Of course, it’s not just the actor and comedian’s jokes about the Trinidadian superstar that landed him in hot water. Others pointed to his joke about Tourette syndrome, for example. But in many of the DMs that Cole shared, it seems like Barbz or just people wanting to defend Nicki had a lot of particular smoke for him.

“Keep Nicki out yo mouth before I spit on u,” one fan wrote. Another added, “B***H F**K YOU QUIT SPEAKING ON THE MOTHER F***ING QUEEN NAME B***H, NOTICE HOW NOBODY EVEN KNEW WHO TF U WERE UNTIL U BROUGHT HER NAME UP, I HOPE U AND ALL UR FAMILY MEMBERS GET TOUCHED IRL THAT OUGHTA TEACH U.” “You b***h a** n***a keep Nicki name out your f***ing mouth p***y a** b***h! Ugly a** hair you lame asf weak b***h! All yall b****hes lame.”

This sadly isn’t Nicki Minaj’s first media roast, as she popped off on Trevor Noah and many others after he mocked her at the Grammys. As of writing this article, she hasn’t responded to Deon Cole yet.

Still, beyond just the few Barbz who got in Deon Cole’s DMs, some fans wonder why he even took shots at the Young Money femcee to begin with. Although he didn’t explicitly mention this or any other reason, Nicki Minaj’s controversial support of Donald Trump has landed her in hot water these days.

As such, many folks assume that this is the root of the issue. Her endorsement of his policies, stances, and ideologies divided a lot of fans, with many continuing to defend her.

We’ll see if anything else develops here or if Nicki Minaj will respond to these criticisms. For now, the Barbz are among those taking up the mantle.

The post Deon Cole Shares Hateful DMs After Roasting Nicki Minaj At NAACP Image Awards appeared first on HotNewHipHop.

She took to Twitter last night (Saturday, February 28) to claim that she spoke to alleged sources reportedly connected to the G-Unit mogul’s team. The blogger alleged that he’s working on a documentary about the Georgia couple and “their alleged drugging and assault accusations.”

Of course, this doesn’t have any official confirmation from either side or credible back-ups to this allegation. However, it might make sense in some fans’ eyes due to 50 Cent’s previous documentary work. He got a lot of flack for executive producing the Diddy docuseries Sean Combs: The Reckoning on Netflix. So we know it’s in the Queens superstar’s arsenal.

However, that presumptive precedent might be what sparked these rumors in the first place. We’ll see if Fif himself steps in to clarify this or if the allegation vanishes without a follow-up.

Why Is 50 Cent Beefing With T.I.?

For those unaware, T.I. and Tiny’s allegations involve claims of sex trafficking, drugging, sexual assault, sexual battery, and more against them. While these claims remain unfounded in courts of law, a 2024 civil lawsuit did see a dismissal. They have denied all these allegations in the past, and will most likely continue to do so.

In any case, this alleged documentary rumor is the latest chapter in T.I.’s scathing beef with 50 Cent. It all happened because 50 allegedly stepped out of a Verzuz battle they agreed to, leading to disrespect online. Since then, King Harris and Domani have joined their father in dissing Curtis Jackson on wax, while he just lets his Internet trolling do the talking.

Regarding this documentary allegation, it’s important to note Tasha K’s past trouble with online claims. She lost a defamation suit from Cardi B. Also, this alleged documentary would get into hot legal water considering the lack of legal success from the couple’s accusers. They also have 50’s own past allegations of abuse to scrutinize.

Right now, it seems like things are relatively quiet, although fans always expect another flare-up. But Tasha K’s allegations about this documentary would not be far from what we’ve already seen. Then again, with no official confirmation on this, we can only wait to see what happens next.

During the interview, the actor said he didn’t know how much his bond was over that arrest, and wasn’t even sure if he got bailed out. Then, he mentioned the “She Knows Too Much” and “Everywhere I Go (Remind Me)” artists, although it’s unclear if they are actually responsible for his earlier exit from jail.

“I have no idea what happened,” LaBeouf expressed. “I have no idea, bro, I know Thundercat tried to get it going. Stephen and me are very close. I know him from school. He tried to send his people out, and I love you very much. That’s a good man. Cudi did the same thing. So I had these assistants. I didn’t know the names of these people. But they showed up at the court, the jail, trying to get me out. The bailiff or the jailor was like, ‘Hey, do you know Stacy or Shirley?’ I didn’t know none of these people. So she said, ‘Should I just tell him to go?’ She did. And then I just left on my own. I don’t know who paid for what.”

Was Shia LaBeouf Arrested Again?

A post shared by Complex Music (@complexmusic)

However, Shia LaBeouf’s legal trouble didn’t stop there. According to TMZ, authorities in New Orleans arrested him again yesterday (Saturday, February 28) and took him to a county jail on a fresh battery charge. Whether this relates to Shia’s February 17 incident in which police arrested him for an alleged bar brawl is unknown. But earlier on Saturday, reports of a new arrest warrant emerged in connection to that arrest.

