Police Attempt to Arrest Nicki Minaj in Amsterdam for Alleged Drug Possession

 

In a dramatic turn of events on Saturday, authorities in Amsterdam attempted to arrest rap superstar Nicki Minaj for alleged drug possession. The incident unfolded on Instagram Live and was further documented through a series of posts on X (formerly Twitter) shared by the artist.

The Grammy-nominated rapper, 41, was confronted by an official at what appeared to be an airport. The officer stated that Minaj needed to be taken into custody for allegedly “carrying drugs,” a charge she vehemently denied. "I’m not going in there. I need a lawyer present," Minaj protested in the live video.

Despite her initial resistance, Minaj eventually complied and was seen entering a police vehicle. Her primary concern was the impact on her scheduled performance in Manchester, UK, as part of her Pink Friday 2 World Tour. An officer reassured her that efforts would be made to get her to the concert as soon as possible .

Minaj took to X to express her frustrations, revealing that authorities claimed to have found marijuana among her belongings and needed to weigh the pre-rolls. "Now they said they found weed & that another group of ppl have to come here to weigh the pre-rolls," she tweeted. She accused security of taking her bags without consent, asserting that the pre-rolls belonged to her security team. "Keep in mind they took my bags without consent. My security has already advised them those pre-rolls belong to him," she added.

In a video on Instagram, an official informed Minaj that all her bags required searching, prompting her to question why the search wasn’t conducted before boarding the plane. The officer responded that a random check had been performed, but now a thorough search was necessary.

Amsterdam allows individuals to possess up to 5 grams of cannabis legally, but it remains unclear if other substances were found. As of the latest updates, Minaj posted on X that she had been taken to a police precinct to make a statement about her security team.

Page Six reached out to Minaj's representatives and Amsterdam authorities for further comments but had not received a response by the time of publication. The situation's resolution remains uncertain, including whether Minaj will face any legal consequences or if her Manchester concert will proceed as planned.

Minaj's followers and fans are eagerly awaiting more information, while the incident has sparked widespread discussion on social media.

Nicki Minaj Makes History As She Earns Second Diamond Single With ‘Bang Bang’

 

Nicki Minaj has achieved another milestone in her illustrious career, earning her second diamond single with the hit song “Bang Bang.” The 2014 track, which features Jessie J and Ariana Grande, has been confirmed by the RIAA to have sold over 10 million units as of May 23, 2024.

Initially released in July 2014, “Bang Bang” quickly rose to popularity, going gold (500,000 units) just three months later in October 2014. This diamond certification marks a significant achievement, showcasing the song's enduring appeal over the past decade.

This is Minaj's second single to reach diamond status. Her 2011 hit “Super Bass” received the same certification earlier this year on March 29, 2024. The recognition of these singles underscores Minaj's continued influence and success in the music industry.

Minaj's latest accolade places her behind only Cardi B in terms of diamond singles among female rappers. Cardi B achieved her third diamond single with “I Like It,” featuring Bad Bunny, in December 2021

The success of “Bang Bang” is a testament to Minaj’s staying power and popularity. Her contributions to the track, alongside Jessie J and Ariana Grande, have cemented its place as a fan favorite and a commercial powerhouse.

In related news, Minaj's ex, Safaree Samuels, recently commented on his cameo in the “Super Bass” music video. He humorously reflected on his dance moves in a tweet on May 21, expressing disbelief and amusement at his performance.

Additionally, Minaj has been vocal against the unauthorized use of AI in music. She condemned an AI-generated version of “Super Bass” that circulated online, expressing her disdain for such alterations. Last month, Minaj joined other artists in supporting a campaign by the Artists’ Rights Alliance to protect musicians from the misuse of artificial intelligence in the industry.

Minaj’s continuous advocacy for artists' rights and her historic achievements in music highlight her prominent role in shaping the future of the industry.

Tory Lanez’s Appeal Suffers Another Setback As Prosecutors’ Request Causes Delay

  

Tory Lanez’s appeal of his conviction for shooting Megan Thee Stallion has encountered another delay. The court has granted the government's latest request for more time to respond to Lanez's appeal brief, causing a further setback in the case.

The Canadian rapper, whose real name is Daystar Peterson, filed his opening brief in late February, outlining arguments for appeal based on “Erroneous Admission of Evidence” and “Prosecutorial Misconduct.” This 103-page brief echoed many points from his earlier motion for a new trial, which Los Angeles County Superior Court Judge David Herriford denied in May.

Initially, prosecutors were given until May 28 to respond to Lanez’s brief, following a request for more time in March. On May 21, the prosecution requested another extension, which was granted on May 23. They now have until June 27 to file their answer.

The delay prolongs the appeal process, which was hoped to conclude by the end of the year, as per Law & Crime reporter Meghann Cuniff. Cuniff noted that the brief builds on a habeas petition from December, featuring a declaration from Lanez’s driver. The driver claimed he saw Lanez trying to take a gun away from Megan’s friend, Kelsey Harris, before the shooting but did not see who fired the shots.

