The trio have a new EP out, Rawther. Part of the EP seem very influenced by White Stripes-era Jack White, and even sounds like they borrow a bit of "The Hardest Button to Button" in the first track, "Intro."

With a calm almost cool tone, Nicki's aggression comes across in the emotion she doesn't display. With every line, though, she tells it like she sees it: "F- your little memes/ Even Queen Bee had to tell them I'm the queen."
The track also contains a diss aimed at Miley Cyrus. The two beefed back in October at the 2015 VMAs, when Nicki took issue with Miley's appropriation of black culture. "If you want to enjoy our culture and our lifestyle, bond with us, dance with us, have fun with us, twerk with us, rap with us, then you should also want to know what affects us," she said in an interview about her problem with the singer.
In "Down in the DM" Nicki raps, 'I said, 'Miley, what's good?' / I said, 'Could you pay my bills like O'Reilly? Wuss good?' / I just sit back and observe / All these n-- that I done curved." Listen here.
Unfortunately, Rihanna squashed everyone's hope when she told Ellen she was single. "I'm single right now and it's not that I'm like, 'Oh, pro-single, yes, I hate men!'" she explained. "I just think I have so much on my plate that I can't even find the time to entertain a steady relationship or anything serious. Or even a text."
She has, however, texted nude photos in the past. Rihanna played a game of "Never Have I Ever" with George Clooney on the show, and she revealed-thanks to her paddle board labeled "I Have"-that she'd sent a nude selfie. Clooney, on the other hand, had not. Read more here.

Claiming that the story has been blown out of proportion, he promised, "Soon as I'm home, me & my lawyers will EAT THIS CASE like a box of Minion Twinkies on sale at Walmart !" The Game is currently touring in Europe. Read more here.
