Cardi B and Nicki Minaj Feud: Twitter and The Maury Show Pick Sides!
Cardi B and Nicki Minaj are feuding. It"s intense, but at least nobody"s throwing shoes anymore.
Cardi claims that she passed over working with artists like Little Mix, and that Nicki is essentially getting her leftovers.
Nicki"s stans believe Nicki, Cardi"s stans believe Cardi, and most people are just enjoying watching the two fight.
After Cardi ranted and raved and invited Nicki to physically fight, Nicki had a counter-proposal.
Nicki said that Cardi doesn"t write her own lyrics … and "offered" for them to both take lie detector tests to prove it.
Naturally, as soon as someone mentioned that, The Maury Show had to weigh in.
Twitter is losing their minds over this whole beef. Take a look.
1. Nicki calls for peace
2. Did someone say "lie detector?"
3. Maury got some replies
4. Someone is betting on Cardi
5. Team Cardi spoke out
6. Some Cardi fans think Nicki is envious

Meghan Markle Baby Name: What Should She Pick?!
Breaking news: Meghan Markle is pregnant with her first child! She and Prince Harry are expecting sometime next spring.
Okay, so you probably heard that last week. But speculation about the newest royal baby’s name is already heating up!
Despite unconfirmed reports that Meghan is having a boy, and that Harry wants a girl, they’ve yet to confirm their offspring’s gender.
That’s not about to stop us from weighing in on her child – specifically what the Duke and Duchess of Sussex should name it.
Let’s just say that if she listens to our staff writers, she’ll have plenty of options for an idea that … wait … wait … Suits her.
HILTON HATER
Suits has given Meghan Markle so much already: it was through the show that she first came to global prominence.
The Pearson Darby storyline from Season 2 guided her through her first British merger. And as she was born Rachel Meghan Markle, choosing to take her middle name professionally, the show even gave her the opportunity to reclaim her birth name as Rachel Zane.
It is only fitting, then, that Suits provide the Duchess with the name of her first child. But which name to pick?
Unfortunately, the show’s three mainstays are out, as Harvey, Donna and Lewis are terrible first names. How about finding inspiration in the last names, then?
After all, Markle’s love life has been bereft of last names: on Suits, she married Mike Ross, a man with two first names. And in real life, she married Prince Harry, a man with no last name.
Again, this is a no-go: Specter is out, as naming a child after the organization out to kill James Bond is probably not the best way for a foreigner to ingratiate one’s self with the British populace.
As is Zane, as the break-up of One Direction is a wound far too fresh for England to reopen, even with a slight spelling change.
But perhaps there is something with Zane after all. Suits never lacked for drama, but it, like all shows, will eventually come to an end. The only drama that lasts forever is family drama.
While Markle has largely stayed above the muck that her estranged family keeps wading into, the naming of her child provides an opportunity for her to end that drama once and for all: name the child “Robert” after Robert Zane, her father on Suits and the best father figure Markle has ever had.
TYLER JOHNSON
For a boy: Harvey.
Generally, royal babies are given traditional names like Henry or Aethelred, so that if they wind up ascending to the throne due to freak accident or bloody war of succession, they can just slap a Roman numeral on the end and be done with it.
I say that’s lame, and it’s for nerds.
It worked for centuries, because the royal family is comprised entirely of lame nerds. But Meghan Markle is cool and hot and she’s from Hollywood, which is why, if she has a son, she should name it … Harvey.
Hear me out!
It’s been rough year for that particular moniker, but not all Harveys are sexual predators. Before she became the Duchess of Sussex, Meg was best known for her role on Suits, and her boss on the show was named Harvey Specter.
Yes, her husband on the show was named Mike, but you can’t give a royal baby such a basic-ass name. No one wants to bow before King Mike.
So christening the wee lad Harvey would be a great way to honor Meghan’s past while also reclaiming what could be a cool name and preventing future generations from associating it with a sweaty scrotum monster.
I’d be lying if I told you I knew I’d end up using that phrase in an article about baby names.
For a girl: Tatiana.
Ha! All the Suits fans out there thought I was gonna go with Rachel, in honor of Meghan’s character on the show. Well, I’ve got a surprise for both of you!
Yes, I’m once again paying tribute to MegMar’s acting career, but unlike all you bandwagon-jumpers, I’m aware that her most essential contribution to the world of cinema is her uncredited role as Tatiana in the largely forgotten Russell Brand-Jonah Hill classic Get Him to the Greek.
(Her part as a Fed Ex girl who gets hit on by Jason Sudeikis in Horrible Bosses is a close second.)
If I’m being completely honest, I had no idea Meghan was even in that movie until I Googled her filmography five minutes ago, and it looks as though her scene has been buried by the sands of time – if it even made the final cut.
But that’s neither here nor there.
At its core, this idea is about my desire to see the look on the Queen’s face when Harry and Meghan tell her they’re naming their daughter Tatiana because of a Russell Brand movie, a moment that I hope they would capture on video and put on YouTube for the world’s amusement.
