Nicki Minaj Pops Up In New Mercedes-Benz Ad

Nicki Minaj has been noticeably absent from spotlights, social media and front pages as of late, with her intended “classic album” and other intangibles being apparent catalysts.

But her multi-million-strong social media following was elated to see her partake in a bit of media, thanks to her new endorsement with Mercedes-Benz and TIDAL, which is promoting the new A-Class model.

“I don’t say hi, I say ‘keys to the Benz,’” her sponsored quote reads.

Multiple Sources Confirm Sanaa Lathan Is Beyonce’s Biter Despite Denial

The mystery of #WhoBitBeyonce has reportedly been solved and now the zealous Beyhive can finally sleep at peace.

Page Six is confidently confirming from multiple sources the identity of the face gnawer is Sanaa Lathan. The incident was said to have occurred last December during JAY-Z’s D’Usse VIP party after his 4:44 Tour stop in Los Angeles.

“It was a big thing in the moment at the party, everyone was talking about how anyone would dare to do that,” one of the soiree’s attendees said.

Tiffany Haddish sent social media into a frenzy after her GQ interview revealed that an unnamed actress had the audacity to bite Beyoncé in the face.

“There was this actress there that’s just, like, doing the mostest,” Haddish told GQ (without saying names). “She bit Beyoncé in the face.”

Social media sleuths immediately got #WhoBitBeyonce trending on Twitter, naming Lathan as the actress (and a few others) who Haddish described as doing the “mostest,” however the Love Basketball actress denied ever doing such a thing to the Grammy Award-winning vocalist.

“…if I did it would’ve beeb love bite,” she tweeted followed by kiss emoji.

Beyonce recently quipped on DJ Khaled’s single, “Top Off” how partygoers in her presence will have to sign a NDA — a practice Haddish recently admitted to exercising.

It appears Tiff has already worked the chin-biting incident into her comedy routine and furtively hints that the culprit used to date French Montana, according to Vulture.

Sanaa and French dated back in 2015.

Tiffany Haddish is dropping more gems about the party she was at last December where she saw Beyoncé check an actress who was flirting with JAY-Z.

“There was this actress there that’s just, like, doing the mostest,” Haddish told GQ (without providing the specifics of which actress it was). “She bit Beyoncé in the face.”

Jay-Z after I told him Jaleel white is the only black man I know of to have his own Breakfast Cereal.?….. But for real I had fun #jayz show last night was everything!#thelastblackunicorn #SHEREADY #jayz

Needless to say Bey was pissed and The Last Black Unicorn was ready to go to war over it.

“So Beyoncé stormed away,” Haddish continues. “Went up to JAY-Z, and was like, ‘JAY! Come here! This bitch—’ and snatched him. They went to the back of the room. I was like, ‘What just happened?’ And Beyoncé’s friend walked up and was like, ‘Can you believe this bitch just bit Beyoncé?’

“Near the end of the party Beyoncé’s at the bar, so I said to Beyoncé, ‘Did she really bite you?’ She was like, ‘Yeah.’ I was like, ‘She gonna get her ass beat tonight.’ She was like, ‘Tiffany, no. Don’t do that. That bitch is on drugs. She not even drunk. The bitch is on drugs. She not like that all the time. Just chill.’”

Despite spilling details about the notoriously private couple, Haddish says she’s willing to sign the non-disclosure agreement Beyoncé sang about on DJ Khaled’s “Top Off” the next time they party.

Lil Skies Cancels Remaining Tour Dates Due To "Unforeseen Health Issues"

Some unlucky fans who were anticipating a Lil Skies show will have to wait. On Friday (March 30), Skies took to Twitter to announce he was pulling the plug on the remaining dates of The Life Of The Dark Rose Tour, citing “unforeseen health issues.”

“I am unable to complete The Life Of The Dark Rose Tour,” he wrote. “I want to thank all my fans and supporters who have stuck by my side from the beginning. It’s my hope and prayer to get well soon so that I can continue to give you guys the show that you deserve. As much as it saddens me to do this, I know it’s in the best interest of my health and my future.”

He ended with, “See you soon.”

A rep from Warner Music Group told HipHopDX, “He’s been sick for the last few shows. Kid left it all on the stage.”

Skies was expected to play in Atlanta on Friday night at the Center Stage Theater, and then travel to New Orleans, Houston, Dallas, Memphis and Baltimore where he would have wrapped up the tour.

He’s also scheduled to appear at The Smokers Club festival in Long Beach on April 28 and April 29 but it’s unclear if he’ll make those dates.

The Pennsylvania-bred rapper released his latest project, The Life Of The Dark Rose, this past January.

#DXHitList: The Weeknd, Curren$y & Cardi B Top This Week’s Spotify Playlist

Spotify – The Weeknd opens up this week’s #DXHitList with “Try Me” off his My Dear Melancholy, EP. The project came as a surprise following a trail of cryptic messages the XO singer left for fans pining for new Weeknd music. On “Try Me,” The Weeknd makes an attempt to sing his way into a taken woman’s heart over a sultry and haunting Mike WiLL Made-It production.

New music from Curren$y’s latest mixtape Parking Lot Music is also featured on this week’s #DXHitList. “Right Here” featuring Casey Veggies is certainly a stand-out cut among the nine tracks featured on the project. Produced by Purps, “Right Here” addresses fair weather women, groupies, thots and the like.

Cardi B’s Invasion of Privacy is slated for an April 6 drop and the first single off the debut project “Be Careful,” also sits at the top of the #DXHitList. The single has been met with lukewarm reviews however, the song provides for radio-friendly production courtesy of Frank Dukes and Boi-1da and is coupled with Cardi spitting lyrics that clearly speak from the experience of being with a man who doesn’t appreciate you.

Rich the Kid’s slap “No Question” featuring Future as well as new music from DJ Esco, Trill Sammy, SAINt JHN, Jean Grae and U-God are also including on this week’s #DXHitList.

Listen to the #DXHitList below and make sure you’re following us to keep up with the latest music drops every Friday.
