Nicki Minaj and Latto have been at loggerheads for hours on social media and the flames have intensified with fresh discourse on the topic of…rapists.

As reported, a fiery war of words ignited online between the femcees after Minaj bemoaned her song ‘Super Freaky Girl’ being shifted to the Pop category pool for GRAMMY nomination consideration – while highlighting that Latto’s ‘Big Energy’ is being allowed to remain in the Rap sphere.

More jabs have been thrown than a Mike Tyson fight, with the ladies branding each other “Scratch Off,’ “Super Freaky Grandma,” and more.

Now, “rapist” claims are being thrown – with Dr. Luke (who produced both tracks) being roped into the melee as well as Minaj’s husband Kenneth Petty and brother Jelani Maraj.

It’s notable in light of the sexual assault convictions held by Petty and Jelani and the well-documented (and ongoing) legal drama hitmaker Luke is embroiled in with Kesha.

Buzz around Chris Brown‘s latest album, the June-released ‘Breezy,’ may have come and gone, but the singer’s dedicated fans (affectionately called #TeamBreezy) are still keeping other tunes from his jam-packed discography front-and-center on social media and music charts.

Three years after the ‘Indigo’ track ‘Under the Influence’ first landed on digital outlets, the Kiddominant-produced bop began dominating Tik Tok reels – a feat that helped it fly up global and domestic Apple Music sales charts and eventually reach the top 30 of the Billboard Hot 100.

In a bid to push it even higher on the latter tally, Brown has unveiled a sneak peek at the song’s long-awaited forthcoming music video.

Look inside to see the trailer.

The social media smackdown between Nicki Minaj and Latto continues hours after its kick off Thursday night (October 13).

As we reported here, the virtual fisticuffs began when the former took to Twitter to vent about her #1 hit, the Rick James-sampling Rap song ‘Super Freaky Girl,’ being moved to Pop categories in the GRAMMYs’ initial voting process for its 2023 ceremony.

After suggesting that Latto‘s breakout hit, ‘Big Energy,’ be given the same treatment by the Recording Academy, the two engaged in a fiery exchange that led to the rising rapstress refer to Nicki as an old bully.

The 39-year-old didn’t let the ageist quip go so easily, however.  Look inside to see how she clapped back.

It’s giving…girlfight!

After Nicki Minaj revealed she felt some kinda way about her inaugural Hot 100 #1 hit, ‘Super Freaky Girl,’ being booted from Rap to Pop categories in the 2023 GRAMMYs’ initial voting process, as revealed Thursday (October 13), she also suggested Latto‘s similarly styled smash – ‘Big Energy’ – be given the same energy from the Recording Academy.

And while the slick diss wasn’t given much attention at the time of its first post, Latto came in guns blazing after Minaj – her former idol – suggested the self-proclaimed ‘Queen of Da Souf’ should’ve made more of a royal fuss when ‘Super’ was given the Pop treatment.

What ensued afterward was a Twitter smackdown between the Rap divas. See it inside.
