One of the major topics inside the music industry this week pertains to Houston stand-out Megan Thee Stallion, who is currently battling her record label 1501 Certified Entertainment and its main man Carl Crawford. According to the rapper, she is unable to release new music, which has led her to file a lawsuit against the label. Some people are saying that she should not be complaining and that she simply should have paid more attention to the contract terms while others claim that she was unfairly locked into the deal. On the complete other side of the spectrum, Wendy Williams appears to have legitimately no clue what’s even going on.

Speaking about the legal dispute on her popular daytime talk show, Wendy Williams attempted to bring up the drama during her Hot Topics segment. “Meghan Thee Trainor is another one going through it,” she began, catching herself about midway through the following sentence. “She’s twenty-five now but she was only twenty when she signed her first– I mean, Megan…,” added Wendy before giving up altogether.

We all make mistakes here and there but, Wendy, this is pretty embarrassing. Her audience laughed at the mistake, giving the host a few seconds to shake her head at the flub. At least she was close…

We can all come together and collectively agree that retirement plans were a farfetched idea for Nicki Minaj. Now that the rapper is officially Mrs. Kenneth Petty, it seems that Nicki has let the stress of public opinions and preparing for her nuptials dissipate and now she’s ready to get back into the studio.

Last week, the Queen rapper returned to social media after month hiatus and was featured on Meghan Trainor’s new pop single “Nice to Meet Ya.” Nicki thought it was time for her to preview music of her own, so on Monday (February 3), she shared a video of herself working on music in the studio with her husband by her side. Initially, fans were excited to hear what Nicki had in the works, but when rumblings about an alleged disrespectful Rosa Parks line circulated, people were suddenly outraged.

“All you b*tches Rosa Parks, uh-oh, get your ass up,” Nicki rapped. February 4 is Rosa Parks’s birthday, and many believed that Nicki was taking a jab at the Civil Rights leader. TMZ reports that Nicki had no intention of disrespecting Parks and the timing of the lyric was just a coincidence. The outlet’s “sources” confirmed what most people believed: Nicki just wanted to give a preview of her new music and it ended up being witty Rosa Park rhymes delivered at the wrong time. If you haven’t heard Nicki’s snippet yet, check it out below.

When it was announced on Tuesday that pop singer Meghan Trainer would be dropping a collab with one Ms. Nicki Minaj (or should we say, Mrs. Petty), some were confused. Didn’t Nicki announce her retirement from music this past September, much to the dismay of Barz around the world? While Nicki proved she wasn’t totally out of the game when she joined forces with Latin music star, Karol G in November for “Tusa,” this latest collab, titled “Nice To Meet Ya” begs the question of just how serious she was about that fateful tweet. Meghan Trainor also revealed that she wasn’t quite sure what possessed Nicki to make such a claim, when one of the hosts on The Real, Jeannie Mai, asked Meghan on Thursday’s show just how she “brought Nicki Minaj out of retirement.”

“I think that was just a fun tweet one day,” Meghan confessed. “She definitely—thank God—didn’t retire.” While this is becoming more and more evident, the reason for Nicki’s collab with Meghan’s stems from one specific detail they have in common. “I wrote this song and we knew, ‘Okay, this is the best one. We gotta run with this as a single,” Meghan explained. “And then, my management started managing [Nicki] and I was like, ‘Do you think we could play it for her?’ And then they did and I was like, ‘That’s just a bucket list dream-come-true if she even hears my song. And they said [that] she likes it and she wanted to write a rap to it.” Meghan then imitates crying to show how unreal the moment was for her before another host asks her what her experience was like working with Nicki.

“Unbelievable, unbelievable,” Meghan responds. “We actually shot a music video together and I was freaking out—more nervous than being at the Grammys. This was my moment.” When asked what she learned about Nicki on set, Meghan says, “that she’s funny and really chill and hilarious. I made her laugh and I was like, ‘Oh my god!’ I’m funny.'” Meghan then describes a very heartfelt moment they shared together. “But she’s so real. I wanted to say one thing to her and I was like, ‘You’re an amazing songwriter. Everything you do is amazing but I just want to tell you, from a songwriter to a songwriter, you’re amazing.’ And she high-fived me!” Meghan and Nicki’s track, “Nice To Meet Ya” drops everywhere Friday, along with Meghan’s album, Treat Myself.

The Barbz empire came to a sudden halt when Nicki Minaj announced her retirement from music towards the end of last year. Granted, the Queen emcee did confirm that she wasn't completely removing herself from the realm of rap, as we saw evident with her Karol G collaboration titled "Tusa" in November 2019. Well, it now looks like she'll be returning once again by pairing with a very peculiar collaborator: pop sensation Meghan Trainor.