This has been the first installment in my series on the many ways in which the royal family could be way cooler.
EMILY TRAINHAM
If you grew up wanting to be a parent, there’s a good chance you’ve spent at least a little bit of time thinking about baby names.
And if you meet an actual prince then fall in love with him and decide to get married, and you have some weird obligation to make more little baby princes and princesses … You DEFINITELY have some names floating around in your head.
What we’re saying is that Meghan and Harry are probably way, way ahead of us in thinking of potential names for their baby.
So we have a lot of catching up to do! First of all, let’s go ahead and throw out the name everyone’s going to be thinking of: Diana.
Sure, William and Kate used it as like the third name for their daughter, but it’s not like they own the name, you know?
But then again, Meghan is pretty much the coolest thing that ever happened to the royal family, so that might not be hip or original enough for her.
Maybe they’ll go with something that ends in “-ayden,” right? A lot of people seem to be into that. Or just a random but adorable noun, like River or Olive or Lamp.
Let’s see, one of her old dogs was named Bogart, so maybe they could reference some classic movie star? Hepburn? Monroe? Brando?
Ooh, ooh, or Grace Kelly, because she was a Hollywood star who became a princess, just like Meghan?! But you know what?
This whole thing would be way more fun if we all didn’t know that what’s going to happen is that they’re going to pick some old, boring name.
James, Mary, Victoria, Henry … Basically open up a history book, find the section about all the British kings and queens and their kids and dogs or whatever, and that’s where you’ll find your Harkle baby name. Such a waste.
SIMON DELOTT
What Harry and Meghan name their first child is a deeply personal choice that will reflect who they are as people as well as their child’s relation to the royal family.
So, naturally, I’m sure that they’d love to hear my opinion.
Alexander or Alexandra remain arguably great names, because they fall within the traditional names of British nobility and are also normal names.
William and Kate made similarly good choices with George and Charlotte but then stumbled on that front with Louis.
Louis is very royal but only a “normal” name if you are a duckling who wears green. But while variations of Alex may be good choices, they’re not super interesting.
We have already mentioned that Harry’s children will not have princely titles unless his grandmother intervenes to make it so.
By default, it is expected that Harry’s eldest son will be an Earl at birth. So Harry and Meghan should just name their son Earl.
It’s a dignified name and will effectively strong-arm the Queen into giving him a better title so that he doesn’t go around being called Earl Earl.
Instead, he’ll just grow up with resentments, like a normal child, and with no great love for the Dixie Chicks.
If they have a daughter, they should name her America. To be clear, that’s after America Chavez, a really great superhero.
By coincidence, it’ll be an eternal and glaring reminder of the land of Meghan’s birth. You know, in case anyone forgets.

Kailyn Lowry vs. Briana DeJesus: Teen Mom 2 Co-Stars Forced to Pick Sides?!
Now that Javi Marroquin and Briana DeJesus are broken up, you might think that the feud between Briana and Kailyn Lowry would come to a close.
But this beef started before Briana hooked up with Javi, and now it looks like it’ll continue now that the relationship is through.
Briana slammed Javi and Kailyn in an epic social media tirade last week.
It seems her tantrum was spurred by Javi’s appearance on Kailyn’s podcast, so it’s appropriate that Kail is reportedly planning on firing back on the next episode of Coffee Convos.
“Briana’s twitter meltdown was 100 percent directed at Kail,” a source close to the situation tells Radar Online.
“Javi is expected to come back on the podcast in the next couple of weeks, as well as Leah [Messer] and [Teen Mom 3 star] McKenzie [McKee],” the insider adds.
“They could not believe what was coming out of Briana’s mouth and are definitely going to defend Kail!”
Yes, it seems Briana messed with the bull and will soon receive the horns.
She may have deleted the tweets in which she instructed Kailyn to “suck my d-ck,” but it seems the damage had already been done.
Kailyn has been on Teen Mom 2 much longer than Briana, and it seems the stars from the entire franchise our choosing her side.
Sure, Briana might have Jenelle Evans in her corner, due mainly to the fact that Jenelle and Kailyn have been feuding for years, but is that really an advantage?
Look if you’re in a rough spot, and having Jenelle on your side is your biggest consolation, you may want to consider giving up
We’re just saying.
Apparently, what outraged Kailyn the most was the fact that Briana called her out for reaching out privately in hopes of keeping their feud off social media.
“Do not ever call my phone at 7am talking about we need to leave social media alone when it comes to our issues, yet you are the first one to use my name to gain listeners,” DeJesus tweeted.
“I’ll say suck my d-ck whenever I want to and to whoever I want.”
She may regret that remark, as Lowry is reportedly prepared to go nuclear:
“Briana started this battle and she is going to get what’s coming to her,” says the source.
“Kail’s fans are very upset over this and so is her friends. No one is going to let Briana get away with what she said,”
Watch Teen Mom 2 online to relive the rocky road that led Kail and Bri to this point.
