Doja Cat was so impressed the first time she heard her new collaboration that the other artist's verse actually made her scream. During an Instagram live recently, Doja decided to share some exciting news about a new song she has coming out soon with a mystery artist that she knows her fans are fond of. Perpetually incapable of being serious, the hilarious rapper made fart noises with her tongue between every other word while she made the announcement.
"Hey. So guess what?" she began, pausing every second or so to produce the silly sound effect. "Guess what’s going on? Check this out. I am gonna be doing a really cool song with somebody that you guys really like." While she provided her fans with virtually no clues to indicate who she might be referring to other than the fact that most of them "really like" this artist, she did go on to praise their undeniable talent. In fact, this cryptic collaborator's verse for their track was so good, it caused Doja physical pain. "When I heard the verse, I was screaming really loud," she revealed. "My throat hurt so bad.”

While this could still describe anyone with even an ounce of talent, many fans in the replies of the reposted video were hoping for Nicki Minaj. However, Doja has had a complicated history with Nick's stans, also known as Barbz. Despite praising her fellow MC on multiple occasions and insisting that she is "the biggest Nicki Minaj fan," the Barbz invented this notion that Doja feels differently. If a Doja Cat x Nicki Minaj song were to come out, it'd be sure to throw the Barbz for a loop.
Who do you think (or hope) Doja is collaborating with?
"Scream" Is Officially Getting A Reboot
Apparently Wes Craven’s classic “Scream” will be the latest horror film to get the reboot treatment.
That old adage “when in doubt, reboot it” has continued to be a tried and true Hollywood mantra, as evidenced by this latest development in the Scream franchise. According to a report from Variety, the classic 1996 horror flick is set to be remade in the not-too-distant future. Directors Matthew Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett, who came together to helm last year’s fan-favorite Ready Or Not, have already been enlisted to bring Ghostface back into the fold.

As of now, further news about the project remains relatively scarce. It should be noted that Scream, originally directed by horror icon Wes Craven, went on to spawn three sequels and influence the slasher genre as we have come to know it. Suffice it to say, the original’s legacy leaves some big shoes to fill, capable though Bettinelli-Olpin and Gillett may be. Unfortunately, they’ll have to contend with the side-effects of reboot fatigue, a phenomenon that has plagued the film industry for years now — especially flagrant in the horror genre.
As of now, this newly unveiled Scream reboot is set to be distributed by Spyglass Media Group, which ultimately secured the rights from the Weinstein Company in 2018. Given that many long-running franchises have become “soft reboots,” bringing back original characters and actors from the original films, it’s uncertain whether Scream 2.0 will bother wiping the slate clean at all. Either way, expect Ghostface to wreak havoc all the same, slicing through his victims with the precision of a Shaolin warrior. Tony Starks would be proud.
