During the conversation, which starts at the 2:20 mark, she described the choice as "insane.""It's not that you go to a doctor, a professional person. No, it's some random person," she told Budden. Minaj explained she was inspired by the types of derrieres often celebrated in hip-hop. "[Lil'] Wayne, he was always talking about big booties. Wayne would have a new chick in the studio every session. It was always a new big booty there. They were his muses," she said. Their presence affected how she saw herself. "I didn't feel complete or good enough," she said. "This is what you're supposed to look like in the rap culture, and I don't look like that." According to a 2020 report from the <a href="https://www.plasticsurgery.org/news/plastic-surgery-statistics">American Society of Plastic Surgeons</a> (ASPS), the demand for butt implants rose by 22% between 2019 and 2020. That statistic only accounts for procedures performed by ASPS member surgeons, so the prevalence of illegal procedures, like Minaj's, could make that number much higher.Minaj said she was not instructed to change the appearance of her butt by anyone but did endure friendly teasing as the "little sister" of <keyword id="13364156" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="ymcmb" source="Orion">YMCMB</keyword>, the rap collective affiliated with Lil Wayne's record label <keyword id="13364155" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="young-money" source="Orion">Young Money</keyword> Entertainment."I think they said stuff sometimes jokingly. But to a young girl or up and coming rapper or anything, when it's from someone like Lil' Wayne, it matters. You know?" Minaj said. "Even if they're joking, they don't know that the person that is there in that room with them is not finding it funny." <div type="image" title="Nicki Minaj" height="3000" width="1738" msid="90160519" hostid="261"></div>She now understands the impact of their words."A lot of times, you don't know how insecure a person is or what their insecurities are. So when you say certain things, around women especially, you can never take them back," Minaj said.She continued: "So where they might have been playing with me probably thinking 'she's confident, she's good in her own skin,' they don't know that I always had that insecurity.""They're just joking. They didn't mean any harm. But it wasn't a joke to me," the rapper added.When Budden asked if she holds herself accountable for influencing the butt-augmentation trend, <a href="https://www.insider.com/nicki-minaj-kenneth-petty-baby-born-first-child-2020-10">the mom of one</a> admitted she does. "I was one of the first people saying 'oh I'm not these people's parents,' but now I get it. I look at it from a different perspective now. Because superstars inadvertently become role models no matter what," Minaj said.Listen to Minaj's full conversation with Budden below.<a href="https://soundcloud.com/joebuddenpodcast" title="The Joe Budden Podcast" target="_blank" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;">The Joe Budden Podcast</a> · <a href="https://soundcloud.com/joebuddenpodcast/a-conversation-with-nicki" title="'A Conversation with Nicki Minaj and Joe Budden'" target="_blank" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;">'A Conversation with Nicki Minaj and Joe Budden'</a>

"Couple of them was like, 'Damn, Melyssa Ford gotta be sick.' And I was like, 'Not my co-host!' I didn't know nothing about that, which made this story all the funnier for me because, damn, you gotta be sick to your stomach."Ford, who dated Dillard dated in 2011 and 2012, laughed at Budden's quip but said she was actually pleased for her former flame. "No, I'm happy for him," she said. However, she was unable to stop Budden and his co-hosts piling on."You hate him!" said QueenzFlip. "He won $83 million. What we talkin' bout?"

"What the fuck are you talking about, you fucking idiot? Everybody is here for your stupid ass who ain't put out music in ages, and you can't even confirm if there's new music coming?"Ocean, whose most recent studio album, "Blonde," was released in 2016, teased fans at Coachella with a new album, telling the crowd that one is coming but "not right now.""Get the fuck out of here," added Budden. "Y'all could have got DaBaby for a quarter of the price."Elsewhere on the podcast, Budden also called Ocean a "scammer" for the way he exited his record contract with Def Jam in 2016."I think most of the scams are genius," said the "Pump It Up" rapper. "He'll always wear the scammer tag for me. That fucked up a lot of artists, he didn't care. Lost a lot of artist revenue streams, took Apple out the game, he didn't care."Budden accused Ocean of dropping his visual album "Endless" only to satisfy his contract with the label, before releasing his sophomore album "Blonde" independently the very next day."Apple exclusive deals where Apple comes and pays a shit-ton of money to come have the project exclusive to Apple for a week, two weeks, something like that," he explained. "Frank Ocean was in his Def Jam contract so he could not do that. He had one album left to deliver to Def Jam and they had a hard time negotiating around that.""It's rumored that Apple gave Frank Ocean the money to give Def Jam to even everything out and handed them an album, and then he was out of that deal," he added. "But then the very next day, he put out the other album on Apple," he added.

