Maury Povich announced his willingness to come out of retirement to mediate Hip-Hop feuds using lie detector tests during his appearance on Sherri Shepherd’s talk show.
The legendary talk show host revealed his ambitious plan to tackle some of Hip-Hop’s biggest conflicts. “I would come out of retirement if I could get Nicki Minaj and Cardi B to settle their differences with lie detector tests,” Povich said during his Monday appearance on Sherri. Povich didn’t stop with the female rap superstars. He also expressed interest in mediating the explosive feud between Drake and Kendrick Lamar through primetime specials focused on settling rap disputes.
Nicki Minaj and Cardi B reignited their bitter rivalry earlier this year with social media attacks that escalated to personal insults involving their children. Minaj has been particularly active in feuds recently. She’s clashed with SZA, Jay-Z and California Governor Gavin Newsom in recent months. Megan Thee Stallion addressed their alleged beef last year, telling Billboard that they still don’t understand what caused the problems. The connection between Povich and Hip-Hop got fresh attention recently when 50 Cent posted about running into the TV legend.
The rapper shared a photo with Maury Povich on social media, joking about paternity tests with his signature humour. The post went viral, prompting fans to speculate about potential collaborations.
