many girls were modern-day prostitutes,” she begins. “Whether you’re a stripper, or whether you’re an Instagram girl—these girls are so beautiful and they have so much to offer. But I started finding out that you give them a couple thousand dollars, and you can have sex with them. I was like, Yikes. It’s just sad that they don’t know their worth. It makes me sad as a woman. And it makes me sad that maybe I’ve contributed to that in some way.”

The address didn’t exactly sit well with many detractors, some of whom pointed to the Grammy nominee’s sexually explicit lyrics as grounds for billing her comments as duplicitous. One such commenter, who took his thoughts directly to Minaj’s Twitter page as we mentioned aboe, may have been surprised to not only see her clap back but do so in a fiery way.  Did you miss any of the action?