<ul class="summary-list"><li>Nicki Minaj and Megan Thee Stallion have released diss tracks about each other.</li><li>Charlamagne tha God criticized "Big Foot" and Minaj's lyrics on "The Breakfast Club."</li></ul>Hip-hop had one hell of a weekend.The<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/timeline-of-nicki-minaj-megan-thee-stallion-feud-2024-1"> latest celebrity feud</a> is between Megan Thee Stallion and Nicki Minaj, and hip-hop experts are already weighing in on who won — so far.It all started on Friday when Megan dissed Nicki in her new single, "Hiss," prompting Nicki to reply with her own track. Although Megan didn't name anyone while taking a bevy of pointed jabs in the lyrics, many fans believed one line targeted Nicki Minaj and her husband, Kenneth Petty."These hoes don't be mad at Megan/these hoes mad at Megan's Law," Megan, 28, rapped. "I don't really know what the problem is/but I guarantee y'all don't want me to start."In the US, <a target="_blank" class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/stories-behind-us-laws-that-are-named-after-people-2018-12">Megan's Law</a> requires all states to establish sex offender registries. Minaj's husband, <a target="_blank" class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/nicki-minaj-husband-kenneth-petty-sentenced-to-probation-home-detention-2022-7">Petty, is a registered sex offender</a> who previously served four years in prison after being convicted in 1995 for the attempted rape of a 16-year-old girl.Minaj, 41, appeared to take the lyric personally, prompting her to bash Megan on social media platforms for several days publicly. Minaj referred to Megan as a<a target="_blank" href="https://twitter.com/NICKIMINAJ/status/1750981146769518645"> "manipulative liar" </a>and referenced her late mother several times. Minaj also suggested that Megan lied about Tory Lanez, who she said shot her in July 2020.<a target="_blank" class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/tory-lanez-guilty-all-3-charges-megan-thee-stallion-shooting-2022-12">A jury convicted Lanez in December 2022</a> of assault with a semiautomatic firearm, having a loaded, unregistered firearm in a vehicle, and discharging a firearm with gross negligence in relation to the shooting. Lanez maintained his innocence throughout the trial.So far, Megan has remained relatively mum on Minaj's responses.<a target="_blank" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/timeline-of-nicki-minaj-megan-thee-stallion-feud-2024-1">The mostly one-sided drama</a> came to a head on Monday when Minaj released her diss track aimed at Megan titled "Big Foot.""Bad bitch, she like 6 foot/ I call her big foot/ the bitch fell off/I said get up on your good foot," Minaj said in the lyrics, in a purported reference to Megan being shot in the foot.Some of hip-hop's loudest voices are already weighing in on who's winning the rap beef.Representatives for Minaj and Megan did not immediately respond to Business Insider's requests for comment.<h2>Charlamagne tha God said Minaj fumbled her diss record</h2>Charlamagne Tha God and his cohost DJ Envy of the syndicated radio show "<a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=YOr2rj44AyE">The Breakfast Club</a>" discussed the ongoing feud on Monday.After playing the first bar of "Nicki Minaj's" song, Big Foot," which referenced Megan's deceased mother, Charlamagne explained why the song — which's already racked up over <a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vKkoBUPav3s">1 million listens on YouTube —</a>didn't leave a lasting impression on him."That ain't it, Nicki," Charlamagne