AFTER spending the weekend ranting online about Megan Thee Stallion, Nicki Minaj has now released a song which does her dirty work for her.
Her new track Big Foot takes aim at rival Megan, with jibes about plastic surgery and her late mum and references to being shot in a 2020 altercation with rapper Tory Lanez.

The American star, who will headline Wireless festival in July, is retaliating after Megan released her latest single Hiss on Friday.
Fans suspected a throwaway line about Megan’s Law, which references the US legislation which enforces that information regarding registered sex offenders is available to the public, was a jab at Nicki’s husband Kenneth Petty, who served time for the attempted rape of a 16-year-old girl in 1995.
Megan and Nicki used to be friends, having released hit song Hot Girl Summer in 2019.
But their friendship has soured over the years with the rappers taking shots at each other on social media.
After Megan released Hiss, Nicki unleashed a tirade of deluded tweets before announcing she would release her own track.
I’m all for a bit of lyrical banter but Nicki has way overstepped the mark this time.
As for the song, it’s bang average.
AFTER TV’s 24 Hours In Police Custody made Luton look a pretty grim place to live, BBC Radio 1 has swooped in to change that.
Greg James has revealed the station’s Big Weekend will be held in the city from May 24 to 26.

He told me: “Radio 1’s Big Weekend is our favourite time of the year and we love taking it somewhere new every year.
“This year is the turn of Luton to experience the full Radio 1 treatment.
“It’s a simple mission really – we want everyone who comes along to have the best time.”
Last year Radio 1 took over Dundee and it was a massive success, with Lewis Capaldi, Arlo Parks and Wet Leg taking to the stage.
Today, Sugababes and Razorlight were added to the line-up for the three-day Victorious Festival in Portsmouth, kicking off on August 23.
It’s going to be an amazing year for live music.
BRITNEY’S APOLOGY TO JUSTIN
BRITNEY Spears is a lot more forgiving than me.
The singer has cut through the noise and posted a pretty gushing message to her ex, Justin Timberlake, in which she apologised for any upset she’d caused with memoir The Woman In Me.

Britney shared the post on Instagram and said: “I want to apologise for some of the things I wrote about in my book.
“If I offended any of the people I genuinely care about, I am deeply sorry.
“I also wanted to say I am in love with Justin Timberlake’s new song Selfish. It is so good.”
In her book, Britney recalled upsetting moments from her relationship with Justin including him cheating and how she felt pressured to have an abortion after falling pregnant by him.
RAYE won’t just clear up at the Brit Awards, she’ll also perform.
The Escapism singer has been signed to sing alongside Dua Lipa and Kylie Minogue.
She isn’t the only star who is about to get a mega moment in the spotlight either, with K-pop stars Stray Kids signing up to headline BST Hyde Park on July 14.
ED’S OUT ON TOWN
ED Sheeran is a huge Ipswich Town fan and even forks out to sponsor their kit.
But it seems his enthusiasm for the team isn’t always matched by the club’s manager Kieran McKenna.
Before the team’s historic loss to Maidstone FC on Saturday, pundits on TalkSport said: “Ed has gatecrashed the dressing room a few times.
“He’d had a few drinks. He came downstairs after the game at Watford and gate-crashed Kieran’s interview on Town TV.
“I don’t think Kieran was too impressed.”
Miserable sod.
Iggy’s in bit of a crush
IT takes a brave woman to wear PVC this tight, but Iggy Azalea was more than up for the challenge.
The US singer squished herself into a tight coral corset which she wore with matching tasselled trousers and boots as she performed at the Adult Video News Awards in Las Vegas.

I’ll spare you the details of the big winners on the night, but I’m sure Iggy’s gynaecologist would have been one of them.
Iggy switched into another lung-crushing green costume during her performance, which saw her joined on stage by six dancers.
Speaking ahead of her performance, Iggy said: “I can’t wait to deliver a show that embodies the spirit of liberation and creative freedom.
“Let’s make this an unforgettable night.”
Now I’ve seen what she chose to wear, I don’t think I’ll struggle to remember it.
STONES ACE BILL: CONSCRIPTION WAS A BLESSING
LAST week’s talk about conscription had the Gen Z lot up in arms, unsurprisingly.
But Rolling Stones legend Bill Wyman – who was called up for two years of national service from 1955 with the RAF – thinks it would do the nation’s lazier youngsters a favour.

Promoting his new book, Billy In The Wars, about his memories of growing up in wartime London, Bill said: “I think it would not be a bad idea.
“When you are in your early teens as a boy, you are a bit of a loose cannon sometimes, and you learn to respect people when you go into the military.
“I wasn’t afraid to go into National Service.
“I spent two years in Germany and the amazing thing was that was where I heard the beginnings of rock ’n’ roll.
“I was a bit ahead of the time. I went out and bought a guitar and formed a little skiffle group.
“When I came out, I put a band together and that is where my musical career began.
“I have to be thankful for being called up because otherwise that would never have happened.”
