Nicki’s Barbs versus Bardi Gang: Motorsport Receipts

Published
5 years agoon
There’s a trail of failed mainstream rap careers and they all end with some level of disrespect that tarnished an up-and-comer’s reputation, resulting in an industry blackball. That could have easily been Cardi if Nicki was really *that* girl. Everyone thought Nicki was bluffing when she spoke out about being forced to rewrite her verse for Motorsport, but it has now been proven to be true.
The importance of being earnest in the entertainment industry is imperative for newcomers, especially for someone whose career has skyrocketed as quickly as Cardi B’s. While many gather to celebrate her success, there are some who believe that she has not given credit where it is due, something many once believed Nicki was notorious for. In an almost karmic twist, now it is Nicki who has been snubbed in favor of a new flavor, adding prudence to the proverb “The same people you see going up, you’ll see coming down.”
Feeling Attacked
Allegations of jealousy and relationship tension surrounding the collaboration and release of Motorsport in October 2017 have resurfaced, but now with receipts. Just as Nicki Minaj has returned from her social media hiatus with two new singles on #NickiDay, Cardi B’s phone has suffered a data breach and screenshots of texts between Offset and Cardi have corroborated Nicki’s claim that it was Cardi that forced her to change her verse. Knowing there isn’t a complete sentence between the two of them, those text messages were a messy read! Here’s a play by play of what was *allegedly* said between Cardi and Offset. In light of recent social media account deletions, I will not be posting screenshots. However, you can view them on Twitter and Insta.
He Said, She Said
Stating not so eloquently that she felt targeted by Nicki’s original lyrics, Cardi confided in her now fiancé that she spoke with her label, Atlantic, and they convinced her The Migos set her up for failure by adding Nicki to the track, setting her up to be the weaker female lyrically on the song. She didn’t understand why the verse was not immediately sent back for a rewrite, implying Offset thought there was no offense. Cardi was offended enough to ask for a rewrite but her management didn’t fully see eye to eye on the matter. They probably insisted she was taking things too personally.
To be perfectly honest, this entire situation wreaks of insecurity and is a whole hot mess, but I digress. Cardi went on to say her management understood she felt disrespected but complimented how well her verse was performed. Unamused, Cardi felt no one would care how good she sounded if she was being insulted on the track and hinted this was the type of instance that could end relationships. It was unclear if she was referring to Offset or her label. She even went so far as to say she didn’t want anyone to think her man was a traitor. Fearing she would really leave him over the issue, Offset asked Cardi to go back to her label and demand they “make that hoe take your name out of her mouth and clean that bitch up or it’s a dub”. Cardi expected financial restitution for the offense as well as a rewrite. I’m not sure if they cut an additional check, but we all know Nicki did end up changing her verse.
Do you all think it was fair of Cardi to demand Nicki rewrite her verse now that the original cut has made its way to YouTube?

Social media star Rolling Ray underwent surgery Tuesday morning to treat serious burns on his body after his terrible wig accident last week.
In a series of IG stories, he let his audience follow along as he prepped for surgery.
Last week Rolling Ray announced he was hospitalized after his wig caught on fire! During a January 13 Instagram Live session hosted straight from his hospital bedside, he showed his severely burnt and damaged face telling viewers his “whole skin, legs, arms, feet, and everything” were burned.
Prayers for Rolling Ray 🙏🏿 pic.twitter.com/d6PwlLbrlI

In a more recent Live, Ray explained the incident that led to his whole wig catching on fire: an unfortunate smoking accident. “It just, like, lit on fire when I tried to light the cigarette,” he recounted. “So I get to trying to snatch the wig off. B***h, the fire goes to my f*****g shirt, to my feet, to my legs, to my back. It’s a fire everywhere, it’s a fire in the whole room.”

Of course the internet trolled him in a disgusting display of ableism and heartlessness. Comments like “Rolling Ray should have stopped, dropped, and rolled” and “karma’s a b***h” had social media conflicted in its feelings about his accident. His sensation comes from his harsh and, often, below-the-belt reads (just last month he told Yung Miami to “dig (sic) up” her dead baby father. However, the criticism didn’t stop him from responding on Twitter.
I miss y’all 🥺! See y’all soon, if this what Karma feels like she should’ve came harder because I’m alive while others still dead. God loves me 😍! Imma bounce back

Rolling Ray might be problematic as all get-out, but we do not tolerate ableism here. We wish him well as he heals.

Kim Kardashian and Kanye West Are Getting Divorced, Report Says
Published

January 6, 2021
In a story published Tuesday evening, Page Six is reporting that Kim Kardashian and Kanye West are getting divorced, with the two already in settlement talks. The news comes after the couple spent the holiday season separately – Kanye at his ranch outside Cody, Wyoming, Kim and the kids with her famous family in southern California.
A source close to Kardashian was quoted saying, “Kim got Kanye to go up there so they could live separate lives and quietly get things sorted out to separate and divorce. She’s done.” Kardashian, 40, and West, 43, are said to be splitting because of marital problems directly related to Kanye’s very public mental health struggles.

For several years the rapper’s various antics have caused fans to worry. After coming out as a Trump supporter, West then announced his own 2020 presidential bid under a new political party: the Birthday Party. At a campaign rally in South Carolina, he was seen rambling, debating individual audience members, and at times, crying. In various interviews, he has rambled on almost incoherently, and his tweetstorms are now infamous.
For her part, Kim has always supported her husband and has openly discussed the difficulties of their marriage. Back in June, she shared on social media, “Anyone who has [bipolar disorder] or has a loved one in their life who does, knows how incredibly complicated and painful it is to understand… People who are unaware or far removed from this experience can be judgmental and not understand that the individual (has) to engage in the process of getting help no matter how hard family and friends try.”

It appears she has finally reached her limit in the union with the unnamed source saying, “She is serious about taking the bar exam and becoming a lawyer, she is serious about her prison reform campaign. Meanwhile Kanye is talking about running for president and saying other crazy s**t, and she’s just had enough of it.”
Separately, a source close to Kanye alleges the rapper is sick of his wife and her family, which might have some truth to it since he has tweeted some pretty nasty things about them in the past. “I been trying to get divorced since Kim met with Meek at the Warldolf [sic] for ‘prison reform,’” he said in a now-deleted July tweet. Recently, he hasn’t been featured on his wife’s Instagram and has largely remained out of the public eye.

With the news yet to be confirmed, the “divorce is imminent” reports are just rumors for now. We’ll be following the news as more information comes out.
