Fans have long appreciated the chemistry between the two Southern heavyweights, and “Mahogany Caskets” feels like a return to the larger-than-life street luxury records that helped define an era of rap. The production gives both artists plenty of room to flex while reinforcing the veteran presence they’ve maintained throughout their careers.

“I chose to fly commercial,” Ross explained. He insisted the decision was temporary while work was being done on his aircraft. While some fans accepted the explanation, OVO affiliate Kai wasn’t buying it.

Reacting to Ross’ comments on social media, Kai offered a simple but blunt response: “ other jets exist buddy.”

The remark quickly made the rounds online, with many users finding humor in the fact that Ross’ explanation centered around having only one available private jet. Others pointed out that chartering a private aircraft is common among wealthy celebrities, making Kai’s reaction resonate with fans who felt Ross’ reasoning sounded a little convenient.

The exchange also adds another layer to the ongoing tension between Drake’s camp and Rick Ross. The two former collaborators have spent the last year trading shots following Ross’ decision to side against Drake during the rapper’s highly publicized feud with Kendrick Lamar. Since then, Ross has repeatedly trolled the Toronto superstar online, while members of OVO have occasionally fired back. One of the most recent examples being when Ross refused to sing Drake’s lyrics during his verses battle with French Montana.

Of course, Ross has built much of his public image around displaying wealth. “The Biggest Boss” has never been shy about embracing extravagance. That’s partly why the commercial flight footage generated so much discussion in the first place.

Still, Ross appears unfazed by the criticism. The rapper has continued documenting his travels and business ventures online while leaning into the conversation surrounding the viral moment.

However, YouTuber and blogger Tasha K has weighed in. While she still has her own legal issues with Cardi B playing out in court, Tasha took to social media to suggest that Brown isn’t being truthful. “In my opinion. Big Tigger ain’t touch that woman!” Tasha wrote on Instagram.

Tasha K Alleges A Pattern Of Behavior

“She playing games. I spoke to her!” Tasha continued. “Same play on several different men in her life. She pulls this card when they don’t want her anymore! If I were Tigger, I would SUE her immediately, ask the court to gag her, ask for a restraining order, and gather all of the other false cases that she filed on all the other men prior to you.”

Tasha added that the radio host should “use all that as evidence [to] show a deliberate pattern. Don’t address this matter at all! Because the more you do, the more allegations she will make up! Next time do a background check on who you pro create with!” She ended her message by saying that “all women ain’t good women.”

Obviously, the case is ongoing. Big Tigger has not made any public statements about the allegations at the time of this publication. You can check out Tasha K’s post below.

After catching up with DJ Akademiks and sharing a twerk video online, Daphne Joy took some time out of her day to sit down with Adam22 of NoJumper. While there, she covered a wide array of topics, including why she prefers to date high-profile men, including Diddy and 50 Cent, the father of her son, Sire Jackson.

Adam told Daphne that he feels as if she deliberately attaches herself to men who are “very busy” and “very powerful” and don’t necessarily have time to nurture romantic relationships. She agreed.

“I feel hotter and sexier because they made the time for me,” she said. “I like that they prioritize me. I guess that excites me too. So, if a guy has too much time…” Adam interrupted her to call that man a “loser.” Daphne disagreed before the two moved on to her talking about never having a “boy toy.” She described that as being a man who’s available at any moment.

Meanwhile, 50 Cent has certainly had a few things to say about his son’s mother being involved in these shenanigans. You can check out Daphne Joy chatting with Adam22 below.

For years, the two artists appeared to move within the same orbit without issue. Lizzo openly praised Nicki’s influence, and there was little reason to believe either woman viewed the other as an adversary. That perception began to change as public controversies and political disagreements moved the conversation. Speculation among fans eventually evolved into something much harder to dismiss.

Today, the relationship between the Grammy-winning stars has become a recurring topic across social media and in interviews.

Before The Drama, Lizzo Was Open About Her Respect For Nicki Minaj

Initially, there was little public indication that Lizzo and Nicki Minaj had any issue with one another. In fact, some of their most visible interactions suggested the opposite. In 2022, after comedian Aries Spears mocked Lizzo’s appearance during a widely criticized interview, the singer used her MTV Video Music Awards acceptance speech to address the constant commentary surrounding her body and success.

While accepting the award for Video For Good for her hit, “About Damn Time,” Lizzo mirrored a Minaj moment when she began her speech by saying, “And now, to the b*tches that got something to say about me in the press…” At the 2015 MTV VMAs, Nicki said the exact same thing before infamously asking Miley Cyrus, “What’s good?!”

