Latto has inadvertently confirmed that she and 21 Savage are dating despite him denying that he is in a celebrity relationship in the past.

On Saturday, the “Big Energy” artist was seen in a video showing off her haircare routine as she got her long brown tresses washed, blown out, and styled. However, eagle-eyed fans spotted the red tattoo behind her left ear, which spelled out Savage’s government name ‘Sheyaa.’

The video was shared on Latto’s Reels page, and fans are convinced that they are indeed dating. The rapper shared details about her hair care routine at the salon Slayology Studio in Atlanta last month.

The rapper’s fans and followers have been cutting up under the Reels, but Latto has not addressed questions and comments from fans. She later removed the video, and it’s understood why, as she and 21 Savage has gone to lengths to keep their relationship under wraps.

It’s suspected that they have been dating for the last two years, but neither has been spotted together publicly or confirmed the relationship. Latto has generated a lot of interest in her love life, especially as she shared photos and videos of her glamorous gifts and vacations.

The sighting of her tattoo also comes amid recent statements Latto made about her relationship dynamic while on Atlanta’s Hot 107.9 radio with J Nicks.

“If it’s yours, go crazy,” she said. “I got the [Cor]vette, I got the Lam[borghini], I got the Birkins, I got the Heart. I don’t pay no bills. If he comin’ like that, then yeah,” she said about her boyfriend.

The rapper was also asked about her partner paying her bills. one cl”I don’t pay no bills!” she reiterated. “That’s how it’s supposed to be, though. If he comin’ right, he comin’ right.”

Latto did not confirm who her boyfriend was, and 21 Savage has also not addressed who his girlfriend is. The Her Loss rapper last month denied that he had a celebrity relationship while on Clubhouse in December 2022.

“I don’t do all the antics and sh**. I don’t got a celebrity girlfriend,” he said. “I’m not finna be out everywhere. I’m not dropping music every other week. I’m not going on [Instagram] Live talking about niggas every other week.”

President of the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB), Dr. Hyginus Leon, paid a courtesy call on Premier of Nevis Mark Brantley at his Pinney’s Estate office on Friday

Premier Brantley, Minister of Energy in the Nevis Island Administration (NIA), was pleased to welcome Dr. Leon to the island. The CDB president was accompanied by his Senior Advisor, Andrea Power.

“We are delighted to have you here. The CDB has done very good work in St. Kitts and Nevis, and more specifically on the island of Nevis. I can think of a major water project for example that we embarked on, and more recently we’ve been talking about the CDB being involved in our geothermal exploration.

“I hope that while you are here on business, I know it’s a short visit, that you have the opportunity to enjoy some of the hospitality which we are quite famous for,” he said.

Dr. Leon said he was looking forward to having engaging conversation with Premier Brantley as the CDB is very excited about the prospects for Nevis, and the Federation generally, particularly in the geothermal space.

“As you know, renewable energy is one of the ways in which we will contribute in a very big way to the whole climate change action that is required to advance our economies in a very planet-friendly way.

“So Nevis leading the charge in terms of geothermal development and of course the benefits that we have, both in terms of providing energy but equally horizontally into what we would think of as green industries. It’s clearly a way of the future and we are very excited at the prospect and we look forward to cooperating very much with the administration in developing this going forward,” he said.

Ahead of their discussion Premier Brantley presented Dr. Leon with a Nevis Naturally gift bag with locally made products, and CDB President gifted the Premier with a token of appreciation on behalf of the institution.

The Caribbean Development Bank recently approved US$17 million in funding for the Nevis geothermal project. The production drilling phase is set to begin in June 2023, and is anticipated to last six months. Once that is successful, the NIA will begin the second phase, constructing a geothermal power plant with a capacity of 10 megawatts.

Meek Mill Reacts To DJ Drama Claiming Lil Uzi Vert’s ‘Just Wanna Rock’ Replaced ‘Dreams And Nightmares’ As Philly Anthem

DJ Drama seems to be starting another beef as he claims that Lil Uzi Vert has replaced Meek Mill after the former’s song was used as the Eagles’ anthem at the team’s last game.

Lil Uzi ran onto the field along with the Philadelphia Eagles team ahead of their winning game on Sunday, and Drama stirred the pot as he suggested that Meek Mill, who was previously associated with the team and whose music was played in prior games, has been replaced by Uzi.

