    Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion's 'WAP' Almost Thrown Out by 'Scared' Label Bosses

    The controversial ‘WAP’ collaboration between Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion almost didn’t happen because label bosses were too scared to release the provocative single.
    Aug 21, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Cardi B and Megan Thee Stallion’s chart-topping collaboration “WAP” was almost pulled by bosses at the rapper’s record label.
    The provocative tune proved a hit with fans, topping the U.S. Billboard Hot 100, and its accompanying video, featuring stars including Normani and Kylie Jenner in a lavish mansion featuring butt sculptures, breast fountains, tigers and leopards, quickly went viral on social media.
    But the “Bodak Yellow” star told Ash London Live that bosses at her record label, Atlantic Records, were unsure of the track when she first presented it to them.
    “When they heard the song, they were like, ‘We really like it, but that song is so explicit’,” Cardi shared of the raunchy track, which has the full title Wet A*s P**sy.”
    “And I guess they were asking around because even with YouTube we couldn’t use the explicit version. We had to use ‘wet and Gucci’ to keep it PG-13.”
    She continued, “My label was really scared about the record. They were like, ‘Can you please get another record and you could put Megan on it?’ And I was like, ‘No.’ ”
    Cardi also admitted she too began to get nervous about the track, confessing, “I kept asking people, ‘Am I saying p**sy too much?’ ”

    Aug 21, 2020
    AceShowbiz – The beef between PnB Rock and Rod Wave has yet to over. After the latter took to his Instagram account to threaten PnB about coming to his home state of Florida, PnB has broken his silence to hit back at Rod.
    Responding to Rod’s claim that he made music for the trenches, PnB said that Rod jocked his style. “I ain’t say nothing about the n***a that’s making music for the trenches. The n***a that’s for the hood. N***a, I do that, dickhead,” PnB Rock ranted during an Instagram Live session. “Rod Wave is my f***in’ son. He makin’ the same music as me. Singing, trappin’, rappin’ — I did that. I’m the one who started it.”

    The tension between the two rappers started after PnB criticized new generations of rappers for their “sad asf” albums. “All these lil n***as albums n tapes be sad asf lol like all these lil mfs depressed smh,” PnB wrote on Instagram Stories on Monday. “I can’t listen to this s**t make me wanna go kill myself listening to Dese sad a** Lil boys lol.”
    While PnB didn’t name-drop anyone, fans felt like he was shading Rod, who quickly responded to the post. Writing on Instagram Stories, he said, “Some of you f**k n***as been in Hollywood to long.” He then went bold by tagging PnB’s account and wrote, “put a address on that s**t.”
    He doubled down his response by going on Instagram Live in which he said, “”Put an address on that s**t ’cause I feel like you talkin ’bout me, n***a,” he said on Tuesday. “We ain’t sneak dissin’. If I feel a certain kind of way, n***a, we gon’ address it. N***a, so put an address on that s**t. Now you wanna talk ’bout it’s pressure?”
    He also warned the “Gang Up” spitter about coming to his home state of Florida. “Man, let me tell you something, man. I know you rap n***as love to come to Florida, n***a, From Pensacola, n***a, to Miami, n***a. A n***a will make this s**t rough for you, n***a. A n***a will make this s**t real rough for one of you n***as, bro. You trippin’, bro. You gon’ have to get with one of the opps or another rap n***a, you feel me? Or the police and then you gon’ have to pay $50,000, $60,000 in security every time you come, n***a,” Rod claimed.

    “Sharing it with Dwayne and his heartfelt reaction was one of the many moments of our unforgettable day and celebration that I’ll hold onto forever.”

    Instagram

    During an Instagram Live session, the ‘Heart on Ice’ rapper warns the ‘Gang Up’ spitter, who previously criticized younger rappers who make ‘depressing’ music, about coming to his home state of Florida.
    Aug 20, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Rod Wave isn’t done blasting PnB Rock after the latter appeared to diss him on his recent Instagram post. After responding to PnB’s post about younger rappers who make “depressing” music, Rod further makes sure that he’s not one to back down.
    The “Heart on Ice” rapper doubled down on his response to PnB when he went on Instagram Live session on Tuesday afternoon, August 18. “Put an address on that s**t ’cause I feel like you talkin ’bout me, n***a,” he said. “We ain’t sneak dissin’. If I feel a certain kind of way, n***a, we gon’ address it. N***a, so put an address on that s**t. Now you wanna talk ’bout it’s pressure?”
    He went on warning the “Gang Up” spitter about coming to his home state of Florida. “Man, let me tell you something, man. I know you rap n***as love to come to Florida, n***a, From Pensacola, n***a, to Miami, n***a. A n***a will make this s**t rough for you, n***a.

