(AllHipHop News) Lil Kim has hit back at a fan who body shamed her for wearing a tight catsuit.
The rapper performed at a concert in New Jersey on Thursday evening sporting a tight PVC catsuit featuring bright blocks of pink, red and blue fabric, and posted several photos of herself posing in the outfit alongside rapper Remy Ma on her Instagram page over the weekend, along with the caption: “All our clothes custom str8 (straight) from France.”
While many followers praised Kim for donning such a bold ensemble, one fan commented that she needed the bodice customised “because you could see stomach rolls,” causing the hip-hop star to post a long message about how she was offended by the note.
“Working on it sis it’s natural most woman have it or have had it specially us woman that have kids,” she wrote. “I’m human, I️ could have photoshopped it but I️ didn’t because I️ have been working out every day really hard and eating better so I️ can be the best me that I️ can possibly be it’s called growth and change.”
Kim added that she normally wouldn’t feel required to respond to a negative comment on social media.
But she wanted to appeal to other people on the photo-sharing platform who may be targeted with similar types of criticism and body shaming.
“Maybe (I can) help someone else who may feel a little self conscious about their weight gain or little rolls that show thru their clothes kno it’s ok because I’m telling the men don’t complain at all and if anyone wants to change for themselves maybe my comment will motivate them to start exercising and get healthy,” she shared.
Kim concluded her message by insisting that she wasn’t hurt by mean comments and they actually give her more motivation to live a healthy lifestyle.

It’s safe to say that the Migos still haven’t forgiven Joe Budden for his apathy-based antics during their interview on the 2017 BET Hip Hop Awards red carpet.
Once the footage hit the net, fans went crazy stirring up a internet frenzy.
Ever since the incident, Joe has continued to share his thoughts on the group, and the group, as well as Lil Yachty, has continued to hate Budden.
Budden feels that most of the new generation’s music is trash, and who can blame him?
Migos and Yachty “dislike” Joe so much that they dissed him on their new track “Ice Tray”.
Let’s just say that Joe is still apathetic, and he is not here for the movement of either Migos or Yachty.
Migos group member Quavo and Lil Yachty even hired a Joe Budden lookalike for the “Ice Tray” video to taunt Joe Budden even more.
Joe Budden has been laughing it off, and since he knows they aren’t a threat to him lyrically, he’s been literally laughing it off on social media.
I’m pretty sure Joe isn’t going to come out of retirement to respond to Migos or Yachty.
According to Lil Yachty, they actually don’t have any true beef with Joe, and he explained that the song and video were all in fun.
I’m not sure if Joe would believe that the lyrics are just a joke when they say things like:
“If a n-gga hatin’, call him Joe Budden (p-ssy!).”
Are you buying Yachty’s claim that there is no real animosity between him and Migos and Joe Budden?
Joe has taken the high road for now since his new bundle of joy was born.
He has not responded as of yet, but we all know that Budden’s petty hand is as smooth as that bald head of his!
Should Joe even respond to the track?

(AllHipHop Rumors) The Nicki Minaj and Remy Ma beef is still brewing and it doesn’t seem to be letting up anytime soon. Fans are picking sides and palm trees are being thrown; casting shade on the situation.
When 2 Chainz hopped on the track with Nicki Minaj, Remy also had a few choice words for him even questioning his loyalty to their friendship.
We all have witnessed how intense Remy’s petty hand is, which in many ways could be a bad thing for some.
After collaborating on A$AP Ferg’s “East Coast” track, which sunk like a battleship, RCA pulled Remy’s verse off the track and created a remix.
It seems the two had a pretty steady friendship. We now have A$AP Ferg who recently dropped a BANGER [remix] titled “Plain Jane” ft. Nicki Minaj which prompted the unfollow on Instagram from the Bronx rapper.
Many say she is being super petty and some feel she has a point.
When it comes to securing the bag and making sure your family eats everything else goes out the window. The music business is a shady business, and Remy should know this.
Needless to say the “Plain Jane” track has been making a lot of noise, and every radio station has been spinning the record.
Remy has also been in the studio cooking up that work, and we cannot wait to hear what she comes up with next. Remy let the petty GO, and bring that heat. We are counting on you!!!
How do you feel about the unfollow? Do you feel Remy’s reasoning is justified?