Official reports also claim LaBeouf uttered homophobic slurs at a group of people at Mardi Gras, and the court reportedly released him on his own recognizance without posting bond. On Thursday (February 26), a judge reportedly condemned his language, set bail at $100,000, and ordered drug testing and substance abuse treatment. Shia said in this Channel 5 interview that he doesn’t have a drinking problem and had a problem with gay men touching him, which led to the incident involving two alleged counts of battery.

Shia LaBeouf also referenced other celebrities during this interview, including a curious claim about Kendrick Lamar. “I remember asking Kendrick one time, like, ‘Trump or Kamala?’ He was like, ‘You think I give a f**k about that s**t?'” he claimed.

As caught by Bars on Instagram, Don reportedly took to his Instagram Story to share a chart from the Rap IG page about the hottest songs on their radar. The ranking included two Toliver tracks from his new album OCTANE (“E85” and “Body”) at one and two, Lil Uzi Vert’s “What You Saying” at number three, and J. Cole’s “Two Six” at number five. The fourth spot was for Tip’s “Let Em Know,” a single ahead of his upcoming album Kill The King.

“2Songs Got It. I’m enjoying this. I must say,” Don Toliver reportedly wrote, as he seemingly deleted the post as of writing this article or the Story went away. “Side Note… T.I. out here going crazy. Tip Still Out Here Punching.”

Given the two artist’s shared Southern roots, the admiration from the newer generation to a legend should come as no surprise. We will see if Fif decides to respond to this in any way or if he rightfully recognizes this as an innocent shoutout with no deeper beef implication.

Why Is T.I. Beefing With 50 Cent?

Still, fans in the comments brought up T.I.’s disses against 50 Cent, although many of them dismissed the notion that Don Toliver is “taking a side” in any way. Maybe one of those diss tracks will be on future charts. For those unaware, the beef stems from 50 allegedly backing out of a Verzuz battle and mocking Tip.

What’s more is that Tip’s family has also gone at the G-Unit mogul on wax recently, namely his sons King Harris and Domani. But 50 decided to keep his responses to social media trolls and attacks rather than a studio session.

We will see if other folks comment on either the Atlanta artist’s new music or this feud with Curtis Jackson. Either way, it goes to show how inseparable some narratives are from the artists at their center, even if they’re doing completely unrelated things.

In the clip, Thug walks past a woman taking a dancing video and dances alongside her, with her noticing and greeting him. Many fans assumed he was dancing “on” the woman or looked at her body, which led many to claim that he’s cheating or cheated on Mariah.

In response, the Atlanta rapper took to Twitter with a since-deleted message. “Just was walking pass the camera and danced with a fan on some cool s**t don’t make it nun crazy,” he wrote. “And yes I already saw the camera lol I have a wife.”

But Young Thug doubled down in another tweet from last night (Saturday, February 28). “N***a can’t even show luv to fans lol I was just being nice and having fun with humans,” he expressed. “I don’t know that girl or want to, no shade to her tho she’s beautiful.”

Is Mariah The Scientist Young Thug’s Wife?

For those unaware, Young Thug and Mariah The Scientist got engaged last December at the former’s Atlanta show. However, they haven’t officially confirmed that they tied the knot, so we’ll see if that happens at some point in the near future.

This engagement followed a lot of drama for the couple, whether it was the YSL RICO case or a lot of speculation about their dynamic. In the face of cheating scandals and social media rifts, though, it’s clear that they’re still going strong.

With Young Thug’s new album on the way, we’ll see if this social media gossip becomes a lyrical focus on the LP. Fans hope he bounces back hard after UY SCUTI, his first full-length since leaving prison, disappointed many fans last year.

Mariah The Scientist still seems supportive of her boo, even if she hasn’t addressed much of this on the Internet as of late. Still, hopefully they continue to work through the drama if they so choose.

The Nicki section of Cole’s prayer begins at around the 3:20-minute mark of the YouTube video below. It came after a lot of other social commentary and pop culture jokes, and immediately followed a comment on 50 Cent’s pettiness. He took aim at Minaj’s current standing, most likely due to her controversial support of United States President Donald Trump, and even took shots at her body.

“Lord, we want you to bless our sister Nicki Minaj, Lord, yes,” the actor and comedian remarked. “She’s been going through a lot lately, Lord. Hasn’t been herself, Lord. I believe whatever’s in her a** is affecting her brain, Lord. Take it our her a**, Lord. We bind that spirit in her a**, Lord.” We will see if the Queen of the Barbz has anything to say about this…

Why Is Nicki Minaj Supporting Donald Trump?

After all, Nicki Minaj has responded to the media’s disses before. She recently went wild on Trevor Noah and more for roasting her and Trump at the Grammy Awards, and it was a fiery Twitter rant.

For those unaware, Nicki Minaj’s support of Donald Trump did not happen overnight. Rather, a few signs and crossover moments eventually developed into a strong relationship. Minaj’s public support crystallized when she supported Trump’s claims about persecution of Christians in Nigeria.

From there, the femcee has supported Trump’s financial policies and initiatives, called out Democrats in his name, and cosigned his voter ID arguments. So the reasons for this support are numerous, and she continues to stand by her endorsements.

