Doja Cat has been a target for Nicki Minaj's rabid fanbase, aka the Barbz, on more than one occasion. Each time she's taken it stride, and she's constantly shown love for Nicki, citing her influence not only on her personally but on the rap game as a whole. Now, the Barbz may be surprised (but hopefully pleasantly so!) to find out that Nicki Minaj will be making an appearance on Doja Cat's "Say So" remix.

"Say So" appeared on Doja Cat's Hot Pink album, and it wasn't released early as a single but eventually became one, as the song proceeded to take over the internet, resulting in Doja's biggest hit to date. It became her first record to break the top 10 of the Billboard 100. She would go on to release a 1970s, retro-themed music video for the record. It's already been remixed once by Snakehips, but it turns out another is on the way.
Making the major announcement twitter, Doja Cat told her fans: "CATS OUT THE BAG TWEET #SaySoRemix TO GET A SNEAK PEAK OF MY REMIX WITH @NICKIMINAJ."
She shared a visual teaser for the collab, but there's no sound available-- so get to tweeting, per Doja's instructions.
We'll keep you posted on an expected release date for the anticipated remix. Let us know if you're looking forward to it.
Courtney Stodden Exposes Chrissy Teigen For "Bullying" & "Harassing" Her In Old Tweets
Courtney Stodden put Chrissy Teigen on blast by digging up tons of old tweets in which Chrissy "bullied," "harassed," and "slut-shamed" the then-minor.
Courtney Stodden recently came across a bunch of old tweets of Chrissy Teigen's directed at her when she was still a minor, and let's just say, they don't exactly paint Chrissy in the best light. It was revealed earlier this year that Courtney and her husband of nine years, Doug Hutchison, were officially filing for divorce, after having separated already two years prior. The couple caused major controversy when they first tied the knot back in 2011, due to the fact that Courtney was 16 years old at the time, and her actor husband was 50 years old.

Now, it looks like Courtney is finally resolving a lot of her issues as she works on writing her memoir. On Tuesday, the now-25-year-old posted a video on Instagram indicating that this healing process has caused her to relive a lot of her past traumas, which apparently included getting "stalked," "bullied," "harassed," and "slut-shamed" by Chrissy Teigen on Twitter years ago when she was still a minor.

"I'm going through a lot right now behind closed doors and I'm coming to a lot of revelations I guess about the choices that I made, but also that the adults made around me when I was a minor and got married," she explains in the video, which she captioned, "A Message to Chrissy Teigen." She goes on to explain that beginning in 2011, when she was 16 and had just married Doug whom she's accused of being an alcoholic who abused her, Chrissy would allegedly tweet her "almost every single day" until sometime in 2012. "This video is definitely calling out Chrissy Teigen," Courtney declares. "She stalked me. She harassed me. She bullied me, and keep in mind, I was a minor."

"She would call me a whore, a slut, she would tell me she hated me," she continued. "Every name in the book she called me." Courtney then calls Chrissy out for her hypocrisy when she recently clapped back at some hateful comments about her body on her own Instagram photo. "I saw her in the news the other day and it was something about how she's saying people are shaming her," Courtney says. "Girl, you are a hypocrite...She was shaming me, and I was a minor. I just wish that she would've seen as an adult woman that maybe you shouldn't be hating on...a damaged teenage girl. I still see her bullying once in a while but when she comes out saying that she's stronger than people shaming her—well, you shamed a minor. An abused minor who was married to a predator at the time." She also shared several screenshots of these aforementioned tweets in a separate Instagram post.
Earlier in the video, Courtney stresses that while she and her mother have grown very close recently, she does not have a relationship with her father, who is also an alcoholic like her ex-husband allegedly is. She then addresses Chrissy directly and hopes that she'll treat her own daughter, Luna, better than Courtney was treated by her as a child. "So shame on you, Chrissy," she concludes. "You and John are great parents so I don't think you're going to sign your girl to marry a man older than John, but I hope that you can learn from this mistake because it's affected me." Chrissy has yet to respond to Courtney's accusations of online bullying.
Nicki Minaj Fans Think Meek Mill Is Shading Her Again
Meek Mill tweeted that he's ashamed of some of his former girlfriends and, of course, Nicki Minaj fans think he's speaking about her.
It doesn't matter what Meek Mill is talking about, Nicki Minaj fans will always find a way to implicate the Queen.
Meek Mill and Nicki Minaj broke up years ago but, in recent months, their feud was restored with a series of hateful tweets being thrown in both directions. Insults were aplenty during their short-lived beef reenactment and now, the Barbz are under the impression that Meek is coming for their lord and savior again.
Admitting that he's ashamed of some of his past romantic partners, the rapper's comments blew up with Nicki fans requesting some peace on this fine Wednesday.
"Every n***a got a few ugly bodies he ashamed of," retweeted Meek Mill, adding that he's even got some bad girls that he regrets ever getting with. Now, it's possible that he is actually sending some slight shade at Nicki Minaj. However, he could honestly be speaking about anybody.
"The one that gave you your career?" asked one Nicki stan in his replies. "Stop talking about Nicki, you know you miss that girl. Everybody was clowning her for dating you," said another.