(AllHipHop News) What is SoundCloud rap? That’s a question Vince Staples posed during his interview with the In Sight Out podcast. The Big Fish Theory album creator turned the question back around on P**itchfork managing editor Matthew Schnipper when asked about the sub-genre.
“What is that? Example? Is Lil Uzi Vert SoundCloud rap? I love Lil Uzi Vert,” replied Staples.
The Def Jam recording artist was then asked about Lil Pump’s music. After admitting he doesn’t listen to Pump, Vince wanted to know if the “Gucci Gang” rhymer was white.
“I don’t know how I feel about white people with dreads. That’s just my take on that,” said Staples. “But I never heard his music, and I hope he does well.”
Vince added, “I hope everybody’s saving their money and not being rude to people. That’s all I really care about. But as far as all these n-ggas looking alike… I just know who done shot somebody before. So when I hear people talk like that type of sh-t… I just did an album without one act of violence in it. I was real proud of myself.”
The term “SoundCloud Rap” has become a label used for acts that rose to prominence on the streaming platform. Lil Uzi Vert, Lil Pump, XXXTentacion, and Trippie Redd are among the performers to launch their careers on SoundCloud.
In a recent interview with AllHipHop, SoundCloud CEO Kerry Trainor gave his opinion on the musical classification being associated with the company.
“In terms of this group of artists, to me, they are about their immediacy and connection to their audience. The way that they access their audience through SoundCloud speaks to connecting with that fan base without anybody else in the way,” expressed Trainor. “Our mission is to provide the tools, the platform, and the environment for creators to do their best work. Then we want to be out of their way.
He continued, “So for us, [‘SoundCloud Rap’] encapsulates that. It’s a mission we believe very deeply about, and that’s what we’re in the world to do – empower artists and be that first place where they access their audience and that first place where listeners can find those creators doing incredible things.”
(AllHipHop News) Rap newcomer XXXTentacion has been slapped with a further eight felony charges of witness tampering relating to his 2016 arrest for domestic violence.
The troubled star was jailed in Florida on Friday (December 15) for violating his bail after prosecutors accused him of coercing the ex-girlfriend he’s accused of beating not to testify to drop counts of battery against a pregnant woman and false imprisonment.
At the time, authorities handed him seven new charges, including witness tampering and harassment, but on Monday (December 18) they added more felonies, taking his total number of counts to 15.
According to TMZ.com, the “Look At Me” rapper, real name Jahseh Dwayne Onfroy, allegedly made multiple phone calls to his former partner while behind bars, with prosecutors using the recorded audio footage as evidence of additional witness tampering.
The judge overseeing his case has since pulled XXXTentacion’s phone privileges while he’s being held without bail, where he is expected to remain until he goes to trial.
(AllHipHop News) There is some confusion about the current status of Joe Budden on the Complex News show Everyday Struggle. DJ Whoo Kid sat in for Budden on Monday’s episode which led to fans wondering if the replacement was permanent.
“[Joe Budden] will be back. He’s on baby duties this week. I’m not taking his spot on [Everyday Struggle] lol. Holy sh-t. I’m just passing thru this week. Sheesh. Calm the hell down. Lol. And congrats to Joe on his newborn son,” tweeted Whoo Kid on Monday.
However, Budden responded to Whoo Kid’s tweet by stating, “I am not on paternity [leave] & they should stop using my 3 day old child to mask internal chaos, thx.”
The Rage & The Machine album creator also posted messages that read “my contract is up… waiting to see how this plays out” and “creators will be properly acknowledged & compensated, or they won’t create… integrity.”
It’s not clear if Budden is genuinely voicing his grievances with Complex or if he’s just trolling his followers. Another tweet from Monday stated, “For some reason everything is funny tonight.”
But this morning the rapper-turned-pundit posted, “I created that show… I’ll create another if need be… & another & another….. it’s when u CANT create that you move WITHOUT integrity.”
After Black Lives Matter activist DeRay Mckesson sent out a tweet about Budden possibly leaving Everyday Struggle, the Hip Hop veteran replied, “They didn’t give me a proper goodbye either. INJUSTICE!!!!!!”
As of press time, the official Everyday Struggle Twitter account has not addressed the situation regarding Joe Budden. Co-host DJ Akademiks and moderator Nadeska Alexis have not publicly commented yet either.
AllHipHop reached out to representatives of Complex and Everyday Struggle for comment.
UPDATE:
Complex Networks SVP Communications Jennifer St. Clair issued the following statement to AllHipHop:
I can confirm that Joe Budden is not continuing as a host on Everyday Struggle in 2018. The show will be back in the New Year with all new episodes and guests. We wish Joe all the best and thank him for a great 2017.
