Nicki Minaj shared a picture of her and the legendary Nasir "Nas Jones on Instagram. The two appear to be more than friends, so this picture is totally fueling romance rumors. Some people are saying smarten up Nas and hoping the legend doesn't fall for Nicki. I think they would make a cute couple and Nas just might be the man to tame Minaj. An older man with his own name and legacy. The two were boo'd up at Nas's Sweet Chick restaurant in NYC. Under the picture her caption read;
“Only KINGS recognize QUEENS,” she wrote. “@sweetchicklife has the best food…congrats @nas.”
-
Although an official "relationship" has yet to be confirmed, Twitter is already reaching with a nickname for the "couple", #NasNika, which became a trending topic. HunTEA I can't....lol. *grabs popcorn*

ICYMI: Joe Budden Attempts To School Lil Yachty On’ Everyday Struggle’ & Things Get Heated ( WATCH )
-
This is the perfect explain of Old School Hip-Hop vs New School Rap. On this episode Lil Yachty stops by the show to chop it up with Joe Budden, Dj Akademiks and Nadeska Alexis. They spoke about his upcoming album 'Teenage Emotions', his controversial album cover, his Met Gala experience and more. However things got heated, as Joe began to press Lil Yachty and pretty much shot down everything he said during the interview. Joe came off as an older rapper with hate in his blood for the new generation. I get the whole "big homie, tough love" role, but old school artists must let new artist live and learn. I am passionate just like Budden, but at the same time I let people rock. If you're familiar with Joe Budden YES this is his personality, but it doesn't make it cool......Watch the show below.

Ferg from the A$AP set linked up with Remy Ma for his high energy track "East Coast", when I first heard the song last month on Tidal, I enjoyed it. Now that the visual has been released I'm really feeling the track. Remy Ma look is on point! And she delivered with her bars and flow. The video was directed by Shomi Patwary and Mr.A$AP Ferg himself. It gave off 90's ( bad boy ) vibes mixed with the current times. Rick Ross, A$AP Rocky & French Montana all made cameos in the visual. Check it out below.