said. "I don't know who Nicki got around her, but there's absolutely no reason that should have left the studio.""I'm glad Nicki decided to finally rap and not just tweet, but no, that ain't it," he continued.Charlamagne said that some stand-out bars fell flat because Minaj had already shared the sentiments with fans on Instagram Live and X, formerly Twitter. "It ain't hit the same," he added.Charlamagne also dinged Minaj for going below the belt in her lyrics, adding that although he understands hip-hop's competitiveness, he didn't agree with Minaj talking about Megan's mother from "a human perspective."<h2>Joe Budden argued that Minaj is a better rapper than Megan after "Hiss" dropped</h2>Joe Budden also discussed Minaj and Megan's ongoing feud on his <a target="_blank" href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=n5eZtLTWklQ">eponymous podcast</a> on last Saturday's episode. Although Budden didn't react to "Big Foot" since it didn't hit streaming sites until midnight on Monday, he shared his thoughts on "Hiss" and appeared to lean toward Minaj."I don't think Megan thee Stallion is in the same breath as Nicki Minaj," Budden said.When asked to clarify which categories, he responded: "In terms of nothing."Budden added that although he liked Megan's record, he preferred Minaj's potential take. He cited Minaj's craftsmanship and touted her experience in the industry as evidence."Nicki is in the booth practicing cadence as we speak," Budden continued. "And if you can't just fill in the blanks on what she's in there saying? Oh my God! Oh, it's going to be great."Budden added that Megan doesn't release singles quickly enough, in his opinion, to compete in this type of "warfare."<h2>Elliot Wilson, the founder of Rap Radar, gave the win to Megan</h2> Hip-hop journalist Elliot Wilson shared his opinion on whether "Hiss" or "Big Foot" came out on top. X account Hip Hop Daily asked users to share which artists had the better song."Meg," Wilson wrote.<h2>Neither Minaj nor Megan wins this battle. We do.</h2>Both rappers have been trending on X and TikTok since this beef started. The Hotties and Barbs are trading blows even right now on social media, continuing to debate which rapper won this round.Still, both sides are wrong. The actual winners are us. Hear me out.<div type="image" title="Megan Thee Stallion." height="2400" width="3600" msid="107240897" hostid="261"></div>While Rihanna's Navy is perpetually parched for her next album, the Hotties and the Barbs can walk away from last weekend with new music from their favorite artists.The support is palpable, with "Hiss" snagging the No. 1 spot on Apple iTunes on Monday with "Big Foot" right behind it. Fans are witnessing good old-fashioned hip-hop beef. As sticky as these public quarrels can be, it's undeniably embedded in the culture and has brought fans some of the most exciting moments in music, including the iconic 2015 dispute between <a target="_blank" class="editor-rtfLink" href="https://www.businessinsider.com/meek-mill-and-drakes-twitter-war-2015-7">Drake and Meek Mill that also involved Minaj</a>.<div type="image" title="nicki minaj" height="2000" width="3000" msid="107240898" hostid="261"></div>It's also noteworthy because, these days, so much of the back-and-forth between rappers happens on social media instead of in the studio. Although it took Minaj a few days to respond with "Big Foot," it's reminiscent of when rappers went bar-for-bar instead of tweet-for-tweet.Who knows if Megan will ever respond or if Minaj will log out of X at some point, but one thing is for certain: as fans, we'll come out on top.

