00:00Cardi B is mad, people are mad at Nicki Minaj and Billie Eilish, plus Y&W Melly is flexing

00:08behind bars. Hey guys, it's Devontae for Hollywood Life with your Hip Hop Roundup,

00:14starting with Jay-Z. The other day we told you about the Carters receiving backlash for

00:18not standing during Demi's performance of the National Anthem. The moment even got a

00:22reaction from Colin Kaepernick. Well now, during a recent appearance at Columbia University,

00:26Jay-Z explained that he wasn't protesting. He said because Roc Nation is handling the

00:31NFL's music and entertainment, he and Beyonce slipped into artist mode and started analyzing

00:35everything about the performance. Jay added there was no need for a silent protest because

00:40they were already, quote, making the biggest, loudest protest of all by selecting such a

00:45diverse group of artists to perform. But alright, while you and I are out here in the real world

00:49struggling to afford Versace, Y&W Melly is somehow flexing the luxury brand behind bars. The

00:55incarcerated rapper showed off some Versace sneakers on Instagram and fans are more confused

01:00than ever how he got a hold of them. But alright, to Billie Eilish now because her recent interview

01:03with Vogue magazine is still making waves and this time her statements are rubbing hip-hop

01:07fans the wrong way. To sum it all up for you, Eilish accused rappers of lying in their music.

01:12She said, there's a difference between lying in a song and writing a story. There are tons

01:16of songs where people are just lying. Listen up, just like with the Billie Eilish Van Halen drama,

01:21if you take some of her hot takes on your favorite music seriously, you're playing yourself. Stop

01:26it. To Nicki Minaj, the rapper teased a new song the other day and quickly got slammed for her

01:30line referencing Rosa Parks. Well, a source close to the rapper told TMZ Nicki was not trying to

01:35diss the great Mrs. Parks. She was just using what she thought was a clever metaphor aimed at her

01:40haters. Adding to this, the site says Nicki didn't release the teaser right before Rosa's

01:44birthday on purpose. It was a coincidence and in hindsight, bad timing. But okay, now let's talk

01:49about Quality Control's Stripper Bowl. The annual event took place in Miami on Super Bowl weekend

01:53and reportedly involved celebs and athletes throwing up to $1 million in cash. However,

01:58videos of the aftermath have gone viral and they include dancers fighting, attendees trying to

02:03steal money, and a bunch of women claim they weren't paid fairly for dancing. Faced with a lot

02:07of backlash, Quality Control's CEO Pierre Thomas finally broke his silence yesterday and placed the

02:12blame on the venue. Cardi B also reacted to the situation and here's some of what she had to say.

02:17And dancers, I love y'all. I love y'all to death. I'm like the ultimate stripper advocate. I'm the

02:24ultimate stripper advocate. I'ma always have y'all back especially because we're in an era there is

02:29like stripper again bartenders. I know the pain of being a stripper but let me tell y'all something

02:34right? People throw money when they hear a song that they really like or when the stripper is

02:40entertaining. Now, I was throwing money at songs that I know and that I like. If I don't know a song,

02:48I'm not throwing money to it. The only way I'ma throw money if I see the stripper shaking her ass

02:55and it's entertaining me. Y'all bitches wasn't entertaining. Y'all and me niggas wanna throw

03:01money. I felt like I was obligated to throw money and everybody felt obligated to throw money but it

03:08it felt at one point it felt like niggas didn't really wanted to throw money because y'all wasn't

03:12entertaining. But alright guys, hit that sub, like, and bell button and stick with us for all
