Akbar V is setting the record straight on Nicki Minaj's "Big Foot" and Megan Thee Stallion. In the hip-hop world, drama is often around the corner. Furthermore, it's waiting to bubble over at the slightest provocation. This is the case with Akbar V, whose recent remarks about Nicki Minaj's "Big Foot" diss track. Her comments have sparked controversy and speculation about her relationship with Megan Thee Stallion. In a statement addressing the situation, Akbar V made it clear that her support for "Big Foot" does not equate to animosity towards Megan Thee Stallion. Denying any personal issues with the Houston rapper, Akbar emphasized that her involvement in hyping up "Big Foot" was simply a matter of entertaining her audience and responding to fan requests.
Furthermore, the issue of matter lies in Akbar V's recent remarks recorded at a club appearance, where she exclaimed, "This big foot b--ch trynna come for the f--kin queen of rap." While the statement may have raised eyebrows, Akbar V insists that it was all in the spirit of rap entertainment. Moreover, she calls it a playful jab rather than a declaration of war. However, Megan Thee Stallion's hairstylist and friend took a shot and commented under the post trying to defend Megan. ""Akbar feet def doing sign language … relax girl," he stated. Akbar V sought to clarify any misconceptions. Moreover, she stated in response to the friend and social media, "You making this something bigger than what it really is. I don't have no problem with Meg. This is rap entertainment, that's her and Nicki beef, but the song hard and it was requested. I was at my paid hosting. It was funny. If you know me, I talk smack 'bout myself and all, baby. I'm hood. We joan all day."
Furthermore, social media wasn't too impressed with Akbar trying to defend herself. "To hate a woman that doesn’t know you is a different kind of weak," one person commented. "As an upcoming 'artist' if I’m in the club with a mic the last thing I would be doing is yelling somebody else’s lyrics to the top of my lungs," one person commented. "I’d be tryna push my own music but maybe that’s just me." "Here she goes…throwing rocks and hiding her hand! Smh," another person said.
Ultimately, whether it's hyping up a diss track or setting the record straight, Akbar V claims it was all in the name of entertainment. And while controversies may come and go, one thing remains clear. In the world of rap, anything can happen, and the drama never truly sleeps. Let us know what you think on HNHH!
Taylor Swift believes Nashville has a music scene that stands apart from anywhere else.
The 36 year old singer moved to Nashville, Tennessee, when she was young to chase her dream of becoming a country music star. After being inducted into the Nashville Songwriters Hall of Fame on Monday (26.10.26), Taylor took the opportunity to recognise the city and the talented writers who have helped shape its music scene.
In her acceptance speech, Taylor said: "I believe you really get to master a craft by doing it again and again. That's exactly what the incredible songwriters in this wonderful town do every day."
Taylor also spoke about what makes Nashville such a special place for musicians.
The award winning singer, who ranks among the best selling music artists of all time, said: "You won't find another music community quite like this one. Trust me, I've checked them all."
Taylor also shared how being part of Nashville's songwriting scene had taught her valuable lessons about life and working with others.
She joked: "I've learned to be flexible when your co writer turns up with a hangover, or when they need to spend ages talking about their divorce before we can even get started on a song."
Taylor previously spoke about how Faith Hill and Shania Twain inspired her decision to move to Nashville.
Speaking to Time magazine, the singer said: "I couldn't get enough of watching TV biographies about Faith Hill and Shania Twain, and I realised they had both moved to Nashville to get their careers started. After that, I kept asking, pleading and begging my parents to take me there.
"When I was 11, my mum took my brother and me to Nashville during spring break, and we spent the trip driving around Music Row. She stayed in the car while I rushed into record companies one after another, giving my demo CD to the receptionists. I found it fascinating that so many major record labels were gathered along a single street, often inside little buildings and old houses.
"What really stayed with me was how welcoming people were to newcomers and complete strangers like us. We started visiting Nashville more often, and when I was 13, I received an offer for a development deal from a major record label. That was when my parents finally agreed to leave Pennsylvania and move with me."