"They're gonna say, 'Yeah, she put that on the map,' whether she put that on the map or not," Minaj said of Eilish. "She's successful. She's beautiful. She's got everybody wearing a certain hairstyle — I know I love her, and when she does do these covers, they're beautiful."She explained why she thought it was important to comment on the disparity. "The reason why you gotta mention it, y'all, is because when we don't mention it, we are erased. They act like it didn't happen," she said. She and Budden then drew comparisons to Black musicians who "died poor," while others were credited for styles they innovated. "People have to pay attention to what they're doing and how they're representing Black artists and Black people," she continued. During the conversation, Minaj also advocated for another trendsetting rapper. "The same way I feel like I already should have been on the cover of American Vogue, so should <a href="https://www.insider.com/female-rappers-most-daring-outfits">Lil' Kim</a> — if we keeping it all the way 1,000," she said. She said her issue wasn't with American Vogue's long-standing editor in chief, Anna Wintour, who has <a href="https://www.insider.com/anna-wintour-acknowledges-hurtful-intolerant-vogue-content-report-2020-6">drawn criticism</a> for the publication's lack of diversity. "Anytime I've ever met Anna Wintour, she has been so gracious to me," Minaj said. She clarified that her critique was directed at those who were "at that table with" Wintour when she made creative choices. "It's your responsibility to wave the flag. You don't just put it on another face and another person," Minaj added.Listen to Minaj's full conversation with Budden below.<a href="https://soundcloud.com/joebuddenpodcast" title="The Joe Budden Podcast" target="_blank" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;">The Joe Budden Podcast</a> · <a href="https://soundcloud.com/joebuddenpodcast/a-conversation-with-nicki" title="'A Conversation with Nicki Minaj and Joe Budden'" target="_blank" style="color: #cccccc; text-decoration: none;">'A Conversation with Nicki Minaj and Joe Budden'</a>

Nicki Minaj calls out fashion magazines for celebrating white artists, such as Billie Eilish and Lady Gaga, for dyeing their hair bright colors when she's been asked 'not to wear pink hair'

She shared that she reached out to Ye following her successful Fendi collaboration. "I told Kanye about that. I was like 'Hey look, I'm about to do something and I just wanted to make sure I spoke to you first," she said. She told Budden she did so "because I had such respect for him." Minaj clarified that the conversation did not take place recently: "It wasn't during this time, it was a while ago." "He was like, my wife probably wouldn't love that idea because I should be giving that to my wife. If I was doing the female version of the Yeezys or whatever it should probably go to my wife," she continued. "I understood because how you gon' tell somebody about they husband or wife chile," she said in her signature exaggerated drawl. "I said okay but I wanted to come to him first." Minaj also pointed out that Ye had been "very vocal" in the past about being <a href="https://www.insider.com/nicki-minaj-billie-eilish-colored-hair-magazine-joe-budden-podcast-2022-3">excluded from the fashion industry</a> as a Black man, suggesting that she'd expect him to want to help her, a Black female rapper, do the same. "I come to you as a Black man that I look up to. I'm doing that because you inspired me," she said. Minaj continued: "When I did ask to just put it on his radar, he said how he thought his wife would feel about it. And we didn't speak much more about it."However, Minaj did say she couldn't confirm whether or not what Ye said to her about Kardashian not liking the idea was true. "Now, I'm not saying that she said that," Minaj told Budden. "She wasn't there, so I want to make it clear."

"It's a proverb about how, as long as you don't control your own narrative, someone is always going to set themselves up to be the victor," Samuels told Insider. He thinks about the proverb often, because "that's what we've had for centuries," he said. "There are Black stories not being told because the power isn't with the people who are authentic and inside the culture." On March 3, Samuels, 40, was announced the newest CEO of Revolt <keyword id="6355065" type="UNKNOWN" weightage="60" keywordseo="TV">TV</keyword>, the cable network owned by hip-hop mogul Sean "Diddy" Combs, which specializes in creating music-themed content for Black audiences. Founded in 2013, it is one of the few Black-owned cable networks and was <a href="https://deadline.com/2020/07/sean-combs-revolt-tv-new-leadership-roma-khanna-steps-down-ceo-1202986432/">previously helmed by Roma Khanna</a> until she resigned as CEO in July. Revolt is broadcasted in <a href="https://www.prnewswire.com/news-releases/revolt-appoints-new-executive-leadership-to-expand-global-strategy-301239716.html">over 60 million households</a> and is known for its