Moments like that helped change the perception that Lizzo and Nicki were on the same side in many conversations. While they were never known as close collaborators or constant public companions, there appeared to be mutual admiration. Lizzo had spoken positively about Nicki’s impact on music and culture, while Nicki often championed women she believed were succeeding on their own terms.

Lizzo’s Comments About Nicki Minaj Spark Debate

One of the first major flashpoints in the feud arrived after Nicki Minaj appeared at Turning Point USA’s AmericaFest in December 2025 and praised Donald Trump. The appearance sparked significant online discussion, particularly among fans who viewed the rapper’s comments as part of a broader shift toward conservative political spaces.

Lizzo weighed in shortly afterward during a TikTok video, revealing that she had been flooded with messages about Nicki’s appearance before researching the situation herself. While she initially downplayed the significance of celebrity opinions, she used the moment to make a broader point about the entertainment industry. “I’ma say it like this. Celebrities’ opinions of other celebrities [do] not matter. I’m telling you, it doesn’t matter.”

“So, my opinion of her does not matter,” the singer continued. “But what I will tell you is you’re about to see an influx of people who see that it is more profitable and more beneficial to join that side. You’re going to see it, it already started, and it’s going to continue… It’s going to hurt your feelings, and it’s going to disappoint you. You have to know that there’s money behind everything. There are privileges behind every move people in these positions make, and I’m not surprised.”

Nicki Minaj’s Grammy Night Posts Turn Up The Heat

Any remaining ambiguity surrounding the relationship largely disappeared following the 2026 Grammy Awards. While hosting the ceremony, Trevor Noah joked that Minaj was absent because she was at the White House with Trump discussing “very important issues,” a reference to the rapper’s increasingly controversial political associations. The joke quickly made headlines, but it was Nicki’s response afterward that pushed the conversation into new territory.

Taking to X, Nicki fired back at Noah, questioning his sexuality and posting a series of messages aimed at multiple public figures. Among them was a jab at Lizzo, whose weight-loss journey had been the subject of public conversation for months. In one of the night’s most widely circulated posts, Nicki mocked the singer, writing that Lizzo had “lost 300 lbs just to sell 300 albums.” The comment immediately sparked backlash online, with critics accusing Nicki of body-shaming. Supporters defended the remark as part of her broader response to critics and media personalities.

Lizzo Addresses The Feud Through Her Music

Rather than respond with a lengthy social media rant or a series of direct attacks, Lizzo chose a different route. In 2026, she leaned into the controversy while promoting her music, using Minaj’s viral Grammy-night jab as part of her rollout. The singer shared an alternate version of her title track “B*tch” that many listeners interpreted as a response to the rapper. In particular, her lyrics such as “Used to be the biggest fan, then I lost weight” and “Crazy thing is, if you knew me, you would like me” quickly circulated online. Lizzo never explicitly named Nicki in the song; the references were difficult for fans to ignore, given the public tension that had developed between them.

She later expanded on her perspective during an appearance on Drink Champs, where she suggested that the public’s fascination with conflict often fuels celebrity feuds. “We as women, we collab with each other. But I’ll say another thing: Fighting sells,” Lizzo explained. “It’s true. Beef sells more than anything these days. And you see the reaction. When I put out positive music and when I talk about loving everybody, I get roasted. They look at me like, ‘Not now, Lizzo. Don’t hit us with that positivity sh*t.’ I’ve literally read them say, ‘We don’t want that empowering sh*t right now.’ Not fans, but just people on the Internet. It’s the general consensus of humans. Everybody is tussling.”

Whether fans accepted that explanation is another story.

The feud also exists within a pattern that has followed Nicki Minaj throughout much of the last decade. The femcee superstar has found herself at odds with a growing list of artists and public figures, including Megan Thee Stallion, Cardi B, Latto, Remy Ma, Miley Cyrus, and even media personalities such as Joe Budden and Ebro Darden. Some of those conflicts stemmed from perceived disrespect, others from competition, criticism, or comments made in interviews and on social media. Regardless of the cause, public disputes have become an increasingly familiar part of Nicki’s public narrative, making Lizzo one of several in her crosshairs.

