Missy Elliott Keeps It Classy In Response To Nicki Minaj Barbz Attacks

Black Immigrant Daily News

Nicki Minaj Barbz have been dragging Missy Elliott after the rapper asked a question they interpreted as her shady the Queen Radio rapper.

Missy Elliott had shared a tweet earlier this week on Wednesday, but it seems that the Barbz recently got wind of the tweet where Missy asked fans to define a hit versus a classic. “I have a question…Is there a difference between A Hit & A Classic record or no?” she tweeted. “And if so what is this difference?”

Coincidentally, Missy Elliott asked the question at a time when Minaj’s “Super Freaky Girl” snagged several record and historical achievements.

The song, which debuted on Billboard No. 1, also saw the greatest solo debut for a rapper in recent decades and also had the biggest global and U.S Spotify solo debut ever.

Fans appeared to think that Missy was shading Minaj, and many left acrimonious tweets directed at the “Work It” rapper.

“B**ch fall back! Don’t ever disrespect them like that! All hail to the Queen of innovation!! If it wasn’t for Missy, there will be no Nicki or Cardi B’s,” one fan wrote.

“Missy Elliott always have something to say surrounding Nicki Minaj indirectly,” one fan wrote. “I see her dirty spirit. It’s been like that for years. Give it up mama,” one person responded in the comments.

“Missy you 51, you had a great run buts it’s over, go live in your authentic truth,” another added.

Some also accused her of being messy. “Missy so miserable and messy b**ch don’t let me get started these old b**ches really mad and miserable go pay ya rent and stay in ya bum ass place these old and new school b**ches make me sick!!! Nicki can’t win from either generation of female rappers.”

Meanwhile, many also tried to shade her as they claimed that the “Get Your Freak On” rapper did not have any hits.

“A Hit is what you have YET to have. ‘Super Freaky Girl’ by Nicki Minaj is A Hit. Classics are ‘Moment 4 Life’, ‘Only’, ‘Itty Bitty Piggy’, etc. You signed by Atlantic, right Messy Missy? Tell them to buy you a hit like they did for Cardi,” one shot back at the rapper.

Missy’s post was liked twelve thousand times and received thousands of replies and quotes.

Some of her fans came to the rescue as they called out the Barbz for being insecure and attacking Missy.

“B**ch fall back! Don’t ever disrespect the like that! All hail to the Queen of innovation!! If it wasn’t for Missy there will be no Nicki or Cardi B’s,” one person told a Nicki fan.

“Missy elliott is unproblematic and never had any issue or feud with any other rapper Nicki fans are just desperate,” another pointed out as the two rappers recently reacted after she was announced to be the recipient of the MTV Vanguard award.

“Anybody saying Missy Elliot don’t have classics don’t know hip hop and not because your a fan of an artist means you know music,” another fan said.

Meanwhile, Missy later cleared the air after the commotion as she shared that she asked the question since she was having a debate with her producer.The rapper added that there was no shade behind her question,

“I love so many of yall answers,” she began. “This was a back & forth with my producer friends over music.Is there a difference between Classics & hits & he said it’s more preference. So y’all helped. A few chose 2 be hurtful but understand this came from a positive place,” she added.

England finish off South Africa for big win in 2nd test Loop Jamaica

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Jamaica News Loop News

MANCHESTER, England (AP) — England quickly cleaned up South Africa’s tail with the new ball to confirm a resounding innings win in the second test on Saturday and send the series to a decider.

England won by an innings and 85 runs inside three days as James Anderson and Ollie Robinson combined to take the last five South African wickets in just 5.1 overs of the new ball.

South Africa were bowled out for 179 in their second innings at Old Trafford, still well short of making England bat again.

The new England were back on track after an innings defeat in the series opener at Lord’s interrupted their winning start under new test captain Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum.

“Amazing to come back from last week’s disappointment at Lord’s,” Stokes said. “Gives us a lot of confidence back.”

Robinson finished with four for 43 in the second innings in his comeback test and Anderson had three for 30 and six wickets in the match at his home ground. Anderson also went to 100 test wickets against South Africa, another milestone in the remarkable career of the evergreen 40-year-old fast bowler.

He set the tone at the start of the day by knocking South Africa captain Dean Elgar’s off stump out of the ground. England’s first breakthrough came in the first 15 minutes.

England were on course to make the series 1-1 ever since they rolled the visitors out for 151 in their first innings on Thursday and then posted a formidable 415 for nine declared on Friday, with centuries by Stokes (103) and wicketkeeper Ben Foakes (113 not out).

Elgar said he had “no regrets” about choosing to bat first, a decision viewed as an error of judgment as England’s seam bowlers tore through the visiting lineup in helpful bowling conditions in Manchester.

South Africa started day three on 23 without loss and although Keegan Petersen (42) and Rassie van der Dussen (41) delayed England’s victory with an 87-run stand for the fourth wicket, that was the only resistance and the result was never really in doubt.

They kept England wicketless in the second session, with Van der Dussen batting with a broken finger that will see him miss the final test.

Stokes made another crucial intervention in the match when he removed Van der Dussen and Petersen in consecutive overs of a gutsy spell with the old ball after tea, opening the way for Anderson and Robinson to finish things off.

Anderson’s second delivery with the new ball nipped back off the seam to smash into Simon Harmer’s stumps to leave South Africa 172 for six and England raced to victory from there.

England were clinical at the end as the Proteas went from 141 for three to 179 all out, with those last five wickets falling for just seven runs.

The series decider is at the Oval in London starting on Sept. 8.

Final scores in the match are: South Africa 151 & 179, England 415-9 declared.

