Nicki Minaj Files Defamation Suit Against Youtuber Over 'Cokehead' Allegations

Nicki Minaj is suing a YouTube named Nosey Heaux, born Marley Green, following the release of a video in which she claimed that Minaj is " . . . shoving in all this cocaine up her nose." According to TMZ, the court documents say that she later doubled down and said, "But we all know it's true. I can't even say allegedly with that ‘cause I, we all know it's true. I'm not saying alleged on that. Nicki Minaj is a cokehead."

Minaj's legal team has also said that Green made "vile" comments about the rapper's one-year-old son. Green reportedly told Minaj to get therapy for her infant son because, "Your baby is going to be a rapist, too." Minaj is married to Kenneth Petty, who was convicted of rape in 1995.

In the suit, Green is labeled as a "nobody" whose "main accomplishments in life have been a string of criminal charges, bail jumping and bad debts." Nicki's attorney Judd Burstein said the "cokehead" video garnered 2,000 likes and over 250 retweets on Twitter.

Burstein added, "When this case is over, she will no longer be permitted to use the name ‘Nosey Heaux' because we will take her trademark from her when she does not have enough money to pay the judgment. Anyone else who spreads lies about Nicki will suffer a similar fate. My marching orders are to aggressively sue anyone with a media or social media following who damages her with intentional lies. Eventually, the lesson will be learned."

Minaj has claimed she's never used cocaine and is seeking $75,000 in damages.

Britney Spears Denies Body-Shaming Claims After Being Called Out By Fans

Britney Spears is fighting back against claims of body-shaming after being accused by fans doing so in a social media post, and supposedly being unfollowed on Instagram by Christina Aguilera.

Britney posted on Instagram on Tuesday (September 13th), "By no means was I being critical of Christina's beautiful body, it is what it is !!! I flew to see her show once and the main thing I noticed was the difference of our people on stage !!!"

She added, "By no means did I even mention Christina, look at my post !!! I was inspired by her show and she is a beautiful woman of power … Thank you @xtina for inspiring me !!!"

On Monday (September 12th), Britney shared a post, which said, "I found there was only one way to look thin: hang out with fat people." In the caption, referring to her lengthy conservatorship, Britney wrote, "I wish I could have chosen the nannies for my children … my dancers … I mean if I had Christina Aguilera's dancers I would have looked extremely small 💃💃💃… I mean why not talk about it ?? Don't you think my confidence would have been a bit better if I could choose where I lived, ate, whom I called on the phone, dated and who was on stage with me !!! It's hard sometimes now I see how much of my womanhood was stripped away at that time and every person sat back and didn't say a thing !!! Anyways … I will be here talking bout things people NEVER talked about 🙄🙄🙄 !!!"

Reports then surfaced that Xtina had unfollowed her on IG, which prompted Britney's explanation: "To be honest, I'm not trying to be critical of anybody. What I posted is a projection of the insecurities I deal with all the time as a result of how my parents and the media have treated me. I would never intentionally body shame anybody because I know what it feels like … I struggle with this because of how I feel about myself, not because I hate how anybody looks."

Doja Cat Teases New Album Will Be Inspired By '90s German Rave' Music

Doja Cat's next album will be inspired by German rave music from the 1990s.

During a recent interview with CR Fashion Book, Doja said, "We just have so many ideas and making those ideas consistent is the challenge right now. I can't really tell much. I just know there's a lot going on. I'm very into this '90s German rave kind of vibe right now and it's really fun."

She then said that her new sound is partly thanks to her new look. Doja continued, "I know dance music is kind of the trend at the moment, but I loved that stuff as a kid. Now that I can express it (obviously, I couldn't buzz my head and wear a furry bra and have a belly button piercing back then), I'm sort of embracing that."

On her creative process, Doja shared, "My process has always been, I don't work with people. I'm never in the studio with people. I think I'm getting better at being open to that idea but I like things being sent to me and then being in my own place of tranquility and doing it on my own."