Let this man live.
Post Malone Letting Fans Decide Which Cause His $1 Million Donation Will Go To
Post Malone has pledged a $1 million donation toward coronavirus relief efforts, but he needs his fans to help him choose which cause he should support.
Post Malone is putting the fate of his $1 million coronavirus relief donation in the hands of his fans, who may not have the financial means themselves to support the causes they wish to. Following the success of his live streamed Nirvana tribute concert last Friday, which helped raise over $4.3 million for the World Health Organization (WHO)'s COVID-19 Solidarity Response Fund, Posty has decided to contribute some of his own wealth to a good cause as well. On Wednesday, the singer/rapper tweeted his latest charitable venture, which lets fans decide where he should send his $1 million donation.
"Thanks to everyone that watched the stream the other day & helped raise some money & kick some ass!" he wrote. "I want to donate a million dollars but need your help doing it:)) text me 817-270-6440." According to Complex, Posty's team will personally review all the submissions that fans send to this number. The suggested causes should "aim to assist in specific areas including COVID-19 frontline responders, education, homelessness, mental health, veteran aid, and more."

"Not everyone has the ability to financially support causes that may be close to them or that have helped them in the past," the artist said in a statement. "The fans are the absolute best and I want to give them the chance to give to charities that mean something to them."
Facebook Could Revolutionize Live Concerts Amid Social Distancing Rules
Facebook might be hosting paid live streams in the future as well as a dating app.
The COVID-19 pandemic has undoubtedly made the world even more dependant on technology than ever. Without being able to leave their homes, people have had to rely on Zoom and Facetime to keep up with their friends. However, in the wake of the pandemic, the music industry has had to take a long, hard look at the future of live music. More artists have been hosting live stream concerts from their home on Instagram Live but that hasn’t been bringing in the cash the same way as actual concerts in venues.
Facebook could be leading the charge in the shift of live events. The company announced that Facebook Live will be allowing artists to charge for entry to concert live streams, which will surely prove even more profitable when the world is restored. They will also be re-introducing the Live With a feature that allows co-hosts to jump on a stream as well as live streams for online-only event pages. At this point, Facebook hasn’t set in stone just how the payment system will work for paid events.
In addition to live concerts, Facebook will also be allowing users to accept payments for classes and seminars online. Though the payment option has yet to be rolled out, they have allowed donations for non-profit organizations.

Denzel Curry & Kenny Beats’ "Unlocked" Getting Comic Book Treatment
Denzel Curry and Kenny Beats are gearing up to bring “Unlocked” to the wonderful world of comic books.
Sometimes a creative vision can be enjoyed in a variety of different ways. Kendrick Lamar‘s DAMN, for example, took on a second life with a reversed tracklist; Run The Jewels went full crazy-cat-lady with the batshit insane Meow The Jewels. Now, the dynamic duo that is Denzel Curry and Kenny Beats have decided to offer up a different take on their popular Unlocked projected, which arrived back in February complete with an extensive companion film.