That’s part of what makes the feud so surprising. Lizzo spent years speaking about Nicki Minaj with genuine admiration, often crediting her influence on women in music. The idea that she’d eventually find herself trading indirect shots with one of her former inspirations would’ve seemed unlikely not long ago. Yet, that’s exactly where the story landed. Respect slowly unraveled, turning an unlikely pairing into one of the more unexpected celebrity feuds of the past few years.

After the game, Rihanna and Rocky were spotted out and about in New York. The two were even taking some shots at the basketball court, as fans watched on in amazement. It appeared to be a phenomenal night for the entire city, as the NBA Finals jubilation was starting to take hold.

In a separate fit check video that does not feature Rocky, Rihanna could be seen flaunting the love that she has for her man. As you will see in the clip below, she was even reading his recent spread in the physical edition of VIBE.

Rihanna has been accompanying Rocky on his Don’t Be Dumb Tour as of late, and there is no denying that the support has been well received. The artist isn’t staying in a suite either. Instead, she is front and center at each show, where fans can see her and take videos.

Their latest outing in New York City comes on an off day for the tour, and it is certainly good timing considering the Knicks’ current NBA Finals predicament.

As it stands, the Knicks are up 3-1 and can finish off the series as of Saturday night in San Antonio. However, the Spurs are going to be motivated to make sure that doesn’t happen.

Over the last few months, there has been discourse about whether or not rap is in a good place right now, and if the current youth movement can someday replace the Big Three. Drake, J. Cole, and Kendrick Lamar continue to dominate the conversation. However, Baby Keem is trying to stake his claim for the throne.

While speaking to Elsie not Elise, Keem was asked about the Spotify Hip-Hop’s Next Leaders campaign, which named him as someone to watch. As you will hear, Keem isn’t interested in being lumped in with the genre’s youth. Instead, he sees himself as someone who is already better than the Big Three.

Baby Keem Showcases His Drive

“I don’t want to be the best of the weakest, I want to be the best of the best,” Keem explained. “And that should be the mentality of everybody coming up.”

It is certainly a bold claim, but in a competitive genre like hip-hop, this is the kind of mentality that you need to be coming with; otherwise, you will get eaten alive.

While most will disagree that Keem is anywhere near the Big Three in terms of talent, prestige, and discography, it is admirable for him to have that ambition. He’s supposed to feel as though he is the best. If he didn’t, then it would show in his music.

Having said that, during a recent episode of Joe and Jada, Jadakiss made it clear that Drake has every right to diss Khaled. At the time, Fat Joe wasn’t on board, especially given his friendship with Khaled.

On the most recent episode of Joe and Jada, it was confirmed that Khaled isn’t happy with Jadakiss right now. Jada responded to this, noting that he is a neutral observer and simply tells it as he sees it.

“They said DJ Khaled got mad at me, Khaled, I love you,” Jadakiss said. “I’m not taking no sides, I’m just giving my opinions on both sides, this is Hip Hop.”

DJ Khaled At Odds With Jadakiss

As for Fat Joe, he is ready to play peacekeeper in all of this, if need be. In fact, Fat Joe wants to repair the relationship between Khaled and Drake, once and for all.

“I’m gonna say to whoever is down with Drake, I say this out of love, I’m reaching out as the big brother and say let’s fix it, I’m extending my hand to end this Drake and DJ Khaled situation,” Fat Joe said.

While it is admirable for Fat Joe to offer such a thing, we’re not so sure Drake and Khaled are very interested in reconciliation right now. Either way, you have to appreciate Jadakiss for keeping it real.

This subsequently led to discourse online, with some Drake fans popping off on the artist for downgrading his lifestyle. Rick Ross subsequently got into it with Uncle Murda and 50 Cent, which led to some hilarious Instagram stories.

Now, Ross is explaining exactly why he needed to fly commercial. As it turns out, this had nothing to do with affordability or the artist’s financial situation. Instead, it had everything to do with his own private jet’s upgrade schedule.

As he explains in the video above, he is having Starlink internet installed on his private jet. Consequently, it is out of commission right now, and he has to fly commercial in the interim.

Whether or not fans are going to believe the artist is another question entirely. In today’s day and age, everyone is constantly approaching situations with a heightened level of skepticism. This has led to believable stories being dismissed as entirely incredible. If you look at the comments on Live Bitez, you will see exactly what we are talking about.

Quite frankly, the fact that this has become such an issue is quite silly. Rick Ross is entitled to fly commercial whenever he wants. Sure, it goes against what he’s said about his lifestyle in the past, but these things happen. Whether or not more artists jump on the anti-Ross bandwagon now, remains to be seen.
