Despite everything going on with Jacquees , Ella Mai and the whole song stealing debacle— Jacquees has kept his mouth shut about everything — until now. After rumors swirled and fans joked about Ella blocking the Cash Money crooner on Instagram , he took to IG live to address his side of things. “I’m just remixing it because I like it. I been doing this shit forever. And it’s all love It ain’t no ‘I’m tryna be better than you’ or none of that sh*t. I do this sh*t. And people gon’ say what they wanna say. So it’s like, that’s just what it is.” At least we know there’s no hard feelings between the two budding stars. Unless Ella really has him blocked on social media — then you know it’s real.

Nicki Minaj has made several enemies out of female rappers, and no one’s holding their tongue (or shoe) these days. Tiffany Foxx sat down with Ts Madison on The Queen’s Supreme Court and revealed her own personal story of the time Nicki allegedly stopped her from being nominated for an award and walking the red carpet. She said, “She doesn’t want to look like she’s hating, or being emotional or pressed, so she does just enough so it’ll make it like she supports somebody. Don’t be bitter and don’t be hating on other girls. I’m not saying this just because the masses is saying this. Nicki has definitely interrupted me being on red carpets. Times I’m suppose to be nominated — out of no where, it’s a problem. And it gets back to me that it’s affiliated with her.” Back in 2013 when Foxx aligned herself with Lil Kim in the midst of Kim’s beef with Nicki, Tiffany made it clear that she had nothing against Minaj and even praised her for being talented. My, oh my how things change.

David M. Russell | Disney/ABC Home Entertainment and TV Distribution Queen Latifah Talks Cardi B And Nicki Minaj Beef You saw the news: Nicki Minaj and Cardi B ‘s issues with each other finally boiled over during New York Fashion Week and it wasn’t pretty. Cardi B was spotted screaming “Come here, bi**h!” over and over again at a Harper’s Bazaar event, as she tried to put hands on Nicki Minaj, who was embarrassed by the whole ordeal and wanted to remain smoke-free . Cardi took to Instagram to explain her problem with her “Barbie Dreams” foe, writing in part : “I’ve let a lot of sh** slide! I let you sneak diss me, I let you lie on me, I let you attempt to stop my bags, fu** up the way I eat! You’ve [threatened] other artists in the industry, told them if they work with me you’ll stop fu**in with them!! I addressed you once in person, I addressed you a second time in person, and every time you copped the plea!! But when you mention my child, you choose to like comments about me as a mother, make comments about my abilities to take care of my daughter is when all bets are fu**in off!!” Nicki Minaj denied her accusations during an episode of Queen Radio, accusing Cardi B of building her career off “sympathy and payola.” Now, rap legend Queen Latifah is chiming in. While sitting down with the hosts of Live with Kelly and Ryan , she shared her thoughts on how the ladies can settle this. David M. Russell | Disney/ABC Home Entertainment and TV Distribution “I have a lot of respect for female rappers. We are such a powerful minority and I say ‘powerful’ in the sense that if you hear one female rapper’s record come through on the radio, you hear that record, you know that record, you memorize that record. We just stand out. So, these two ladies have had huge success and I definitely don’t want to see them come to blows. I’d really rather see them shoot the fair one on a record and take everybody out,” she told the crowd . Watch Queen speak on it in the clip above.

In case you haven’t been tuned into this white-on-white hip-hop beef , it started when Em came for MGK on his Kamikaze song “No Alike.” MGK responded with “Rap Devil,” accusing the legend of blackballing him and more. He also said Em must be “sober and bored.” Listen to Eminem’s response below. “Younger me? No, you’re the whack me/It’s funny, but so true/I’d rather be 80 year old me than 20 year old you,” he raps in an attempt to make MGK’s career sound pathetic. He also mentioned giving hickies to Rihanna and refers to Iggy Azalea as “that Iggy ho.” Diss songs shouldn’t be filled with celebrity name drops to pad out lazy bars. — IGGY AZALEA (@IGGYAZALEA) September 14, 2018 Who do you think will win this one?

According to TMZ , Frank wants his vocals removed from the Astroworld cut “Carousel” post f**king haste. It is said that Mr. Nostalgia Ultra is upset because his verse or vocals were somehow altered from what he originally recorded. There’s quite a bit of autotune used on his voice and pitch changes happen throughout his part. In any event, he ain’t feelin’ it. Frank is so angry over it he reportedly had his lawyers send Travis a threatening cease & desist order to have him taken off the track, but no dice. Travis is said to have no plans on removing Francis from “Carousel”. He likes it just the way it is and that’s that on that.
