Tom Holland Memes Fly After Nicki Minaj Gives Birth

Kenneth Petty, who?? The only person that the internet is recognizing as the father of Nicki Minaj’s newborn baby is none other than Tom Holland.

If you’re an avid Twitter user, or a Barb, you already have seen plenty of Tom Holland jokes surrounding the Queen’s pregnancy. If you’re not up-to-date on the ridiculous memes though, we’ll give you a quick rundown.

Back in April 2019, there was a meme that went viral about a fake love triangle between Nicki Minaj, Tom Holland, and make-up artist James Charles. For some reason, the joke stuck and, since then, people have joked that Tom is the father of Nicki’s baby.

It has been reported that earlier today, Nicki gave birth to her baby. The sex of her child has not been confirmed, and neither has their name. However, people are completely disregarding the child’s actual paternity (which is attributed to Kenneth Petty), claiming that the Spider-Man star is actually the rightful father of Minaj’s son or daughter.

With the news breaking, people are editing pictures and videos of Tom and Nicki together, photoshopping in a little baby and congratulating the “couple” on their big day.

Of course, Tom isn’t actually romantically involved with Nicki Minaj. He never has been. But, if you ask the internet, the two are madly in love and just welcomed their first baby.

Congrats Tom and Nicki?

Billy Chuck Da Goat finds his flow on new release “Vibez”

Billy Chuck Da Goat’s latest release, “Vibez,” has a laid-back, hypnotic bounce that makes it easy to listen to without ever feeling empty. It makes a place where calmness and quiet confidence come together.

“Vibez” was made on purpose, but it also sounds simple. Billy Chuck’s smooth delivery flows through the production without rushing or pushing anything. Instead, he lets the rhythm breathe, allowing people to get into the song at their own pace. This laid-back energy is the best part of the song, nothing feels forced, which is exactly what it’s trying to do.

The track changes to fit whatever you need it for, like a late-night drive, a focused workout, or a way to unwind after a long day. It has a quiet edge of confidence, it’s not loud or bragging, but it’s steady and sure of itself.

François Marius and Bérénice creates a tender acoustic pop confession with “Billie Jean”

François Marius’ latest release, “Billie Jean (Acoustic Version),” cuts to the quick and lets raw emotion take over. What you get, ultimately, is a personal pop experience that feels closer to a secret than to either a spoken-word show or a performance. The initial soft strum of an acoustic guitar creates a mood that is soft, sweet, and quietly interesting. It’s a full-throated, backbones-out piece, and every note is screaming its potential. It’s simple but riveting, and it proves that sometimes less is more.

François Marius and Bérénice’s voices sound right together, their voicings intermingle so naturally that they seem accidental or spontaneous, harmonies that emerge from nowhere. The way they speak to one another is very, I mean, they really love each other. That even makes the track seem like a conversation about feelings.

The two artists are clearly close. Romance and Eros are not just ideas, and they inhabit every note that lingers and every minuscule shift in tonality. The harmonies soar effortlessly over the acoustic foundation, a blend of sweetness and strength. It’s a sign of strength and also of a willingness to be hurt.

“Billie Jean (Acoustic Version)” is stripped of any fancy production or theatrical effects, it wins you over with its frankness and forthrightness. Sandy François Marius’s impersonation is fresh and real, endowed with depth and softness thanks to Bérénice’s presence, which definitely makes everything more perfect. This acoustic performance serves as a stark reminder of the elements that do connect people: the singer, his guitar, and a story from the heart.