Or the police and then you gon’ have to pay $50,000, $60,000 in security every time you come, n***a,” Rod claimed.
    “I don’t give a f**k where you at, n***a,” he went on to threaten PnB. “From Pensacola to the top to the bottom, b***h. N***a gon’ hear about that. I’ll give a nigga $10,000 on Cash App if they see you anywhere in Florida. In the mall, n***a. Them p***y-a** rental cars you riding ’round. You like to come and get on jet skis and s**t. N***a, stop playing. You better get on this b***h and act like you got some sense, n***a. Talkin ’bout it’s pressure. N***a, I’m from Florida. Do you know what pressure mean? Do you know what that mean?”
    However, Rod hinted that he’s open to end the beef without violence, saying, “I don’t never got to come to Philly or wherever you from, but you n***as love Florida, boy. You gotta be mindful what you get on this internet and say. Now, if you n***as wanna duke it out or talk it out or whatever, but all that pressure, and beef, and it’s smoke and all that, n***a, that means s**t where I’m from.”
    Rod got so worked up after he caught wind of PnB’ post in which he took aim at new generations of rappers for their “sad asf” albums. “All these lil n***as albums n tapes be sad asf lol like all these lil mfs depressed smh,” PnB wrote on Instagram Stories on Monday. “I can’t listen to this s**t make me wanna go kill myself listening to Dese sad a** Lil boys lol.”
    “And these the n***as y’all look up too smh,” he added in a separate post. “lol like even when I was down to my last… down N out…I was happier den dat lol I went out and got it never was sitting around feeling sad and depressed… That’s for suckas new generation s**t I guess.”
    While PnB didn’t name-drop anyone, fans felt like he was shading Rod, who quickly responded to the post. Writing on Instagram Stories, he said, “Some of you f**k n***as been in Hollywood to long.” He then went bold by tagging PnB’s account and wrote, “put a address on that s**t.”
    Rod then said in a video that “rap n***as ain’t connected to reality no more,” which prompted the genre to be overrun with dance and pop music. Concluding the clip, Rod added, “Keep me outta that s**t.”

    Kehlani Decides to Remove Tory Lanez's Verse to Show Loyalty to Megan Thee Stallion

    Instagram

    In a new interview, the ‘Gangsta’ singer says she feels like she has to ‘do the right thing’ because ‘this situation was involving someone that I [am] extremely close to.’
    Aug 19, 2020
    AceShowbiz – Kehlani was put in a tough situation following a drama between Tory Lanez and Megan Thee Stallion where Tory allegedly shot Megan’s leg. That prompted Kehlani, who worked with the Canadian rapper on her song “Can I”, to face questions from fans about whether or not she would keep Tory in her song.
    She eventually decided to leave him out of the music video for “Can I” and her upcoming deluxe version of “It Was Good Until It Wasn’t”. Explaining her moves during her appearance on Chicago’s “WGCI” radio station, Kehlani said, “As someone with a large platform, as someone that people look up to, as a woman that makes other women feel safe and empowered, people were asking me, ‘Are you gonna keep somebody on it who doesn’t necessarily make us feel safe or empowered as a woman?’ ”
    “And not only that but, you know, this situation was involving someone that I [am] extremely close to, so I just felt like on some loyal s**t, and on some do the right thing, you have to be responsible. Absolutely I’m changing up the record,” she added. The “Gangsta” singer continued, “It was business and it was also loyalty to a situation. This is not an industry friendship. That’s really my friend and someone I say I love you to.”

    Last month, Kehlani released the music video for “Can I” that didn’t feature Tory. “Full transparency cuz i believe in that with my following, his verse is still on the song, the video is solo. new verse on the deluxe,” the “Good Thing” singer wrote prior to the release. “The album came out months ago i can’t remove it , doesn’t work like that. can only move forward.”
    Tory was initially arrested and charged for possession of a firearm after he was pulled over by police on early Sunday morning, July 12. That prompted him to be under investigation as police believe he pulled the trigger and injured his rumored girlfriend Megan. He remains mum on the allegations.
