00:00 Do not call Nicki Minaj auntie.
00:02 We announce the finalist for this year's BBMAs,
00:06 Young Lucas plays This or That.
00:08 We run down the top songs on TikTok
00:10 and we revisit the epic West Coast hip hop halftime show.
00:14 (upbeat music)
00:17 I'm Tetris Kelly back with another episode of Billboard News.
00:20 It's Thursday, October 26th
00:21 and we start things off with a Nicki Minaj update.
00:25 Newsflash, don't test her.
00:27 - Auntie, auntie.
00:31 - Kai learned the hard way, don't call Nicki Minaj auntie.
00:34 As the rapper also announced
00:36 she's pushing her album back again
00:37 because nobody competes with Weezy.
00:40 Listen, in the black community,
00:42 sometimes we call people auntie that are older than us,
00:44 but with respect, but it was all disrespect
00:47 when YouTuber Kai Sinat called her that on IG Live.
00:51 - Who the (beep) do you think you talking to?
00:54 - Sit your silly ass down.
00:57 - Ew, like they be talking like a (beep)
01:01 (laughs)
01:02 - Dang, she didn't have to hang up on homie,
01:04 but we also got news on her Pink Friday too.
01:08 - The new album date for this incredible body of work
01:12 that I'm so proud of is on a very special day
01:17 to me and to the Barms.
01:20 - The album has been delayed twice,
01:22 this time with good cause
01:23 because Lil Wayne's joint project with 2 Chainz
01:26 drops on the same day.
01:27 And she said he would never drop the same day as her.
01:30 Now it's a celebration of her 41st birthday.
01:34 - I'm so happy to announce
01:38 we'll be out on my birthday, December 8th.
01:42 - We can't wait.
01:44 Speaking of hip hop's greatest,
01:45 who can forget when some of the best rappers of all time
01:48 teamed up to give the perfect Super Bowl halftime show.
01:52 This year, hip hop is celebrating its 50th anniversary.
01:55 But just last year, the Super Bowl celebrated the genre
01:58 in the most West Coast way possible.
02:00 ♪ Straight foot in town for California, yeah ♪
02:03 - We take you back to that California love
02:04 in this week's pop culture rewind.
02:06 It was the Rams versus the Bengals at Super Bowl 56
02:15 and the location was LA SoFi Stadium in Inglewood.
02:18 Pepsi invited the best to ever do it
02:20 in the best city to do it.
02:22 Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Kendrick Lamar, Mary J. Blige,
02:26 and Eminem all took the stage.
02:28 Dre and Snoop reminded us why Cali is the state we love.
02:31 50 Cent took us to the club and did it while upside down.
02:37 Kendrick delivered the iconic lyrics he's known for.
02:40 While Mary J. Blige took us to the dancery
02:42 and gave us that memorable shot of her floored
02:45 from her performance.
02:46 And of course, Eminem had the crowd go crazy
02:49 with one of the most motivational anthems ever.
02:52 But seeing them all together was like nothing
02:54 we've seen in music history.
02:56 We had no choice but to sit down and be humble.
02:58 We'll have another huge moment for you next week
03:03 in our pop culture rewind.