“You did see Lil Uzi Vert bring out the Eagles to victory against the 49ers with ‘Just Wanna Rock. I think it’s fair to say that ‘I Just Wanna Rock’ has replaced—with all due respect—’Dreams and Nightmares’ as the new anthem of Philadelphia, as the new anthem of the Philadelphia Eagles this year,” DJ Drama said in an impromptu interview with TMZ.

“I’m looking forward to hearing that song many, many times [throughout] Super Bowl weekend,” he added.

Meek Mill’s 2012 track “Dreams and Nightmares” was used by the Eagles throughout their Super Bowl championship chase in 2018 and has been regarded as a Philly sports anthem as it rallied state patriotism to back the powerful NFL team.

Meek Mill also responded to Drama on Thursday night, seemingly not bothered by the comparisons made by DJ Drama.

“Intro been lighting the world for 10 years! Like shaking rooms for years!” he wrote on Twitter.

Lil Uzi Vert’s “Just Wanna Rock” was released last October under DJ Drama’s Generation Now label and peaked at No. 12 on the Billboard Hot 100 chart. That could explain why he has high hopes for the track.

In the meantime, the Philadelphia Eagles is one to watch, with fans expecting that the team could walk away with the Super Bowl LVII championship title.

Lil Wayne Shares His Mother Asks Him To Become A Father At 14

Black Immigrant Daily News

Lil Wayne revealed that his mother had pushed him to have his first child at 14 years old because she was lonely after he moved out and pursued a career in rap music.

Lil Wayne was honored on Thursday night by the Recording Academy with the Global Impact Award at the Black Music Collective’s BMC honors. The rapper became very emotional as DJ Khaled introduced him and recognized him for his contributions to music and his global impact on younger generations of artists who aspire to him.

“I must thank everybody here. I appreciate y’all for staying here,” the rapper said as he called out the Grammys and Recording Academy for naming him for the prestigious award.

Wayne was visibly emotional as he shared that the life circumstances he encountered stacked the odds against him, including forcing him to make life-changing decisions at a very early age.

“I want y’all to know that I don’t get honours. Where I’m from, New Orleans, you not supposed to do this. Where I’m from, I walked into my mama room, I was 14. She asked me for a kid because my dad was killed and her son had just blew up and went on his first tour and we did not know that b**ch was gonna be six months,” he said.

The rapper spoke of the burden he carried at a very young age as he recognized the mother of his first child, Antonia ‘Toya’ Johnson, who, at 15 years old, gave birth to his daughter Reginae Carter when he was just 16.

Reginae Carter

“When I came home, she said ‘son, I can’t live in this house by myself, we gon have to figure something out,” Wayne said.

The rapper thanked his mother, friends Mac Mayne and Cortex Bryan, along with his friends at Cash Money Records, who helped him to achieve his dreams.

Lil Wayne was signed to Cash Money Records at 12 years old and put out his first album at 13 years old. The rapper previously shared that his mother had reluctantly supported him to quit school to focus on his career when he was 14 years old because he was passionate about music and becoming a rapper.

“I had an album out. I was platinum already, thank god, and I was still trying to go to regular public school and she stopped me from getting ready for school one day. She was walking past the room, I’ll never forget she was on the phone with somebody talking loud and she walked past my room and she saw me putting my bag on my back and she said, ‘You going to bring that to school with you?’ and I remember I asked her, ‘You don’t want me to bring it?’ and she thought about it and said, ‘I do’.”

“Two minutes later she walked back into the room and she was still on the phone and said, ‘You don’t go to school no more, you’re getting a GED (General Educational Development certificate).’ I said okay. So I got a GED and went to college,” he added.

The rapper was emphatic when he ended his speech, noting that New Orleans rappers don’t get enough credit but also shared his gratitude to those who helped his career, “I ain’t shit without you.”

Nicki Minaj Faces $750K In Damages Over Kenneth Petty’s Alleged Attack On Security Guard

/0 Comments/in /by

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Urban Islandz

A bodyguard who alleged that Nicki Minaj and her husband, Kenneth Petty, physically attacked him is suing the couple for $753,958.51 in damages for battery and emotional distress.

The bodyguard Thomas Weidenmuller who resides in Germany, has filed a lawsuit against the rapper on the hook for battery and infliction of emotional distress. The lawsuit was filed last month. Weidenmuller claims that he was hired as head of security for a Nicki Minaj concert in 2019 in Frankfurt, Germany. During the concert, a fan jumped onto the stage and ran towards the rapper, and she was not pleased, Weidenmuller claims, and that was the reason for the attack later on.

