After the weekly numbers were released on Sunday (Aug 19) showing that Astroworld artist Travis Scott nabbed the number one spot, Nicki Minaj has been seemingly tweeting erratically blaming her number two spot on almost everyone but herself.

The “Chun Li” rapper took to Twitter on Sunday and explained in a series of tweets how she believes the only reason why Travis Scott’s ASTROWORLD earned the No. 1 spot on Billboard‘s 200 for the week was due to being featured as an amenity for his “ASTROWORLD: Wish You Were Here” tour merchandise bundles.

“I spoke to him,” Minaj tweeted. “He knows he doesn’t have the #1 album this week.”

Although sales were the latest reason for her rant, it wasn’t the only shade thrown over the course of the weekend. After a scathing article was published in Pitchfork criticizing Minaj for working with convicted child sex offender Tekashi69, Minaj lashed out at media claiming that she received “information” that media outlets were being “paid” to slander her.

“When I was told they were being paid to write these things I didn’t believe it, now I know it’s true ?? #Queen bitch!!!! ???♥️‼️ I got the proof on that too. Loving my life. They so bothered by this lil south side Jamaica QUEEN.  I’m supposed to keep letting these ppl get money to bully me behind the scenes & not say anything. Yikes. This is what happens when you release a great body of work after they spent millions to ruin you. Lol. 4 albums later still breaking records. #1 in 86 countries after they said it was a wrap. Praise God. He’s about to expose them. They writing about 69 cuz #Queen is flawless.”

All of these antics not only left fans scratching their heads but according to Charlamagne Tha God proved that Nicki’s antics earned her the hilarious spot of “Donkey of the day.”

During the hilarious eight-minute segment, Charlamagne drops some jewels for Minaj letting her know that the number two spot isn’t the worst position to be in and even complimented her new album as being the best from the Young Money queen yet.

“Nicki you must have been watching too much Talladega Nights because the ‘if you’re not first you’re last’ mentality is not true. You put out a good body of work and sold 185,000 units, you right now are being a sore winner. Nothing you’re doing is queen-like and let’s say that all of the people are to blame for you having the number two album in the country, who was to blame for you having the number two album in 2015 because Pink Print did the same.”

Charlamagne then went on to warn Nicki to cherish her success at where she is, before playing her 2014 hit “Did It On ‘Em”, before adding the shadiest moment of all by allowing Nicki’s nemesis to give her “Donkey of the Day.”

“Put your number twos in the air Nicki and celebrate that win. What you don’t cherish Nicki, you will lose. Somebody get Remy Ma to giver her Donkey of the Day.”

The Source Magazine released their Power 30 issue this month. The nostalgic cover of the magazine featured a recreation of the December 1997 magazine that featured AZ, Nas and Foxy Brown of the legendary hip hop group the firm.

The Breakfast Club’s Charlamagne tha God, Angela Yee, and DJ Envy were on the recreation of the cover.

Entertainment attorney and The Source Magazine’s chairman, L. Londell McMillan dropped by The Breakfast Club to discuss The Power 30 issue.

While on the show, McMillan was peppered with questions from Charlamagne  tha God about rapper, Jay-Z.

On his summer released 4:44, Jay-Z made direct references to McMillan, a former lawyer and confidant to late musical icon, Prince in his song, “Caught Their Eyes.”

Check it out at the 1:33 point

Caught Their Eyes (Ft. Frank Ocean) by Jay Z

From the album 4:44

On the track, the Brooklyn rapper says:

“I sat down with Prince, eye to eye/He told me his wishes before he died/Now, Londell McMillan, he must be color blind/They only see green from them purple eyes” and “This guy had ‘Slave’ on his face/You think he wanted the masters with his masters?/You greedy bastards sold tickets to walk through his house/I’m surprised you ain’t auction off the casket.”

McMillan seemed perplexed by the mention. “Again, you have to ask Hov because I was the guy who got ‘slave’ off his face,” McMillan told The Breakfast Club’s Charlamagne tha God.

Check out the interaction at the 14:00 mark in the video.

Added McMillan:  “Prince hired me to get him out of the contract with Warner Bros. He called me the emancipator. I asked Prince when I first met him, ‘How do we get that slave off your face?’ Prince said, ‘You get me free, I’ll take slave off my face.’”

McMillan said that in a conversation with Prince he told him that freedom is not free.

“You think Harriet Tubman, Sojourner Truth, and Frederick Douglass just woke up one day and they want free? We’re going to have to fight for freedom. He said, ‘I’m ready to fight.’ We win and we were successful. I went from his lawyer to his manager to his partner.”

McMillan who manages half o the heirs of Prince’s estate defended his decision to sell tickets for fans to walk through Prince’s Paisley Park mansion “Anyone who knew Prince really knew that Prince left instructions to leave Paisley Park as a museum,” said McMillan.

“He left instructions to at least 20, 30 people, so that was a fact. In fact, he started writing out the plans for that.”

When asked on why Jay-Z chose to mention him in his song, McMillan says that he believes that Jay-Z was getting misinformation and information. “Jay usually doesn’t get press from things like that,” he said.

“What I’ve seen from my dealings with him. He’s usually a cool guy. I wanted to keep any beefs directly, but if he wants to talk about it privately or publicly. If you want to come up here and talk about it, we can have that conversation.”

Power 105 The Breakfast Club’s DJ Envy Caught up with Brandon ‘Scoop B’ Robinson on Scoop B Radio. Press Play Below To Listen.

Every weekday morning, listeners are treated to the commentary of Charlamagne, Angela Yee and DJ Envy on New York’s Power 105.1 FM’s The Breakfast Club.

