YIKES: Nicki Minaj Cancels Another Show On Her European Tour—Big Mad Barbz Chant ‘Cardi B’

Source: Dutch Press Photo/WENN.com / WENN Nicki Minaj Explains Why She Had To Cancel Another Show, Gets Taunted By Fans A lot of fans are disappointed after another one Nicki Minaj’s European concerts was canceled only a couple hours before showtime. Now, the rapper is explaining why her hands were tied in canceling two shows on her Nicki Wrld Tour . Minaj posted a video to her Instagram on Sunday morning (March 10) after canceling her Bordeaux, France show at Arkea Arena the night before. This comes just a few weeks after the star canceled her Bratislava, Slovakia show at Ondrej Nepela Arena on February 22. “You guys, it’s not in my best interest not to perform and lose money and aggravate my fans. I love performing for my fans,” she explained following the announcement. “I’m more excited than you are before the show. These two cities that had technical issues were cities I’d never been to before. We tried to add them, but they just didn’t have the power in the building to facilitate my show and they didn’t tell us that until three hours before the show as opposed to once we did sound check, they said that it was fine,” she continued. “But anyway. Every artist,  every artist, has technical difficulties and has to cancel shows. I want to tell you guys that I love you dearly and I really hope to make it up very soon.” View this post on Instagram A post shared by Barbie® (@nickiminaj) on Mar 9, 2019 at 4:13pm PST The rapper also took to Twitter to give us some thoughts on the current situation, calling out people who are skeptical of any actual “technical issues” who think Nicki’s cancellations might be for different reasons. She insists that her and her tour mate Juice WRLD are just as excited for the show as the fans are and it’s not in her best interest to lose money. Why would an artist cancel a show & lose money? What for? When they’re already in the building, dressed, etc. The artist is just as mad as the fans when a show can’t go on. I love seeing my fans. Nothing can stop me. B4 the show, juice WRLD & I are just as excited as u guys are. — QUEEN (@NICKIMINAJ) March 9, 2019 Meanwhile, footage has surfaced of angry fans leaving out the arena and retaliatorily chanting “Cardi B.” Nicki Minaj’s fans at her recent show chant “Cardi B” and boo her as the show gets cancelled due to technical difficulties. pic.twitter.com/aJO04rv5sS — Pop Data (@ThePopData) March 9, 2019 Nicki Minaj is touring in Europe through the end of March.

They Went There: ‘SNL’ Accurately Spoofs R. Kelly’s Hysterical Gayle King Interview [Video]

SNL Spoofs R.Kelly Interview Many parodies of R. Kelly ‘s emotional interview with Gayle King have been made already, but SNL’s spoof was certainly one worth watching. Kenan Thompson took on the role of Kelly while Leslie Jones hilariously played Gayle in the show’s opening skit and they didn’t miss a beat. But that wasn’t the end of the R. Kelly talk on Saturday’s show. SNL cast member Pete Davidson gave his two cents on the pied piper’s recent antics saying “If you support the Catholic Church, isn’t that like the same thing as being a R. Kelly fan? I don’t really see a difference, only, like, one’s music is significantly better. Look, I’m not saying it’s an easy decision, I’m just saying, you don’t know how good someone’s music is until you find out they’re a pedophile. “And the reason everyone’s so upset is because R. Kelly and Michael Jackson made great music. If I found out Macklemore did some weird stuff, I’d be happy to free up the space on my iPhone.” LOL. Check out the full skit above.

Is It Possible To ‘Separate The Art From The Artist?’ Critics Chime In…

Read this article:

Source: John Gunion / Getty The internet was in shambles back in January after Surviving R. Kelly aired. The famed singer has faced sexual misconduct accusations for more than two decades, but it was Lifetime’s 6-part doc that finally put the nail in his pied piper coffin—or so we pray. As several women came forward in the documentary to describe how they were controlled and abused by Kelly , fans and critics of the accused pedophile began arguing online about whether or not the world really needed to #MuteRKelly. Obviously, the answer is YES…but unreasonable stans argued they could “separate the art from the artist” …that the man has nothing to do with the music. How? Supporting the art literally puts money in the artist’s pocket. Not to mention, R. Kelly alluded to his abuse of young Black girls all throughout the music he wrote from himself and others. Now music lovers are having the same “art vs. artist” argument after watching Leaving Neverland , the agonizing documentary about the alleged abuse two boys faced at the hands of the late Michael Jackson . Should we mute MJ? Stevie Wonder doesn’t seem to think so… “He’s died, he’s dead. Hopefully, we can continue the legacy of inspiration he has given a lot of kids and a lot of people,” he told TMZ . Hit the flip to see what folks have had to say on the topic.

