Behind The Lyrics: Ciara Goes In On Future On “I Bet”
Yesterday afternoon we shared Ciara’s new song “I Bet,” so after you let it rock for a little while in your playlist, now I want to go over the lyrics! If you’ll recall, CiCi was relatively quiet on the music front for the last couple of years, since after the success of her 2013 hit “Body Party,” she soon got pregnant with her son with Future and took time off to be a mommy. Now that the relationship with Baby Future’s dad has long since fizzled and she’s had plenty of QT with her little one, the fierce mama is ready to get back to work, and she’s sparing NO feelings on her comeback track!
Nicki Minaj’s Ex (or Possible Boyfriend?) Gets Disrespected Left and Right On “Only”
Nicki Minaj reportedly broke up with her longtime boyfriend Safaree ‘SB’ Samuels last week (with rumors fueled by SB covering 2 of his 3 Nicki tattoos,) and though it’s not for sure they’re totally over with, what is for sure is Nicki’s new single “Only” isn’t too kind to him. Nicki’s first line assures listeners that she’s never had sexual relations with neither Wayne or Drake – despite what everyone always says – but lets us know that if she did, she’d “menage wit ‘em, and let ‘em eat my a$$ like a cupcake!” Well alright then! Drake is up next (following a hook from Chris Brown – making for the first time the pair got on a song together since the infamous beef,) and fires off a few shots, letting Nicki’s man know that he has his eye on his girl.
