Things are getting fiery with Latto and Nicki Minaj as both rappers go head-on and refuse to back down following their blow-up on Twitter on Thursday (Oct 13).

On Friday, Latto shared a phone call with Nicki Minaj at the height of their beef. Nicki Minaj appeared to direct her anger at Latto after her song “Super Freaky Girl” was removed by the Grammy’s from the rap category and put in the pop category.

On Twitter, Latto claimed that Minaj’s rants were not about her Grammy nomination but that she had intended to beef with Latto. In a series of tweets, Latto hit out at the rapper, whom she called a bully.

“With all this being said this wasn’t JUST about a Grammy category. U being funny bringing me up to defend ur case knowing our last convo didn’t end on good terms. U literally told me I’m not “flourishing,” and no one cares about my “little song” otp lol@NICKIMINAJ,” Latto accused Minaj.

In another tweet, Latto also responded to now-deleted tweets by Minaj, which seemed to pit Latto against other rappers.

In the phone call, Latto is heard asking Minaj about her subtweeting her and explaining that she has always shown Minaj love in all of her interviews and online, only for the “Likkle Miss” rapper to come around and show her hate in return.

“it’s delusional to say other girls are flourishing?” Latto asks Minaj, who called her delusional on Twitter.

Minaj answers, “what do you think you wanna say about, let’s let you say about, let’s let you finish your statement about what rappers were doing before and what they’re doing now,” Minaj says.

Latto says, “for a long time before it was you,” as she begins to answer Minaj.

Nicki Minaj interjects, “you didn’t do your research. Imma have somebody send you the info about the women in the last 10 years who have had Billboard recognition, worldwide global recognition since you are clearly putting yourself above these people.”

“No, I’m not, that’s purposely [misinterpreting],” Latto tells Nicki Minaj as she says she will continue to show love for the veteran rapper and support her from the sidelines.

“I’m gonna support you from the sidelines because I can’t do it publicly when someone is literally subtweeting me for no reason, purposely trying to misinterpret what I am saying, I respect you too much to go back and forth with you,” Latto told Minaj.

Nicki Minaj, however, seems convinced that Latto has to learn some important lesson, although she failed to articulate what that lesson is, and when Latto asked, she quickly ended the call by saying she had a zoom call.

On Twitter, Latto explains the phone call and the reason she called and recorded the rapper.

“Lemme specify I’m sorry. Im delusional for saying ‘we’re’ (newer female rappers) are flourishing & u said no one cares about my little song LYRICS my bad. FYI I only recorded cause I KNOW who tf I’m playing wit #40yroldbully,” she said

In another tweet, she called out Minaj for being messy. “This lady so meticulous w her shade so she can twist it later and act like it wasn’t about you. Stand on that shit.”

Latto also said that Minaj also didn’t want to collaborate with her, and her behavior has shown she is a problem. “I’ll die on this hill by myself! Everybody ain’t lying on you! We see the pattern! BFFR!” one tweet read.

“The feature was never the problem..u passed on the TWO songs I sent & I still showed love??? U not the only person I’ve sent songs to that passed lmao. Never took offense. IMA RAPPER. Cute way to spin the narrative tho,” she also said.

Latto also responded to Minaj’s tweet accusing her of using ghostwriters, where she said that the older rapper had recommended writers she used.

“I’ll post em my got damn self. They’ll all tell u I WRITE TOO! I heard a few of ur refs before they came out too boo. U forgot WE ALL collab w the same writers?? Difference is I don’t deny it. The world seen me writing since 16 on national TV tho.”

Le réseau Sudlib toujours interrompu ce vendredi

Le réseau Sudlib est toujours interrompu ce vendredi. – R.S.

Depuis hier (jeudi 13 octobre), les lignes de bus du réseau SudLib sont fortement perturbées en raison d’un mouvement social. 

Toujours pas de bus ou presque, ce vendredi sur les lignes du réseau Sudlib. Dans un communiqué, la direction de l’entreprise indique que « les lignes interrurbaines sont interrompues jusqu’à nouvel ordre en raison de la poursuite du mouvement social ».

 

Les lignes interrurbaines circulent sauf les lignes Ea, Eb et I. Les lignes Express et le réseau scolaire circulent, en revanche, normalement.

Le mouvement social amorcé jeudi est lié à l’agression d’un chauffeur du réseau. Mais, selon la société Unité Sud Transports, qui exploite le réseau, l’entreprise rencontrait des difficultés ces derniers jours en raison des « problèmes croissants d’approvisionnement en pièces détachées, entraînant de nombreuses immobilisations de véhicules ».

