Nicki Minaj’s New Boo Shows Off “Onika” Neck Tattoo Nicki Minaj took to Instagram Friday to show off just how much her new bae really loves her. In a video that shows Minaj next to Kenneth Petty, she zooms in on a fresh tattoo that says Nicki’s government name, “Onika”, in red and black ink. “Did your tat hurt,” Nicki asks in the video. “Naw, not at all,” he responds. It was the first time Petty got a tat. Nicki has been criticized by her Barbz for being so lovey-dovey with Petty, who has a long rap sheet . Petty was reportedly convicted on manslaughter and first-degree attempted rape charges and spent multiple years in jail. Petty isn’t the first man to show his love through ink. Safaree Samuels, who was in an almost decade-long relationship with Nicki, previously had a tattoo of the rapper. He eventually covered it up after the two broke up a few years ago.

Then, hit the next pages to peep their winning counterparts! Losers Offset *Sigh* On Saturday, Offset thought he was in a romantic Disney movie when he decided to completely interrupt Cardi B ‘s Rolling Out Festival performance . The Migos member tried it when he bum-rushed the stage with “Take Me Back” signs, then he tried to swoon Cardi B by gazing into the deep pits of her eyes with an apology. Booooooo! Cardi was not having it. Offset immediately got backlash for his public display of affection, to which Cardi told her fans to go easy on him. But honestly, it’s hard to have sympathy for someone who’s allegedly a cheating a$$ knee-grow. Yes, we don’t know the ins and outs of their relationship, but that’s exactly why Offset should just lay low and work out their issues privately. Making a big, so-called romantic gesture most likely glosses over all the mess that went down and further portrays Offset as superficial. Offset even tried to win Cardi back with an Instagram video apologizing. “I’m trying to be a better person,” he said in the video. Well take time for yourself to become a better person, then Cardi might take you back! Until then, she’s got shows to book and money to make!

Source: Theo Wargo Getty Images / Getty Shade files… Summer Bunni Takes Back Cardi B Apology, Says Cardi’s Trying To Block Her Interview The woman embroiled in the Cardi B/Offset breakup is shadily taking back an apology. As previously reported Insta-model Summer Bunni gave an emotional apology to Cardi after her text messages with Offset linked showing that he wanted a threesome with her and rapper Cuban Doll . According to Summer who admitted to sleeping with the Migos rapper, she didn’t know how serious his marriage to Cardi was and she deeply regretted her actions. Now Summer’s singing a different tune and completely taking back her apology. Summer was a guest this week on Power 106 L.A.’s “The Cruz Show” and instead of continuing on her apology tour, she completely retracted her kindness to Cardi. “I just want to set the record straight about the apology video,” said Summer. “At this time, I really just take the apology back. It sucks…It’s not fair to me. I just feel like the whole world is against me. I’m so strong. I’m so sorry I’m breaking down.” Now, sisssssssssssss. Not only that, Summer’s adamant that Cardi herself is blocking the rest of the interview from coming out because she’s scared of the “truth.” Summer addressed the alleged block from Cardi on her IG story. “People making phone calls, ‘Don’t let it drop! If you let it drop, I’mma drop you!” Bunni claims someone said behind the scenes. “B*** it’s hella tea in the interview and that’s why it’s not out yet. Making b***s hella pressed, pressed.” Some women have no shame. After Summer took back her apology, fans think that Cardi sent some not so subtle shade Summer’s way—and Summer clapped back!

Source: SOPA Images / Getty Ohio Police Arrest And Beat Black Man For Laughing Police officers are not to be trusted and we literally have thousands of reasons why. Today, we add yet another reason to that list. According to WKYC , an Ohio man was arrested and beaten by police officers for laughing and mocking them. Robert Spencer was in his front yard with some children from the neighborhood when police rolled past. Let them tell it, Spencer made threats and insulted them when they got out of their car to confront him. The lawsuit claims that the officers confirmed their motivation on videotape: to punish Spencer’s speech. “All you had to do was shut the %#$ up,” one officer said. “We weren’t even going to arrest you.” They told Spencer that “saying stuff to us when we drive by” justified investigation, arrest, detention, beatings, and prosecution—all of which he could have avoided by “keep[ing] his mouth shut when we came out.” After filing lawsuit against the department, a settlement was reached that required police to pay Spencer $80,000 in addition to mandating “adequate training to all active-duty police officers” in regards to the first amendment and civil rights. Pay us like you owe us for all the years that you hoed us.