As such, we will see if Nicki responds to Deon Cole’s shots at the NAACP Image Awards or if she focuses on other endeavors. For example, she said she would be dropping an album soon, so fans are very curious for more updates amid this controversial time for her.

zSneakerHeadz reports that the Social Status x Air Jordan 1 Low is going to be released in the holiday season of 2026.

The sneaker features red leather overlays on the toe box, eyestay, and heel areas. A vibrant blue woven textile material covers the midfoot panels and collar for unique texture. White leather hits the toe and quarter panels providing clean contrast against the bold colors.

Black Swooshes and black inner lining keep the design grounded with classic Nike styling. Cream-colored midsoles deliver vintage aesthetic appeal throughout the lower portion of the shoe. Red rubber outsoles match the upper overlays for cohesive color coordination from top to bottom.

Brown suede accents appear on the heel tab adding premium material variety to the construction. Social Status collaborations typically feature thoughtful storytelling and cultural references within their designs.

The boutique has previously partnered with Jordan Brand on successful Jordan 6 and Dunk releases. This marks their first official Air Jordan 1 Low collaboration joining their growing Jordan shoes.

Social Status x Air Jordan 1 Low

Social Status consistently delivers thoughtful, well-executed sneaker collaborations that tell compelling stories visually. That red and blue color combination feels bold yet surprisingly wearable for everyday fits.

The woven textile material on the midfoot adds serious texture and visual interest throughout. Cream vintage midsoles give these instant retro appeal that elevated collectors will definitely appreciate. Black Swooshes provide necessary contrast without overwhelming the unique color palette chosen here.

Social Status has earned their spot among the best boutique collaborators in sneaker culture. Their attention to detail and storytelling always shows through in the final products. These mock-ups suggest another winner that will likely sell out extremely fast.

The Jordan 1 Low silhouette provides the perfect canvas for creative collaborations like this. Also the retail price of these will be announced closer to when they drop.

Not only that, but the venue even brought out a special accolade for Fif: the “Nobel Beef Prize.” As caught by 2Cool2Blog on Instagram, bottles came out with a huge cut-out of the prize and a sign that read, “Got beef?”

In addition, the G-Unit mogul posted a recap of the night on his Instagram page, which contained an interesting old quote from him plus some combative old lyrics. “I don’t give a f**k,” he said in the clip. “They say the person across the street that looks at you, they don’t like you from across the street. Some people feel the need to go across the street to say, ‘Why? I’m a good person.’ I genuinely don’t give a f**k about what those people feel about me across the street, because they don’t care about me… I don’t ever want a problem. But when they say they want a problem, I say, ‘No problem.'”

We’ll see if 50 Cent keeps trolling T.I. online or if he continues to speak through his money moves. It seems like many rap fans loved Tip’s shots and his family’s disses, but 50’s not breaking a sweat over it… Or is this trying to deflect from shots that landed?

Either way, we doubt Curtis Jackson will step into the booth anytime soon. He’s too busy with his performances, business endeavors, and more, but we hope we’re wrong.

For those unaware, T.I.’s beef with 50 Cent stems from a settled Verzuz match-up that the latter allegedly backed out of. T.I. and his family eviscerated 50 Cent following many social media trolls, interview call-outs, and more. We’ll see if there’s another chapter here or if both sides feel satisfied with their contributions.

zSneakerHeadz reports that the Air Jordan 3 “Santa” will be released on November 21st, 2026. Jordan Brand perfectly times this drop for the peak holiday shopping season ahead.

The sneaker features a vibrant varsity red leather upper covering the entire construction beautifully. White leather hits the midsole, collar, and eyestay for classic Jordan 3 contrast throughout.

Santa-themed insoles add playful holiday character to this festive release specifically for Christmas. The insoles feature Santa Claus wearing Air Jordan 1s in a fun nod to sneaker culture. Red and white color blocking creates a holiday vibe.

The elephant print panels provide signature Jordan 3 texture and premium visual appeal instantly. Black rubber outsoles deliver functional traction with herringbone patterns for court-ready performance capability.

This represents Jordan Brand’s latest attempt at creating seasonal Jordan 3 colorways for collectors. Holiday-themed Jordans have become annual traditions for sneaker enthusiasts and gift shoppers alike nationwide.

The “Santa” colorway immediately shows the festive inspiration behind this special release clearly. Expect solid demand from both Jordan collectors and people seeking unique Christmas presents this year.

Air Jordan 3 “Santa” Price

That vibrant varsity red nubuck gives these such a premium, luxurious feel throughout. The white and red color combination is absolutely perfect for holiday season styling. Black elephant print adds the signature Jordan 3 texture everyone knows and loves.

Santa-themed insoles are such a fun detail that elevates these beyond standard releases. It’s the kind of playful touch that makes seasonal sneakers feel truly special. The color blocking mirrors classic Jordan colorways while maintaining distinct Christmas character clearly.

These would look incredible with holiday fits or even ugly Christmas sweater parties. End-of-year timing makes them ideal for gift-giving or treating yourself after holidays.

The Jordan 3 silhouette remains timeless no matter what colorway Jordan Brand creates. Also the retail price of these will be $215 when they drop.
