Nicki Minaj and Cardi B issue messages to each other’s children

October 3, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Children were not off limits in the latest resurgence of Nicki Minaj‘s beef with Cardi B. Nicki kicked it off Thursday night, directing a message to Cardi’s daughter Kulture Kiari Cephus, who she called “ugly,” a “roach” and a “monkey” during the heated exchange.

“Dear Kulture, truth is: I did all of this for a bigger purpose and one day you’ll understand… you’re a cute child & lots of kids have cute little funny looking gums before they grow into all of their features,” Nicki wrote on X. “I apologize. As a child of God & QUEEN of my community who look to me for integrity… you’re an innocent child & don’t deserve any of this.”

“One day your mother, aunt & many more will be brought to their knees for what they’ve said AND TRIED to do to my young prophet/beautiful boy,” she continued. “Take care my darling. This isn’t who I am.”

Cardi responded with a post to Nicki’s son, Papa Bear, which also included shots toward Nicki and her family. She’d previously questioned Papa’s intellectual and behavioral abilities during the back-and-forth with Nicki.

“Dear papa perc, I’m sorry that your mommy haven’t cut you a birthday cake for the past 3 days cause she can’t take my success or happiness,” Cardi wrote. “One day you going to grow up and I hope you understand when a girl says NO it means NO and you can overcome the pedophilia blood you inherited from you your grandfather, father and uncle.”

“Please don’t hate me when you grow up cause your mommy rather give me more attention than she gives you,” she added. “Hopefully when somebody that really cares about her puts her in rehab and get her the help she needs she come out and read you a book.”

October 3, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Eric Church will deliver the 2026 spring commencement address at the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill.

“Being asked to be the Commencement speaker at North Carolina is one of the greatest honors I’ve ever had,” he says. “Being a Tar Heel ‘born, bred, dead’ and knowing what the school has meant to me and my family, it’s surreal.”

“To be able to be there and celebrate the future, the students at the University of North Carolina as they go onto their next journey, I’m honored to do it, and I can’t wait to see everybody there,” he adds.

Eric will give his speech May 9 at Kenan Stadium.

“A proud North Carolinian and one of country music’s most influential voices, Eric Church has long been a devoted Tar Heel fan and supporter of our University,” Chancellor Lee H. Roberts says. “His significant efforts to help rebuild western North Carolina after Hurricane Helene reflect his steadfast commitment to his hometown and our state. I am confident his perspective will encourage the Class of 2026 as they begin the next stage of their lives.”

Currently on the Free Machine Tour, Eric plays Rupp Arena in Lexington, Kentucky, Friday night.

Lady Gaga hopes her next starring role will be ‘mom’

October 3, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Lady Gaga seems to be ready for her next big role — but it’s not in a movie or a TV show.

While appearing on The Late Show with Stephen Colbert Thursday night, the talk show host asked Gaga if she’d like to continue acting, or perhaps star on Broadway. “I would like to do many things, yeah. I mean, all of these things. But I, what I really want is to be a mom. That’s my next starring role, I hope.”

Gaga also raved about her fiancé, Michael Polansky, calling him her “best friend in the whole world.” She added, “He’s just incredibly brilliant and sweet and kind and he just fights for me every day. I think I felt for a long time that I was navigating this thing on my own and it was hard. And it’s not anymore. And I’m very lucky.”

Colbert noted that Gaga seems very happy right now and asked her, “Is a happy artist as productive as one who would be perceived of as ‘tortured’?” Gaga confirmed, “Without a doubt.”

Interestingly, Gaga echoed what Taylor Swift, who is also engaged, told BBC 1 Radio on Friday — that she’d always wondered, “What if writing is directly tied to my torment and pain?” She then answered her own question: “And it turns out, that’s not the case at all.”

Bruce Springsteen recalls his first and only karaoke experience

October 3, 2025 by WDNY Radio

You’d think folks would be excited to see Bruce Springsteen taking part in some karaoke, but apparently that just wasn’t the case.

Springsteen appeared on Jimmy Kimmel Live! Thursday, where he shared the story of his first and only karaoke experience, noting it happened in a small bar in London.

“I decided I was going to do The Temptations‘ ‘Ain’t Too Proud to Beg,’” The Boss said. “And so I assume, I’m gonna get up there, I’m going to sing a few notes and this place is going to go wild. So I got up there, I started singing and they thought I was just another a****** who got up onstage and was trying to do karaoke.”

He added, “So it was really disappointing. I’ve never done it again.”

Springsteen was on Kimmel with Jeremy Allen White, who plays him in the upcoming movie Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere. Springsteen was a constant presence on the film’s set and said he feels a little bad about.

“I felt a little guilty about that because I was on the set quite a bit,” Springsteen said. “And I’m going, here’s the guy, the guy’s not only trying, playing me, but he’s got to play me while my stupid a** is sitting in the chair next to him.”

Springsteen then apologized to White, adding, “You did a great job. He really tolerated me on the set.”

But Jeremy said that while he first felt nervous about Bruce being around, “I very quickly realized, like, his presence was permission. And, you know, it would have been strange if he was so close to us the whole time and he wasn’t with us while we were filming. So I’m very grateful for it.”

Springsteen: Deliver Me From Nowhere opens Oct. 24.

During UK press tour, Taylor Swift talks engagement, Ed Sheeran singing at her wedding and more

October 3, 2025 by WDNY Radio

Taylor Swift launched her new era with a round of interviews in the U.K., sharing her first public thoughts on her engagement to Travis Kelce.

People reports that while appearing on Friday’s episode of the BBC’s The Graham Norton Show, Taylor raved about Travis’s proposal. “He really crushed it in surprising me. While we were talking on his podcast, he had a complete garden built out the back of his house to propose in,” she said, adding, “He went all out – 10 out of 10.”

But Taylor didn’t reveal a timeline for her and Travis’ nuptials, joking, “You’ll know.” She added, “I want to do the album stuff first, and the wedding is what happens after in terms of planning. I think it will be fun to plan.”

She also discussed her engagement ring, telling the U.K. radio station Heart that she’d shown Travis a video “a year-and-a-half ago” of Kindred Lubeck, a jeweler whose work she admired. “He was just paying attention to everything, it turns out. When I saw the ring, I was like, ‘(Gasp!) I know who made that!”

Asked by the U.K.’s Hits Radio if Ed Sheeran would sing at her wedding, Taylor said, “Oh it would be hard to keep him from it, I think,” adding, “We [both] love to get up onstage, it’s actually not that hard at talking either of us into performing at anything.”

In another interview on BBC Radio 1, Taylor spoke about a secret concern of hers.

“I used to have this dark fear that if I ever were truly happy and free, being myself and nurtured by a relationship, what happens if the writing just dries up?” she said, adding, “And it turns out, that’s not the case at all.”

Taylor’s The Life of a Showgirl is out now.
