Low self esteem singer Nicki Minaj took X to list a "couple of things". The stupid hoe chanteuse reacted to the midterms results

Does she know a couple is only two things…

It's her year.

Diva not in the slightest she’s barely doing anything half as much as she did for brat and even then she barely had any exposure skdhdjd

The Weeknd has broken the record for the highest-grossing tour by a male artist in history as his “After Hours Til Dawn” stadium tour wrapped with a final performance at TM Stadium National in Kuala Lumpur, bringing the final gross to over $1.3 billion. The Weeknd continued his extensive charity donations throughout the tour: To date, he has donated $8.5 million to the XO Humanitarian Fund and Global Citizen, supporting global hunger relief and access to quality education for children worldwide. In 2026 alone, $3 million has been raised for the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) and Global Citizen. This year’s contributions to Global Citizen will support a new campaign focused on breaking down barriers facing women and girls in health, education and economic opportunity. While there is no official touring chart analogous to Luminate (for recorded music), the tally, confirmed by tour promoter Live Nation, is the third-largest in history, surpassed only by Taylor Swift’s “Eras” tour (over $2 billion) and Coldplay’s “Music of the Spheres” (over $1.5 billion). The previous male artist record was held by Elton John’s “Farewell Yellow Brick Road” tour, with over $939 million. Since kicking off in July 2022, the “After Hours Til Dawn” stadium tour has spanned 176 shows across 67 cities, 30 countries and five continents, selling more than 9 million tickets as part of the $1.3 billion gross.

Something is seriously wrong with this woman. She needs help fast!

Who the hail is Brittany Spears

On the same day Nicki Minaj appeared outside a polling station in New Hampshire as one of President Trump’s favorite MAGA mouthpieces, her former lawyers went back to court with renewed claims she still hasn’t paid an outstanding legal bill that’s about to top $300,000. Lawyers for the firm Gordon Recs Scully Mansukhani filed their renewed request for default judgment within minutes of her public appearance Tuesday, saying the “Starships” rapper breached their legal agreement and now owes them $295,605 for services, fees, and interest. The firm represented Minaj in a copyright infringement lawsuit that claimed her song “I Lied” directly copied the instrumentation and beat of a copyrighted song titled “onmysleeve” by Julius Johnson. The copyright case ended with a private settlement and was dismissed. The firm said its underlying lawsuit seeking the money, filed in March, “has not been responded to in any way by [the rapper].” Now that 30 days have passed since she was served, the firm is again requesting the $295,605 as a default award. A hearing on the request is set for Nov. 16.

Legend of Zelda - Ocarina of Time for Switch 2 is out. Scooped up my Best Buy preorder tonight, it was the foil version. They had a lot of consoles too, but the controllers quickly sold out. I just beat the first dungeon. This game is beautiful!!!! Hash tag nostalgia.

Jump in my hoopty, hoopty, hoop, I owe that

So I wrote to the record label and requested a CD version as did, presumably, hundreds of other fans, too. Usually, no one listens to us... but this time, the label has responded! They told me they "consider it". The 25th-anniversary re-release of Britney was originally planned only as a vinyl and digital release, but as of today, a CD version has also been announced. I was skeptical at first, but it's actually listed on Amazon. Proof: https://amzn.eu/d/0cybz3Za And well, Amazon is a credible source. It will be released as a CD on 22nd Janaury 2027. I loved the original album and I am waiting for this one. Britney is beautifully hopeful, lovely, full of anticipation, wonderful, melodic, just great and the new version will even be better and have more. Especially, "I'm not a Girl, Not Yet A Woman" has a special meaning for teenage girls and trans people. Bombastic Love is very cool. When I Found You is Heaven-Like. So many pearls. The album is not dance-mega-energetic but good in its own way and perhaps a pop masterpiece. Now let's party girls and gays We're gonna get a CD We are going to Barbados, whoahh, we're gonna have another Britney CD whoahh

Her big secret is her name's Brittany?

When OoT first launched, it was a technical marvel. People who got to play it in the 90s got to experience it as such. I didn't have an N64 growing up. By the time the game became available to me (through the Switch port), I genuinely couldn't get used to the old controls, visuals, etcetera. Even Twilight Princess is probably my second favourite game of all time - so OoT was definitely up my alley. But I never really got past the start of the game. This remake makes me so excited to finally experience the game and the story, without having to "work past" the limitations of the N64. Instead, I get to experience it with all the graphics and technical wow-factor that a "next gen" title usually has to offer. Just how a lot of people got to experience the original in the 90s.

GUYS We are about to flip Mississippi

Puritanical patriarchy has no rhythm … so dancing is a natural-born sin, and four on the floor flair is institutional treason ETA: To your point though, dance music has deep roots in marginalized communities, and again, to your point, it’s a bedrock of liberation for the native and indigenous cultures imperialist colonizers often aimed to suppress … but that’s just a one-off take on the first blush blink There are some really brilliant works that delve into the cultural histories of that entire plane of creative expression and cultural identity (if any of this makes any sense how I’m paraphrasing )

I still don’t understand why it was such a huge controvery Like, it’s just a breast, get over it, we all have two

And just like that Obsessed officially becomes Mariah's 2nd track overall (and 1st non-Christmas one ) that has surpassed 1B streams on Spotify

From Brat to the big screen, Charli XCX reflects on artistic evolution, individuality, and her love of cinema with Petra Collins. “Fall in love again and again… Fall in love again and again…” By now, the words have escaped the song. They have been looped, sped up, slowed down, attached to movie trailers and TikToks, and turned into one more piece of the endless stream of culture that Charli xcx seems unusually capable of bending around herself. The line comes from “Everything is romantic,” reworked with Caroline Polachek after Brat, but it also happens to describe Charli’s career rather well: somehow, just when the culture thinks it knows what to do with her, she gives it another reason to fall in love. That is considerably harder after making the album of your life. Full Interview: https://crfashionbook.com/article/charli-xcx-for-cr29-the-punk-issue/

Look at how your village of sonic camaraderie has grown!

Now he can release his duet with Gaga

Necki is STILL irrelevant

A fan shares a story about Lady Gaga popping up on a Zoom call with Michael Polansky: “Yesterday I was chatting with a startup about a potential investment, and we were having such a good time when Gaga casually walked into one of the rooms.” https://x.com/gagadaily/status/2117844109607964794?s=20

Out on streaming November 6th Out on vinyl November 10th

overexposed means when someone receives excessive mainstream coverage that causes people to grow tired of them charli is nowhere near hitting this definition

Talarico has beaten the record of most votes received by a Democrat in Texas. He beat Biden’s record from the 2020 presidential election. Insane!

Racism, transphobia, femmephobia, and homophobia all play a part. Look up the end of the disco revolution.

The Skype Ball

with the entirety of China? is she about to become a new communist leader

Hey so random question for our US peeps on here, but the question is because our Lord and saviour JADE is having her moment with Angel of My Dreams being used by Victoria’s Secret, but I’ve noticed a LOT of the comments I’ve seen about it are how people wish the whole song was like the slower more ballad style intro/outro, instead of the dance-y rest of the song. And it got me thinking; why does the US seem to hate Dance music so much nowadays? It took Gaga nearly a year to make her dance music hit in the US, and now her biggest hits (bar RoM) are only Adult Contemporary ballads she makes. Plus from what I’ve seen the US loves Country, Hip-Hop and sometimes Pop-Rock, alongside Adult Contemporary. Even ARTPOP gets flack for having “missed the EDM trend” when outside the US in places here in Europe, EDM has never really left and has been thriving since 90s. For example like clockwork House and Dance hits come out here in the UK every summer and chart high, The Cure even did really well here in the UK. So yeah, why do we think the US seems to hate Dance music? Is it because it’s associated with queerness and blackness? Since Dance, Disco and House are all predominantly from Black Queer communities. I’ve even noticed some members on here have a hatred for Dance, Disco and House music, and loathe when Gaga does it. And for the most part they seem to be US based fans.