Cuban fashion model falls in love with Cayman on first visit Loop Cayman Islands

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Cayman Compass

It is not unusual to hear accounts of people falling in love with Cayman on their first visit and never wanting to leave. In some cases, this choice is made after several rendezvous to various destinations which they compare Cayman to and then make a final decision.

In the case of Cuban fashion model and dancer, Cintia Mart?nez, however, the love story is a bit different as Cayman is the only place she has ever seen outside Cuba.

What made Cayman her choice

Explaining her experience to Loop, Mart?nez said that Cayman is “very different from Cuba”.

Regarding these differences, she said: “The economy in the Cayman Islands is very organized. In stores, they make offers that they don’t make in Cuba. The attention in places [here] is very efficient… in Cuba, in very few places, they take care of you well.

“Life is much more expensive in Cuba but [in Cayman], you have a decent salary that allows you to buy what you need.”

In terms of salaries, Mart?nez said she earned 10 to 20 US dollars per job as a fashion model and dancer in Cuba. With this, she could buy milk (which she said was not always available), rice, coffee, yoghurt and chicken. However, this involves waiting in “immense cues… many times for 7 hours, just to buy hotdogs and toilet paper”.

Mart?nez also dispelled the idea that sometimes, food is free in Cuba.

She said:

They don’t give free food. Only if a donation from another country arrives in the warehouse maybe once a year. [In this case], each family may get a package of spaghetti and two cans of tuna.

Beyond economics

After comparing the economics of Cayman and Cuba, Mart?nez spoke about people she met while in Cayman.

Mart?nez noted that in Cayman, people “always greet you with good vibes”.

She added: “Everyone here is very focused on their lives, people are very hardworking and there are also many places you can go.”

Motivated by this, Mart?nez said that she would love to spend “at least a year or maybe two” working in Cayman one day, maybe as “a Spanish teacher maybe in a school or maybe work with children in a nursery”.

Back to Havana

While she explores how to make her Cayman dream a reality and perhaps make her next stay permanent, Mart?nez said she will return to Havana this weekend with a renewed vision.

Explaining what she wants to see in Cuba after her trip, she said that she wished she could “change the lack of humanity between people, the government and some laws”. In addition, she said she would like “the militarisation [in Cuba]” to change.

Until the Cuban dream is realised in Cuba, Mart?nez is looking forward to returning to Cayman for another “relaxing and amazing” experience, in particular, on Cayman Airways.

NRA’s transparency and accountability boosted under Minster Jay Ebanks Loop Cayman Islands

Black Immigrant Daily News

The content originally appeared on: Cayman Compass

In an effort to increase transparency and accountability, board of directors of the National Roads Authority (NRA) amended their Board Communication Policy this week to include warnings and, ultimately, suspension without pay from board meetings in cases of a breach of the Board Communication Policy.

Speaking about the changes, NRA board chairman, Alric Lindsay, said that one of the aims was to help the NRA board and Minister Jay Ebanks address some of the concerns raised by the Office of the Auditor General.

Lindsay explained:

One of the things discussed with the Auditor General was that, in previous election periods, over 80 per cent of NRA’s budget was spent within 3 to 4 months of the election date. This drew serious concerns about the NRA’s spending and the need to stay within an operational plan and within budget.

To address the concerns, the new NRA board established a Board Communication Policy setting out parameters for communication with the NRA, including who may give instructions to the NRA.

As Lindsay explained, this Board Communication Policy was important to ensure that the NRA only acts on instructions from authorized persons i.e., the managing director or via directives from Cabinet or the NRA board.

Elucidating on the point, Lindsay said:

The issue that was highlighted in previous years was that members of Parliament reportedly contacted the NRA from time to time to provide instructions for road works in various areas.

The Auditor General noted that some of these works were not set out in an operational plan and, as such, referred to them as “ad-hoc” projects.

With the guidance of Minister Jay Ebanks, the NRA board worked on, and finalized a strategic operational plan last year, together with the recently revised Board Communication Policy, to eliminate the practice of “ad-hoc” projects and to establish proper communication channels where no member of Parliament may give casual instructions to the NRA.

Lindsay added that this approach of prohibiting ad-hoc projects also means that monies must not be spent by the NRA outside the NRA board’s approved strategic operational plan (amended from time to time).

To shore up the NRA’s position, Lindsay noted that the NRA’s managing director, Edward Howard, is also finalizing internal control and operational risk management policies to ensure that these meet the overall objectives of accountability and transparency.

Lindsay emphasized, however, that “none of this works if board members are not also accountable.”

“For this reason, all board members have agreed that any Board Communication Policy breaches will met with initial warnings, followed by suspension without pay,” Lindsay concluded.