“The concert-goer breached a security barricade dividing the audience from the stage and was able to get on stage while Minaj was performing. In obtaining access to the stage, the concert-goer bypassed a female security guard stationed at the stairs leading to the stage,” the document said, according to the Blast.

Weidenmuller says that while the rapper was unhappy about the fan getting on stage, there was no hurt done to Minaj or damage done to the stage.

“The concert-goer did not cause harm to any other person, nor did he damage any property during or after his limited time on stage. He simply danced on stage to the music. He did not attempt to, and did not actually, make any physical contact with Minaj while on stage.”

Kenneth Petty, Nicki Minaj and their son Papa Bear

After the show, Weidenmuller says he was confronted by Minaj, Kenneth, and others from her entourage, with Minaj visibly “irate during this confrontation and screamed at the female security guard that she was a f—ing bitch and accused her of having put Minaj in physical danger. During the confrontation, the female security guard was in tears and apologized to Minaj.”

The female security guard apologized to Nicki Minaj, who refused it and instead demanded another apology which she used her phone to record. The rapper told the woman, “tell Minaj’s fans, via the recording, that she failed to do her job and put Minaj in danger.”

Weidenmuller claims the rapper went further as she threw her shoes in anger at the security guard but missed. Weidenmuller doesn’t say he witnessed this himself, but he said Petty summoned him backstage, where he, along with two other bodyguards and Nicki Minaj, proceeded to verbally assault him and accused him of being romantically involved with the female bodyguard.

“Without warning, Petty PUNCHED Weidenmuller from the side and made contact with the right side of [his] face,” the lawsuit said, resulting in the security head having to be hospitalized.

Weidenmuller says he ended up spending 10 days in the hospital and suffered extreme pain as Petty punched him several times.

“After two or three minutes, and under the belief that his jaw was broken, Weidenmuller turned the corner again, returning to the location where Petty hit him.”

The matter was reported to the police, but it’s unclear what the outcome of that investigation was as both Petty and Minaj returned to the U.S. without being slapped with criminal charges.

Nick Cannon’s Baby Mama LaNisha Cole Addresses Reports She’s Pregnant Again

Black Immigrant Daily News

LaNisha Cole is putting to bed rumors that she is pregnant with her second child for Nick Cannon.

Her followers and fans of Cannon have been speculating that she might be expecting another baby after she posted photos of herself appearing plump in the face and waist area. However, Cole later released a video and several messages on Instagram denying that she was pregnant.

“No I’m not pregnant again,” the former model and photographer wrote on her Instagram Story on Thursday. “You guys are so used to SnapBack culture that you can’t let a woman be at peace with not losing her baby weight in a week. My body is bigger and I’m not in any rush to lose the weight. It’ll come off in due time. Until then, there’s just more of me to love,” she said with laughing emojis.

She later posted a video where she shared, “as a new mom I have so many other things that are more of a priority for me. Empress Onyx has been ruling my life and I’m ok with it. She’s the boss of me. I’ll work out again when she allows me to.”

In a follow-up video, she said, “Definitely not pregnant again. Just thicker in the waist, thicker in the face. That’s it. I haven’t been working out as I used to…life happens you know what I mean? but I’m not in any rush to lose the weight.”

Lanisha Cole/Instagram

Cole gave birth to Nick Cannon’s ninth child, Onyx Ice Cole Cannon, back in September. If Cole is pregnant again, this would be Nick Cannon’s thirteenth child.

In the meantime, while those speculations are happening, it appears that Cole and Cannon have been broken up.

Last December, Cole shared a post of the song “Ciara’s Prayer” by Summer Walker and Ciara asking for the next man she dates to be her husband. The post was made a day after Cannon shared that he welcomed his 12th child, a daughter named Halo Marie Cannon, with model Alyssa Scott, their second child.

In the meantime, Cole appears to be dating her close friend, Brian Paul Kuba. The couple recently went Instagram official.

The feud between Bounty Killer and Mr. Vegas has gotten nastier, with Dexta Daps now joining the melee as he called out Vegas for dissing Bounty.

On Thursday, Mr. Vegas turned his attention to Dexta Daps, who called him a derogatory term used against gay people. Mr. Vegas fired off several posts on Instagram aimed at Daps for dissing him earlier in the day and calling him a “b—yman.” It’s unclear why Daps and Vegas are beefing, but fans online link it to Vegas’ onslaught against Bounty Killer.

Mr. Vegas and Bounty Killer have been feuding for months now, but things went up a notch as both men have been trading disses at each other using diss tracks.

