36. Nicki Minaj: The Queen of...what?? 

Spoiler alert...it’s not rap. Ahead of our discussion about Nicki, we unpack the verdict of the ICJ hearing and demystify the legalese that came with it and ask: why didn’t anyone say ceasefire now? Then, we get down to business and talk about Miss Nicki Lewinsky herself and her unforgivable behaviour towards Megan Thee Stallion. Is Nicki OK? Of course, she’s not.  The next march for Palestine is on Saturday 3rd February. Meeting point: BBC, Portland Place, London, 12 noon. Click here for more information. In the Spotlight: Megan Thee Stallion and her new single Hiss.