Today, Denzel Curry and Kenny Beats have revealed their plans to expand on their recently established world, announcing an official Unlocked 48-page comic book and instrumental album by way of their “dark” counterparts. With Psycho Films handling the plot and illustrations from Sam Hochman, Joey Prosser, Forrest Whaley, Justin Johnson, Chaz Bottoms, Malik Bolton, Rachel Headlam, Borboev Shakhnazer, and Asekov Tilek, it’s likely that Unlocked will continue to take on a life of its own. Should you be interested, check out the trailer below, and be sure to place your orders right here.
If that wasn’t enough, the pair will also be delivering an instrumental version of the album, as Kenny Beats believes that the beats can stand comfortably on their own. “UNLOCKED is so much more than a few songs, it’s a feeling we all have,” Kenny told Complex. “For the first time I’m releasing my instrumentals because I truly believe these beats can live on their own. Put them on while you read the comic and stay tuned for part 2!” Look for that to land on May 1st.
Roc Nation Attempts To Remove Deepfake Audio Of Jay-Z From YouTube: Report
For the first time ever, a deepfake audio made from A.I. generated speech has been removed off of YouTube due to a copyright claim.
Jay-Z and Roc Nation may have just made history. For the first time ever, a deepfake audio simulating Jay-Z's voice has been removed from YouTube off of a copyright claim.
aYouTube channel Vocal Synthesis focuses on A.I. generated speech for the use of audio deepfakes. Andy Baio, the founder of XOXO Festival, explained the scenario and mentioned that Roc Nation LLC filed a copyright claim against Vocal Synthesis to remove videos with deepfake audio of Jay-Z from their channel.
"Over the weekend, for the first time, the anonymous creator of Vocal Synthesis received a copyright claim on YouTube, taking two of his videos offline with deepfaked audio of Jay-Z reciting the “To Be or Not To Be” soliloquy from Hamlet and Billy Joel’s “We Didn’t Start the Fire.”
According to the creator, the copyright claims were filed by Roc Nation LLC with an unusual reason for removal: “This content unlawfully uses an AI to impersonate our client’s voice.”
The deepfake videos include a fake Jay-Z reading the Book Of Genesis and the Navy Seal copypasta meme. Though VS did get the memo from Roc Nation that said "this content unlawfully uses an AI to impersonate our client’s voice," a representative from YouTube explained why they re-instated it.
"After reviewing the DMCA takedown requests for the videos in question, we determined that they were incomplete,” a Google spokesperson tells The Verge. “Pending additional information from the claimant, we have temporarily reinstated the videos.”
The videos themselves clearly state that the vocals are generated through A.I. but this also might mark the first time any celebrity has filed a copyright claim over deepfake audio.

DaBaby’s "Nasty" Earned Ashanti An Impressive Hot 100 Achievement
Thanks to DaBaby’s Ashanti-featured song, “Nasty,” entering the Billboard Hot 100, the R&B singer officially has an entry in the chart from each of the last three decades.
DaBaby‘s song “Nasty,” was making waves before it was even released due to its sample of Ashanti‘s 2002 hit, “Baby,” and now, its earned the R&B singer an entry in the Billboard Hot 100 in each of the last three decades (2000s, 2010s, 2020s). Ashanti is certainly not a newcomer to the music scene, having launched her career nearly two decades ago and going on to become one of the most renowned female R&B artists of the early aughts. Although she was arguably in her prime in the early-to-mid 2000s, she continues to make music up to this day, and her latest Billboard feat proves that she’s got major staying power.

Ashanti shared the news herself on Instagram, taking a screenshot of a tweet from the Twitter account, @chartdata. “@ashanti has now earned a Hot 100 entry in each of the last three decades (2000s, 2010s, 2020s),” the tweet reads, which she shared with a series of emojis in an Instagram post on Tuesday.
Ashanti had plenty of hits on the Hot 100 in the 2000s, with her single, “Foolish,” off her self-titled debut album and her collaboration with Ja Rule titled, “Always On Time,” both peaking at No. 1 in 2002. “What’s Luv?” with Fat Joe made it to No. 2 that same year, as did another Ja Rule joint called, “Rock Wit U (Awww Baby).” A myriad of her other hits made the Hot 100 from 2002-2005, along with a few entries in 2008-2009. Her only entry in the 2010s was “Start This Sh*t Off Right” with Lil Wayne and Mack Maine, which peaked at No. 76in 2018. So far, “Nasty,” which also features frequent DaBaby collaborator, Megan Thee Stallion, is her only entry in the 2020s, but the decade is still young. Congrats to this talented artist on her impressive accomplishment!
