Rick Ross ‘Champagne Moments’ Drake Diss Produced by MiniBoom / Nicki Minaj Brings ‘SFG -Queen Mix’ Line Up To G** City Tour / Lady London Holds It Down For Female Rap + More
Remember when we used to play I -D-E- C-L-A-R-E-W——? That’s what Hip Hop feels like these days….
Kendrick Lamar sparked Hip Hop’s infamous ‘BIG 3’ debate a few weeks ago, by dissing Drake and J. Cole, as a feature on Future and Metro Boomin’s new track ‘Like That’, and the Culture hasn’t slept since….
While J. Cole initially responded to Kendrick, he’s since retracted his ‘7 Minute Drill’ come back, and forfeited from the challenge. Cole must know something we don’t, because, it seems every other Artist has a problem with Drake!
Rick Ross, Owner of Slippery Soap car cleaning solution, and host to the annual Car Show in Georgia, came out the wood works and inserted himself in the feud. Ross claims he’s upset, Drake sent French Montana a cease and desist, for a feature Drake wanted removed, off Splash Brother’s a track featured on Montana’s album, Mac & Cheese 5.
Ross can be a little over the top, while also hilarious, witty, and lyrical. In true Ross form, he released a diss track named ‘Champagne Moments’ and social media is in shambles!
We love a good Rap debate and competitive sparring…. as long as it stays on wax!
Ross dropped his track on Sunday, moments after I joined Rashad Bilal of Earn Your Leisure, impromptu Instagram Live, with 19Keys, AlexTheGreat and MECCA.
See what everyone said below:
While we debated on IG, a debate was brewing on Twitter, about who produced the beat for Champagne Moments. I saw someone say the beat was originally for another track, but Ross surprised us with his diss record.
Either way the production is fire, and it’s been confirmed; the beat was produced 16-year-old Producer, MiniBoom; the son of Music Video/Television Director, Benny Boom.
MiniBoom, who’s also produced for Fivio Foreign ; released a statement through The NOW PR.
See his response to the hype below:
MiniBoom initially produced the track and had plans to link up with Rick Ross in the studio but those plans fell through. Still persistent, he sent the track to Ross.
Then this past Saturday, just as the rest of the world, MiniBoom woke up to Ross released single titled “Champagne Moments” dissing International star Drake. The record went viral and now sparks tons of new interest into what the artist has in the pipeline. Ross as of today released the record on all DSP's and is now available for download.

Surprise! Nicki Minaj brought the girls out for her Pink Friday 2 Tour, this past weekend in Boston.
Y’all can’t say she not a girls-girl anymore. She showed love to all the girls featured on Super F***** Girl - Queen Mix, including; JT, BIA, Akbar V, Malibu Mitch and Katie Got Bandz.
While there were some mic issues, and the performance could’ve been more coordinated; it was good seeing all the ladies. Click here for footage of the performance, and the ladies backstage recap.
Pink Friday 2’s roll out featured other cool surprises like Pink Friday Nails, a press-on nail collection which launched last month. Nicki also dropped a male and female sneaker collaboration; Nicki Minaj X LOCI last week.
There’s a fashion exhibit this week, honoring Nicki’s style over the years, if you’re in the New York Ciy and want to check it out.
It’s probably not produced by Nicki’s team and most likely Fan curated, but still sounds cool.
