Hey everyone, welcome back to the blog! First up, let’s talk about Nicki Minaj and Big Sean. Their song “Dance S” has just gone over five times platinum in the U.S. Big Sean recently shared his excitement, saying, “When I checked in with the label, they told me the original version was five times platinum on its own, and the Nicki Minaj version has exceeded that. She really took the song to a whole new level. I’m forever grateful to her.” I’d love to know what you think about this—drop your thoughts in the comments below. It’s great to see Big Sean giving Nicki Minaj the credit she deserves. It’s not every day you see artists openly appreciating each other like this, but Nicki Minaj is known for giving props to her peers, whether it’s Lil Wayne, Drake, or anyone else. It’s cool to see Big Sean doing the same. Let me know your thoughts in the comments—I’m excited to hear from you!
So, here’s the scoop on the rappers with the most hits on the Billboard Hot 100: Nicki Minaj is at number five, Kanye West is at number four, Lil Wayne is at number three, Future is at number two, and Drake is at number one. Big props to Nicki Minaj for being the only female rapper on this list and for having the most charting songs. She’s definitely paved the way for other women in rap. And a shoutout to Young Money—Drake, Lil Wayne, and Nicki are all on this list, so hats off to the Young Money crew!
Now, onto some juicy news that’s been buzzing all over Twitter and social media: Kanye West might be featuring Nicki Minaj on his new track “Body,” which drops tonight. How do you feel about this? I’m trying to stay calm until the album actually drops and we get confirmation. But I’m excited because I’m a fan of the “Body” song. It’d be great if Nicki had a new verse, especially since we’ve all heard her old one from a few years ago. She even asked Kanye for the track back then, but he didn’t give it to her. If she’s back with a new verse, it could be really cool. Do you think Nicki’s forgiven Kanye and agreed to be on the new version? Let me know what you think! Kanye even said he wouldn’t drop the album without Nicki’s verse, so this could be pretty interesting.
Nicki Minaj recently tweeted, “Stop beating up on yourself. Handle it gently,” which got a lot of people talking. This came just about an hour after the news broke that Cardi B filed for divorce from Offset. Some folks are speculating that Nicki’s tweet was aimed at Cardi B, suggesting she might be offering some indirect advice.
Personally, I think this is just Nicki being Nicki. She often shares motivational messages, and this doesn’t necessarily mean it’s directed at Cardi B. It’s easy to over-interpret these things, so I wouldn’t read too much into it.
On a related note, there was a blind item from a month ago saying Cardi B and Atlantic Records were planning a PR stunt for the first week of August. Now, with Cardi B announcing her pregnancy and her divorce around this time, it’s making some wonder if it was all part of the plan.
What do you think? Was Nicki’s tweet meant for Cardi B, or was it just another of her usual messages? And do you believe Cardi B’s announcements were timed for PR purposes? Share your thoughts!
I never doubted that blind item for a second. I knew Cardi B would come up with something, but now it seems like Cardi B, Offset, Atlantic Records, and her team are all in on this PR stunt. First off, congrats on the baby, Cardi. But why does she always seem to need a scandal to drop new music? It’s a recurring pattern: every time she’s about to release something, there’s some major drama with Offset. Can’t she just drop music without all the surrounding chaos? It feels like Cardi B is really into these PR stunts. I’m not sure if Offset’s alleged cheating has anything to do with stopping him from cheating, but this latest scandal seems like it’s being used to promote something new, maybe an album. I’m not buying the whole story. If you believe it, let me know. And if you think it’s just another stunt, I’d love to hear your thoughts.
So, Beyoncé’s Renaissance has hit 3 billion streams on Spotify, and it’s now her third album to do so—big congratulations to her! Personally, I think Renaissance was way stronger than the Cowboy Carter album. I’m excited to see what she does next, though I’m a bit unsure if it’ll hit the same heights. It would have been amazing if she’d dropped music videos for more tracks from Renaissance. Overall, she really nailed it with this era. What do you think? Let me know in the comments!
So, Drake’s producer, Boy Wonder, tweeted something like, “Twerking at the presidential rally is insane.” Since Drake and Megan Thee Stallion are on good terms, some fans think this tweet might be a jab at Megan. Honestly, though, I don’t think it was meant to be shady. He was just sharing his opinion, and a lot of people felt the same way: Megan twerking at a presidential rally just seemed out of place.
But it’s Megan Thee Stallion—what did we expect? On another note, Megan mentioned she’s done filming the music video for her new song “Mamas,” which should be out soon. Are you excited for it? Will you be supporting the video, or do you think it’s not worth the buzz? Personally, I’m not too invested in it. I don’t really get why the song is trending. No shade, but it just doesn’t do it for me.
So, checking out the top female rappers on Spotify right now: Doja Cat is absolutely killing it at number one. Nicki Minaj is at number two, Cardi B is third, Ice Spice has climbed to number four, and Megan Thee Stallion is now at number five. It’s wild to see Ice Spice move ahead of Megan Thee Stallion! Megan’s dropped to fifth, while Lotto is at six, Koi is seven, and Lisa is at nine.
Doja Cat’s numbers are really impressive, and it’s clear she’s got a strong Spotify deal and presence boosting her stats. Nicki Minaj has also had a fantastic rise this year, and it’s great to see her back at the top. Hopefully, she drops a new single soon to keep her momentum going. Big congratulations to Doja Cat for her standout success!
So, Lotto’s been working with Sexy Red and FL lately, and there’s buzz that they might be on her new album. Some fans think these collabs could be a big deal, but honestly, I’m not sure if they’ll make a huge difference. Sexy Red and FL might not change the game for Lotto, so I’m curious if these features will actually boost her album’s success. What do you think about all these collaborations?
On a different note, there’s this post claiming Doja Cat is the only rapper without a criminal record. Honestly, I’m not sure why this is newsworthy. It seems like a bit of a stretch just to get attention on social media. It feels like some posts are just trying too hard to stay relevant.
