For this generation of Urban music lovers, PARTYNEXTDOOR and Lil Uzi Vert are undoubtedly go-to fixtures.  What’s more, 2020 has easily been a standout year for both.

While the former earned his highest Hot 100 placement yet with the tune ‘Believe It (featuring Rihanna)‘ as well as his best first-week sales to date with its parent album, ‘PARTYMOBILE,’  the latter’s ‘Eternal Atake’ skyrocketed to the Billboard 200’s summit with not only his personal best but some of the 2020’s biggest first week figures (click here to read more).

To their respective horrors, however, those personal career triumphs were not enough to get them inducted into this year’s class of BET Awards nominees as revealed Monday (June 15).

It’s pretty safe to say they didn’t take the news lightly.

Tekashi 6ix9ine continues to serve as one of Hip-Hop’s most polarizing figures.

Because, while he commands a large legion of fans, he’s receiving little support from his contemporaries. Many of whom have slammed him for being a “rat” informant. A label linked to his much publisized legal woes.

Never one to hold his tongue, 6ix9ine seized the moment during an Instagram Live promoting new single ‘TROLLZ (ft. Nicki Minaj)’ to address his detractors.

In a fiery rant, he unleashed on Future – who he accuses of being inauthentic and not taking care of his children. He also had choice words for Meek Mill – stressing that both rappers rely on Drake for hits. Ouch.

A year after Cardi B slammed political commentator and television personality, Tomi Lahren,’ and threatened to “dog walk” her for her controversial views on 21 Savage‘s U.S. citizenship status (click here to read), the two are at war again – this time over insensitive remarks Lahren made regarding the Minneapolis riots stemming from the death of George Floyd (click here to read).

The police officers responsible for the man’s death are still free and uncharged and, as a result, citizens have taken to the streets via protests and riots to demand justice.

Taking to Twitter Thursday (May 28), Lahren reprimanded the ‘Twin City’ residents for their handling of the subject matter and condemned them for reports of looting.  Her comments landed on the desk of Cardi, who rebutted with fiery remarks of her own.

After Lana Del Rey called out Beyoncé, Ariana Grande, Nicki Minaj, Kehlani Doja Cat, and more for ‘wearing no clothes’ and ‘singing about f*cking’ in an open letter to address double standards she faces, she managed to piss off almost every major stan base in music simultaneously (click here to read more).

Needless to say, she endured a merciless dragging as a result – namely from the fan bases of Minaj (#Barbz) and Bey (#Beyhive) who asserted Del Rey’s comments were race-driven due to the dearth of White Pop divas listed in her rant.

As the hoopla continued to dominate headlines, the ‘Born to Die’ diva is looking to dead it by slamming accusations of racism.

Doja Cat and Nicki Minaj‘s reboot of the former’s smash hit single ‘Say So’ is expected to rock a number of charts in the coming days thanks to sales and streams delivered by their enthusiastic fan bases.

Also set to soar? Megan Thee Stallion’s Beyoncé-backed ‘Savage’ remix. Now, days after a rumour claiming she and the ‘Story of Beauty’ singer used their lyrics in both tracks to slam the other’s appearance, Minaj has put an end to the nonsense.

It’s here!

Nicki Minaj has been on a hiatus of sorts, but that ended moments ago when the quelled the musical drought by pouring out new song ‘Yikes.’

The fiery cut finds the femcee in fine form.

Released a little later than planned, the track is the first solo offering from the leader of the Barbz since last year’s ‘Megatron’ (which peaked at #20 on the Hot 100).

It also comes in the wake of Onika’s public spat with ex Meek Mill.

The introduction of streams to the album sales calculation mix in 2014 made Nicki Minaj one of the last contemporary musicians to see the majority of her records and achievements generated by pure sales.

This, shielding her hard-earned chart records from threats launched at her  by those of her stream-dependant rivals.

Now find out how these numbers have helped Minaj extend her lead as the highest-selling female rapper of all time, and one of the fastest-selling artists to debut within the last decade.

Yung Miami has had enough!

Hours after news broke that her City Girls groupmate, JT, was heard on leaked audio dissing their ‘Twerk’ co-star, Cardi B (as we first reported here), the 25-year-old broke her silence about the hoopla.

Initial response to the audio saw the fan bases of Cardi and Nicki Minaj – usually battling each other on social media – join forces to slam both the Girls on their respective social media handles.  The heat led Miami to lift a video in defense of the group to clarify any misconceptions from the faulty audio.  As if that wasn’t enough, she also “fired shots” at the press and named dropped outlets who she claims have been nothing but unsupportive of her meteoric rise to fame.

Rapstress Azealia Banks has long let her disdain for Cardi B be known.

Not only did she call the ‘Bodak Yellow’ hitmaker an ‘illiterate rat’ in 2017 (click here to read), she followed up in 2018 to label the Grammy winner ‘a poor man’s Nicki Minaj.‘ Ouch!  But, if yesterday’s lengthy slam on Instagram is any proof, she’s not done yet.

When fans of the ‘Ice Princess’ brought word to her that Cardi was recently spotted rocking the vintage, figure-hugging Jean Paul Gaultier dress (seen in the picture above), Azealia immediately lifted a video to social media showing her donning a similar ensemble.

The video – accompanied by claims Cardi had stolen the concept from her – also saw Banks hurl a slew of insults in the direction of the Trap Selena.  See it all inside:

Nicki Minaj has been one of the the hottest topics in music this week thanks to a series of reports of clashes with fellow Hip Hop Heavyweights.

While Trina confirmed those reports were unsubstantiated (click here to watch) and Minaj later made up with Joe Budden after their epic showdown (click here to listen), Rick Ross has finally coming forward to respond to a diss from his ‘You the Boss’ co-star.

As we previously reported (click here to read), the self-proclaimed Rap Queen was none-too-pleased about a perceived diss from the Bawse’s 2017 song, ‘Apple of My Eye,’ where he asserted her ex – rapper Meek Mill – should never have trusted her given her relationship with his then-nemesis, Drake.  When asked her thoughts on this, Minaj said Ross should ‘sit his fat ass down.’

Taking to the ‘Breakfast Club’ this morning, Ricky Rozay weighed in on the diss:
