Nicki Minaj is a mega pop star with millions of fans. She’s also a human like you or me, and she’s opening up about her sobriety.

Nicki Goes Clean

Earlier this week (Apr 21), the artist hopped on Twitter to vent about her past marijuana use. Nicki Minaj opened up, saying she’s moved on from using weed as a vice. Luckily, she’s found success in healthier mental health practices.

“I used to b happy when I was high,” Nicki tweeted. “Now I’m happy when I’m sober. No judgment to anyone. Be gentle with yourself.”

In addition to this positive thought, Nicki Minaj also opened up about how people still misconceive her as a smoker. “My eyes naturally look like that,” she sent out.

“[and] people always think I’m high when I’m not wearing makeup. Plus my eyes are naturally gray & I was born in the Caribbean islands of Cuba. The 1st paragraph was true tho,” she confirmed.

Letting Things Slide

Since this album rollout began, Nicki has noticeably been on a more pacifist streak. This change is supposedly due to the birth of her son Papa Bear in Oct. 2020. But even when she stays quiet, there’s always buzz around the Queens icon. Recently, there’s been a few strange instances of Nicki’s name being brought up in the media.

Earlier in the month (Apr 18), Erica Banks namedropped Nicki in a Revolt interview.

“I love Nicki, but I just felt like, I been trying to reach out to her for a long time, but I felt like she kinda ignores me, and she entertains girls who really can’t rap,” she said. A very hot take indeed.

It’s presumed Erica spoke on Coi Leray. Leray recently teamed up with Nicki for “Blick Blick.” Coi responded directly to the apparent diss with five laughing emojis. However, Nicki had no response.

This week, Rubi Rose briefly mentioned Minaj in another awkward incident (Apr 19). During an appearance on the Big Facts podcast, the topic of dating men who make less money came up.

“My preferences are chocolate, tall, preferably [makes] more money than me,” Rubi said.

The host DJ responded with some skepticism. “What if they don’t?” He asked.

“Then we can work it out,” Rubi retorted. I will help, of course, but I don’t want to be the man in the relationship. But I will. I see Nicki Minaj is happy.” Rubi later clarified she didn’t mean any harm with the quote but still, ouch.

Similar to Erica Banks, Rubi’s comment didn’t garner a direct reaction from Nicki. Nonetheless, the Barbz certainly took it as shade.

Police arrested the member of Public Enemy, Flavor Flav, in Nevada for domestic battery earlier this month. A report from TMZ states that the Henderson PD arrested the rapper on October 4th.

Flav’s Domestic Battery Charges

Police responded to a domestic disturbance call and arrived at the crime scene around 11:40 pm. Flav ended up in Henderson Detention Center, where the law enforcement booked and officially charged him.

Flavor Flav allegedly poked his finger on the victim’s nose, grabbed and threw her down on an unknown surface. The reason for Flav’s actions was supposedly getting the phone out of the victim’s hand.

The rapper’s attorney, David Chesnoff, told TMZ that “in alleged domestic violence cases, there are often two sides to the story, and we will explain our side in the courtroom and not in the media.”

Flav’s Year Of Sobriety

October 19th marks Flavor Flav’s year of sobriety. He posted on Instagram and capped “1 year up [sober]…lotz more to go.” Flav also “pray[s] my whole family will be walkin the same path I am.”

Various starts congratulated Flav on his anniversary. The Roots’ Questlove commented, “Proud of you bro.” Xzibit sent congrats as well, “Love you G!! You’re one of my hero’s. Glad you are feeling powerful in your sobriety. Keep going,”

“There is a quote from Flav’s legal team, as well as one from his management team with regards to the 1-year-mark of his sobriety,” Flav’s manager said. “October 19th marks his official one-year mark of no alcohol, along with 15 months of no cigarettes and 13 years of no hard drugs.”

Public Enemy Reunion?

A month ago, Flav also commented on the possibility of Public Enemy reunion. “There’s some things that Chuck D needs to work out with me,” Flav stated. “Once he comes up to the table and signs this partnership agreement, then we can work. If he doesn’t sign this partnership agreement, then we ain’t working.

Chuck D, the other PE member, responded to that. “Come on y’all, this is tired and stupid,” Chuck commented. “Flav and I communicate on our own, so I normally don’t address these things in public, but I’m tired of the circus of airing news that ain’t news.”

600Breezy Reveals That He Has Taken An Act of Sobriety From Drugs

Chicago rapper 600Breezy has made a name for himself in the Chicago Drill Rap scene for quite some time. However, he has recently made public that he no longer partakes of any drugs and substances he used to take. Such as weed, pills, alcohol, and lean. Breezy is now living healthy by eating right, working out, and staying out of the crime scene. It may come as a shocker to fans that he is cleaning up his act, but to him, this is just the beginning of a new lifestyle.

Breezy’s Recent Controversy and Turn Around

Earlier this year, Breezy got into an online confrontation with New York Rapper Tekashi 6ix9ine. He commented toward 6ix9ine “You Gon Die” after his disgruntling comments over the late rapper King Von shortly after his death. The confrontation occurred over Instagram live in front of thousands of fans. Breezy was not pleased with 6ix9ine’s behavior nor of his comments after that. Nonetheless, Breezy managed to step away from the violence and hatred toward the rapper and others to focus on the positives. Since then, he has been cleaning up his act mentally, spiritually, and physically while continuing his rap career.

Breezy’s New Lifestyle

“The Art of War” rapper has frequently made it known that he is happy with his progress throughout his journey. He constantly posts pictures and comments throughout his social media about it. One of his now deleted comments details the specifics of what he does to maintain his new lifestyle saying:

“7 months clean, No Lean No Pills No hard drugs at all. 6’5 240 pounds, Gym 3-4 times a week. Take care of yourself, don’t shorten your life span following trends.”

One thing that can be said for certain about Breezy is that he is making a change. It is even supported by many fellow rappers such as OT Genasis, Jim Jones, Hitman Holla, and many others.
