In recent times, a disturbing phenomenon has been emerging, particularly within the world of celebrity fan bases. Individuals who dared to voice their criticisms against popular rapper Nicki Minaj found themselves victims of an alarming cybercrime trend known as doxxing. These individuals, are reportedly considering various legal options to protect themselves and seek justice.
A Closer Look at Doxxing
An article by Time Magazine shed light on this terrifying experience that has befallen several individuals who dared to criticize Minaj, particularly concerning her recent feud with fellow artist, Megan Thee Stallion. These individuals claim they were doxxed by Minaj’s ardent fan base, colloquially known as the Barbz.
The term “doxxing,” as explained by The Atlantic, refers to the act of revealing and maliciously using another’s private and personal information. This deliberate act of cybercrime has left the victims scrambling, looking for ways to legally shield themselves while attempting to gather as much information as they can about the perpetrators.
The Unfortunate Experience of Erick Louis
One such individual is Erick Louis. Louis, a content creator on the popular app TikTok, found himself in the crosshairs after he uploaded a video criticizing Minaj’s “Big Foot” track. The repercussions were swift and unexpected. He received a phone call from his brother, informing him that an unordered pizza had been delivered to his house. Soon, his phone was inundated with calls from unknown numbers, an experience he described to Time as nerve-wracking and unsettling.
The Painful Betrayal of Bela Delgado
Another victim of this malicious act is Bela Delgado, a former Nicki Minaj fan who once ran fan accounts for the rapper in 2017. Delgado’s disillusionment with Minaj began when the artist started associating with controversial figures like Tekashi 6ix9ine, who pled guilty to using a minor for a sexual performance.
The backlash from the Barbz was swift and brutal after Delgado uploaded (and later deleted) a video expressing their disappointment in Minaj following the release of “Big Foot.” The harassment was not only directed at Delgado but also their family members.
The Legal Maze: A Complex Path to Justice
According to entertainment attorney Lauren Kilgore, navigating the legal system to find justice for doxxing victims is a complex and uncertain path. The legal landscape is nuanced, and current discussions in Congress about crafting anti-doxxing legislation must carefully balance free speech rights against privacy protections.
Seeking Accountability: A Plea for Responsibility
While the victims grapple with the aftermath, there’s a call for the celebrities whose fan bases carry out these attacks to take responsibility. Ebony Jasmine Harris, another victim of the Barbz’s doxxing, believes that if Minaj chooses to use her power negatively and refuses to speak out against the doxxing, it speaks volumes about her as an individual.
Wrapping Up: An Ongoing Battle
As the people continue their battle against the violation of their privacy, a larger conversation about the power of celebrity fan bases and the potential for harm has been sparked. The victims are not just seeking justice for themselves but also hope to raise awareness about the dangers of doxxing and the need for stricter regulations and laws to combat it.
In the meantime, they continue to navigate their way through this horrifying experience, bearing a heavy burden and an even heavier responsibility to protect their privacy and ensure their safety in the face of relentless cyber harassment. They’re standing up against the violation, exploring legal options, and hoping for a safer, more respectful cyberspace where dissent doesn’t lead to dangerous retaliation.
G Herbo fans have a great day ahead of them. Among the hardest working musicians in the industry, the 27-year-old rapper is one of the most promising. In addition to his nonstop touring and live performances, and his consistent release of high-quality music whether as a solo artist or as a featured artist, Swervo has always shown a meticulous approach to his craft. Springtime is the perfect time for rappers like Herb to work out before summer approaches. This new release was well timed. This afternoon (April 28), the rapper behind “4 Minutes Of Hell” releases his latest album, Strictly 4 My Fans 2.
The follow-up to Strictly 4 My Fans, which was released in 2016, Strictly 4 My Fans 2 is his first official release of 2023. In his capacity as a rapper, G Herbo understands that there are times when you must give your fans what they want despite what you normally schedule – he recognizes this in a very clear and compelling manner. The Chicago rapper never stops giving his fans what they want, so whether it’s a surprise freestyle or a full-length album, he’s sure to satisfy their wants.