Lanez was sentenced to ten years in prison in September 2023, three years less than the prosecution sought. He faced a maximum of 22 years and eight months and will be deported to Canada after serving his sentence.

The case drew significant attention, particularly after a strong statement from Megan Thee Stallion was read in court by District Attorney Kathy Ta. Megan condemned Lanez for spreading false narratives and exacerbating her trauma through his music and social media campaigns.

“He not only shot me, he made a mockery of my trauma,” Megan wrote. “He lied to anyone that would listen and paid bloggers to disseminate false information about the case.”

As the legal battle continues, the extended timeline adds to the anticipation surrounding the final resolution of this high-profile case.

YG Calls Out Drake for Reference in New Single "Weird"

 

 - Compton rapper YG has seemingly responded to being name-dropped in Drake's diss track "Family Matters" with a new single titled "Weird." The track appears to address Drake's mention of YG during the rapper's ongoing feud with Kendrick Lamar. On "Family Matters," Drake used YG's name to discredit Lamar, suggesting that YG was affiliated with a gang while Lamar was not.

In "Weird," YG raps, "When it's smoke, don't ever mention my name (mention my name). You gon' have me jeopardizin' my fame, jeopardizin' the gang, jeopardizin' where you hang, n**ga." Though YG doesn't explicitly name anyone, the context suggests he is reacting to Drake's mention of him in the feud. This indirect response highlights YG's displeasure at being dragged into a conflict that he had no part in, particularly involving another West Coast artist.

Despite this tension, YG and Drake have a history of collaboration. Drake was featured on YG's 2014 single "Who Do You Love?" from the album *My Krazy Life*, which peaked at 54 on the Billboard Hot 100. The duo also collaborated on the 2016 track "Why You Always Hatin?" which peaked at number 62. YG supported Drake as the opening act for the 2016 Drake vs. Lil Wayne tour, showcasing a previously friendly relationship.

However, YG's bond with Kendrick Lamar runs deeper, rooted in their shared Compton origins and mutual respect for each other's work. In a decade-old MTV interview, YG praised Lamar, stating, "I knew Kendrick before I blew up, he knew me before he blew up... it's all love and respect." Additionally, DJ Mustard, YG's longtime collaborator, produced Lamar's Drake diss track "Not Like Us," reinforcing YG's alignment with the West Coast in this feud.

Phillip Schofield's Cryptic Social Media Message Sparks Speculation of TV Return

 

Disgraced This Morning star Phillip Schofield has broken his year-long social media silence, igniting rumors of a potential television comeback. The former presenter, who stepped down from ITV after admitting to an "unwise but not illegal" affair with a younger male colleague, has been out of the public eye since the scandal.

Last week, Schofield posted a picture of his dog Alfie watching F1, accompanied by the caption: "Thankfully, Alfie is a big @f1 fan." This seemingly innocuous post has sparked a wave of speculation about his return to television. Notably, his Instagram bio now reads, "Nothing beats kindness, it sits quietly behind all things," suggesting a renewed focus on positivity and resilience.

PR expert Edward Coram-James, CEO of Go Up, believes that Schofield's year-long silence and disciplined handling of the scandal have preserved his personal brand. "It takes serious, serious discipline to go radio silent for as long as Schofield did," Coram-James said. "His discipline allowed him to go through the crisis without compromising his personal brand."

Schofield's reputation as the 'king of daytime TV' may have taken a hit, but Coram-James argues that his consistent kindness and avoidance of public conflict have left his image relatively intact. "Even in his darkest hour, he avoided lending an unkind word, even to his most vocal detractors," he noted.

.

Schofield was recently seen with Declan Donnelly, sparking further rumors of a possible appearance on I'm A Celebrity. Coram-James suggests that Schofield's handling of the fallout makes him a valuable asset for television networks. "There are many ways that Schofield could have reacted that could have cemented his fate for the worse. Instead, his behaviour during and after the scandal is a textbook example of how people should act in the face of PR disaster."

As British TV channels struggle against the dominance of American streaming giants, familiar faces with a wealth of experience like Schofield's could be crucial for maintaining viewership. Coram-James concluded, "ITV needs Schofield a whole lot more than Schofield needs ITV."

With industry insiders hinting at offers lining up for the presenter, it seems Phillip Schofield might be gearing up for a comeback, showing that even in the face of scandal, redemption and a second chance are possible.

Drake Continues Co-Signing Octavian, This Time For ‘Chicago Freestyle’-Borrowing Track

 

Drake has once again shown support for UK rapper Octavian, highlighting the burgeoning artist's latest track on his Instagram Story. The new song, released on May 24, features a beat that samples Drake and Giveon’s 2020 hit "Chicago Freestyle."

This isn’t the first time Drake has co-signed Octavian. Back in January 2018, Drake gave the London-based rapper a significant boost by rapping his song at a Golden Globes afterparty. Octavian recalled the event, saying, “I woke up one day and it was just like Drake singing the lyrics. Everything grew from there.”