Arsenal rally to beat Fulham 2-1 and stay perfect Loop Jamaica

LONDON (AP) — Arsenal defender Gabriel made up for a defensive howler by scoring a late winner to secure a 2-1 victory over Fulham that maintained the Gunners’ perfect start to the English Premier League on Saturday.

Having gifted Fulham the lead in the second half, Gabriel was on hand to score from close range after a corner in the 86th minute to complete the comeback for Arsenal.

Fulham led against the run of play in the 56th when Gabriel dawdled on the ball in his own area. Fulham striker Aleksandar Mitrovic robbed the Brazilian of possession and beat goalkeeper Aaron Ramsdale with a low finish inside the far post.

Gabriel’s winning goal was a simple tap-in into an empty net after Fulham goalkeeper Bernd Leno failed to punch away the corner, the first mistake from the German after he made a handful of good saves to keep his former teammates at bay. It was Leno’s first return to Emirates Stadium since his offseason move across London.

Until then, he had been beaten only by a shot from Martin Odegaard that took a big deflection off a Fulham defender in the 64th.

Ramsdale, who beat out Leno for the starting job last season, then maintained Arsenal’s lead in the final minutes with a good save at the other end to keep substitute Nathaniel Chalobah.

Arsenal top the standings with 12 points from four games, two ahead of Manchester City and Brighton.

Manager Mikel Arteta was forced into a couple of changes as Thomas Party and Oleksandr Zinchenko were out injured, and Arsenal lacked some of their fluidity in midfield without the duo.

Arsenal still dominated possession but struggled to create quality chances.

Leno’s best save came in the first half, when Bukayo Saka raced clear on goal but saw his shot parried by the onrushing goalkeeper.

Ministry of Education gives update on preparation for new school year as teachers head back to work on Monday

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Antigua News Room

Schools across Antigua and Barbuda, while set to resume in less than two weeks time, will open for teachers on Monday, August 29.

Students, on the other hand, return for the start of the 2022-2023 academic year on September 5.

Teachers have undergone workshops over summer break and their early return is in preparation for the new school year, official reports say.

The shortage of teachers has been a constant problem over the years, with students often not having an instructor for a particular subject, sometimes for an entire term. However, the Government is promising that every step is being taken to ensure that each school has an adequate number of teachers this year.

Work is also being done to ensure the school plant is ready to receive the inflow of students; this includes having an adequate number of desks and chairs; cleaning the classrooms; and ridding the compounds of overgrown grass and shrubbery.

Minister of Health Sir Molwyn Joseph, meanwhile, says that COVID-19 has been greatly reduced in its ability to spread; however, he says the wearing of masks remains optional in classrooms — but is very much encouraged.

Meanwhile, the Youth Education and Empowerment Programme (YEEP) has reportedly registered approximately 500 students ahead of its new academic year.

Administrators of the programme say that classes will likely be split between two venues, both of which are yet to be confirmed, but will be done shortly.

It was only last week that an administrator took to social media to claim that his efforts to find a home for the programme were not being supported, despite a Cabinet decision that the Ministries of Works and Social Transformation should have advanced.

YEEP students, reportedly, are primarily made up of working and unemployed adults who are now seeking to acquire CXC and CAPE subjects, and it is said to be involved in the preparation of students for university.

Lovell asks about status of WIOC shares owned by jailed Chinese investor; Browne says Jinhua has none

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Antigua News Room

Harold Lovell, Political Leader of the United Progressive Party (UPP), is asking about the status of shares in the West Indies Oil Company Ltd. (WIOC) owned by Chinese-Canadian investor Xiao Jianhua.

Jianhua was fined and confined for 13 years in China, last Friday, August 19, after pleading guilty to bribery and other crimes that Chinese authorities said had “seriously jeopardized” the country’s financial security.

The Chinese billionaire has been said to control nearly 25% of WIOC’s shares and holds Antigua and Barbuda citizenship.

Since 2017 questions have been raised about his holdings in the company.

Lately, Prime Minister Gaston Browne said in Parliament that the Chinese investor’s interests in the company were being managed here in Antigua, but he did not elaborate.

With Jianhua’s conviction, Lovell is asking what has become of his shares and whether the Chinese Government will seize them, since it is going after his other assets globally.

The UPP Political Leader says there are still many unanswered questions related to this Chinese investor and his association with WIOC.

Meanwhile, to the surprise of residents on Wednedsay night, Browne stated, on an Observer Radio live feed, that Jianhua has no shares in WIOC. But, again, he did not elaborate.

There is speculation that Government Ministers are actually shareholders in Jianhua’s holdings in Antigua and Barbuda.

Tabor addresses need for a ‘living wage’ amidst rising inflation and for improved working conditions at Gov’t departments

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Antigua News Room

United Progressive Party (UPP) Senator Damani Tabor is again advocating for a “living wage” in place of a minimum wage in Antigua and Barbuda, even as workers in the United Kingdom are agitating for decent pay increases.

Tabor says the two minimum wage increases granted under the Baldwin Spencer Administration were a demonstration that the UPP is, indeed, a “People First” political institution.

Once the Party is returned to office at the next polls, he assures affected workers that they will see a wage increase that falls in line with the high inflation rate.

As inflation increases, many manufacturers are slyly cutting down on the volume of their products, while retaining the size of the packaging. In essence, consumers are paying more money for less content, resulting in what is now termed “shrink-flation.”

Meanwhile, Tabor says that even the conditions under which many persons are forced to work are deplorable, and a UPP

Administration will urgently address this.

Meanwhile, Senator Tabor notes the relocation of several government departments, including the Central Board of Health, the St. John’s and All Saints Magistrates Courts, and a number of police stations – all due to mouldy premises, leaks and other structural issues.

The Government should have made these a priority, he says, and he is calling for upgrades to these departments, as well as to the hospital and community clinics.
