  • Iggy Azalea Talks Nicki Minaj Feud Rumors

    Iggy Azalea finally opened up about a purported feud between her and Nicki Minaj. The Fancy singer and rapper said she’d like to see everyone who is up in arms about it channel the film Frozen and simply ‘Let It Go.’

    Rumors about said feud erupted following a bizarre acceptance speech given by Nicki Minaj last weekend at the BET Awards. Minaj did indeed hint at some rub with the Australian rapper during her speech, saying things like when “you hear Nicki Minaj spit, Nicki Minaj wrote it,” which certainly sounded like a jab at Iggy Azalea, who is rumored to work with ghostwriters for her songs.

    “The media puts words in my mouth all the time and this is no different. I will always take a stance on women writing b/c I believe in us!” Minaj tweeted on July 2. “I’ve congratulated Iggy on the success of ‘Fancy,’ publicly. She should be very proud of that. All the women nominated should b proud. … That will never change my desire to motivate women to write. Our voices have to be heard. I hope I inspire up & coming females to do that.”

    Iggy Azalea stayed relatively mum on the subject until a few days ago, when she posted the following on her Instagram page. It was captioned, “This is my mind state about everything & the only time I’m ever going to refer to this again so go nuts guys, Enjoy it. Ps. If you squint exxxtra hard you can see tiny elves having illuminati meetings between the lines in my notes app too.”

    It seems like Iggy Azalea is ready to quell the rumors about her and Nicki Minaj being involved in some sort of ridiculous feud. Will Nicki Minaj learn to keep quiet and simply “Let It Go?”

  • Nicki Minaj Wins Best Female Hip-Hop Artist, Shares Her Near Death Experience

    Nicki Minaj donned a refreshing look at the recently concluded 2014 BET Awards held on June 29. The singer wore her curly hair down and her makeup was toned-down – far from her usual look.

    She opened her performance by entering the stage on a bike. She disappeared for a while and emerged from a giant mushroom singing “Pills N Potions.” The set seemed to be inspired by Alice in Wonderland complete with rabbits, twigs, mushrooms, and fog adding to the dreamy effect.

    It was a big night for Minaj who won the best female hip-hop artist for the fifth consecutive time. During her speech, she thanked Lil Wayne for giving her support. She also talked about writing her own lyrics and getting the recognition she deserves from the music industry.

    Her speech also turned serious when she talked about her near death experience.

    “The other day, literally I didn’t tell anybody this, I really thought I was about to die. Like, I was saying my prayers to die. And I didn’t even want to call the ambulance because I thought, ‘Well if I call the ambulance, it’s going to be on TMZ,’” she said.

    She continued, “And I would rather sit there and die. And it made me realize I don’t care what anybody got to say. I’m going to do me.”

    Other winners at the awards ceremony included Pharrell Williams for best male R&B artist/pop artist, Beyonce for best female R&B/pop singer, Lupita Nyong’o and Chiwetel Ejiofor for acting, Drake for best male hip-hop artist, and Young Money as the best group. Lionel Richie was also given a lifetime achievement award for his musical contributions.

    The ceremony took away the attention from the reports of a stabbing and shooting at separate parties celebrating the awards ceremony. According to news reports, five people were injured and one was killed.