Interviews with notables in pop culture like Puff Daddy, Jay-Z, Hillary Rodham Clinton and Kanye West is what makes the show, THE SHOW!

One of the most notable interviews on The Breakfast Club was when Brian “Birdman Williams appeared on the show and told everyone to ‘put some respek on his name.’

“This also proves how big the Breakfast Club is with pop culture,” Breakfast Club host, DJ Envy told me on Scoop B Radio.

“You have people on American Idol saying: are you finished are you done? You had sports analysts and regular TV anchors [saying] are you finished or are you done? That came from a Breakfast Club Interview. You had white kids, black kids, asian kids. You know? You name it, Spanish; watching that interview. People that might not know about the Breakfast Club watched that interview.”

The show is a major success, but there are a few interviews that are missing from the trio’s accomplishment depth chart. “I would definitely love to do Barack Obama and Oprah Winfrey,” said DJ Envy.

Ah, yes, Harpo’s finest!

Winfrey has been featured in TIME Magazine‘s 100 most influential people, ten times and is the chairwoman and CEO of both Harpo Productions and The Oprah Winfrey Network.

If that isn’t impressive enough, Winfrey is co-author of five books and a philanthropist who started The Oprah Winfrey Leadership Academy for Girls, a school designed to educate and develop the leadership skills of young women in South Africa.

DJ Envy says having Winfrey on The Breakfast Club Would be an honor.

“To see her struggle and where she came from and how she was able to create that huge, huge conglomerate and have it succeed I would definitely love to do that,” he said.

You know you are official tissue paper when Carlton Banks once did his infamous dance to the original theme song of Oprah’s show while Winfrey made a cameo on The Fresh Prince of Bel Air.

Like Winfrey, President Obama also has ties to Chicago.

Creator of the Affordable Healthcare Act, Obama oversaw Al-Qaeda leader, Osama Bin Laden and former Iraq President Saddam Hussein being removed from power. Additionally, the Obama administration provided payment to wronged minority farmers, assisted South Sudan in declaring independence and the former president also passed the fair sentencing act. His journey inspires DJ Envy.  “I would love to see what was in his mind as a child that he [thought he] could be President,” he said.

“Because  I know when I was a kid, I never thought I could be President. It was never even an inkling in my mind. A black kid from Queens? President?! Come on! That’s something white men do.”

So what’s holding up progress to get them both up there, Envy? “Time,” he said.

“I think we will. I think we absolutely will. We had Hillary Clinton up in here. Who ever would have thought Hillary Clinton would be up in here?”  

DJ Envy also says that had Michael Jackson been living he’d easily make his wish list. Not only did DJ Envy talk Oprah and President Obama on Scoop B Radio, he also discussed, Carmelo Anthony, the state of the New York Knicks,  Odell Beckham Jr and the New York Giants and how DJ Clue inspired him.

After everyone on social media caught wind to the billboard, there has been a continuous wave of meme’s and “i just can’t”‘s. Here are a few examples now.

Eventually Rihanna did see the billboard, whether it was in person or through social media. She responded on Instagram and confirmed the rumors even more that they are indeed a thing. So sweet.

Her response is so RiRi as she plays it cool while commenting on his thirst. 

Oh RiRi, if only you knew the thirst others have for this type of love. The girl is blessed. Hopefully now that they are confirming their togetherness Drake won’t stop with the simping hits. Just because y’all found love, don’t mean the rest of the world doesn’t need that type of comfort!

With Rihanna now nominated for the vanguard award, the VMA’s just seem to get more and more interesting. The show is on Sunday and may be the key to success with DJ Khaled hosting along with Charlamagne Tha God. Make sure you check it out!

Wale stopped by The Breakfast club this morning to discuss with Charlemagne Tha God, DJ Envy, and Angela Yee his upcoming album Shine, new single “My P.Y.T,” relationship with Meek Mill, and his thoughts on his career at the moment. In recent years its been difficult to categorize Wale among other rappers, because he’s truly in his own tier of hip-hop, simple as that. While in the past Wale has voiced his frustration on the subject, considering his catalog holds several gold albums and platinum singles. However, this time around Wale appears to have embodied a whole new confidence and yet still doesn’t understand why fans still feel they have to be low-key about their fandom.

“Stop being closet fans, we laughing at you. Stop it,” said Wale.

Sam Sneak, fellow Maybach Music Group label mate, and featured artist on “My P.Y.T,” also spoke briefly on his relationship with Rick Ross, his contributions to the label and the possibility of an album one day.

Thereafter, Wale continued discussing his frustrations on stagnant fans who hold on to certain songs, not necessarily because of the track itself but because the track often represents a specific point in time in the fans life. Wale made a really insightful point on how when the people around them (the fan) change, and what they do on a daily basis, it feels like the music isn’t the same. A fallacy known all too well by artists of all genres. In respects to his upcoming album, Shine, Wale shared with The Breakfast Club crew that while past albums have been more for him, “Shine, is for the world. ‘My P.Y.T’ is for the world.”

While Wale isn’t known for beef in the rap game, his relationship with fellow MMG label mate, Meek Mill, hasn’t been solid over the last few years and even looked to be all but over last November. Surprisingly however, Wale cleared the air while on air and clarified that “At the end of the day, that’s my n****.” He continued on to show that he was excited that Meek’s sophomore album Dreams Worth More Than Money had successfully clinched Best Rap Album at the Billboard Music Awards over the likes of Future, Kendrick Lamar and Drake. Watch the full interview below.