Email Submit Just after the release of ‘When I Get Home’ Solange broadcasted a multimedia presentation all over Houston on her BlackPlanet.com page explaining that the project is a nod to her Texas roots and pride in her blackness. Days later Solange released the visual for ‘Almeda’ putting the black people and black pride of Houston on display through the visual. Although many times Solange has symbolism that we don’t understand ‘Almeda’ has a few obvious parallels to her life.  The title alone is an area of town where Solange spent a lot of time and the Almeda Mall was a landmark she has referenced on social media.  In the visual, you will notice a lot of the women wearing hairstyles that were popular in the 90’s.  We assume this is a nod to her mother that ran a popular hair salon in the area for many years.  The fashion in the visual also has touches of southern style with cowboy boots, hats and bolo ties.  From throwback 90’s hairstyles, throwback cell phones to black cowboys, ‘Almeda’ embodies how Houston impacted Solange’s creativity as a black woman. ‘Almeda’ features Playboi Cardi and The Dream on the track produced by Pharrell and John Carroll Kirby. The full-length visual for ‘When I Get Home’ can be seen on Apple Music and was filmed across various locations of Houston’s Third Ward.

R. Kelly Says He Can’t Pay Child Support, Has Zero Relationship With His Children [VIDEO]

Source: CBS News screenshot / CBS News screenshot R. Kelly may be back in jail but in his sit-down with  Gayle King , the embattled singer explains why he is broke. “That’s one rumor that was true,” Kelly told King. “Here’s the deal. So many people have been stealing my money. People who were connected to my account. I went by myself for the first to Bank Of America, didn’t know what the hell was going on, didn’t know what to do.” Kelly’s first visit to Bank of America by himself was three weeks ago according to the singer. He says “its on me” in regards to him not knowing his financial status. “I had $350,000 in the bank and I told [the bank teller], ‘take the money and I wanna start a new account.’ She says it was going to take 6 to 7 business days in order to clear. Does that make sense?” Kelly was unable to make bail when he was originally arrested towards the end of February on 10 counts of aggravated sexual abuse. “How can I pay child support? How?!” the singer exclaimed while in tears. “My ex-wife is destroying my name! And I can’t work! How can I work? How can I get paid? How can I take care of my kids?! How?! Use your common sense!” He denied abusing his ex-wife, Andrea Kelly , calling the allegations lies and recapped the day that he proposed to her after flying in a helicopter with a teddy bear. In  Surviving R. Kelly , Andrea Kelly detailed the alleged abuse she suffered at the hands of her husband. “My kids is listening to this … all this nonsense and I haven’t even able to spend time with them! What kind of woman would tear down a dad who is trying to have a relationship with their kids?” When asked about the relationship with his kids, Kelly responded that he had zero relationship with them. “But I love my kids,” Kelly said.

Three Phrases Happy Couples Use All The Time

Source: Sam Bloomberg-Rissman / Getty Via Madamenoire : An old Cher song goes “If you want to know, if he loves you so, it’s in his kiss,” but according to experts, it could be in his words. Social scientists have studied the ways partnered folk speak to each other and how happy long-term connections tend to have a different language than relationship newbies.

So it’s no surprise that the more you laugh with your person, the better. “Couples who laugh together have usually the best relationships because they can mutually enjoy each other’s jokes, and similar interests,” Mackenzie Riel, relationship expert with TooTimid, told Bustle. 2. “You’re The Best” As with any relationship, affirming partnerships tend to outpace connections where couples are super critical of one another. “They were each other’s biggest fan, communicating excitement over the little and big things,” Anne Nelson, CAPP, ACC, positive psychology practitioner and coach, told Bustle of happy couples. “Essentially, kindness served as the glue that held the marriages together.” 3.”Thank you.” As the phrase goes, “gratitude is the best attitude.” And yes it’s corny being spoken, but in practice, it’s a beautiful thing. “Happier couples express gratitude and thank one another even for the seemingly small day to day things,” Rachel Ann Dine, licensed professional counselor, told Bustle.