Octavian acknowledged that while Drake’s endorsement was helpful, it wasn’t the sole reason for his rise in popularity. “All it did was help the fans that I already had confirm the fact they liked the song,” he told High Snobiety.

In response to Drake’s latest shout-out, Octavian reposted the Canadian rapper’s Instagram Story with a dagger and black heart emoji, showing his appreciation.

In other news, Drake has also collaborated with St. Louis rapper Sexyy Red on her new album "In Sexyy We Trust," released on the same day. The song “U My Everything” features a verse from Drake, produced by Tay Keith, which intriguingly includes a beat from Metro Boomin that was initially created to mock Drake amid rumors of him undergoing plastic surgery.

The track's lyrics reference the ongoing rumors and Metro Boomin’s “BBL Drizzy” beat, which had previously stirred the pot when the producer released it on SoundCloud as pa rt of their feud. Metro Boomin even held a contest for the best freestyle over the beat, offering a $10,000 cash prize.

Despite the playful jabs, Drake’s involvement with both Octavian and Sexyy Red demonstrates his continued influence and willingness to support and collaborate with rising talents in the industry.

Millie Bobby Brown and Jake Bongiovi Marry in Secret Ceremony

Millie Bobby Brown, the 20-year-old star of "Stranger Things," and Jake Bongiovi, the 22-year-old model and son of rock legend Jon Bon Jovi, have reportedly tied the knot in a secret ceremony. The couple, who got engaged 14 months ago, exchanged vows last weekend in the United States.

Sources revealed that the intimate event was attended by close family members, including Jake's father, Jon Bon Jovi, and Millie's parents. A source told *The Sun*, “Millie and Jake quietly said their vows in America last weekend. They are planning a bigger ceremony in the US later this year but now they have legally married and done all the paperwork.".

The couple began dating in 2021 and announced their engagement in April 2023. Millie shared the happy news with an Instagram post featuring a photo of her in a white lace dress and showcasing a diamond ring, captioned with a Taylor Swift lyric: “I've loved you three summers now, honey, I want ’em all.” Jake also shared the news, simply captioning his post "Forever."

During a March 2024 appearance on "The Tonight Show With Jimmy Fallon," Millie recounted the dramatic proposal story, which involved almost losing the engagement ring during a diving trip. Jake had hidden the ring in a shell, which fell into the ocean when Millie tried to show it to him. Jake heroically retrieved it, mirroring a "cinematic" moment.

Millie expressed her excitement about planning the wedding with Jake, saying, “I have loved every second of it. It’s been really an unbelievable journey. Every time we have a new wedding meeting, Jake and I take a picture to capture the moment of the planning process.”

Fans and followers eagerly anticipate the larger celebration later this year, where the couple will celebrate with more friends and family.

TRAVIS SCOTT: LAST REMAINING ASTROWORLD WRONGFUL DEATH LAWSUIT SETTLED

 

Travis Scott has settled the last remaining wrongful death lawsuit stemming from the 2021 Astroworld concert tragedy, which claimed ten lives, including that of 9-year-old Ezra Blount.

Rolling Stone reports that Scott West, attorney for the Blount family, confirmed the settlement in an email on Thursday (May 23). The agreement involves Scott and LiveNation, among others. Blount was the youngest victim of the fatal crowd crush during Scott’s performance at the festival.

“The family will continue its journey to heal, but never forget the joy that Ezra brought to everyone around him,” West stated. Terms of the settlement were not disclosed.

This settlement arrives just ahead of a court appearance for Travis Scott in September 2024, when jury selection for the trial was set to begin. The Blount case was scheduled to be heard before State District Judge Kristen Hawkins on September 10, 2024. However, efforts by the Blount family to expedite the case were thwarted by scheduling and logistical issues.

Blount’s lawsuit was one of ten filed against Travis Scott and other involved parties following the Astroworld tragedy. While all other wrongful death suits have been settled confidentially, approximately 2,400 injury cases remain active.

In March, Scott’s attorneys argued that the responsibility for safety at the festival lay with the event organizers and venue staff, not the performing artists. Daniel Petrocelli, one of Scott’s lawyers, emphasized that artists do not have the expertise in concert safety measures.

“Performing artists, even those who engage in certain promotional activities, have no inherent expertise or specialized knowledge in concert safety measures, venue security protocols, or site-design,” Petrocelli wrote. He added that Scott and his team supported festival organizers' efforts to mitigate risks, including removing certain rides and attractions, and ended the show as directed when concerns about safety arose.

The Astroworld tragedy has had a lasting impact on the music industry and concert safety protocols. The resolution of the Blount family’s lawsuit marks a significant step in the ongoing legal fallout from the incident.

Featuring hit tracks like “Cannon” and “Georgia...Bush,” Dedication 2 showcased Wayne's lyrical skills and showcased his versatility as an artist. It was well-received by fans and critics alike, and still remains a fan favorite to this day.