popular show "State of the Culture," in which <a href="https://www.instagram.com/joebudden/?hl=en">Joe Budden</a>, <a href="https://www.instagram.com/remyma/?hl=en">Remy Ma</a>, and <a href="https://www.instagram.com/ebonikwilliams/?hl=en">Eboni K. Williams</a> discuss pop culture and politics. In addition to the robust schedule of <a href="https://pagesix.com/2021/02/11/justin-combs-premiering-respectfully-justin-with-justin-laboy/">entertainment programming</a>, as CEO, Samuels wants to bolster content addressing important topics in the Black community, such as socioeconomic discrimination, intersectional feminism, and wellness.In April the network launched <a href="https://www.instagram.com/revoltblacknews/">Revolt Black News</a>, and Samuels wants to expand its coverage to highlight activists, center Black women, and focus on investigative and breaking news. Later this year Revolt TV will be offered on more television and mobile platforms, such as Apple TV, Roku, Android, and iOS. Currently, about 75 to 100 people work at the company, and Samuels is planning to expand that, too.There are plans for a possible podcast, too. "The dream is that we will be the largest Black-owned media company in the world," he said. "So we're doing it."On the same day of Samuels' appointment, Revolt also announced Colin McIntosh as COO and CFO, and Deon Graham as <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/diddy-digital-marketing-executive-deon-graham-talks-nightlife-digital-marketing-2021-2" target="_blank" rel="noopener noreferrer">chief brand officer of Combs Enterprise</a>.<h2>Revolt's social justice</h2>Too often Black people become the antagonists of their own stories. In 2017, <a href="https://colorofchange.org/dangerousdistortion/">Color of Change found </a>that major news outlets regularly, and disproportionately, depict Black families as dysfunctional, while white families are often shown as stable. <div type="image" title="REVOLT TV" height="1864" width="1491" msid="81418079" hostid="261"></div>The same study also found that media outlets are more likely to portray Black men as absentee fathers, despite research arguing the opposite, and that although Black family members make up 26% of those arrested on criminal charges, they represent 37% of criminals in the news. White people are portrayed as criminals only 28% of the time even though they constitute 77% of crime suspects, <a href="https://colorofchange.org/dangerousdistortion/">according to Color of Change</a>."Much what of we've seen of how Black people are depicted is through the white gaze - it's how non-Black people see us," <a href="https://twitter.com/sofiyaballin">Sofiya Abena Ballin</a>, an award-winning journalist, and creator of <a href="https://www.blkhistoryuntold.com/now">Black History Untold</a>, told Insider. "Black people are seen as a threat, as a stereotype, or as a caricature," she continued. "Black media has been trying to consistently undo that work. That's why it's important to have us there." The past century has seen the creation of outlets such as <a href="https://www.businessinsider.com/eden-bridgeman-ebony-jet-magazine-relaunch-interview-2021-3">Black newspapers, radio stations, and networks</a> seeking to communicate information and tell the stories of the Black community. In the era of social media, there are more opportunities for people to become the narrators of their own truths. Ballin said that gatekeeping and diversity are only part of the story. Black people need to support each other as well, she said, giving the example of many Black celebrities who may decide to pass over Black media in lieu of a large, mainstream outlet. "When you complain about how you're depicted, it's because you go to the 'popular mainstream' news outlets that you deem to be more valuable and are not owned and run by Black people," Ballin said. "But they don't have a true understanding of who you are as a person." <h2>'This is the moment'</h2>Samuels has come a long way from the rocky mountains. He was born in Boulder, grew up in Denver, and graduated from Duke University in 2002 with a B.A. in political science. In 2006, Samuels earned an MBA and a Master's degree from Stanford University. From 2005 to 2007 he worked in marketing roles at Johnson &amp; Johnson and GlobalHue before pivoting to advertising and digital media at RadioOne as president of its subsidiary, iOne. But in late 2019, Samuels wasn't sure he wanted to work at Revolt because he wasn't too interested in giving up his presidential control at iOne. The turning point of Samuels' career came when Samuels' father died last year. His father was a professor of African American literature at the University of Utah and instilled in his son the importance of Black liberation. Walking out of his father's funeral, Samuels decided it was time to dedicate his career to a cause. He went back to the Revolt team as chief operating officer and began his rise through the network's ranks. His first day was the same day George Floyd was killed.