This cassette includes 12 songs that are sure to keep you on repeat for a very long time, including some heavy hitters that you are sure to keep playing over and over, such as “Outside” and “Watch Me Ball, Pt. 2” with Mello Buckzz and GloRilla. In addition to the feature, Drench, a lifelong friend of his, lends his services as his only feature as well. It is safe to say that, even though the majority of the tape is handled by G Herbo by himself, it is a confident and confident statement that the rapper has another hit project under his belt and he is only just beginning his career.
Earlier today (January 20), Ice Spice dropped a new surprise project titled Like…? As part of the offering, she has included six tracks, including several of her viral hits, such as, “Munch (Feelin’ U)” and “Bikini Bottom.” Taking its name from one of her infamous ad-libs, the EP counts only one guest appearance from Lil Tjay, a guest appearance on the track “Gangsta Boo.” On the said track, the 23-year-old artist Ice Spice makes use of the sample of “I Need A Girl (Pt. 2)” by Diddy:
“It all started when I made the song ‘Gangsta Boo,’ then I thought about who I would want to hear on it, really,” Ice Spice said during an interview that appeared on Apple Music 1 recently “On the other hand, I wanted to make sure this was a true collaborative effort. Do you feel what I am saying? I have been friends with him since last year, so I thought he was the most appropriate person to make that decision. We both come from the Bronx, and we are both very close friends. Despite the loss, I recorded the song before she (Gangsta Boo) passed away. Actually, it was just before that. I therefore agree with the statement. The timing was exactly right, and it was a very sad coincidence.”
It was not long ago that the New York-raised rapper made waves on the drill scene when she released tracks like “Bully (Freestyle)” and “No Clarity.” As the year 2022 progressed, it was apparent that she had hit her stride as she gradually released more music, dropping tracks like “Be A Lady” and “Euphoric,” which both were released at the same time. During the emergence of her new hit song, “Munch (Feelin’ U),” which was co-signed by Drake, she gained a worldwide following.
Baby Keem seems to be one of those artists that we are all supposed to like and respect. There is no doubt that the Las Vegas rapper has shot to fame over night, despite the fact that he released EPs and singles before his breakout single “ORANGE SODA.” Keem is set for greatness, and it is without a doubt that he possesses all the qualities that will enable him to attain such lofty status. As quirky and memorable as his lines are, the squeaky and mysterious manner in which he delivers his vocal delivery is also memorable. The way he drops quotables at an impressive rate, he makes his music quotable, and he is a talented producer as well. There is no doubt that every Keem song has its own unique sound. As a result of his close relationship with his cousin Kendrick Lamar, his career is certain to be pushed even further in the future. In addition to the deluxe version of The Melodic Blue, which will be available for a limited time, the 22-year-old rapper also brings us some additional songs for the upcoming Halloween.
As you may have missed earlier in the year when it was announced that Keem’s debut album had been certified gold by the RIAA, then this should come as no surprise to fans given all the impact the album had on the music industry when it was released earlier this year. “I don’t think there is anything like it right now in music, at least not in my opinion,” the Vegas-based artist told Billboard back in September. “I took my time recording every vocal part. During that period of time, I struggled through a lot of things, just learning and growing as a man.” Moreover, he went on saying that he really wanted to make sure he gave people what they really needed, not what they wanted to hear, but what they needed to hear. It would be possible to say that if it were up to some people, it would be easy for me to just make one or several batches of ‘Orange Soda’ and call it a day.”
Gospel artist Fred Hammond, 59, has taken to Instagram to reveal that he tested positive for COVID-19. He got his results on Monday (Nov. 9), from a same-day test.

According to Hammond, he knows exactly when he contracted it. He revealed that he let his guard down once, which is when he would have caught the virus.