Bounty Killer first released a diss track for Vegas called “Di War is On Again,” as he ridiculed Vegas’ lyrical skills as “karaoke .” Vegas responded by calling Bounty “pedo boy,” alleging that the artist had impregnated an underaged girl several years back but suffered no consequences for it. Vegas also released a diss track for Bounty singing, “Yuh violate a child mi ago dig out yuh heart,” among other things.

Bounty Killer also responded with another song on his Instagram where he seemingly called Vegas a “fish.”

“It costs nothing to kill a fassy, I kill for fun….specially when him wash him face with batty,” Bounty Killer says in the track with his laugh echoing in the background.

On Instagram, Bounty also wrote, “it cost absolutely ntn to kill a fassy just for the fun of it unda Grung fi a poop worm.”

He added, “dis drag a send vn and msg bout him want mi and him to voice on di same riddims is him man dem fi go ride him riddim mi a kill him pon anything even a guitar.”

That was when Dexta Daps seemingly joined the fracas writing under Bounty’s comment, “rare gasss report mi comment,” he wrote with laughing emojis and the fish emoji.

He then tagged Mr. Vegas, writing, “@mrvegas [fish emoji] cyah swim inna our wataz …YUH COULDA BAWL BLOOD YA DEAD….BUS HIM HEAD GENERAL,” he wrote.

Dexta Daps also uploaded a video aimed at Mr. Vegas.

“B****bcl**t dis, gay gas? Me fi clash gay gas?” he said, kissing his teeth. “me want piece a dat deh war deh? Batty yuh is a mad man?” he added.

“Mind me make two ah mi girl dem kill you enuh… because mi sure dem girl me have more lyrics than you batty,” he said before apologizing for using the derogatory word. “Never need fi call you that cause mi nuh know nothing bout you,” he said before bursting into laughter.

Dexta Daps also taunted Vegas telling him that he slept with more women than Vegas and his grandfather, and he also said that he was sure “not one man can call his name on effry.”

Mr. Vegas also responded with several posts directed at Dexta Daps, including two incidents in which the artist appeared to lust over two female fans who turned out to be transgender.

“Tranni Magnet? Nobody nuh believe unu! Stop it!” he captioned a photo of Dexta Daps looking at the butt of one of the fans.

Daps later deleted his video, and fans of Mr. Vegas were confused as they questioned why he was going after Daps.

“Wi affi remind dem, fam! Bwoy too bright! Mi nuh know weh him get the idea she him can make video and a style mi when him know him a tranni magnet!” he wrote in one comment under his post.

“Mi a remind dem seh dem shakey,” he added in another comment.

The content originally appeared on: Urban Islandz

Drake says his label should cut him a lebron sized check for his historic streaming record on Spotify.

The streaming service recently announced that Drake had earned the distinguished title of being the first artist in Spotify history to surpass 75 billion streams. Drake has long had an unmatched record as one of the most streamed artists in the United States and the world. His unbeaten streak continues into 2023 as the artist racks up accolade after accolade, but it seems that the title means nothing to Drake as he shared a playful reaction to the news.

“We should get bonuses like athletes to motivate future artists to be consistent and competitive,” the ‘Her Loss’ rapper said.

Drake has earned hundreds of plaques, no doubt, and he directed his message to Spotify that he prefers a cheque.

“Feel free to send me a Lebron sized cheque I have enough dinner plates,” the rapper said with laughing emojis as he tagged Spotify.

via Drake Instagram

Drake has been a source of inspiration over the last decade, as his work ethic and music speak for itself.

On his Instagram account on Thursday night (Feb. 2), the rapper shared a series of photos from his recent Apollo Theatre performance showing him in the studio, setting up the stage, and working late.

He also shared a motivational message to fans as he pointed out that consistency and not dealing with complacency set him apart from others.

“Introduced myself to consistency &we fell in love. Ever since then we’ve been stuck & can’t get enough@ this rate the going rate to see the one they rate isn’t luck Easy to see your hard work just ain’t hard enough because look @ them & look at us,” he said.

He added, “I’m just an observer who has seen enough. My mouth is becoming like the doors I opened for you I should have kept it shut. Wish I could explain what happens in person to these guys acting tough. Basically I let them keep dreaming and make believing til I decide to wake them up.”

Drake’s musical legacy is still doubted by some who question his music, but many others have credited the rapper for his talent and hard work in maintaining the enviable position as the most streamed rapper and one of the top 5 most streamed artists globally across all credits.
