Lil Nas X Fights Back Nicki Minaj Halloween Costume Criticism

Lil Nas X is a very brave young man. Prior to his fame as an artist, the 21-year-old ran a Nicki Minaj fan page on social media and, this year for Halloween, he decided to play off that by dressing up as the superstar rapper in her “Super Bass” music video.

The star’s fan base loved what he put together, praising him for doing his part in breaking down gender norms. As expected, though, a number of people have been responding to his costume with homophobic remarks.

50 Cent laughed at Lil Nas X and re-posted his pictures, which caught the attention of Dave East, who did him one better.

“And y’all was mad at me about this n***a,” wrote Dave East on Instagram Stories, referring to his past controversy after critiquing LNX’s music. “Bati mon bun up!”

“Batty boy” is a homophobic slur used against gay men in Jamaican Patois.

Lil Nas X has already taken time to respond to the New York rapper, and he followed that up with some words on Twitter, addressing the public outrage over his Halloween costume.

“It’s november 2nd and grown men are waking up to have group discussions about a costume i wore on Halloween,” said LNX, joking about how ridiculous it is that people care so much.

He also responded to a fan who suggested that he’s wrong for dressing up as Nicki Minaj, claiming that children will be inspired to do the same. “So by this logic if i put on a shrek costume all of these little kids will want to shrek right?” he said, fighting back.

It’s unfortunate that there is so much rampant homophobia in the hip-hop community but, thankfully, Lil Nas X is trying to tear it down. He’s got millions of fans that are on his side, too.

After Dr. Cheyenne Bryant mentioned in an interview that the Migos rapper had sent her a direct message on social media, Offset quickly clarified the misunderstanding. While Bryant seemed to suggest there was something flirty about their interaction, Offset shared proof to show the truth. In a comment on a popular site, he dismissed the claims as “Clout smh,” referring to the term used when people seek fame or attention by making sensational statements.

To further clarify, he posted a screenshot of their actual conversation, which clearly showed that he approached Bryant with a professional intent, wanting to discuss business matters rather than anything romantic. The public reaction was swift, with many fans criticizing Bryant for making what they felt was an unnecessary claim.

DJ Vlad Sparks Heated Debate Over Rubi Rose’s Alleged Underage Relationships with Superstar Rappers

The hip-hop world is known for its drama, and over the weekend, Rubi Rose found herself at the center of a new controversy. During a heated discussion on the No Jumper podcast, hosts DJ Vlad and DJ Akademiks and guests Wack 100, Adam22, and Traplore Ross brought up old rumors regarding Rose’s past relationships with well-known rappers. Even though these claims are still just rumors, they have sparked a lot of buzz online. DJ Vlad mentioned that Playboi Carti’s team has been trying to get certain content removed where Rose reportedly talked about her time with him.

This led Akademiks to reveal an unreleased video where Rose names four famous rappers she has supposedly dated. While no specific names were confirmed, mentions of Travis Scott and 21 Savage during the conversation have only fueled the speculation. Things got even more complicated with accusations suggesting that Rubi Rose may have been underage during some of these relationships. Although there’s no solid proof for these claims, they have become a hot topic online, with many people questioning their validity and the ethics behind spreading such unverified information. Rubi Rose is known for her bold personality and musical talent, but she has also faced a lot of public criticism.

Her high-profile relationships, like those with comedian Druski, rapper DDG, and French Montana, have often made headlines. One ongoing controversy is her relationship with DDG, which has seen rumors of an alleged break-in at his home by Rose herself. The details of that situation remain unclear, but it has only added to the drama surrounding her life. So far, Rubi Rose has not publicly addressed the recent allegations. Whether she decides to speak out or stay quiet, this unfolding story highlights how blurry the lines can be between entertainment, gossip, and the real lives of celebrities.
